As we approach Thanksgiving in the US, a full year removed from #bitcoin ‘s ATH, having a conversation about it with precoiner friends and family can be difficult.

Here are 10 helpful tips to have robust #bitcoin conversation during Thanksgiving
🧵👇🏽 1/
Be aware of how knowledgeable you are relative to the general public.

Be empathetic. 4 years ago even you would call yourself crazy for believing, let alone preaching bitcoin.

It will take time for the world to catch up to our knowledge and thus our conviction.

US CPI in October was 7.7% but there's a hidden reason to believe that we're very close to a local CPI top.

Starting in January 2023, the BLS plans to change the CPI calculation (again), which will likely (and not surprisingly) lower the CPI prints.

What are they doing?

Last week, the most bullish #Bitcoin regulatory event in 2022 so far took place, and it flew under the radar of many bitcoiners.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) decided to require companies to measure cryptocurrency assets at fair value.

Money printer go brrr is a favorite meme amongst #bitcoin ers

With the US in a recession, geopolitical tension, inflation at ATH, the Fed set on tightening monetary policy, and uncertainty on economic outlook, some fear we may have ripe conditions for bank runs.

The stock market crash of 1929 made it difficult for borrowers to repay their debts.
Many banks balance sheets became impaired as a result.
