You're completely right about the UX needing to improve before mass adoption.
However, I think you're completely wrong about orange pilling being having run its course. It's easy to lose sight of how early we are and how successful orange pilling has been when you don't put it in the context of other technology adoption rates.
From the data I've seen, Bitcoin has one of the steepest adoption curves ever. People are figuring the how, because they learned the why. That will run it's course at some point, but there are still a lot of people who will be receptive to an orange pill even if the UX is still a bit underdeveloped.
The other thing is that some people, like myself, have basically no ability to improve the UX. We can still talk to people about the benefits of bitcoin, though, and maybe generate some new interest.
Let a thousand flowers bloom, as they say.

I do get discouraged orange pilling people. Many times it is just an uphill battle.

Your telling TheWildHustle.
Was recently trying to orange pill TheSister, Hustle was on his hands and knees begging her to take his corn, but in the end, was thrown "Oh yeah, well what if they cut off the internet".
Was recently trying to orange pill TheFather, Hustle watched as the light left his eyes and a snore escaped his mouth.
Early on Hustle was going door to door to spread the good word.

You have to pick your battles. No matte what, it is hard. People know about bitcoin, they hear it on the news all the time.

Was trying to orange pill a normie and they told me "Bitcoin is money for pedophiles"
Mainstream media is really helping Hustle's stacking goals.
Thanks Rachel Maddow.

When are people going to open their eyes? I feel this generation is just putting their head in the sand.

Im sure it has happened to everyone before. I do orange pill people who are interested in learning about bitcoin, but I dont like trying to convert people to bitcoin who dont show any interest. To me, it just isnt worth it. I dont have to push my ideals onto someone else.
