I like the polls too, its interesting to see what other stackers think, and most of the time I dont have a witty or meaningful response to great posts......makes me feel like a real SN participant.....but then again I am pretty lame.......

You aren't any more lame than the rest of us. Communities are about us all being lame in our own ways together.

fine, I just think sincerely Jimmy has so much more to offer, I really just hold him to a higher standard, he brings real good value here sometimes, like the time he helped that girl with the technical know how, of early era wallets etc

if Jeff Booth, Saifedean, Preston, Lyn etc started blasting the world with useless (in my mind) polls, I would lose some respect for them also

Jimmy has done so much for the space, workshops, debates, books, conference talks, going to congress if I'm not mistaken. and more. Legit super high quality work!

I know Jimmy is your friend @k00b, and you want to make him feel welcome here as you do with everyone, and I am aligned with that mostly

Enjoy the polls people! I just don't see the point of people like Jimmy mass mailing his polls to the world each week.

The breakdown was basically what I was expecting with right libertarians right near the top. I've found that I've definitely gotten more libertarian after becoming a bitcoin maxi.

The ease of "Orange Pilling" someone can vary depending on their existing beliefs, interests, and financial situation. Here are some groups of people in the U.S. who might be more receptive to Bitcoin; regardless of their political stance:

Tech Enthusiasts: People who already have an interest in technology may be more open to understanding Bitcoin's underlying blockchain technology and its potential applications.
Investors: Those with an investment mindset might be attracted to Bitcoin as a store of value or a hedge against inflation, especially given Bitcoin's history of significant price appreciation.
Financially Savvy Individuals: People who are knowledgeable about economics and finance may appreciate Bitcoin's scarcity, decentralization, and its potential to disrupt traditional financial systems.
Libertarians: Individuals with libertarian or anti-authoritarian leanings may be drawn to Bitcoin's principles of decentralization and censorship resistance, seeing it as a way to challenge centralized authority.
Entrepreneurs: Business-minded individuals may see opportunities in the growing Bitcoin and cryptocurrency ecosystem, such as creating or investing in Bitcoin-related startups.
Younger Generations: Younger people who are digitally native may be more open to adopting new technologies like Bitcoin, especially as they become increasingly financially independent.
Skeptics of Traditional Finance: Those who have lost trust in traditional financial systems due to economic crises, bank bailouts, or distrust of central banks may be more inclined to explore alternative options like Bitcoin.
Remittance Users: Immigrants or individuals who frequently send remittances to other countries may appreciate Bitcoin's potential for faster and cheaper cross-border transactions.
Privacy Advocates: People concerned about their online privacy may be interested in Bitcoin's pseudonymous nature and its potential for private financial transactions.

40-60% of eligible US citizens don't vote. Most election winners only get 50-60% of the vote. Therefore, the winning candidate only gets 20-36% of the absolute vote from eligible citizens.
