My husband basically orange-pilled his extended family this week while on vacation at the Red Sea.

They went from barely knowing what a bitcoin is to wanting to allocate a nontrivial amount of their savings to it. I was more of the conservative one because I don’t want to cause people to allocate beyond their level of understanding.

I have a much lower charisma score than him, so I just kind of watched it happen, and then pulled out a @N satscard and explained how it works for some physical flair.

They like the orange coin now. Having your national currency get cut in half relative the dollar in 2016, and then having it happen again in 2022, tends to make one more receptive to monetary alternatives.

Metal disks won't go to zero Bitcoins could For that reason alone, people should save metal disks and not just bitcoins

You guys are smart orange-pilling people at the local bottom instead of at the top like I did. 😂

Family is tricky. Would definitely encourage a small allocation to start with. The way things are looking I think almost all of 2024 will be good for accumulation. I regret getting caught up in my initial excitement for bitcoin and building my position too quickly. Left a lot of sats on the table. A...

It’s actually a good time to do it now. Minimal downside and large upside. You don’t want to do it in the year after halving really lol

If an individual doesn't understand the history of the fiat monetary system and it's short comings, orange pilling them will go over their head.

What did they think of Bitcoin's volatility over the years?

I too convinced my father to make his first BTC buy, $1000. He called me gitty the next day to let me know his BTC has already outperformed his CD, 8% in one night! I quickly reminded him to prepare for volitility in both directions. 1 day later BTC dumped from 29K to 25K. Welcome to my world Dad. ...

Hi Lyn. Is it easy to buy and sell BTC around Cairo or Hurghada?

I believe that if you care about someone, you want them to invest a third of their savings into BTC. If not they are just losing money...

How can we make it even easier?
