I didn't give up orange pilling for way too long because I thought all of my friends were intellectuals who could grasp Bitcoin.

I'm in the same boat bro. My conscience is clear. Love the friends I've made online for Bitcoin though.

I lost some friendships trying to orange pulling my friends..

🫂 feel that! In Bitcoin we just refer to each other as psychos so when normies say it, we’re desensitized.

I tried mostly because I didn’t want them to be pissed later on. I can tell them I tried

My biggest surprise was how deep fiat indoctrination runs. I've always been an independent thinker, and it even took me a couple years to really go through the whole unlearning process, and it was extremely painful. Like a self-induced exorcism and all I had were Bitcoin books and podcasts to keep m...

A friend put it well recently in conversation. There’s an inherent grift that comes off trying to convince others to get into the bitcoin space because they know you’re a bag holder. His goal and one I think I’ll adopt is to be a touch point and when they hear about it a 2nd, 3rd, 4th time th...

Yeah man... Honestly I've orange pilled more people by not trying at all than ones I've tried. It's weird. Glad you find that space.

I have a buddy that tells me every time I see him about the new penny stock he's into. I relentlessly told him to by bitcoin from 16k to about 40k before I gave up.

losing battles =/= losing wars. initial sacraficial attempts by you helped your friends in the long run whether you or they know it now or not.

Most people don't understand Bitcoin the first time or write it off as a scam. Being smart doesn't seem to help. It just takes time to understand it.

I hear you.🤙That’s what held me back for so long as well. Finally connecting with a few people helped push me over the edge.

I've had a surprising number of friends DM me since $100K BTC 😂

Me? An intellectual?

I know some really smart people who still don't get Bitcoin, or who are interested in it for NGU but have never tried to really understand it. It's not so much an intellectual thing, I think it's spiritual too on some level.
