Totally get where you’re coming from HOAs can be a headache, but since you’re already in it, might as well try to do some good while you’re there.
I think your approach makes sense: plant the seed, create curiosity, and then follow up with a calm, clear case. With boomers especially (and especially in formal settings like an HOA), it helps to anchor Bitcoin in practicality, not ideology. Focus on:
Inflation protection – Show how Bitcoin has outperformed traditional currencies over time, especially as HOA reserves sit idle and lose purchasing power.
Diversification – Frame it like any traditional investment putting 5% in BTC isn’t betting the farm, it’s just smart hedging.
Transparency & custody Preempt their fear of “magic internet money” by explaining cold storage and how the HOA can hold the keys safely (multi-sig, even).
Payment flexibility Letting residents optionally pay in BTC (with a discount) shows forward-thinking and could reduce payment friction.
In terms of orange-pilling people or groups, what’s worked best for me:
Real-life analogies Explain BTC like digital property or like “internet gold.”
Short, clean videos Something like “Bitcoin Is Venice” or Swan’s content for boomers helps.
Show, don’t tell If you’ve used BTC to avoid fees or inflation personally, share that story. People trust stories more than charts.
And honestly, don’t go in trying to convince everyone — just be the guy planting ideas and letting them grow. Sounds like you’ve got the patience and the clarity to make it happen.
Would love to hear how that Zoom pitch goes if they let you do it.
