 People cling to their reason. And they just want to be right. Be correct. People want to be true.
It's just a big sigh and a openness for love. We all have our own way.

Sometimes I do that in conversations. I just mention bitcoin in a way for opening more questions than to provide answers. When I get the incredulous looks or the arrogant stares I just show both palms of my hands and say something like:
I just told you. Or "do your own research" or "you shall see" or "it's still too early"

Because I realised whenever people wanted to speak about Bitcoin they wanted it just to make a noisy conversation and get a battlefield of ideas in labyrinth. Not to gain any clarity but to see where is the weak point of your pitch.

Most people don't even comprehend the basics of what money is. So we couldn't even possibly begin the orange pilling in the first place. And there is those kinds of people who think they know all about money because they "have" some. I had some conversations with a banker... Even harder:
+Works in the industry (so the conversation jeopardize status quo)
+Thinks knows better than anyone 
 +"Is" (somekindof) "rich"
+She doesn't know what money is in the first place.

The only possible option to me is to somehow plant a seed.
As an old crazy wise man said once: "plant an anarchist mind bomb"
Someday we can only hope it just blows . Or grows.
We can only hope for it to not be defused.
