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?

Well for one, there's no evidence of that ever having taken place. Once you have some understanding of the math necessary to crack just one of the private keys, it becomes pretty obvious that it's not possible with current technology.

Also, if they can do that, what's stopping them from draining your "fiat" bank account?

That’s exactly what I said. They replied that they haven’t decided to take BTC down yet. 🙄
