Unpopular beliefs give you the best return for effort/money/time *because* they're unpopular. If they were popular, then you'd have no edge. But they're unpopular, so people will get upset at you sharing them because you disagree with them, usually about something that's fundamental to their identity.
I find that it's not worth reacting to those people that get upset. In fact, it's probably good for them to get upset because that's an early touchpoint for another way to think about things. Enough of those and they'll change. It might take years though.
Belief-change is a long game. And as Bitcoiners we should get used to that.

quoting note1t23…qjd5One thing I can never quite make sense of is the fact that…
1. I have extremely strong beliefs
2. Many or most of the beliefs are out of step with modern culture
3. Holding these beliefs produce outsized results for me
4. Others claim to want outsized results
5. But if you share the beliefs that generate them people get upset
It’s a very confusing phenomenon
