I go back and forth on this but if I’m being honest it does bum me out that I can’t save people from what’s coming. From what’s already happening. At this point I’ve deployed every psychological tactic I can think of and my effort has been marginal at best.

It's bittersweet. Knowing you might end up using a chunk of your stack to help those you love the most. But humanity will make it out. Just takes time Lots and lots of time.

I've orange pilled nearly every person I know, but have a few tragic hold outs. I really gave it my best. Some people have to learn from their own mistakes. Ultimately we can't save anyone though. Personal development is an inside job.
I've decided that they are so afraid of being wrong that they refuse to actually think about anything just in case.
I find that when I release control things unfold more effortlessly… something I’m working on and far from perfect at
I feel like people want to replicate the past success they were handed down without accepting what’s really happening

If you’ve saved one person, you’ve done plenty
Agreed. The conversations have become impossible. I decided to write a book instead (~100 pages). Logic being that if people around me who I care about also see that I was willing to put the effort in to write a book they'll at least maybe go through the few hours it takes to read it. This will be available on amazon within a few days btw. Going to share it here when it is ready to go. image

I hear you. It’s tough watching people walk into the storm, but your efforts aren’t wasted, even if just a few listen, that ripple can mean everything.
You have brought positive influence and leadership to arguably the largest number of people in the space. The thing is, people have to show up of their own volition for this level of message. Very similar to my experience with meditation and buddhism (lowercase b). If the recipient isn’t prepared to hear the message, it’s futile to encourage or persuade them to listen.

Your effort has been tremendous. It’s demoralizing and I’ve given up 😭 With only a fraction of time trying to orange pill people.
The way I cope with this is to imagine that the population will actually prefer life after reset where there are clear rules and compliers can just comply in peace, returning to the templated NPC world. They don't want to be saved, and they will probably try and prevent you from exiting, even try and destroy you, when the time comes. #Bitcoin View quoted note →
You can't save everyone and that's not on you. If you have saved even one person then you've done good and that is on you. It's still a bummer though.
Well, one of the problems is that a lot of Bitcoiners (not all and not naming names) act like cultists. That doesn't help matters. If people see Bitcoin as a doomsday cult, they're going to avoid it like the plague.
it’s crazy when you can see what’s coming. and you say something. and you’re ignored. and then it happens to them….
Once people start experiencing pain, they will be forced to change and seek alternatives. Whether its slow or fast, none of our concern. Its in Gods hands now

We all know what you mean. It was crazy racist tinfoil hat to discuss the origins of COVID until John Stewart made it okay. He is funny, but if you made the same joke you'd be dismissed and shunned. 20% can't be gas lit and another 20% can't NOT be gas lit. That leaves a big swath of people that are open to honest inquiry. The challenge is not devolving every conversation into "your political solutions are invalid because you don't start with the understanding that our money is fake." At least that's where I always get it wrong. It's hard not to beat people over the head with this concept.

One of the hardest things to learn about Bitcoin is that most people don’t want to find a way out. They want to be coddled by bureaucratic Karen’s and be taken care of by daddy government. No matter the cost.

You helped me good sir. But it seems that most people need significant pain and suffering before they recognise a problem.
most still think the next election is critical to sort it out, which is what they thought about the last election. In that context, most right-wingers are left wingers without knowing it.

Sadly some people just have to get properly f****d to snap out of it. As horribly insane as covid was in my country, the upside is it destroyed my midcurve normie mindset. Got into BTC, got some guns, went carnivore.
I think you can only save those closest to you, your family, say, those who are immediately impacted by your decision to save yourself. Everyone else can merely be educated but they have to make their own decisions. That's the trouble with freedom, at the very least, everyone is free to stay unfree.
My best friend will not talk to me about bitcoin. He has “done well with his portfolio so far” but that doesn’t count inflation. He finally admitted to me tonight that bitcoin has gone really well with the small amount that he has so that’s a start. You can only say what you have to say after that it’s up to them. Thank you HODL, for what you do on nostr. Yes, it sometimes feels futile. We are in the same boat as you and they’re sinking in their boat. it’s crazy. We are trying to help you! image

We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars. With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food. We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper. Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits. Why Azerbaijan? Because animal farming makes a lot of money there, but few people do it. That’s why we will earn more by starting in Azerbaijan. Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price. Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits. The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income. Your profit: You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars. Your earnings will be great. When 22.03.2026 comes, you will get your money back as 953.00 US dollars. You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars. When 22.03.2026 comes, I will give you back your money in the amount of 953,000 US dollars. That means you will earn 716,000 US dollars profit in just 6 months. If you like this project and want to loan us money, message me on WhatsApp or Telegram for more details. If our project is suitable for you and you would like to lend money to our holding, send a message to my WhatsApp number or Telegram username below and I will give you detailed information.

I think you have saved plenty. It’s just that we’re all strangers to you.
You cant help those who dont want to be helped. You can only set the conditions in order for them to take it if they want it. Gift and a curse my friend 🫂

You have done an amazong job so far, and if not introduced as many as you’d like, atleast made the path for those already here clearer! And remember what you said, you were meant for more. An evertrue fact. There is still infinite paths left⚡️🧡
Yea, will be hard for people when they realize BTC is not freedom money but surveillance gold.
LOOK OUTSIDE BITCH. MASSIVE AND ONGOING DOLLAR DEVALUATION. RIPPLES THROUGH THE EURO DOLLAR SYSTEM. MAKES EVERYONE POORER (US AMERICANS FIRST, EUROPOORS AND REST OF THE WORLD LATER) POVERTY MAKES YOU DO STUPID THINGS FOR PAPER PROMISES LIKE JOINING THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL ADVERTISING PORN COMPLEX, OR DRINK. OR WORSE. YOU´RE A TOTAL PAWN TO THE SYSTEM AND WILL GET SACRIFICED TO THE UNSATIABLE FIAT PRINTING PEDO ELITE

Could not have said it better myself. So many people were told to buy bitcoin when it crashed down to 15-20k. And i’ll tell people again to buy it when it “crashes” down to 100k and when it “crashes” at 500k. You can lead the horse to water but can’t make em drink View quoted note →

I offered a mentor and friend yesterday to buy back his bitcoin in 4 years with 12.5% year over year interest if he would buy 10k cuck bucks worth so he would start researching with an open mind. Said "he'd think about it" Same offer I made my parents in 2021. Luckily they listened and chose to keep their corn. My dad aped into the etf when it came out with almost his entire 401k. Didn't tell my mom about the move until he doubled up. Now has enough to keep the family farm in our family when my grandpa passes away. View quoted note →
You helped save me and I’ll always be grateful. My car is worth less than my monthly DCA.
I'd really love you to come on MY show and talk about this HODL. Already had an A List of Bitcoiners including Preston, Larry, Dr Jeff Ross, Jeff Booth, Nat Brunel and many more, so would love to add your name to the list! Check it out at BitcoinInterviews.com and let me know if you'd be up for it.
yes, and move outside big and dirty cities that are already on the decline
