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 @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 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.

Everyone allocates beyond their level of understanding … Few

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. 😂

Lyn you are a gift to humanity!

Really interesting story. Thank you for sharing. How, besides his charisma, did he orange pill them? Only by talking about it or did herhabe them read or watch things about Bitcoin or related topics.

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

Its always a struggle to want people to acquire some but not without first understanding it.

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.

Nice. I just picked up some SATS cards. How have you been using them?

What is a nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8Sats card? I might use it on my family too.

The only person I’ve successfully orange pulled was already a millionaire lol my friends and family refuse to learn anything 🥲

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

You know where I’m from, our currency has lost 50% power (compared to $) in the last 10 yrs

Brought your book to the Minneapolis meetup last night. All the buzz was around you being married!

Orange-pilling at the Red Sea. Beautiful name for a new book.🟠

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. ...

People living in Turkey understand this best. When the country's money is worth less than garbage, we immediately accept everything new.

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

William · 134w

Why does everyone think I wear a tin foil hat all the time? I mention Bitcoin and people roll their eyes. I honestly think people are brainwashed to the current system of money. These are the same people that can not see with a "relative eye". Will the masses wake up in time? I highly doubt it!

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...

I am surprised , on such a good post from nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a , why no one sent any comment?

How can we make it even easier?
