Very interesting. I live in a red rural area. This past week I went to speak at our county republican party about digital privacy and BTC. It was super well received and I had several people tell me they were interested, but didn't know how to buy BTC.
I think many people are in that category. I do, however, find it sad that people only understand BTC while it's up. If only they believed while the price was low.
I've floated the concept of a BTC economy to the president of our local bank, but he kinda laughed it off. Then I talked to a bank board member about it separately, and I found it pretty interesting that he suggested I talk to the local guy that does payment Processing.
It took me a while to explain that BTC can/will replace that system.
Has anyone here played around with #fedimint ? It looks to me like a decent way of setting up a BTC economy, but I have A LOT to learn...
Aside from Fedimint, it seems like orange pilling people and showing them how to set up simply self custody is the key.
