Orange pill \ stacker news ~bitcoin

61 sats \ 6 comments \ @blockguard 14 Mar 2023 bitcoin

I have couple of friends to orange pill but they're not willing to read any books that I suggest (because they're too lazy).

Is there any good article to link to them? Maybe something like "Bitcoin Standard for dummies". It should include some history of money and an explanation of fiat monetary system and not so much of a technical aspects.

I know it requires much more to understand bitcoin than just an article but you gotta start somewhere...

Thanks in advance.

If they would be motivated by free sats the Bitcoin Magazine 21 day course is very basic. If you're too lazy to open an email and read a few paragraphs once a day you might be beyond all hope.

This is a good course. It does require some dedication to read for 21 days though. My guess is video would be the best for your friends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DsK340KkUc

Then the only option will be to bring them to a Bitcoin meetup. Here are mentioned some https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/5-stages-became-bitcoiner

What about some movies? There are a few bitcoin movies, I like the one with the guy preparing a barbacue while has some mining equipment in the garage.

I think How Bitcoin works and why it has value was the first video I watched where it started to click for me and I fell down the rabbit hole. It's 25 minutes long.
