It's not that Bitcoin is the best.

It's that there is no second best.

You must understand and expect that everything other than bitcoin trends down over time.

Good money lives at the base layer of value. Over time, it accrues the productive gains society makes with technology and distributes those gains via greater purchasing power.

This is "number go up" technology, but it actually works in reverse: bitcoin is merely maintaining its own value (the base layer of value, 1BTC = 1BTC) while technology drives prices down as productivity increases.

That's what Satoshi discovered: how real money works.

I find that orange pilling doesn't happen until you truly wrap your head around that concept. It changes your worldview.

There really are no shortcuts with orange pilling. It takes proof of work. All you can do with strangers is point them to the right learning material. With friends, do the same and hope you can tan talk their ear off for a few hours. Works for me.
