 🟣HOW I ORANGE-PILL BARBERS:

🔸 Fee: $25. I hand him $20 and say, “I don’t have the right change, but I can pay you $10 in #Bitcoin. It’s fast, easy, and way better than cash.”
🔸 He looks hesitant. I reassure him:
	•	“You don’t need an ID, a picture, or anything complicated. Give me 2 minutes, and I’ll show you.”
🔸 I guide him to download BlueWallet, Aqua, or Blink.
	•	1 minute later, the app is ready. I send the payment and explain what’s happening as the Bitcoin lands in his wallet.

By now, he’s curious. “What else can I do with this?”
	•	I explain the seed phrase, custody, and how he can attract more customers.
	•	“Bitcoiners will love paying you directly.”

Then it happens:
🔸 Half the time, he notices the Lightning icon. I grab my phone, send him an instant tip on Lightning, and his face lights up when he sees how fast it is.

Suddenly, the conversation shifts. He’s asking more questions, excited to learn.

Every barber, every chance, every conversation—it matters.

NEVER STOP ORANGE-PILLING. NEVER STOP TRYING.
