💯 Orange pilling doesn't happen overnight, and certainly not if you try to force it down their throats!
Yesterday a friend of mine who I hadn't seen in a while asked me how my "Crypto thesis" was going. I said I'm not writing a crypto thesis I'm writing a Bitcoin book.
I explained the difference between the two and she agreed with the premise that the overwhelming majority of cryptocurrency projects are scams, which I explained are just copies of Bitcoin which alone is not controlled by anyone.
She also commented to make sure I write about the ecological effects of Bitcoin. I replied "oh for sure! It's great! There's nothing better for the environment than Bitcoin mining" she looked like I was crazy lol.
I'm not going to be obnoxious about it, because they really have no idea and no desire to know more. They'll learn eventually though.
I did get another friend to actually engage with me for 2 hours last week and he said what I said makes a lot of sense, so I think I'm close to orange pilling him. 😀
I'm patient though, best thing you can do is be patient and confident and casually speak facts in normal conversation, and they'll come to you over time.
