After years of trying to orange pill my engineer brother-in-law, I actually succeeded today - without trying. We were on a long journey and hike (the fan dance, check it out) and got to talking about money and the different schools of economics. He was asking about gold and I explained how it became money and it's flaws as a medium of exchange that led to its centralisation. He started asking about Bitcoin again and I ended up explaining how fiat money was lent into a existence with interest charged on top that also didn't exist, and that the system had to continue to expand in order not to collapse. Against the backdrop of something truly scarce, he finally had his eureka moment. I didn't have to fight him or convince him, he just came to the same conclusion in his own time. He asked all the right questions about security, the legitimacy of threats to ban it, cold storage, mining and even inheritance. It's been a great day that has renewed my optimism that people will find it when they're ready. There's value in being the person they can come to to ask the questions.
