What's the typical response you get most of the time when talking about Bitcoin?
Curious but pretty bored by sound money/decentralization/censorship resistance.
it's more difficult for citizens in developed countries like the US, that have all the financial luxuries, to appreciate the importance of these things
During the bull-run up to ATH ... I'd say it was "highly curious". I managed to teach many people about Bitcoin at that time.
Nowadays I'd say it's "skeptical, but still curious". Like I might hear something like, "oh wasn't Bitcoin all a scam?" but when I start explaining they are genuinely curious to hear what I have to say.
People are interested in trading it, i.e. buying to sell, not buying to own. It takes a paradigm shift for the latter, and that can only come with a deep study. That's why they want to buy when it's going up, not when it's cheap. And so their interest peaked when it was 69k. Mine peaked when it dropped to 15k.
If you don't study it, you're other people's fiat exit liquidity.
that's about the same for me
haha ... results are clear .... .however PRICE is the signal .... next bull run things will change
I find it rather difficult to get them to distinguish Bitcoin from crypto / NFTs / etc.
Most people have very short term memory, so all they remember now is that price has gone down heavily. I've talk to people about bitcoin since price was sub 10k and they're still not interested, I don't bring the subject anymore unless they ask me. I guess rektucation will take care of their dismissal, or maybe not.
No one cares I am in my own world out here
perpetual curiosity
Nobody cares. If they do, exposure to the price is the only important thing, so centralized service is the game
