 people in most western countries don't give a shit because they either store their value in other things, like stock market, real estate etc and they don't understand what fiat money is.

then they might be scared by triggering taxable events.

finally, they have debit and credit cards that work fine.

people in the 3rd world beaches and villages don't have any lifeline or access to sophisticated trading and their governments are completely untrustworthy.

to me , it's more compelling to see how BTC is making a difference there then watching some already rich programmer hodl or a boomer allocate some BTC to his portfolio via an etf

it will take a long time before the average person in a Western country realises that their currencies are the shit coins 
 I dont care about those richy rich with 800 credit scores. Im talking the Americans that live in the ghetto where rich people are scared to go too i also dont care to orange pill older people im target are 20 year olds and 17 years olds from the ghetto. Maybe hopefully i can start something like a whole bitcoin education center right in Dorchester Massachusetts or Roxbury or lynn Massachusetts tgese are ghetto neighborhoods
