 Soft War would be a terrible start. It is VERY very heavy going, you expect a no coiner to dive right on in, there😳😂??

 Softwar is a book about power dynamics and how the world really works.. Personally I think if normies give it a real chance it has a high chance of orange pilling them.

The whitepaper is a good starting place just so they can get a basic understanding of proof-of-work.  Softwar assumes you already understand people competing for block rewards.

 While I agree with you in principle, I don't know who you are or what your background is. What I do know, is that of the 8 billion(ish) people on Earth, 90-95% of them are NPC's. That doesn't leave a whole lot of fucking people. I wish EVERYBODY well but sadly, the "Everybody" just don't have the gray matter to make that so🙄🫤.

 I think the big barrier is people having interest.  I earnestly believe the average person can understand it if they try to.  I'm no one special and I don't have a background of higher education or technical work.  I literally drive forklifts and drive for Uber.  I just have an open mind, a curiosity, enjoy reading, and don't ideologically object to the idea of Bitcoin literally being an unprecedented form of war.

 You are actually spot on but there does need to be a "Mass awakening", how he achieve that🤔? I don't know. I'm nobody special either. I have an FLT licence and I used to be in charge of a big Chemical Plant, I retired about 2 months ago at 46 years of age. Fuck. The. System🖕🏻.

 Imagine the adoption we'd see if all the politically disgruntled people in the world woke up and realized Bitcoin isn't magic internet money.. its the weapon they need to wage a successful war against the system that's been fucking them their entire lives.  Alas most people haven't realized they are being fucked yet.

Fuck. The. System indeed. 🦌

 I'm always FUCK. THE. SYSTEM but.....The people who run the system, i.e. the central bankers, they OWN the fucking system, they in turn OWN the politicians. We WILL win, one day. It will be fucking messy though....!!
