Let's go! Yeah, the trucker hats are some of my favorites, I wear that one about every other day lol.
Kalshi. Sports. Stranger Things 5. W2 Income. Scrolling short videos on social. Too many distractions in fiatland.
I think if you do this, using a second computer to download TailsOS via USB and then booting your air-gapped laptop by setting the USB as the first boot device, you're in the top .01% of paranoid Bitcoiners and your descendants will build a bronze statue of you outside the family citadel.
It's really hard to break into normie world when the price isn't interesting. I'm a pleb who likes talking about Bitcoin whether the price is up or down or flat. It's always interesting to me. I think the goal for any Bitcoin company is to always put out signal, remind and encourage people to study Bitcoin, learn about money. It's a hard sell though because the journey isn't easy. This reality makes being a consultant, or a Bitcoin employee difficult. You can work really hard, but if the environment isn't conducive to Bitcoin content, and it's hard to prove your value.
Thanks for the Q. I hope The Bitcoin Way onboards 10K nodes to the network over the next five years. It's a key part of our services, and essential for Bitcoiners. Our team is also helping people relocate or gain residency to Panama, a Bitcoin-friendly, low-tax country and I hope more people see that "location insurance" is important to stay sovereign. Wealth in Bitcoin is step one, protect your energy and your work. Protecting "self" - the individual is also important. If you live in the US, it's easy to be blinded to how difficult some parts of the world are. When someone is looking to leave their country, keep their wealth intact, we're right there to guide, step by step.
Birdflip is a fun side project. To be honest, it turns a lot of people off. There's a good amount of Birdflip gear out there in the wild, which is cool. The cashier at my local grocery store laughs when I'm wearing Birdflip hoodie or hat. The idea was to start conversations that lead to Bitcoin. I'd say that's hit or miss. Most people react like I'm just flipping them the bird, which is fair lol.
Hollow Earth is false, imo. Cool comic book idea, but "Agartha" is a ridiculous "conspiracy theory." One conspiracy I believe ... hm ... geo-engineering is real, happens everyday to the detriment of humanity.
My favorite moment was when we poked fun at the self-described world's highest IQ holder. No doubt he's a smart guy, but as his profile was going viral, we offered a critique of his POV, and his 100X BTC prediction. Within a week he was posting about his Bitcoin 2.0 shitcoin lol.
We begin with a cybersecurity setup, and then we help clients understand how to self-custody Bitcoin, and get them set up on a node to verify their transactions. It's a 1:1 guided process where we answer all their questions, and teach them the proper steps. We also help clients secure a Plan B Residency, and a privacy phone if they desire. We're a dedicated resource even after your self-custody setup is created. Thanks for checking out our website -- we have lots of guides and resources for people at any stage of their Bitcoin journey.
Right is my dominant hand, that's true, but when it comes to flipping the bird, it's best to be ambidextrous. Sometimes you need to flip off two people at once, ya know?
I'd say people are comfortable believing the cliches: "gov't will ban it, you can't hold it, it has no intrinsic value" ... Curiosity requires humility, a genuine interest, and a lot people I've met don't question what/why they believe what they do. One thing always seems to attract new people: FOMO :)
Yes, today our process is a bit clunky, but we're working with a NoKYC App to make the process seamless.
Currently, when you check out, you can select "Pay in Bitcoin" and then submit your order. Our Bitcoin address is revealed, and the customer will copy and paste the address into their Bitcoin wallet. Once the payment is pending, we manually process the order. Bitcoin payments are close to 50% of the total, but users receive an order confirmation prior to paying, which causes confusion. Thanks for your question!
