An Orange Pill 🧡  Story:

Ignoring war or a dismal start to Uptober, I have an interesting tale to tell.

My wife  nostr:npub1p90ddrdr0ss4t2slc9pl8amgt34mq2r9u3r26sumaw5s4k3v0w2qc3mq38 had coffee at a neighbours today. The neighbour is aware I’m in to Bitcoin so asked my wife some questions about it. Luckily my wife is extremely knowledgable and a very eloquent speaker about Bitcoin having listened to me every night go on about it for nearly 4 years.

The neighbour asked:

How can somebody make up a currency and just make money out of thin air. Not even the government can do that.

My wife started to explain that is exactly what governments do, but the neighbour interrupted her to say, “But we have the gold standard?”

Luckily my wife is well versed in history and Bitcoin. The conversation went well. 

However, it blew the neighbours mind and she asked my wife to stop talking because it was too much for her to absorb, while acknowledging that everything was wife was saying was indeed correct. 

She remembered the government printing money during the pandemic and also in 2008 after some prompting.

The pill has been taken, let's see how long before she is fully awake.
