Adopting Bitcoin for a company is not easy for the reputation Bitcoin has. My employees suggested me to think again about it because they worry our company image would be compromised.
I was intrigued by that statement and I begun reflecting about what made Bitcoin, an empowering tool for humanity looks so bad?
From another perspective something really bad like smoking or alcohol is perceived as cool, the narrative is the opposite. Coke red Christmas 🎅 feeling or the junk food match is cool, doesn’t matter how bad is for your health.
We were talking about this and I could see my employee who quit smoking last year still missing the coolness of smoking gestures, when she said: “if only smoking could be harmless like breathing oxygen” but I replied we are breathing all day… and what is cool about holding a stick of tobacco in your finger while talking? Half joking I asked her: “if Jesus was smoking while addressing the merchants in the temple, would he have been cooler”?
He could not have been cooler.
Bitcoin is the same, it gives us a tool that is not available otherwise, for me as a company in Korea where bank services are closed and expensive, to receive immediately cash without stripe mafia, paypal tax (incredibly expensive in Korea) is too good to be true.
yet people think Bitcoin is bad.
But we now is good, so we need to risk that and educate people about the truth.
Someone said the truth will set you free.
(And he didn’t smoke)
