I entered "bitcoin space" in 2014.
Me too I'm trying to "wake up" family and friends on what is money and importance of self sovereignty and privacy. But I feel sad for "maxis" that turn bitcoin into their religion, they loose their objectivity and criticism.
But there are many communities of communities in bitcoin and it's hard to know if we talk about same people.

You see, that's where the problems begin. Nobody has to "wake up" because nobody is asleep. As a non-toxic Bitcoin maximalist myself I just cannot understand why so many Bitcoiners are unable to meet people at the point where they are at.
You have to understand them. You have to explain were you see current problems in the fiat world and especially on which opinions and underlying values these are based on. You have to answer their specific criticism or perspectives they have adequately.
You cannot just stand there, being so far far away from their daily life reality and have otherworldly opinions and be dismissive and call them "asleep". This would never ever work.

sometimes they make a move and start digging sometimes never. when I say try I fail most of times but manage for some 😆
