Take the Orange Pill – Increase Your Conviction

The term Orange Pill is the Bitcoin community’s shorthand for getting those new to Bitcoin to see the light.  The meme refers to a scene from the 1999 film The Matrix where Morpheus offers Neo a choice between the willingness to learn a potentially life-changing truth, by taking the red pill, or remaining in contented ignorance with the blue pill.  Taking the Orange Pill refers to learning the fundamentals of Bitcoin and getting off of zero.

Due to Bitcoin’s decentralized nature, there is no marketing money driving adoption.   It is up to the community to spread the word.

Helping our friends and family learn about this novel monetary technology is important to us.  If you view Bitcoin as Manhattan real estate 100 years ago, you would want those close to you to stake a claim as well.
