Is it really that fast to set up Strike and start buying, or do you mean get them set up with something so you can send them some of your sats?

I've tried Coinbase, Swan, River and Primal. Buying through Primal was hands down the closest thing to an instant experience.

The point at which I typically lose people is "now connect it to your bank account." They seem to be more afraid of the exchange stealing their fiat out of their bank account than anything else.

Orange-pilling someone is like performing bloodless brain surgery while the person is awake. You have to reach in and adjust paradigms they've believed in for decades, remove false beliefs they cling to, and kill sacred cows they will fight to defend even though they don't even know why they are defending them.

It's a lot like trying to get someone who's been vegan for decades to try a carnivore diet. The best strategy I've found is to just say, "try it for 90 days". This bypasses all of the philosophy, religion & false-beliefs, and trusts the underlying physiology and biochemistry.

I wonder if a similar strategy for orange-pilling new people would be as follows:

When someone asks any type of question about BTC, answer with, "Let me see your phone." Then quickly download/set up Strike, and buy them $5 worth of BTC. Then calmly hand back the phone and say, "You now own some BTC, you should learn more about it!"

Then stoically walk away...
Thoughts?
