When orange pilling your friends, itโs ๐ท๐ช๐ต๐ข๐ญ that they understand why #Bitcoin is important in the first place. If they donโt, theyโll think itโs only a means to get more fiat.
And if ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ donโt understand it, how can you help ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ understand it?
Letโs discuss๐
๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐
First: ๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ. There will never be more than 21 million, and ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ of them can only be acquired through ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ. You have a limited amount of time and labor that you can use for providing value to others, so it follows that the representation of your time and labor โ your ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐บ โ should also be limited.
Additionally, Bitcoinโs disinflationary nature rewards those who choose to save the fruits of their labor, and carry it into an uncertain future. When people save more than spend, ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒโ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฒ, making the prices of goods and services ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ญ in relation to each sat. This allows for inventors and entrepreneurs to build the future, and for society to thrive!

Second: ๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ถ๐ปโ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป. That term has been abused almost to the point of meaninglessness by crypto proponents, but ๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฒ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป. As the ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ญ๐บ digital money with no single point of failure or control, Bitcoin has become less like a technology, and more like ๐ฎ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ.
Bitcoin is run by ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ users around the world, and is governed by its ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ, ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ถ๐บ๐บ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฝ๐ต๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐, so it can ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ be co-opted by greedy individuals or entities. Because of this, it acts as a hedge against human corruption, malevolence, and incompetence.

And third: ๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป ๐ถ๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ผ๐บ. Bitcoin resists censorship, is nearly impossible to confiscate, and empowers individuals with the ability to save their time and labor for the future. For anyone who wants freedom in their future, ๐๐ช๐ต๐ค๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ช๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ช๐ณ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ.
Remember, however, that ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ผ๐บ. You can easily custody your own bitcoin by simply writing down 12 or 24 words, but if you ever lose those words, ๐ฃ๐ค ๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ช๐ญ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต. You might be tempted to leave your bitcoin on an exchange, but that leaves it vulnerable to hacks and theft, to say nothing of rehypothecation.
Bitcoin teaches its users personal responsibility, and puts their own wealth into their hands, but the full weight of consequences comes with it. ๐๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐โ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ, ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐.
As you teach your friends and family about Bitcoin, remember to communicate ๐ธ๐ฉ๐บ Bitcoin matters โ why it has ๐ท๐ข๐ญ๐ถ๐ฆ, regardless of its fiat price. If they want to save their time and work, and rely on unalterable math and code instead of ever-changing human beings, and live responsibly free, then they will see Bitcoinโs true value.
๐๐ถ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ค if this was valuable to you, and ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ this with those who donโt yet know why Bitcoin matters.
And ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ this for later, so you can share this when you need it.
Can you think of any more reasons why Bitcoin is important?
