Before this reply my understanding of "orange pill" is that it is a condescending/arrogant way of telling people about Bitcoin(which apparently is not, after looking more into it) and that is why I said the part on my post that you highlighted.


Very interesting remark. So it's just a question of vocabulary that has biased the interpretation. I thought "to orange pill" was a neutral expression.

Well otherwise to give an example:

You know your friend doesn't like cake very much. But you have a great recipe with special ingredients that are good for his health (in addition to the fact that it tastes great). So you make him the cake, and he is free to taste it or not, without any obligation.

That's more what I had in mind. As for those (few) who want to entrust me with a few hundred euros, it would be better if they learned themselves what Bitcoin is all about. I'm not interested in keeping other people's money, knowing that they might not even get it back if I die.

In short, there are almost two questions in one.

Thank you for explaining why I didn't understand all these strange answers.
