 Just talked to a normie colleague.
He startes talking about #Bitcoin . He startes telling me how stupid those people are, believing in such a shitty illusion.
He told me #BTC was a speculation bubble, is worth nothing, you can't touch it. 
I tried to explain him the fiat scam amd the evil of the keynesian ideology.
He thought about buying some at 1 #BTC for 1$, he did not do it, but if he had he would be rich by now. 
I told him it's impossible to hodl something without understanding what it is, it would be just speculation.
He added he would kill his son if he ever bought #BTC .

Nothing i tried to explain him reached his brain
 I lost my time. Never doing it again.
#Plebs , we are fucking early. Stack your Sats, don't sell your #Bitcoin for fiat, don't try to talk to normies about reality, those MoFos are trapped in the matrix, everybody needs time, some people never make it and stay trapped in the matrix because they are affrayed of the reality. 
Realizing you lost such a big amount of your life getting rewarded in fiat, which is produced out of thin air, is horrible. Normies get rewarded for their hard work and time with pieces of paper. Their time and their hard work is worth zero. Accepting this is the hardest part. Some of them just don't want to wake up. If you try to wake them up, they will try to shut you up and bring them backnto the matrix with them. They don't want to resit. They don't want you to resist.
Fuck them.

 I hope you said HFSP and GFY 😊 
 I can't, i have to work with this narrow-minded dick for at least one year from now. It's my new partner. Fuck. 
 Just throw the acronyms his way knowing that he wont get them. Childish? Maybe. Satisfying? No doubt! 😂  
 I thought about this a lot.
I have to understand that i can't wake everybody up, for many people it's too early, bunch of them will never wake up.
I have to be able to ignore idiots when they talk shit about a topic they know nothing about, and everything they think they know, they got it instillated in their brains by the mainstream agenda and the keynesian propaganda.
This ia freaking sick. 
 Well put. I’ve had similar experiences with a large number of colleagues.  I’m convinced they are missing the point. 
 It's too comfortable to stay in the matrix and ignore that all they think they know and control about money is a fucking illusion.
Cypher's scene eating the steak with Agent Smith is the best illustration of the problem 
 One of the signs that you’ve been in Bitcoin for a while is when you stop telling normies about bitcoin. The Bitcoin price will bring new people in. 
 I tried to correct the bullshit he was saying, for the future, i will try to shut up and avoid the topic with normies 
 What helps me avoid it is acknowledging that people have to learn it for themselves. I can only point them in the right direction. You can lead a horse to water but can’t make it drink. 
 I never stop. I just can't shut up about it. 
 I just followed you, you fucking legend
