Why’s that? What’s holding back?
The person to whom the place where I live is a simple person, from a poor region in the mountains of Peru.
Today he drives a building and several commercial premises, since his mother died in 2020.
It is not in a situation of necessity, and has regular income. (For the life is resolved) and there is no room to learn about these issues about the money from the Internet, or if the money it receives does not work, it serves a lot, that lives and with that money makes its expenses.
I already tried to tell him that Bitcoin existed approximately a year ago, and his gaze when I mentioned him on money on the Internet and all that was ... "This asshole wants to cheat me."
He told me: "Yes, yes, Internet money, I don't use that! I like real money in my hands where I can tell it" 😶

Wow, your writing and ability to share that story is excellent. Honestly what would make that story next level is if you “orange pilled” him… nothings perfect and that’s okay. Did you tell him that same physical cash is also melting away at the same time? Lol
I really love hearing stories like that, they’re genuine and provide value on the current state of adoption. We are still early!

Thank you very much, you are very kind.
We are still early!
Totally agree, this trip with Bitcoin, is something that just begins.
It is only enough to understand the foundations, see how much cycles we have barely transcended, understand the monetary policies of the State, visualize all the amount of money or financial instruments that accumulate value and that are still outside Bitcoin. Without a doubt, this trip just begins.

No problem, I have to speak honestly and you did a great job.
We will always be early, even with all the recent institutional adoption.
If you think about it, we’ve only gone through 3-4 real cycles. I tend to combine 1 and 2. We are early, let’s keep on moving along and share the message as best we can.

It took me forever to realize that. I’ve known about Bitcoin since around 2017, I bought and sold in the same day then and in 2020. Once I dove down the rabbit hole in 2021, there was no going back. I was orange pilled to the grave!
