Do you run a "LN bank - uncle Jim" for your family and/or friends or known people that cannot run their own node?

Nope, but almost nobody in my group of meatspace friends / family uses bitcoin or lightning. I gave up proselytizing it to them many years ago.

I was about ready to give up on friends and family orange pilling until I found Sats VS Fiat. Joe Bryan put together a really good video here: https://www.satsvsfiat.com/

I showed it to my mom and after watching it I think she got it. She said "On the Brady Bunch they had 6 kids and a maid on 1 salary. Can't do that anymore with Fiatellos""

That's very interesting... makes me feel better. Pretty much the same for me. I'm the weirdo and I embrace it.

There's more to it, from a privacy and opsec point of view, the more you talk about something it becomes more likely that will be heard or shared with others outside the group and potentially lead to physical vulnerability.

For sure. I rarely talk about bitcoin.
