bitcoin can be hard to explain to non-techies...keep on trying.

Yeah, I'll be out with fliers as well. It's just so weird that the same people who are out protesting for a cause they believe in, respond "but they dont accept it in the big stores" when i try to say why they should support bitcoin and help it grow, to further their own cause.

If anyone has some tips on how to penetrate the minds of these people, please share them.

No Occupy protester has come out desiring a cumbersome electronic cryptocurrency.  What they do want is to prosecute bankers, reinstate Glass-Steagal, limit derivatives trading, and work towards overturning Citizens vs. United.  Please explain how joining the Bitcoin Ponzi scheme so late in the game helps them in any way.

Actual change like investing your dollars in pretend internet money in the hopes that they become worth more dollars so you can withdraw your dollars and spend them on things in real life? 

How about, uhm, completely obsoleting banks? Anyway, I won't bite your FUD any further.


Are you saying every single person out protesting the financial institutions, are actually put in place by the financial institutions themselves? I'm not interested in media coverage, im interested in the protesters understanding that the way for them to get the change they want, is to adopt bitcoin. This could literally be the most successful protest started by the lower class ever - financial disobedience.

I see your point. But i honestly never even start to touch on the subject that bitcoin would mean reinventing taxes (its actually not that advanced, it just means VAT and land tax will take the place of all other taxes)

When i tell them to stop giving banks their business they say "yeah, so we are withdrawing all our money", and they seem to think that is solving the problem.

There's people much higher than the public institutions on Wall Street. These companies are only acting on the regulations and benefits given to them on the first place. They aren't the real villains. If you want real change, you have to aim for the top and it's the people who create and collect our money in the end: The central banks.

The truth is in plain sight, people. Wall Street is only accountable to a government that acts in the interest of the true wealthy elite in the first place. The game is all rigged. You'll get nothing yelling at the puppets.

We have to aim for the top. You're only repeating history otherwise.

The bankers tried this whole "We need to pay more taxes." propaganda decades ago and the people fell for it and they raised taxes on everyone including the high-skilled specialists of this country. The true wealthy are hidden. You can't touch them.

You are all being duped by the corporatists. The whole lot of you.

The millionaires are mostly small business owners, doctors and specialists. They are certainly very valuable members of society.

What about the crony-capitalists that are screwing you over? Nope. They aren't even on the fucking record. You really think they are going to keep their wealth on-shore and observable? Hah.

It's not a conspiracy. It's the fucking truth. Look where the money flows. The banks will benefit from everything that is being proposed. The top 1% tax records don't add up. There's too much money not accounted for. All future regulations only benefit the corporations. It's all in plain sight. You just can't handle it. It's much more convenient for you to believe you can change your puppet governments and that they may actually care about you. Keep living in your dream world.
