Every orange pill attempt should be tailor-made towards that person. It's best to not pick what you think is most important about Bitcoin. Pick what would make it most useful to them.
If they are older and concerned about inflation's effect on their fixed income, talk about it's scarcity resulting in an inflation hedge.
If they come from a country with poor human rights, mention how hard it is to confiscate, and how you can flee a country with your life savings as 12 words in your head.
If they are politically active, talk about it being unstoppable. You will never have to worry being deplatformed from financial services.
If they own a business, show how they can save money on transaction fees.
If they are a content creator, talk about innovative new monetization techniques are made possible only by Bitcoin.
No matter who they are, there is a way Bitcoin will improve their life. You just have to figure out which use case they most need.
I have the copy that I read (and flipped my worldview upside down) framed, hanging on the wall of my office.
I feel good. Looking at my monthly budget, I've cut expenses to the point where 50% of my salary goes into BTC.
For larger on-chain payments I'd probably go with a node on a laptop. The node doesn't need to be running 24/7. Just re-sync whenever you want to make a payment. You could do that with public WiFi + Tor at a cafe or something like that.
For day-to-day payments (i.e. Lightning), what's wrong with the non-custodial mobile wallets like Phoenix, Breez and Blixt?
