Unscheduled Orange-pilling.
My friend knew nothing about bitcoin except that it was a "cryptocurrency" that was worth almost $70,000 not too long ago. He and I met just for fun, to talk about different topics. And after a while we started talking about mobile operators and during our conversation I accidentally mentioned bitcoin, telling him that I don't remember the last time I topped up my phone number with a bank card. He was very surprised, what are the alternatives?
I did not hesitate long and told him that he could do it himself literally right now using bitcoin. I asked him to install WoS, sent him a few sats and using Bitrefill he topped up his phone in just a couple of minutes.
You should have seen the look on his face))) There is still so much people don't know, what a wondrous new world lies behind what they avoid or are afraid to find out. Orange-pilling was lucky, because after that he flooded me with questions and requests to send him links to useful materials.
Alas, it does not always work, but it was worth a try. And the main thing is to demonstrate to newbies in practice the possibilities given by Bitcoin, its advantages, but not to fill them with a bunch of theories, which may scare them away in the beginning.
I just wanted to share it with you)
Yes when it is as easy as WoS then people like it. If you started to tell him about installing a node etc, then it would have been a disaster ;)

All right, that's why I left the information for dessert) Especially since a friend has really shown interest and now I'm trying to immerse him in this topic in more detail.

Yes! Experience first, information later

I agree. It works.

Thank you for sharing, WOS and bitrefill both are centralised. so for newbies centralised apps will be more convenient and easy to orange pill. instead of non-custodial wallet with deep details of keeping recovery seeds words safety...

Great work and congrats onboarding +1 into Bitcoin. WoS+Bitrefill look's like a great combination of tools to showcase and demonstrate the utility and practice the possibilities that Bitcoin allow us.
Anyone else has any other combination of tools that used to orange pill a newbie?
reply
Yeah, I think your approach is better than mine. Even people who are genuinely curious and open-minded have their eyes glazed over by the time I explain what a hash is..
