Orange Pilled My Partner

This week I orange pilled my girlfriend.

A little backstory here. I have been buying Bitcoin since 2020 and dabbled in other shitcoins at the time. The past 2 years I woke up and have been purely buying Bitcoin, bought a hardware wallet, backed up my seed phrase on stamped metal washers and have been DCAing the entire time.

My partner has always been poor with money and has a fairly large chunk of debt through stupid pay day loans and overdrafts so in Autumn last year, she sold her car in order to clear some debt. Over Christmas and going into this year she had struggled without a car (we live rurally and have no public transport links) so she wanted to buy a new car to use for work.

We found a car, but as she'd put all her money into paying off debt, she has no savings. So, I leant her a chunk of money for a deposit on a sensible reliable car and she was going to pay me back each month.

I have spoken a lot about Bitcoin with her but she never really understood it, but I've given her an incentive to buy some. I got her to set up an account with Strike and have requested for her to DCA into Strike instead of paying me back and she has done exactly that.

Now she keeps asking more and more questions about Bitcoin and she's really starting to understand the benefits that it can offer to all of our lives. The next step is getting her set up with a hardware wallet, but that is another topic for later!
