The case against orange-pilling

Congratulations, Bitcoiners!
We are firmly in a Then-They-Fight-You stage!
Now it's time to think harder about who and why you are orange-pilling. We all know how Bitcoin fixes almost anything :). We all know that it's a superior monetary asset. However, while Bitcoin is for anyone it doesn't have to be for everyone. And if you thought the hyper-Bitcoinization can happen without any struggle and pushback you are simply mistaken.
What do you think the separation of money and state meant? People will get hurt. Financially and worse. People are already not having fun getting constantly poorer. But not all of them are ready to be unplugged. Do you really need for the bankers and the world elite who have all the power and all the money already to understand Bitcoin right now? To get in at this adoption level? If the transfer of money happens to Bitcoin where do you think the money will come from? And when you for the hundredth time try to orange pill Elon Musk or Jamie Dimon or Peter Schiff do you really care about them? Or you just want them to pump your bag? There is nothing wrong with NGU, but it's time to think about the long game.
If Bitcoin is hope then give hope to your people. Give hope to your community. To your friends. To your family. To your loved ones.
The celebrities will be fine.
And also think again about your operation security. Even in your normie friend group. Are you still "the crypto guy" for them? What do you think will happen when Bitcoin hits a million dollars? How about x10 again from there? How do you think they will look at you then? Sure, it would feel nice to be finally right. But are you willing to compromise your security for that? There will be a lot of anger. Don't paint a target on yourself.
Chill out. Stack sats. Defend Bitcoin. And it will prevail.
