Update: My friend bought fucking XRP 🤣. I tried to explain that it’s a scam and sent some podcast clips that talk about it. I sent him the ones that helped me sell my shitcoins in 2022 but he said he wants something more recent lmao. You can’t make this shit up. His plan is to make bigger gains with XRP and then take those earnings and buy bitcoin. The belief that you missed the boat is very expensive. Should I send him this video?😂 View quoted note →

You’re totally right. I’m just curious how this is going to turn out. If/when bitcoin tanks because that’s usually what it does during bear markets, will he actually buy? Something tells me that he won’t.
As a "professional" orange piller I'd say most people start first buy at all time highs. But I think in your situation his ego isn't letting him accept that you, his friend, figured this out before him. We face this a lot and all we can do is be humble and explain that we're studying it closely to grow our conviction and also help them learn. Also as Bitcoin changes your life they'll pick up that they're really missing out on something great. We gotta live the change we want them to envision!
Correct. I think his ego is the problem. All I could think after seeing his responses was that he needs to stay humble.
He wanted newer content that talks about how shitcoins are a scam. It’s as if he thinks something about the shitcoin may have changed to not make it a scam anymore lol

still trying to get my sats off alby. put out an asknostr to see is someone could use there LN node to sweep them off
He bought it at the absolute worst time too. I noticed that every time XRP gets around this price ripple will shit a bunch more, which drives the price back down. I've been trying to convince someone to dump their xrp everytime it goes to $5(Australian) I explained that no bank will adopt it because any bank could literally just make their own version. But then I seen where he gets his information... A self described physic, who reads tarot cards, and claims to have no experience trading and no knowledge of crypto currency or stocks. That was it for me, I gave up. Some people need to learn the hard way.
I ain’t even mad tbh. That belief helps them sleep at night. MFs that need bitcoin it’s cuz they seen some shit, they been through some shit these well to do MFs can’t see it even it smacked em upside their heads. What we should be doing is not waste time schooling them. There’s a lot of youth going through what we went through and their brains are like sponges. They get bitcoin.
Good point but most of the people I try to orange pill need it bad and still ignore it. It’s like they have such little money to invest that they want to save it for trivial things like sporting events or video games

Or even worse, weight loss drugs. Those are becoming pretty popular, at least, around where I live.
You need to connect your own wallet to your Alby Account and take custody of funds that belong to you. It works best with Alby Hub, which is free and open-source software. You can run it on your own device. No subscription needed. Obviously Alby Cloud is the fastest and easiest option. You can contact us anytime at support.getalby.com
I've managed to get one friend off coinbase and Exodus into a cold wallet and eventually to spin up acore node and private lightning channel to an lsp. The other. Is going something like this. 😅🤷👍

It’s been 3 months since the last update on my friend: $80k is the price he wanted bitcoin but since it was “too late,” it was $120k+ at the time, he bought XRP instead. He wanted to make a quick profit and then use it to buy more bitcoin. Genius plan that no one ever thought about before 🤣 Well it’s at $80k now so I thought I’d ask if he bought any. His response: I have different plans. You can’t orange pill anyone. View quoted note →
I don't try to convince anyone to buy Bitcoin. I try to convince people to study Bitcoin. It's a harder sell but when they do it they're less likely to buy shitcoins or sell over stupid shit. Or be mad at me for 'making them lose money.'
Yeah I should’ve stopped wasting my time when he wouldn’t spend an hour to listen to a single podcast. Too much brainrot for him to spend time learning something that could save his life.
