With my progressive friends (at least those who still talk to me) I always start with Occupy Wall Street. Throw around the term banksters when referring to big banks. Guaranteed they are at least suspicious of big banks. Explain how bitcoin was born post GFC and talk about Satoshi's message on the genesis block. Describe how the Too Big To Fail banks got bailed out, and the little guy got fucked. That's why bitcoin allows you to be your own bank. It will resonate with progressives.

Absolutely fascinating. I plan on buying a house in a cold climate in the next few years and I want to do exactly this. And then spread the tech far and wide. How cold does it get where you are? Do you have good insulation? What kind of ambient temperatures are you getting in any given room with a radiator? Are you getting enough sats to reduce your electricity bill and if so by how much e.g. 5%, 50%? Inspirational, I will be going through all this with a fine tooth comb in due course, I need to know what I should look out for when buying a house.

it's a moral obligation

if we don't INSIST on cash (or lightning), we are all going to become slaves to the banking elite
