Have you orange pilled your barber or stylist yet? If not, here's why you should: 1. They are connectors who talk to every type of person in every industry and community group. 2. They have a high trust relationship with their clients. 3. They have a consistent and interruption free environment to talk with their clients in. If you get your barber/stylist to accept #Bitcoin payments, I will send you a free Bitcoin logo cape to give them as a thank you to help them in their orange pilling efforts (proof of work below). Thank you to @Born To Be Free and others who have already sent my pics of their capes! image And if you have already convinced your barber/stylist to accept bitcoin, send me your proof of work and I'll send you a free cape right away (those outside the US will need to cover shipping). If you want to learn more about how barbers/stylists can be a force multiplier for Bitcoin adoption, check out the article I wrote for @npub1t8a7...56yu. Also available as a Bitcoin Audible episode (h/t @npub1h8nk...rpev!) on @Fountain.

Who in your professional network can you orange pill that has the greatest potential to introduce others to #Bitcoin? It likely isn't your lawyer, your doctor, or your accountant. It's your barber or stylist. Why? 🧵👇 1. Time . You spend 20 minutes to 2 hours in your barber's or stylist's chair, and so does every one of their hundreds of other clients. And you do it every 4-6 weeks. That rarely happens with other professionals you interact with. image 2. Topic. When you visit any other professional, the topic tends to be chosen already (taxes, health issues, etc.). When you visit your barber or stylist you can talk about anything, and they can talk about anything with their other clients. image 3. Trust. You likely trust your barber or stylist more than anyone else in your professional world, and their other clients do as well. They will listen to you when you talk about #Bitcoin, and their other clients will listen to them. image Now that we know who and why, exactly how should you best approach talking about #Bitcoin with your barber or stylist?

View quoted note → But how do we decide who gets to make that decision, or are we just going to go down a road of everyone training their own AI to follow their own individual or in-group morality that is really just a manifestation of their incentives? If the latter, how does that improve our search for truth and avoid just recreating age old fights in a new arena?
