 You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

While I think Francis may be right in some respects, I’m actually finding that going toward the consciousness awakening aspects of bitcoin seems to be shocking people to attention. 

It’s not about the money, but about power. When you can show people how fiat in whatever form is used to control people in a variety of ways, they start to wake up to what’s really happening. When you can then connect that to how Bitcoin is a tool of self-empowerment and a counter to fiat as a power; that seems to start to wake people up.

However me stating all of this is some white man’s burden kinda shit, frankly I don’t know the culture or struggle in Africa, so I can’t really say. I’ve just found this is my most recent path towards success with orangepilling folks.
