153 sats \ 2 replies \ @muteness11 11 Jun 2023 \ on: Tipping as an effective method for Orange Pilling? bitcoin
for me, sending sats is the MOST effective way ..... why?
people need a few touch points (some need one, others need 2/3/4) so its plain and simple
1- ill have them download a wallet and I send some sats
2- they are shocked by speed (LN) and they 1st ask how can they sell it for fiat (very normal question for nocoiners) .... i gave a direct answer but I ask them to keep some sats
3- when price appreciates usually they go down the rabbit hole
That is awesome! Any idea on what percentage wants to learn more after tipping then with sats?
- What wallet do you suggest?
- What is the easiest (no KYC) way to convert LN to fiat (in your country)?

As for %s there is a combination of factors and they are all related when it comes to learning:
A- Touch points: you might hear about Bitcoin the 1st time (ignore it) then another (a bit of research but your friends tell you its a scam), then another (ignorant still but skeptical and then you may take a deep dive but it depends on B)
B- Price: price is always a signal for almost everything, humans give a lot more attention to things when they appreciate in value (most BTC adoptions happen in bull markets)
As for Wallets, its Wallet of Satoshi as it has the best UX (yea its custodial but new comers dont know the difference and dont care at all) but during their rabbit hole journey they will come to know the difference (in a nutshell I dont bombard new comers with much info as too much info = no info)
In my country Crypto is banned (no bank would touch it) so all the buying/selling happens P2P (physical face to face /via exchanges P2P both buy/sell USDT). I never convert any BTC to fiat and all of my LN balance is for zapping sats to quality content and to orange-pill participants of my workshops
Note: I've learnt not to push BTC to anyone, if they are curios I would answer questions objectively. To generate curiosity in anyone you can ask stimulating questions for them to think of and to also know humans are mainly driven by FEAR & GREED
