 I hit a wall talking to some people irl. Anytime I start talking talking about Freedom, self sovereign money it's immediately like I'm speaking a different language and the person is like "so you're saying I should go 100x long now?"

I have no idea how to bridge that gap

 It doesn’t always work, but something new you could try is: have them name 1-3 causes, problems, etc that they care about and tell them, before they name them, that you’ll quickly explain how Bitcoin fixes them. It helps if Bitcoin solves a problem for them. Either something tangible in their life, like being debanked, censored, etc. Or some abstract cause they care about.
