I know that you are sincere, so I want to tell you what I appreciated... as a wife. :p This is a cool realization you had and I think it would be great to show her how you use bitcoin naturally in your life. But I hope a larger conversation about bitcoin's significance can be had. Like if you were to ask your wife what she thinks her money will be worth in ten years? If there is something you guys are saving for, ask her how she thinks it would be best to save it? Explain why you think bitcoin is better. Does she think privacy is important? Maybe have that conversation. Because she's your wife, she's doing life with you. I think the more energy you can spend on the grander life choices and why you align with bitcoin ethos on those things, you'll have a much richer dialogue.

My wife is not into bitcoin either….😩

I know there are many kinds of arrangements in a marriage, just wandering if in your case husband and wife are 100 % clear about the situation, because in your post you said: "My wife knows I have Bitcoin" "I have saved since we will be using my money"

Did you get your SATs only using "your" money? Is your money only your? If something happens to you, is she able to access to the funds?

IMO, one way to get her to learn about BTC is with my last question... In case, something happens she needs to know what to do in order to access the funds...

Sorry to touch on this topic, but I think the marriage as a unit, not as two different entities.

Yes. I would say I introduced her to it, rather than "orange-pilled" her. I believe "orange pilling" is a selfish metaphor for something as brilliant as Bitcoin, which has been given freely to everyone. Therefore, I think freedom of choice should be respected when introducing Bitcoin.

When we first met, I was just starting to write a book about Bitcoin jo. It was my peak excitement. And I didn't say a word about money or Bitcoin to her until she brought the topic up on some date. We sat on the park bench and we talked about the fundamentals of money.

Then maybe two months later as I showed her this "Don't Buy Bitcoin. It's Going To Crash!!!" -video as a joke

And after that she was asking where and how to purchase some. Before telling her that I gave her lecture about hodling for long term. Later on I also gave her a lesson about proper self-custody.

Now days she can often explain Bitcoin in more understandable way to many people who ask about it than I can. But to be fair, she has heard more than enough about money, Bitcoin and economics from me ever since she first asked to talk about money 🤠

My wife was very skeptical of bitcoin but then I started sending her money monthly in bitcoin and slowly started teaching her about it. I wouldn’t say she is fully orange pilled but she understands it well enough and the value proposition.

Did you actually talk to her about this plan, or is it all in your mind still? lol

Brilliant, loved how you had the aha moment

Some good points to start with. Based on her response, you'll know how to enlighten her about the "orange pill" benefits!

Based on my experience, she will start to care a lot if you get divorced. So that is probably the best way to orange pill her.

Nice! She is also vested in Bitcoin, as I have been told I speak about Bitcoin everyday. So 1) if you talk about the topics related to everyday life in a way favorable to Bitcoin, she might become pro-bitcoin. Also a big part was to 2) go somewhere accepting Bitcoin, as it shows utility. 3) Avoid talking about anything related to speculation or price (like ETFs for example). Recently a part of the population in Japan (I would say 80%) just received "free" tickets for new vaccines to counter the side effects of Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. A smart use of taxes. So 4) the government might help you in the process, you just have to intercept opportunities on-the-fly. 5) It can be jokes based on fun facts. E.g.: "Did you know that in Weimar Germany, when people were robbed, they had everything stolen but their money was left on the ground? Hahaha"

It might work! My wife loves discounts too.

The first conversation I ever had with my wife was about Atlas Shrugged, so when we found bitcoin, it was more of like going down the rabbit slide than the rabbit hole. We're not objectivists, but the idea of sound money as a libertarian ideal is kind of a 'duh' philosophy in our household.

I think that is a great idea. Some people won't get orange-pilled with words, rather they need to feel or experience it firsthand.

For example, my fiance finally saw the benefit of Bitcoin as we were working down the roads of El Zonte chatting it up with the locals. She saw the culture side and the side for people transmitting value without bank accounts. She would have never gotten it through Youtube videos or traditional forms of education/news.

If your wife doesn’t get angry discussing bitcoin, then go for it!

otherwise, its a lonely time waiting😅
