Ben Theyre

Ben Theyre is a pseudonym for a real-life Bitcoin enthusiast and researcher. Grandpa Jack’s Bitcoin Dialogues display the author's experience after he became orange-pilled. His character, Jack, explains Bitcoin's benefits to his friend in a careful and measured way. Jack, like the author, believes that overwhelming someone with too much information could scare them off.

"Orange pilled" refers to the moment when someone realizes the unique value of Bitcoin, something that remains unfamiliar to most. After experiencing his epiphany, the author was initially hesitant to talk about Bitcoin. He knew that many other experts were already discussing its advantages. So, he quietly accumulated bitcoin, or "stacked sats."

Sensing the absence of awareness of this digital asset among friends and family, the author decided to join the growing group of Bitcoin advocates. He wrote six short stories aimed at explaining the practical benefits of owning bitcoin to Baby Boomers and hopes they too will embrace this epochal phenomenon.
