I'm starting to think that orange pilling big name Muslims and institutions is probably not the way forward. I used to always get excited at the opportunity to orange pill a sheikh or community leader, but after many attempts at this, it doesn't seem to go anywhere. Like, they appear to "get" the general idea of what we're trying to say about Bitcoin, but it doesn't interest them enough to take any action, or even read a single book or listen to a podcast about it. I'm always left disheartened, like I've just wasted my time. And I've noticed that a lot of other Muslim Bitcoiners still haven't arrived at this realization, and they keep trying to have audiences with these big name Muslims, and it becomes increasingly hard for me to get excited about these opportunities anymore. I'd much rather build a network of "no name" Muslim Bitcoiners here on Nostr, as a base to work from. The interactions I have here are a lot more meaningful, and way more fun, than trying to do a 5 minute sales pitch to Sami Hamdi or Yasir Qadhi.
