 I'd been trying for years to orange pill one of the smartest people I know (brilliantly book smart) but I ultimately came to the conclusion you listed above... He truly believes that war is good, inflation is good and censorship is good.  It was at that moment that I gave up talking to him about Bitcoin.

It was a very sad moment for me.

 I tried to orange pill my best friend for years. We talked ours and ours about #bitcoin, inflation, MOE, SOV, sovereign debts, stock market, decentralisation, communism, democracy, capitalism, taxation, wars etc. He listens to me, asks very seldom a question, has no answers for my questions. He doesn't get it. 
I gave up bc I'm starting feeling bad.

 Yes it's sad when you work hard to get someone you love onto the lifeboat but they refuse to recognize that the ship is sinking or that we actually found the lifeboat. 💔
