MachuPikacchu on Nostr: All of my interests aligned perfectly in Bitcoin and yet despite a friend pushing it ...
All of my interests aligned perfectly in Bitcoin and yet despite a friend pushing it on me in 2011 and being open minded I ignored it for years because it was effectively pitched as complicated money.
I’ve been a “saver” since I was at least 10 years old. I got interested in the stock market as a teenager and read books like the intelligent investor and other classics.
In college I formally studied mathematics but I also took many classes in physics and economics out of interest. I read physics books in my spare time (textbooks and pop sci books alike). Eventually I became a software engineer. Bitcoin touches each of those fields in a fundamental way. It should’ve clicked on day one but it didn’t and that’s ok.
The reason I’m sharing this is to highlight how you have to meet people where they are and be patient if you want to get a message across. Your friend you’ve been trying to orange pill may eventually get there but it’s going to happen on their schedule and on their terms.
