Replying to Avatar Ken Lazer

Yesterday I had lunch with 2 neighbors. Unprompted they started talking about how banks are screwing them. My eyes lit up as these two seems primed to be unplugged from the Matrix.

The second I said the word Bitcoin, they stiffened up and started to explain how it has no intrinsic value or how it doesn't making something like a business. Which is fine and I countered but what they were really hung up was the NSA.

They believed that the NSA was able to crack seed phrases and could empty anyone's wallet they wanted. I am not sure where they got this idea from as I have never heard this argument before.

Anyone know of good articles I can sent their way showing them that the NSA does not possess that ability?

It probably is a lower effort to get over 50% of the hash rate then computing a private key. Just recently read an article how a complex password of 16 characters takes already around thousands of years for a powerful computer. Private keys are much bigger then that.
