 I've tried to orange pill my father for years.

I bought him #TheBitcoinStandard by Saifedean. He finally read it, after months.

He hated it! He said Saifedean was biased and he didn't factor in all the wealth central banking has brought to our lives. He got really riled up, very much unlike him.

But it also feels like a weight fell from my shoulders. I don't have to try anymore.
