My thoughts on Bitcoin adoption advocacy evolved since 2013. I no longer spend energy on "mass adoption" (it is inevitable). My advocacy objective is recruiting and fostering the Remnant to ensure Bitcoin's survival for the sake of everyone.

The important passage 1/2
God: "The official class and their intelligentsia will turn up their noses at you. Masses will not even listen. They keep on in their own ways until they carry everything down to destruction, and you will probably be lucky if you get out with your life"
God: "The official class and their intelligentsia will turn up their noses at you. Masses will not even listen. They keep on in their own ways until they carry everything down to destruction, and you will probably be lucky if you get out with your life"
Why, if all that were so — if the enterprise were to be a failure from the start — was there any sense in starting it?
God: "you do not get the point. There is a Remnant there that you know nothing about."
God: "you do not get the point. There is a Remnant there that you know nothing about."
God: "They are obscure, unorganized, inarticulate. When everything has gone completely to the dogs, they are the ones who will come back and build up a new society. Your preaching will reassure them, keep them hanging on. Your job is to take care of the Remnant".
"The mass man is one who has neither the force of intellect to apprehend the principles issuing in what we know as the humane life, nor the force of character to adhere to those principles steadily and strictly as laws of conduct"
"The difference between masses and the Remnant is set by quality, not by circumstance. The Remnant are those who by force of intellect are able to apprehend these principles, and by force of character are able at least measurably to cleave to them. Masses are unable to do either"
"Anyone who liked might listen. He knew that the Remnant would listen; and knowing also that nothing was to be expected of the masses, he made no specific appeal to them, did not accommodate his message to their measure, and did not care two straws whether they heeded it or not"
"If a prophet were not too particular about making money out of his mission or getting a dubious sort of notoriety, serving the Remnant looks like a good job. An assignment that you can really put your back into, and do your best without thinking about results, is a real job"
