The fiat mindset in r/Bitcoin is infuriating

The amount of people that are only in Bitcoin to get more fiat is infuriating.
How do we get people that have already learned a little about Bitcoin to understand what a hard money system is. To make the switch to denominate things in Bitcoin? Ooof, it might be even harder than onboarding nocoiner Newbies.

These people will, on average, have less and less Bitcoin over time.

Well, I wish I could push their switch to get it. It seems to me that they are halfway there.
Also, it's probably the biggest Bitcoin community on the internet. What they do is the first touchingpoint for many newbies and how they behave is how we look to the outside.... And I don't want newbies first experience with Bitcoin to be that we were a get rich quick sheme to get more fiat.
