How do you explain Bitcoin to normies? What worked?
Most of us know this "knowledge gap" - were hesitation and bewilderment sets in when we start talking about miners and nodes and limited supply.
I think most of us have learnt this basic lesson: "Concepts are not things that can be changed just by telling facts."
In the end you can't lecture someone into understanding Bitcoin - hence I have big respect for all those Bitcoin doer's like @BTC Sessions
The irony here is that I just post my supplement notes - called field notes - that act as bridges between articles in my Ecology of Bitcoin Series. Hopefully it does not feel like a lecture.

In 28 years, I'd say we've made 3-5% progress—a snail's pace. I hope to back this up with academic-style content exploring the good, bad, and ugly.
Bitcoin has created capacity for a whole new kind of learning experience—not merely degrees of difference. The difference between Education and Marketing is the real acid test—though the line between these worlds is often thin.
IMHO, The modern internet is a grand masquerade where the two entwine like vines in a digital jungle, each claiming to nurture growth while subtly strangling the other's roots.
Regardless, being on Nostr to write this and read others' ideas is a breath of fresh air—I'd estimate an 89.21% reduction in Bitcoin grift compared to X 😇
