If you can&#39;t explain it, you don&#39;t really get it. <br/><br/>For a while, I kept my mouth shut and brought up the subject occasionally and very cautiously. I felt like I did not earn the right to teach. I was afraid to sound stupid, crazy or cult-ish. I was on the receiving end a lot, and I know how it feels.<br/><br/>One personal analogy I use, is learning bitcoin is like learning a new language. I can&#39;t start speaking fluently to you without basic understanding of grammar and set of vocabulary. You will be overwhelmed, and it will get over your head. One must put the work, learn ABCs, build the vocabulary and practice .... and the crazy part is, you will never fully perfect it. There is always more to learn. 2025-12-16T08:15:06Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw5xa9de4zmyelj0cc5p7pg64kdm9rc584xq9ux06t26w9dj8qszczyq4dlmv86nu4zerr57rvek43rjp5e3dc3sq2qnhc30tksgw5aj3uysr0xu3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyjmptlahusdvss47cy3ekqqkpt3gfqec478w0xqk9w8xe2akqwqgpzemhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skcxez388'>nevent1q…z388</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Very well put. Relatively new here and just poking around feeling slightly disoriented. So this helps. I could never get a hang of the mainstream social media platforms.

I lived in Canada for 18 years and what an interesting and drastic shift... Although this sounds positive directionally for Kaz, the power is highly centralized and the rule of law is still very weak there. Regular people will not feel or see the benefit. Grass roots education and self custody is of utmost importance. Not your keys, not your coins. 2025-12-15T13:15:16Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszk0vqr9ckew6lsx59kjvug6emrvet88qq4q43zvscnjzptalrq8qzyq4dlmv86nu4zerr57rvek43rjp5e3dc3sq2qnhc30tksgw5aj3uyzmygvm Class of 2021 here. Haven&#39;t been to the moon or experienced a gut wrenching free fall. I became a mom, so my income and mental state were not rock solid, to put in mildly. That journey in itself defined new highs and incredible lows. And of course, at times when I had disposable income, BTC always hit new ATH.<br/><br/>WTF!? I thought sometimes. When is it my turn to go the moon? 😉 Where is that god candle thingy? <br/><br/>If I did not understand fundamentals and if I stopped learning, I would have been long lost in the noise, politics or some other &#39;cutting edge&#39; empty promise. My returns are far from great, but my gains worth a lot more than % and $. The hope, freedom and peace of mind - you can&#39;t put a price on that. <br/> 2025-12-15T12:53:31Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdjvhurwfksvjk3ushyzhdrjgjfyg8spgeys4awj4llazh8gres5szyq4dlmv86nu4zerr57rvek43rjp5e3dc3sq2qnhc30tksgw5aj3uydxpk4s A beautiful story about adoption and getting someone off zero. In the past I resorted to either bribing/forcing others by gifting them sats. I also tried to engage in a very long process of gentle probing, hinting and philosophical discussions to point them in the right direction. Occasionally, I lost patience and turned to more aggressive borderline toxic ‘have fun being poor’ type of tactics. Not good. This is one of the best ways: non-threatening, engaging and respectful. <blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqsgannzztcryl542h56fyxnht26wag37hmrgk74wprdfn46hgg997svel7vp" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…l7vp</a></span> </div> I’d like to share a story about adoption with you.<br/>Lately, I haven’t been able to find time for meetups because of family and work, so I decided to focus on lunches instead. In a regular local pub, I asked the owner if he’d be willing to accept Bitcoin. He politely declined.<br/>I kept going there about once a week. After a few visits, I made an NFC card and loaded it with 1,000 sats as a tip. I also gave him a leaflet with instructions on how to access the Bitcoin. He’s an older gentleman, not very interested in technology, and doesn’t have much time for experiments while running the place. The following week, I tipped him another 1,000 sats. On the third week, he finally agreed to let me install a mobile wallet app for him.<br/><br/>Suddenly, he had a bit of Bitcoin in his Wallet of Satoshi. I asked him if I could start paying that way — with the promise that if it didn’t work out, I’d exchange it back into cash for him. He wasn’t too keen at first, but since I was a regular, he wanted to make me happy.<br/><br/>From that moment, I announced in the local Jednadvacet (our Czech version of Einundzwanzig) community that we’d meet for lunch every Thursday. A short meetup — a chance to exchange Bitcoin, learn something new, meet people, etc. The only condition: payment must be in Bitcoin.<br/><br/>Two months have passed since then. The group has been growing. At first, there were just three of us. Last time, there were already seventeen. For the owner, it’s become a significant part of that day’s revenue. He’s started treating us better too — now he greets us from afar and even reserves the biggest table for us every Thursday, not letting anyone else sit there.<br/><br/>Every time I ask him if everything’s okay, if he wants to cash out, or needs any help with it. And you know what he told me last time? That he doesn’t need to — it’s growing nicely in Bitcoin. He even recently bought a fridge with Bitcoin. He said he had to use Lightning because he ran into some issues with on-chain. I never even mentioned the word “Lightning” to him. He’s been learning on his own, and now he’s become quite the Bitcoiner.<br/><br/>It looks like the pub might soon turn into a nice little vexl point — a place where people can exchange Bitcoin for dirty fiat and vice versa.<br/><br/>I’m writing this because I think it’s a great blueprint. It’s short, takes me about an hour a week — time I’d spend on lunch anyway — I meet people, and it helps Bitcoin adoption in a very natural way. Hopefully, it’ll inspire more Bitcoiners to try something similar in their own area. </blockquote> 2025-11-01T13:29:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqul4za63k24cwukmut88xc8fhuw5mmgsc46x0l0xsrr999m8l20czyq4dlmv86nu4zerr57rvek43rjp5e3dc3sq2qnhc30tksgw5aj3uyhdavgg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgannzztcryl542h56fyxnht26wag37hmrgk74wprdfn46hgg997svel7vp'>nevent1q…l7vp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Bravo! I appreciate you sharing it. I like that you did it in a non-threatening, tangible and consistent way while presenting optionality and zero risk to the gentleman. It also shows that it takes time to build trust. An inspiring example of how you can integrate orange pilling into day to day.
