I have come to realize that those who are trying to orange pill others are not really trying to orange pill but they are trying to just brag about how smart they are because they bought bitcoin much before many of their friends and family and they have to show off. I, myself was doing that with my family and I have now realized that, so I have stopped talking about bitcoin at all with them, I just work on myself, improve my knowledge, get better at my craft and improve my health and fitness. When my family or friends ask me about bitcoin after they see a big crash or pump, i just tell them its going ok and explain them what could have caused the crash or pump and just keep my mouth shut. Since I stopped talking about it now, people often come up to me and just ask me about bitcoin price or bring up some bitcoin related news item to check if i'm still into it .
And now they take my word more seriously, recently a friend came up to me and thanked me for suggesting her to keep her stack when it broke ATH in 2024, She was worried if post halving it might go down. She asked me if she should buy more, i told her to DCA, but cautioned here about exchange hacks and suggested her to move the stack to a hardware wallet, which i had done 2 years back, but she brushed it off, this time she took it seriously and inquired further about which Hardware wallet she can buy and from where, etc.

sadly, most people are conditioned to equate bitcoiners or stackers with crypto bros, it's like an immediate red flag to people. this will change with time , but MSM has flooded the world with terrible PR

It’s best to stay humble and just stack on the down low

I agree, when I had more free time, I often tried to convey the basics to those around me. But now I've decided that those who need it have already heard it, and anyone who hasn't understood will ask again. In any case, my mom is already in the game.

Exactly!
I’ve always said, don’t be hard on others or brag about it. It just makes things worse. The best approach is to go slowly, talk about the benefits and focus on things they’re interested in. You can never force anyone, and if you try, you might end up pushing them toward something else lol.I’m really happy that people are now coming around and taking your words seriously.
