You got the message! Yes, it was hard on SHA256 BTC to talk to normies about, now another level with XBT, impossible.
In my time I've found that Bitcoin is something that everyone needs to come to on their own when they are ready. Orange pilling is something that works to spark an idea, but even still Bitcoin is a full time, all in commitment. So only individuals that truly believe in the first principles and are willing to continue protecting them are going to be around. Everyone else will be on the fringe, unfortunately in fiat instruments or KYC exchanges, ETF's etc.
I think it's best to let normies be normies. If they ask for advice, give it but if not, allow them to live how they see fit. If they are not willing to do the research and work on their own, there is nothing you could say that will all the sudden get them to change their virtues.
