My Bitcoin Savior Complex
Last year, when the price of #Bitcoin was around 25k per coin, a good friend of mine told me I had to snap out of this and get out now if it’s high. Another friend of mine said that "people like me" don’t know how research is done. Another "friend" of mine actually called me on Messenger to make sure my Facebook account wasn’t hacked, then told me Bitcoin was a joke. What a slap in the face. I'm not laughing.
It's a shame how Bitcoin has become a partisan issue. It's a shame that people think Crypto and Bitcoin are the same thing. And it's a damn shame that we have discovered perfect money that can solve most of the world's problems, but no one will listen.
I now know why OG Bitcoiners don't spread the sound money gospel to their friends and family. They respond with ridicule, gaslighting tactics, and jealousy. They have to learn the hard way to shut up and let people find out on their own. Some people will never learn, and it's not for lack of intelligence. Their egos are the culprit in this tragic tale.
I do want the people I care about to escape the fiat matrix. Unfortunately, it is not our job to save anyone, and sometimes you just have to plant the seed and move on, hoping that it takes root and they find financial sovereignty.
