I rarely nudge people, because it simply doesn’t work. People hate being sold ideas, myself included.
If I do decide to suggest anything to those close to me, it recently has been to find a reason or direct experience that might cultivate curiosity about ‘what is money’.
Everyone that puts in the time (100-1000hrs) and discovers the history of money and how our current monetary system works ends up in the exact same place.
From my own direct experience and interactions, individuals with the majority of their net worth held in bitcoin is dominated by some of the most intelligent and curious people on the planet. Full stop. That’s the common denominator (mainly the curiosity part).
Granted, the USD is by far the cleanest shirt in the fiat currency hamper so the base curiosity level in our country is quite low.
Once you discover this on your own, the ‘everyone buys bitcoin at the price they deserve’ meme begins to make sense.
