In bitcoin circles they speak of "orange pilling" people. It's suppsedly a reference to the red pill / blue pill scene from the matrix. The idea being that you need to convince regular non bitcoiners to try bitcoin. The problem is that the expression comes with a lot of baguage. Matt Odell cover this in some detail on the latest Ep#111 of Citadel Dispatch, it's a very interesting conversation. No one in bitcoin has ever questioned that expression before. I always felt it was a little odd. They absolutely get to the heart of the issue.
Interestingly in the early days of RSS we all had orange xml buttons that link to our feeds. I've always wondered if there was a connection. The sort of irony in all this is that, whatever you think about the bitcoin orange pilling, that is in effect orange pilling people into podcasting. #
