Just as it is mostly irrelevant to people How their electricity is generated, transmitted, and stored, What electricity IS, and they don't need to be told Why electricity is useful, so it is with Bitcoin. The Bitcoiners around the world that need uncensorable, open, and borderless money that settles almost immediately, around the clock, without %-based transaction fees, do NOT need "Why" Bitcoin explained to them.
What is needed though, and almost entirely lacking, is more than just how to safely store bitcoin, Bitcoin businesses and the patrons of these establishments NEED to understand How to USE bitcoin, How to EARN bitcoin, and How to SPEND their hard earned sats to provide for their daily basic needs. For true Bitcoiners, every expenditure is sats foregone, this incentives efficiency in our daily lives in every way; my chickens here in Hawaii are earning me sats equal to almost $1 USD per egg they lay, my home bio-gas generator is saving ~$50 per tank of propane not used, every trip not made into town is saving ~$.30 per mile driven in my truck. ALL of these become more sats stacked into my wallets.
One of the only ways to improve the quality of my life in paradise once my off grid estate has been secured, my food grown, and prepared by my beautiful Queen, is having a beautiful soundtrack to decorate our time together as we celebrate Life together in paradise. This makes showing my gratitude with some of my hard earned LN sats by parting with them in direct patronage of the musicians who's art we enjoy. This will set these Musicians free to create more great art for us to enjoy as they #LearnHow2Earn their daily sats, becoming thriving artists no longer starved out by the existing predatory sandboxed systems.

So I wrote a thing... Outlining the journey no-coiners will have to take to operate natively in the realm of bitcoin. This was the first time I've used the phrase #satoshiseas, I like it and will keep using it.
https://livingry-services.ghost.io/sailing-the-satoshi-seas-on-a-personal-and-professional-bitcoin-standard/
I sure do love all the latest and greatest tools for bitcoiners that have come out over the last year or two. I'm so grateful to all the developers helping realize the potential Satoshi released on the world.
In this post I got to include Emeralize's new LN paywalled educational site, where I've curated ~28 satstreaming tools, with the Ghost blogging platform I'm just now testing out. This post I kept free though, as I sense that Gigi is correct that only bad content will stay behind paywalls, so I'm just requesting donations to my Alby LN address,. But in my other posts I've been experimenting with what Scribsats is making possible for paywalling content as well. I like how these small LN paywalls become a sort of screening device to keep no-coiners out of the room.
I hope you all find this useful and welcome feedback on the ideas I share about living on a personal and professional #bitcoinstandard.
