fiat-rich people who think they already have it made and who think that some new information is below them, will learn the hard way. this story is not a success story, it's an indicator of where people are at. we have a lot more work to do.
recently someone hosted me at their house to specifically teach them about bitcoin. i spoke for an hour straight, showed lightning transactions, utxo management, 2-minute video snippets from various educators, and shared links to study from. i kept it fun and funny despite opening with a statement "it's bitcoin or death." they took notes. i left them the bitcoin standard book.
this is such a satisfying feeling, to be able to talk non-stop for an hour and say nothing but the truth, with full confidence, to someone paying attention. this is what i have been training for. with each iteration, i get better and faster.
Sounds like you are a great educator. I couldn't have pulled that off, even if I had your skills. If I said "it's bitcoin or death" to my friends, they would laugh me out of the room. At best, they would see it as a high flying tech stock, with the ultimate goal of cashing out for fiat. I guess for your presentation to be effective, your audience must be somewhat receptive to bitcoin going in.

for sure, show me someone who's already receptive, and i'll go to town, just tell me when to stop or take a break :)
with non-receptive people... idk, better to move on and spend the energy on someone else.
