⚠️ You’re wasting time trying to explain Bitcoin to the wrong people. Most never get it. Some pretend to. A few actually do. After 8 years of trying, I finally figured out why. 💥 THE EXIT MANUAL – EPISODE #10

What about Archetype 6 Post-Coiners. People, many of whom were the early Bitcoiners, & are seeing the technology isn't keeping up with the times. We've read the whitepapers, & quotes we know the devs wanted to implemented privacy, we see the bickering of pointless core vs. knots debates, and how financial interests hold back major changes to L1. Bitcoin was a good prototype but technology grows, and innovates. I will say of all the Bitcoiners, your videos, and @BTC Sessions are probably the most compelling videos I've seen so far since you guys actually care about the protocol, technology, and freedom, while a lot of other Bitcoin influencers are singing the praises of Blackrock, Michael Saylor, and Donald Trump instead of Satoshi, Hal Finney, and the others who made Bitcoin a good technology.
I’d be the type you’d describe as mid-curve. First of all, let’s clear up some misunderstandings. See, I fully understand, we shouldn’t trust corrupt politicians or states. They take our money and use it against us (like the genocide in Palestine). The powerful get richer while the poor get poorer. However, when you look at corrupt states, you see they use force against their own population. So yes, they might actually turn off the internet. India did that in the occupied part of Kashmir (

). Germany has a terrible past, and today they again support genocide. If you speak up, they’ll give you trouble. Corrupt nations don’t care about their people — they want to take their money and keep their populations as a kind of slave class. The point is, I find it very likely that these same corrupt states will one day understand the power of Bitcoin and raise taxes so high that buying it becomes hard. For rich people, sure, they can move to another country. But for ordinary people, who might struggle to find a job abroad, the situation could look very different. So, I wouldn’t underestimate the power of corrupt politicians. They’ll bomb babies and call it self-defense — memories of a state called Israel.

## 1) The Normie - Fiat-Loser (Fiat-Mindset, Fiat-Behaviour, Fiat-Habits) - Method for Orange-Pilling: Mention that If you bought 1 dollar bitcoin for the last seven years you would now have 100k. ## 2) The Idealogue - Recognizes "all" the problems in the world and then traces them back to the false reasons. - Wrong Mindset: The problem is the "player", the "scoreboard", the "referee" -> reality: The "game" is rigged - Method for Orange-Pilling: Skip / Avoid / Ignore ## 3) The Midcurve - Asks the wrong questions and gets hung up on them - Method for Orange-Pillinng: Asking the question "Do you think the system is broken or mismanaged?" ## 4) The Skeptic - Questions everything not just the monetary system but also f.e. the real truth behind the epstein files, 9/11, etc. - Recognizes the totalitarian scheming, f.e. Digital IDs, CBDCs, social credit scores - Method for Orange-Pilling: Point them to the Bitcoin Whitepaper; Explain them the fundamentels and technicals: PoW, Incentives, cryptography, etc. ## 5) The 90%ers - Questions everything but also believes in something - People who are already succesful and souvereing in their thinking and acting - Method for Orange-Pilling: Your deep conviction about Bitcoin will convince them. > Good Luck orange-pilling the different archetypes!
