Five suggestions while explaining #Bitcoin to friends & family this Thanksgiving.🦃👇 1️⃣Chill out. Most people are turned off by overconfidence and hyper-verbal explanations. 2️⃣Stay humble. People been saying stuff like, “I told these idiots to buy last year at 16k.” Ok…yeah…but you were likely barking just as loud the year before at 59k. They are still skeptical; rightfully so. 3️⃣Start small & slow. Give them ONE digestible resource they might actually have a chance of looking at in the future. 4️⃣Consider actually listening. Let others talk. You don’t have everything figured out. #BTC doesn’t solve everything. 5️⃣Stay optimistic & hopeful. The world isn’t “completely f**ked.” That’s not most people’s experience or feeling, and it’s not a tone most respond to.
What’s truly paradigm shifting is a digital form of value with a COMPLETELY and PERPETUALLY reliable number of monetary units. There is only ONE protocol remotely close to accomplishing this. #Bitcoin

For 30+ years low interest rates incentivized more & more debt — debt servicing costs were almost an afterthought. “More debt isn’t a problem” was a common mantra. Oops…sh*t got really expensive really quick. image
Over time, inhibiting deflation is inflationary. Fiat enabled anti-deflationary monetary policies have compounded over decades and made today’s economy more fragile than it’s been in 100 years. Hedge the system. #Bitcoin
If u encounter someone who doesn’t at least acknowledge #Bitcoin is an interesting & potentially significant technological development, 1 of 3 things is true: 1️⃣They don’t yet understand what it is. 2️⃣They don’t understand how money actually works. 3️⃣They’re just plain stupid.🤷‍♂️
“Money is the mother of all network effects & tends to one. #Bitcoin  is the original & increasingly dominant protocol for digital value storage and exchange. For those of us who have been focused full-time on digital assets for 6 years, it’s increasingly clear that #BTC  is emerging as the TCP/IP for value — and yet, most of the world still has no idea that this is happening.” —Jesse Myers
