This is why I rarely mention bitcoin to normies, unless I'm certain they are freethinking types. Most people's understanding of bitcoin comes from news headlines in trashy newspapers, so they have a tendency to think you're a nutter when you start rambling about it. 

I feel if you're the sort of person that doesn't question the mainstream narrative, and you still get your information from newspapers and institutions, then you're not ready anyway.

Has Orange Pilling Stopped Working?

I experienced something like this earlier in the year. I was on vacation with a group of my partner's friends. I was excited to pick their brain about bitcoin since they were lawyers and running for/in politics. As soon as the word bitcoin left my mouth, they looked at me like a was a turd. I knew immediately that anything i said would be filed under crypto bro. I wasn't trying to convert anyone, i just wanted to hear their thoughts. I wanted to imagine the world they wanted to build with them. 

I immediately bought more. by the end of the vacation that same trade "covered" all of our expenses.

c'est la vie
