If your audience aren’t receptive to your ‘crypto’ message then perhaps it is a fault in your material or the place you are promoting it.

I appreciate your statement about coming from nothing but King Canute was also brave and courageous; I wouldn’t zap him out of pity nor to maintain his delusions.

Write something people want to read or benefit from and you will be rewarded. Perhaps the story of a struggling artist/journalist trying to adopt a personal Bitcoin standard in a fiat world and your insights on it. Value for value. Good luck!
