I am trying to do 1 orange pill a month. I know that seems like a small number but I want to actually help people understand bitcoin and why it is different than crypto, not just convince them to buy 100 bucks worth. Not doing so great so far to be honest. Have only gotten 2 so far this year and one is pretty shaky, he keeps asking me about shitcoins.
Hey, don't worry about it being slow or small. Bitcoin is a complex idea, and thus it takes quite some time to spread. It happens a single person at a time, and through multiple discussions, comments, shared experiences, etc.
The book that really changed how I think about Bitcoin adoption is Change: How To Make Big Things Happen by Damon Centola. It explains complex contagions, which are complicated ideas that must be reinforced by multiple mechanisms over time in order to catch on. It takes time. That is natural and right. Never feel bad for it.
