Not really today, but over the weekend, I was at my son's football tournament and got talking about investments to a fellow parent. Of course, had to drop bitcoin in there and ended up explaining a whole lot about the blockchain, lightning network, halving, mining, energy consumption, deflation/inflation and finally got asked where he could get some :). I guess, you could call it a very successful orange pilling seed planted. Keep on rocking guys. One normie at at time.
Most people think of bitcoin in one bag with cryptocurrencies. They view it is an enrgy hog, it is virtual, so no real value, it is for techies, hackers and scammers. Plus they do not realize you do not need to buy an entire bitcoin and that you can actually use it and pay for stuff with it. That is where it ends. Hard hill to climb :)
