You can't be happy in ignorance.
Firstly, I define happiness as a continuous construction of a long-term state of general satisfaction with life. This differs from temporary satisfaction, such as the taste of a good meal, social media or drugs.
Thus, those who ignore reality will have to face its consequences soon or later. Right now, I'm seeing many unhappy people that don't know what is causing their lives to get more difficult (inflation and government). And they don't want to learn economics.
They could resort to temporary satisfaction and even get addicted. And those have costs as well, since food will get harder to acquire as everything is getting more expensive. So, when life arrive on a very extreme low point, they either buy satisfaction or die hungry. This may result in similar events like in Nepal, or in horrible environments, like narco-states.
I don't know any early prudent bitcoin hodler who's less happy now than the first day that they begun to quit the fiat system. But for the ignorant people, I'm seeing more and more of their unhappiness with life by looking at their faces.
Totally agree with your words. And the most incredible is that if one of these people asks how they could solve their problems, more than 80% will say that with money. And then you ask what money is? Or if they really know how that thing they call the solution of their problems (money) does not know what to say.
And if you add that then they should unlearn and then really learn what money is and how it works, to see things clearly, then they call you crazy. 🤷

And because of that, you have no obligation to share your knowledge with anyone. They only deserve it if they prove that they are genuine, by self-learning all of the information just like the majority of us did.
Teaching others is a long process of dealing with consolidated beliefs. By avoiding it, you'll save a ton of time and energy, that could be reused to do more efficient things that are under you control.
Honestly, the only people that deserves attention are your children (if you have any), since they'll succeed you. It is unacceptable to our successors grow without understanding how the world actually works.

Yes, leaving a legacy of knowledge for our children is the most important thing, and I understood it even more after discovering Bitcoin...
Because I used to think that leaving money in a bank account was the most important thing for them!
And it turns out that's not the case...
By leaving my children a fortune in Sats and teaching them everything they need to know about the subject!
I'm giving them financial freedom!

I like the idea that Bitcoin improves and changes the approach to happiness, which is true because it frees your mind, and through Bitcoin, your freedom is total.
I'm grateful for having fallen down the rabbit hole.
Thanks for your response 👌
