If you start to understand Bitcoin you'll never go back and your main mission is to orange pill family and friends as fast as you can. All the stories about upcoming hyperinflation, infinite dollars supply, how cheap sats are, history of Bitcoin, its technical sides don't work. Only math and real cases work.

What do I do?

If people agree to listen to me I tell them about 300k sats every citizen of Earth can have, show them my Wallet of Satoshi with 300+k sats and send them some sats to show how fast it is. When people see that I have 300k some of them change their mind.

My achieves

My siblings considering to acquire their first sats, one day it'll happen I believe. My friends bought their first 160k and 280k sats and hold it on Binance. Some other guys started to ask can they buy part of Bitcoin cause they don't have $36k. etc

What the next?

I should teach my friends and family security and deep dive them to understand Bitcoin. If I suddenly disappear they should know how to find and use my holdings.

p.s. I'm really happy how early we are and how far we will go

Teaching security is huge. I have a growing list of friends or acquaintances who have lost their bitcoin to silliness. Their shortcomings weigh heavily on me unfortunately so I no longer orange pill new people unless they're the ones trying to get information from me. I do however constantly reach out to the people who do own some and make sure they at least have best practices in mind. I like to call them and go through things together like:

sending/receiving/tracking a transaction
practice practice practice recovery options
creating seed phrases

I can't create new bitcoiners if the ones i know are at risk to losing their funds.

We accustomed to trust third parties, with Bitcoin people should change their behavior and be ready to self custody

i really like the 300k sats per citizen ... it really puts equality of wealth distribution into perspective. the tiniest shift in perspective like that can be the catalyst.

Keep grinding. It's actually less than 300k per person. You can also tell them about the ways they can stack sats without having to buy like SN, fountain app, Thndr games, Zebedee. This might be a good starting point for some folks.

Their problem they don't want to study something itself. They daily check their ballance in dollars, think about buying cheap alts, etc

Seems like they hear me but listen to

This is always the case. I spent months orange pilling a close friend of mine and teaching him about Bitcoin. I sent him 100k sats to get him started and he said he is going to DCA $50 into Bitcoin every time he gets paid. Two weeks later when it is time to buy Bitcoin he sends me a message he bought his DCA of bitcoin but should he also buy Dogecoin.

Every damn time.

Every adult man wants to have a dog. When I started on 2017 I did more worse things. I bought Bitcoin and exchanged it to noname alts. That's too expensive lesson to me

Man , what a joke . There is no easy way around this , you either invest the time into understanding the fundementals of why Bitcoin is the hardest money on Earth , or you go the degen route , spend all your money on a ha ha meme coin and then learn it the hard way .

Hey man , I don't know what your situtation is , but get your sats off Binance as quick as you can . You wan't to get yourself a cold-storage wallet like a Coldcard or a Blockstream Jade. I'm not trying to spook you man , but if you have 30,000 sats with a custodian like Binance , then all you really have is a promise. Not your keys , not your coins .
