*Main/side quests*
I had a short conversation here with a guy that introduced himself on Nostr and tried it out for a few days. He already left.
He wasn't stupid but obviously very ignorant on the topic of money.
We had a conversation and the topic became "helping people". I kept trying to make my point that I'm trying to help out EVERY single individual by advocating for hard money, but I think his negative worldview wouldn't even let him entertain the possibility that this is something that would save the world.
Nor did he seem to believe my intentions.
So he kept saying the same, about wanting to give "free" meals to those in need, and helping out his community.
So he's not a bad dude per se, his focus is just too narrow. This made me think of a concept in gaming: The main quest and sidequests.
Sidequests usually are insignificant and even though it's admirable that you want to help people in your community, you're helping just that person, or maybe a few, survive for one day longer. Not attempting to look for more productive ways to increase your aid to others is known as short time preference behaviour.
I'm afraid many people forever stay stuck in an endless cycle of sidequests, without ever attempting the main quest.
The main quest is usually about saving the entire world, which includes EVERY living creature. This is why bitcoin is the main quest, which I tried to explain to him.
Sidenote: trying to orange pill one person is trying to help only one individual indeed, but it may spread to others and thus is linked to the main quest 😁

quoting nevent1q…qep3The biggest cause of unnecessary suffering in this era is due to bad money. Despite how much more productive humanity has become compared to 50 years ago, our progress has not reflected in this dysfunctional economy. A good economy increases both the quality and quantity of time of each individual during their life. The most important benefits from technological advancement have been mostly negated by the power to print (legal counterfeiting). Humanity's biggest enemies are literally thieves of time.
Not to mention printing and plundering from their own citizens is the only way they can fund their warfare.
That's why Bitcoin is the baseline to begin undoing all unnecessary suffering.
I think a more accurate version of "Bitcoin fixes this" is "Nothing can truly be fixed until the money is fixed".
