We have all been there, listening to our friends and family complain that “everything is more expensive” without a clue about what is happening.
They argue that some event here or there is causing it; they say, “It’s the president’s fault” or “The earth is burning, and all food is more expensive to grow,” as well as countless other reasons that they heard on the news—clueless to the truth.
I know what you are thinking; you most likely have the urge to say the prohibited word: BITCOIN!
But you and I know what will happen if we just start whispering “Bitc…”: Our loved ones will auto-lock their minds and start repeating some things by heart: “It’s too volatile,” “It’s only for criminals,” “This is the devil’s money.”
Eventually, they will finish the discussion by saying, “Stop selling your bitcoins!”
Orange-pilling your loved ones is challenging, like the ultimate mind surgery. If I have learned anything in the past years, it is that it is easier to orange pill your family if you let other Bitcoiners do the job!
Take my family for example; all my primary family members got orange-pilled at the Adopting Bitcoin 2023, thanks to the BTC ATMs that allowed them to exchange cash for sats easily.
Today, my mom works creating PR strategies for Bitcoin companies in El Salvador, my father opened the first Bitcoin Call Center, and my sisters and life partner all stack sats. Grandmas, aunts, uncles, and cousins are all learning about it, not just accumulating it.
So, for years, I have been asking myself what is the best way to orange pill my closest family members and friends. My Bitcoin-learning journey was everything but structured; I learned here and there and got inspired by Saifedean, Lyn Alden, Jeff Booth, Jimmy Song, and other authors.
For a while, I bought and gifted “The Little Bitcoin Book” to everyone I cared about. In fact, I bought that book over 30 times in multiple languages.
Still, the book often ended up on the bookshelf, unread, hidden in the back, accompanied by spiders and their webs. Apparently, the Bitcoin logo on the cover was enough to block their skeptical minds.
Then I had an idea! What if I wrote a book that would take them through a journey of innovation and the hardships of the entrepreneurial path, and with every page, their minds would start opening more and more to the likes of Open Innovation, Protocols, Megatrends, and Bit… Wait!
It’s too early for that! Tell a compelling story with crazy ups and downs; when they are halfway through the book, and when they are emotionally and mentally invested, then, and just then, I start telling them about Bitcoin.
There are a few mentions of Bitcoin in the earlier chapters, but they are extremely short. These short mentions serve the function of pre-announcing Bitcoin without diving into it.
So, in a way, the book I wrote follows the same strategy as Jeff Booth’s The Price Of Tomorrow.
The main difference is that the book I wrote tells an entrepreneurial story, and it is an easier read for anyone who is not so tech-savvy, and not so interested in the Macro tech changes in the world.
So, what is the book called? The name is Unstable Innovation: The Fragile State Most Will Never Understand.
Unstable Innovation is a philosophy book disguised as an entrepreneurship and innovation guide.
It helps your loved ones navigate uncertainty, embrace rapid change, and rethink their approach to life. For many, it also serves as their first light introduction to Bitcoin and its underlying principles—decentralization, incentives, and the power of open innovation.
My favorite description of the book so far from one of the early readers is:
“Unstable Innovation is a book that helps us build a sound structure in our lives, particularly now when we are experiencing lots of changes, noise, and uncertainty.“
This book will introduce your loved ones to:
⭐ Bitcoin
⭐ NOSTR
⭐ Stoicism & Other Principles of Philosophy
⭐ Low-time Preference
⭐ Living a purposeful life
And the best part is that by exposing your loved ones to Unstable Innovation, they can potentially:
All in all, I wrote this book not only to help my family build a solid life approach to the challenges of the world but also to help you in your quest to orange pill your loved ones.
Together, we will expose our closer friends to the truth, they will not know what’s going on until it is too late! Boom! Orange pilled! 🍊💊
What is the best strategy to introduce newcomers to Bitcoin? I don’t know the answer to this, but what I know is that I will be recommending the following to my network, and introduce them to Bitcoin one at a time:
At last, I don’t want you to leave with empty hands, so I have one final surprise for you.
Unstable Innovation can be downloaded as an EPUB or PDF for free from the official website unstableinnovation.com
This book aims to help others navigate the next couple of decades, support Bitcoin adoption, and contribute to Open Innovation.
Just like Bitcoin is open to everyone, I prefer that anyone pirates or downloads the book for FREE rather than not reading it because it is unaffordable.
Ultimately, if you would still like to contribute and support the book, there is an official Geyser project website for it: https://geyser.fund/project/unstableinnovation
Who is the author of the book? That’s me, but because it is bizarre to talk about myself in an article, I’ll leave you with a short biography written by someone else:
Nelson Inno is a Salvadoran entrepreneur and an innovation enthusiast with expertise in creating and developing new products, services, and digital experiences in multiple industries. Nelson and his work have been featured on Forbes, ZDF, and other media; he has a TEDxTalk called ‘Are Schools Prepared for the Future?’ and advises the El Salvador government on topics around Education and Bitcoin. He lives by the mantra: “Be the ordinary, build the extraordinary.”
