A year ago, I was fortunate enough to orange pill a small business owner. I did this by offering to give them a tip in Bitcoin. I helped them download a custodial lightning wallet and told them a few things about Bitcoin. They were willing to learn more about it, yet I was not able to visit the business again until today. It turns out there was someone else who stopped by and helped to finish the orange pilling. Today when I stopped by again, they saw me and said they wished they had bought 1000 instead of 5 worth of it and that they now accept Bitcoin for payment. They were even encouraging me to pay with it. For me, this is such a good moment. I am so happy to see them starting on their journey to owning hard money.

This is the feeling of getting workdone. It shows how when you understand Bitcoin you tend to want it more.

Do you have any more details about the business? Do they advertise that they accept bitcoin? Maybe they would like to get noticed by Stackers?

If someone accepts Bitcoin, it's a sign they want to acquire it, so it's worth a shot asking if they want to buy some and how much.

The side effect of being orange pilled is you'll never have enough bitcoin.
Remedy is more side hustles to bring in the sats
