Plebs must do it for themselves. There are people dismissing Bitcoin in the poor class, in the middle class and the upper class. There are people gambling in all classes and there are people learning and applying themselves in all too. Bitcoin isn't a get rich quick scheme, unfortunately that is what it will seem like to everyone else but the studies will get it. Bitcoin incentivises you to learn how to live beneath your means, improve your situation, it motivates you to save. It does this because you finally have access to something you can save in, that isn't guarded by red tape requiring you to have a stable salary, that has a logical reason to keep its value and you understand why your money today sucks. The wealthy will get more wealthy, but the poor can lift themselves past those who gamble and ignore.

This is the same for everything. If there are no schools near or accepting, how can this person expect to educate their child. Opportunities must arrise and people must take those opportunities. You don't know what you don't know so it is indeed hard for people with limited access to knowledge and resources to progress. Some will never see opportunity, which is unfortunate and some will never take opportunity, but it doesn't mean bitcoin is not for them. Even without them discovering bitcoin, the economy will get better as more people invest in and then use bitcoin, as they deprogram themselves from the free money ideologies they have and as people become more charitable because of it. Time is a silent killer for people today, but over time, the benefits outweigh the individual benefits.

I think we have a path ..beyond "let people do self discovery" .. or "let time play its hand .." #nostr .. People without power , electricity and even water .. do have a smart phone :-) .. and we can zap them if only they get on #nostr

You don't have to buy 1 Bitcoin. 1 USD can buy 1157 sats. There are only 21 million Bitcoins. No more. You can have 1 sat as long as you want, if your financial situation allows. Don't forget 1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 sats #Bitcoin

If you ask ten people on the street of San Francisco , 9 will tell you that bitcoin is somthing that you buy at coinbase or cash app ... and it is super super expensive ... probably 1 will admit they know LIGHTNING and sats .. And that is if you are lucky ... This is the most tech savvy city .. imagine the third world .. #bitcoin education must stop talking about #bitcoin and start talking about the real unit #sat .. and the best way to spread that is #nostr .. Frankly , without nostr , there is zero hope of bitcoin general adoption ...

I have Zapped users from more than 40 countries on Nostr. They are from North America, Latin America, Asia, Europe, Africa. Including Nostr users from India. We still have a lot of work to build. This is just the beginning. We are lucky to have joined early.
