 When I was newish to Bitcoin I was so motivated to orange pill everyone, now I truly dgaf, I truly mean it now, just hfsp if you don't get it  
 Have fun sucking peepee? 
 Push vs pull marketing. 
 I just let my close friends and family know that I am a bitcoiner. And tell them if you ever try to get bitcoin, talk to me first. Dont get scammed. 
 Even then they think you're retarded. My normie friends all think bitcoin is a scam, meanwhile their cuckoldollars are being debased and purchasing power deminished as printers go brrrrr 😵‍💫 
 It’s possible that some people will never get it.  For example, I will probably never learn to code, despite having made a few half-assed attempts. My brain just doesn’t work that way and I’ve got other things that I need to focus on, despite relying on software (and hardware) that other people build. 

Money is the same way.  Some people just don’t think about it, and that’s mostly to their detriment. 

Best we can do is let people know that we think about it A LOT and believe ₿ is a solution to fix a broken system. Just be there for your normie friends without judging them for their ignorance. Obviously this is hard to do when they have a deeply negative and misinformed perception about it, or conflate it with “crypto,” but just try to be patient. 
 At this point it's pure ignorance

 We all get to that point. 

Now I just build and work for the coin. I'll show them results instead of preaching.

 Anyone who has tried repeatedly to onboard friends and family only to see them ignore you, get scared and sell the bottom, fall for obvious scams, or go balls-deep in shitcoins inevitably comes to this conclusion.

 I usually recommend people to buy a small amount and slowly DCA in as a way to avoid this kind of stuff. So far they've all listened sort of. They actually don't get the DCA strategy and instead buy $500 bucks worth and just leave it there I assume cos they don't actually understand it enough to commit more but hey they gotta start someplace. 
 Can confirm, this feeling is very real 
 Everybody bitcoiner on nostr 😂 
 Same here, I don’t orange pill anyone unless they actively come out and straight up ask me questions about it 
 if you don't get it, I don't have time to explain it to you. byeee

 Yup. 100%. I got a few but if you've talked to me about Bitcoin IRL for hours and still don't get it, too bad. 
 You are in an echo chamber, no need
