Who has spent many hours trying to persuade parents, grandparents and elders about the faults of the FIAT system and ended in failure? But all you have to look to is the little buddy behind you shoulder, the small child that's mind is wide open. I did an experiment creating an electrum wallet, which was his and printed out the QR code wallet id and I bought stuff off him with sats and he was absolutely loving it. Brought me to the idea that this game is a generational thing, teach the children and the rest will follow.

Experience greatly increases interest for understanding and kids are more open to new experiences.
I'm done with the missionary style orange pilling

Agreed, I live in a country where the local country is trying to undermine the national government (UK) via education to the young with a dying language ( Cymraeg ).
I can see first hand what an effect strategy this is for the idea for a country like Wales to gain independence. It is something that takes time , with the key goal to educate as many children as possible to speak the old historic language. This language of the Welsh is fascinating as it is so unusual to many other forms of tongue with the use of story telling and songs very prominent.
This method of teaching is already taking quite a divisive role between children that are the ages of 6-10 in the young years making the welsh children feeling more patriotic towards their national flag, which is fascinating to watch as a by stander you can see in 30 years to come half the population will be speaking welsh in this country. So my theory is surly you could use this approach for teachings little groms the benefits for stacking sats asfap.

Stacking sats as fap? Hope they focus on the stacking. š
Very interesting! If zaps/sats can become widespread in a short timeframe then we hopefully get a similar effect? I'm bullish on nostr

Yes. The next generation. They are already very online and understand apps/mobile as a second language whereas the rest of us were introduced halfway thru our lives.
Once the apps and websites are built and the zaps are flowing with ease the next generation may think itās an obvious solution - why NOT use bitcoin, itās so easy! This is why nostr gives me hope. Letās get content creators paid directly, remove ads, and create vibrant online cultures that canāt be stopped.

Iām an upper elementary teacher and talk about crypto frequently with the kids. Maybe 1/3 of them know and are interested in it. A couple in each class actually understand basic differences between their ābig 3ā of BTC, ETH, and DOGE. some of them even have some DOGE as well as Satoshis (in a Lightning wallet).
I have a BTC riding the roller coaster magnet on my board and one kid each day (or sometimes during the day) changes its direction based on the price.
Iām just being a good long-term orange-pulling public servant here. Itās a real long game, and each of us must do their part in what way their profession allows.

That sounds great. It would be even better if they concluded themselves, by providing them with information/questions and use cases, that Bitcoin has value and empowers individuals instead of crypto and fiat.

Don't get frustrated. You deliver the pill. In some cases it takes more to take effect than others. Until they are dressed in a coffin they have time for the pill to take effect.

Unfortunately, the legislation in some countries does not allow you to safely use sats to pay for anything within the country. You can only use foreign services that accept payment in BTC. This also complicates orange pilling, although I am trying to educate my environment.

Don't orange pill, just use it. Gigi buys a cup of coffee every day for bitcoin. Soon 100 will be doing it, then 1,000 then 1,000,000 then 1,000,000,000
