Another way of looking at this, I went down the rabbit hard just like many of us, but over the years have found myself coming up for air more and more often. I find it useful to engage with the so-called normies, to go so far as to spend most of my social time with people who don't care or understand Bitcoin (though I do hangout with Bitcoiners when I can).
It is not that people who are not interested in Bitcoin are wrong or missing something, they just see the world differently. I know it is hard to believe, but state intervention in money and inflation just does not tickle everyone's fancy - there is a whole world of people who will look at it and just say "it is what it is."
There is more to life than Bitcoin, there are many things to be hopeful for, and much that is valuable. I think we can learn a lot from different people.
I still run my node and entertain a good conspiracy or two, but I also know there is a vast world of literature, art, food, family and friends, and all those things out there that make life worth living - there are people passionate about freedom and beauty and truth who don't know the first thing about Bitcoin. Maybe one day they will learn, maybe not - but it's all good.
