GM!!!

Last night I had one of my proudest moments as a Bitcoiner… one of my colleagues (who I orange-pilled) was able to orange-pill another physician! The second doc texted me today to get advice. He is ready to dive in and buy ₿ to put into cold storage for long-term savings (he currently holds some on Robinhood).

That's potentially hundreds of millions of sats getting pulled off exchanges in the next few weeks/months🔥

My orange-pilling friend used the same techniques that I used. WoS to show lightning's power and pique some interest. Then some education with a few episodes of WSB by preston (npub1s5y…6q7z)

And wait.

It took a few weeks, but he now understands that Bitcoin is a bearer asset designed to preserve his wealth through time and space, and he’s ready to dive in.

I’ve seen lots of criticism for using custodial lightning to onboard and orange-pill because it introduces risk. And I’m here to tell you, you’re mistaken. Wallet of Satoshi (npub1hcw…h9rq) is just the beginning of a long journey. The education and guidance that follows is what matters, not whether you onboard someone with a custodial Lightning wallet. This doc is now reading the Bitcoin Standard and listening to TheGuySwann (npub1h8n…rpev) . He understands the difference between custodial and non-custodial solutions. He’s avoiding the hard shitcoinery lessons that many of us have experienced, and is on his way to becoming a maxi.

Ultimately, I will help him get to a place where he uses cold storage for long-term savings, non-custodial lightning for some spending money, and a small amount of custodial lightning for now, since it is the best solution to seamlessly onboard, get a lightning address, and use on #Nostr. When non-custodial solutions catch up, I will recommend them.

Please consider sending this newly minted Bitcoiner a few sats and a message to welcome him! I’m going to give him some time to absorb Bitcoin, but will be introducing him to #Nostr soon!
