 Empathise with noobs

Here’s is something I either get told nobody is interested or don’t want to hear

2023

Opened lightning economy between USA and Europe of 5000 member organisations that only use Bitcoin and tether (from Australia) all new or never been bitcoiners

I work with the Perth Heat and push their Bitcoin baseball programs to new people never been in bitcoin… they have a stasforstats program that gives away Bitcoin to new bitcoiners

In Adelaide alone I’ve put 27 businesses to accept Bitcoin via Lightning as well as my own business has accepted Bitcoin payments since 2017 and had 7 regular weekly payers and another 8 monthly payers

I show people this…. And all I cop is no one is interested in integration or people don’t want to part with Bitcoin “from the presenters of these conferences”

Literally… nobody gives a shit 

That 5000 crew took 20 minutes to have them all transacting….

No videos
No conference 

Literally showed them how to use Strike and boom… 

People are smarter than you give them credit for, maybe stop treating everyone like an idiot… because they aren’t… they’re literally interested in Bitcoin but get confused with all the content

Maybe orange pill someone… you’ll learn this 
 Thank you for spreading Bitcoin education, it sounds like you're good at it. Still, not everyone is ready for that level of participation. The majority of people are still convinced Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme that's boiling the oceans. You have to get past those hurdles (and a lot more) before you can be open to the practical applications. Both types of education are still necessary.  
 Do yourself a huge biggie

Head on down your local shop and suggest they accept Bitcoin… I guarantee u you’ll be surprised they’ll be infinitely curious

My strike rate on pilling since I went just on offering or direct is near 100%

I think you’ll not only spend some good orange… but utilise your precious time in Bitcoin with winning

Do yourself another favour… sounds like you’ve heard enough about Bitcoin… you seem like Orange pill good guy

Go do some real bitcoining with good people… sure point people at the conferences if you like… start taking the next step

Lead some people… Trust me 🤝 
 I like your style and what you're saying!
99% of bitcoiners are comfortably lurking on social media and podcasts. Consuming endless amounts of Bitcoin porn in their cushy bubble. Myself included.
So your call to action is appreciated. I'll see what I can do. 
 Let me know if u need a hand with custody options / wallets etc 🤝 
 This is appealing.

Can you please list the specific tools and resources you use to orange pill businesses and individuals? 🙏😃

I'd love to see a local circular economy take off. 
 It’s all in the post
