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.

Don't look up.
Those that see the flood will ask where the ark is. There’s only so much room though.
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.
Being a Bitcoiner is a lonely path.
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.
Keep going, it’s working
I've decided that they are so afraid of being wrong that they refuse to actually think about anything just in case.
Join the CIA > learn their psyop tactics > save the plebs.
It's tiring to orange pill people.for years and years.
I mostly stopped but sometime I go out of my way for young men that crosses my path
Bitcoin is for anyone not everyone
that’s beyond impressive!
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
It’s been a strategic and tactical approach. It has not been marginal. The grind must continue
If you’ve saved one person, you’ve done plenty
Have you tried car models?
Same. I’m done for now. May resume if the outlook becomes more cloudy.
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.


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.
Amen
If you've brought your immediate family with you you already won.
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.

You can’t force people down the rabbit hole. They’ll get it when they’re ready.
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.
You were a big part - mostly appearances with @Peter McCormack and @Danny Knowles around 2020 - in getting me here.
Thank you, good sir.
They will probably ask you for help when SHTF
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.
Modern man still is anxious and tempted to surrender his freedom to dictators of all kinds, or to lose it by transforming himself into a small cog in the machine, well fed, and well clothed, yet not a free man but an automaton — Erich Fromm
You helped me good sir.
But it seems that most people need significant pain and suffering before they recognise a problem.
I have started to use this tactic verbatim.
I wrote a novel l, dystopian fiction, that tackles this exact scenario. what happens when the freedom erosion accelerates... 🫠😵💫
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 feel it too. Woke up this morning in socialist communist Norway. (Election last night)

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!


Why bum out on what you cannot control? Save & deploy wisely ❤️🫡🗽
Not everyone is meant to be saved.


I think you have saved plenty. It’s just that we’re all strangers to you.
How many books have your written and published?
Because books outlast empires.
You can’t save everyone, but you can be ready for the ones who want to listen.

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 🫂
Better to have tried than to have never tried at all brother 🤟🏻🤟🏻👊🏻
so what is coming?
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⚡️🧡
Chaos and renewal
I love it ... So true
Thank you for the zap and responses to my comments.
Yea, will be hard for people when they realize BTC is not freedom money but surveillance gold.
what’s happening ?
delusional disorder would be my guess.
Watch it buuuuurn!!!
Hahaaha
Clean and precise.
"So what's it gonna be grand ma?"
Grandma is a terrorist. Hahshaha

Same here man. But the only way out is through, we will have an easier time going through, but I think it's better for everyone on the other side.
what's the worst thing that is coming that people is not aware of?
😂
This is from one of the people who has done the most to save his fellow man.
We can all aspire to do half as much.

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.

I can sleep easy knowing I tried
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.
Sure let’s do it
So just keep staying humble and stacking sats?
