Just got back from having lunch with colleagues.

Got goated into a bad-faith discussion about bitcoin.

Here were the highlights -

"Bitcoin is basically roblox money"

"Blah blah blah - greater fools theory"

"Real estate is a better investment because you can't make more of it"

At this point I chimed in explaining that we can and provably have made more land when its economically feasible.

"blah blah strawman about rising ocean levels"

I felt so infuriated.

People don't want to have an honest conversation about something they clearly don't understand.

Bitcoin really is an ego test.

I don't want to have lunch with them anymore, which makes me sad.
