BTC Evangelist Support Thread
26 sats \ 21 comments \ @weatherall 29 Sep 2022 bitcoin
Is there anyone close to you, whom you, in Good Faith, Compassion, and Service to the Watchtower , have tried to inform about the virtues and necessity of BTC in this rapidly disintegrating social "order" ?
Have they responded like a Pleb Slave ?
How have you dealt ?
In my own case , I have hit the wall and had enough of the disrespect and the willful ignorance combined with arrogance... Personally , I am done with this ... they can burn...
Anyone else having these issues with family members , friends ?

If you're willing to feel this way about them for not accepting your sales pitch, I question how much you care about actually helping them.
Only a small percentage of people are willing to acknowledge things will/could go wrong in the future. For most people, who live moment to moment, paycheck to paycheck, it's too much to consider. They can't afford foresight.
If you care about these people, prepare yourself to help them when they are ready to accept your help.

Agreed, I'd just politely and quietly set aside a small stack for them. Save the keys and give it to them on the day they are ready/ ask about it themselves

But is it a sales pitch ? maybe you are in marketing or something ?
I was looking for a bit more of a philosophical analysis ... I think we are not in agreement about the problem ...
Why do our families no longer trust each other more than the mainstream media , big pharma , or the other corrupt industries and their propaganda ?
Until you get to the bottom of THOSE type of issues , BTC is just a band-aid on the terminal wound...
Should men have to debase themselves into Dale Carnegie salesmanship strategies with their closest friends and family ? Or can we simply convey the facts ? As far as I am concerned , I'll give you the facts but I am not here to package them into a strawberry McMuffin with whipped cream on top because you failed to deal with your distended ego for the last 50 years ...
My intention is dutiful and thats about it .

perhaps you don't get it - I would just think that the talking monkey who posts something called the Daily "Discussion" Thread would have something more discussion-lke to posit , rather than cutty one-liners designed to pull the rug out from under the discussion...
thats all

I mean you're right, I didn't get that out of your comment.
He's just having fun right? However, he could have taken that feed back without you being so mean.
You don't act mean like this when you're trying to tell your family about Bitcoin do you?

My method is simple : First , I kidnap the mark . Taken to a remote location they are bagged and dosed with 500 mics of some leftover Kansas Missile Silo LSD ...
Arriving at the undisclosed location , mark is locked in a 4x4x6 underground chamber .
There is no food and minimal water provided . Psychotropic cocktail alternates daily from LSD to Magic Mushrooms ...
There is a screen on the wall which plays the entire Murdoch Murdoch series on REPEAT , as well as an audio feed into the room that reads text from the books The Anti-Humans about Pitesti Prison and also Easy Meat by P. McGloughlin...
They must also get to know the Anti-Suffragist Queens of the late 19th Century , as well as familiarize themselves with the virtues of slavery and organized religion... for nothing else than one needs to understand the problem FULLY in order that they may reject it with dignity and integrity rather than simply pins and lawn signs designed by their "liberated" mom's library clubs , posts on decentralized reddits or whatever else .
Is that mean ?

Ultimately, I think Bitcoin is one of those things where if you need it, you know you need it. If they don't have a problem with the current twisted financial system, that's on them.
Basically, if you aren't telling them this information will a placid face like this:

You're probably not going to get through and even then.

Ignorance is bliss! I wonder if there is a study to be made on whether bitcoiners are more depressed on average than those unaware to bitcoin's existence. Because to know and understand bitcoin is to know the problem it is fixing.
Often, I see studies about vegans being more depressed than meat-eaters, which I think might have something to do with vegans being more aware of the malpractices of the global factory-meat industry.
