EDIT: This made me think...how does everyone feel about explaining crypto to newcomers nowadays? Or participating in crypto discussions in general?
I am quite burned out on this. Back when I got into BTC I gave literal lectures to audiences about it. I would talk with anyone interested, sometimes for hours. But today? I feel like I've heard it all before one too many times. Replying to the media-driven FUD du jour. Hearing the same tired objections for the 1000x. Seeing the gargantuan chasm in understanding that even well-educated and smart people have to cross to get from normie-brain to Bitcoin understanding. I rarely engage with any of this anymore. Thinking there are enough resources to help you understand. In the end, everyone buys BTC at the price they deserve to.
It would be difficult to engage in such discussions with newcomers today. The MSM has done such a mindjob on people general, and put so much false FUD out there, that it would be difficult to overcome that.
The other problem is that no one is interested in bitcoin unless they've already started to have doubts about the existing financial system status quo. No one new is interested unless they're looking to invest in things beyond a mere 401k or IRA. And lastly, hardly anyone new is interested in bitcoin unless they believe that they can get-rich-quick.
So in a room of 20 people, this literally might only be one person. The other 19 people with sit there and scoff, laugh, call it a scam, and bring up all the FUD.
