 Although, there has been an interesting phenomenon occurring recently; as much as they still hate listening to me, they do seem more willing to lately. Pretty bloody obvious as to why. 🙄 
 I’ve thankfully gotten most of my real friends and both my siblings to self custody a good amount of Bitcoin (for normies) and I can’t describe the sense of subconscious relief it’s given me. 
 All of my close cousins and a few of my best mates are hodlers. Been so for years. If ya ever tryin' to orange pill someone, explain and demonstrate how the LN operates. That seems to be far more effective than explaining the blockchain 🙄😮‍💨.  
 I typically wait until they complain about inflation or banking and use the  opportunity to elegantly splice in how Bitcoin fixes that.
