Investing does not exist. It's not a real economic activity, only a symptom of fiat. There are more "venture capital" firms than there are McDonald in the US. Have one foot in fiat world and one foot in bitcoin world. I usually just don't talk markets with anyone unless they bring it up. The deaf leading the blind.

I moved to the other side of the world to work in bitcoin. Offered the job at #nostriga in 2024. Only Talk to two friends from the fiatsville , head down , do my thing

No need to disengage, just stop arguing. Be an example, not an adversary. Bitcoin touches on so many convenient but sacred fictions that many people have to hit "fiat bottom" before they become willing to entertain alternatives to what everyone knows. View quoted note →

100%. Just stop bringing it up, though. When they ask how "that bitcoin thing is working out for you," just tell them: "about twice as good as last year." And repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Every time they ask. They'll get interested some time between reps 5 and 12. Its just how NPCs are. You can't change it.

every time I try to talk to others about bitcoin, monero and 'nostr' many instead of seeing it as a help, they try to evade the conversation. even trying to just talk about the things that one finds out in this place, I feel like I'm locked up because both my family and friends still continue to believe what the TV says or even believe in the words of many influencers.

I’m working on not arguing with people. Instead I try asking, and listening. People need to find it themselves. Let them know you like/buy/study Bitcoin. If they are curious they will ask you about it.

Passed that point years ago. Cut off the bridges.

Just live your best life & let them come to you.
