No, no one I know told me to buy. I had heard about bitcoin in the news and online but never from anyone I knew personally.
I have convinced a number of people to buy bitcoin but I don’t think it is a good way. I try to convince people to learn about bitcoin now.
I do think things like Twitter, Nostr, SN are good as resources to access people to learn from but people have to want to do the work and learn. I do think v4v and Bitcoin rewards integrated into applications people use is a good way to get them interacting with, holding, using bitcoin and that’s better than nothing. I think SN can be a very good resource because a complete newbie could have the best of both worlds on SN- using bitcoin and having a great resource for education as well.
I agree it takes time. I think there are more resources and ways to get exposure now than when I first found bitcoin but the rabbit hole is ultimately a journey.
Yup it’s a journey either way. I agree convincing them to start to learn is better than convincing them to buy.
But of course convincing people to buy $100 worth just to get off zero and get some skin in the game and monetary incentive to learn more can be effective too!
