  • Been contributing to open source bitcoin and lightning projects for about 2 years now, most extensively in Fedimint
  • Worked at OKCoin and OKX for a couple months as a backend developer on the fiat and "web3" teams, quit to work exclusively on Bitcoin again like I had when just doing open source
  • Started working at Fedi a couple months ago

I usually start with: "Bitcoin is basically a public ledger, one that anyone can write to but somehow everyone trusts. We've never had that before."

The conversation then usually goes in one of two directions: 1) how does Bitcoin achieve this, or 2) why does this matter? I trust that you'll be able to take it from there :)

I like starting with that because it focuses on the actual technological innovation and what's got people so excited. It works better than talking about the gainz since 1) not everyone is interested in gainz and 2) gainz are not guaranteed over any particular period of time and 3) they probably know someone who got burned chasing gainz
