Today a new bitcoiner was born.

How and which information triggered his change of mind?

...... A super small thread. 👇👇👇
A family member who bought a bit in the end 2017, right in the top and saw its portfolio basically dissolve rather quickly than slowly.

He basically dismissed the idea that bitcoin had value, and believed that every #bitcoin -er was in a cult.

I asked him to give it a chance
Just listen to these two podcasts:

1. Bitcoin is Hope
with @johnkvallis and @michael_saylor

2. Bitcoin in a Deflationary World
with @PrestonPysh and @JeffBooth

And finally read this little article:
"Why the Yuppie Elite Dismiss Bitcoin"
by @Croesus_BTC
As a context, he had an inclination to socialism as he is not from a wealthy family and did his Masters Program in an Ivy League university.. so he is fully indebted.

He gave it a chance, and I wake up to an SMS.

"Ok, I bought bitcoin, wont ever make fun of that again."
I asked him: "What changed your mind?"

He said:
"I am convinced. I must accept that part of me wants to trust that the currently monetary system won't fail. It is not easy to accept that the USD will devaluate to oblivion."

"I loved @PrestonPysh's pod, I will cont. learning"
In summary:

For some people grasping the idea that bitcoin has value, might be easy, but for some other, it could mean tearing down the system of beliefs they've built up while growing up. (Paraphrased from Yuppie Elites)

Stay humble and stack sats :)

Ill leave the links 👇
I also recommended him before the podcasts
"The Hard Money Film".
by @l33tguy

He thought it was biased in favor of bitcoin.
My mistake was to shared it with him before he had a deeper understanding.

But then it clicked. :)

He said:

"Maybe bitcoin is the solution indeed.
"Hard Money"
I'll take this thread to basically thank every bitcoiner out there, taking the time to share info. It had been a great part of my process:

On the top fo my mind:

@MartyBent and @matt_odell
These guys made podcasting fun for me, and led me to go down the rabbit hole. (RHR🙏)
Note:
Find out they the actual author of the Hard Money film is:
@rjames_BTC
