I’m 60. Most of my friends have done fairly well in life. Most think my bitcoin journey is precarious at best, insane at worst. I just keep sprinkling the talk here and there. And I truly think a few have bitcoin and just won’t admit it to me. :)
I think the best angle for many people in the first world is the Alex Gladstein path. They may not yet see the need for them to invest in BTC because fiat has treated them fairly well - but Most of my friends - mostly republicans - do truly care about the less fortunate. And one story - say the story of Bangladesh basically pushed into debt slavery by the IMF, or I share with them how Gridless is bring power generation to areas in Africa (amazing!!)
that have never been electrified and they at least take a pause.
Look - I’m not techie - but I’ve read and studied BTC for years - and my head is still swimming down all these rabbit holes. My friends are not going to take the time to study. Nor are they going to engage more than a tiny bit in deep conversations about The Fed, 6102, 1971, etc.
They need snapshots, memes, heartfelt stories.
So all of you - please keep up the good work. I can’t tell you how thankful I am
For all you have done to try to push freedom forward. When u get overwhelmed - take a break. Rejuvenate. But then get back at it. We need you. You are truly making a huge difference. Again, I thank you.
