Some thoughts on arguing with a certain subset of pre-coiners / no-coiners.

There are people that have values that are aligned with the values of the fiat system, regardless of whether or not actually understand the current fiat system. So, when you tell them the virtues of sound money under the bitcoin standard they will reject it because it opposes their values.

Some of these values include:

Using energy is bad (especially if they don’t like something)

They want to be able to track and tax every financial interaction

They want to be able to turn money off folks that they don’t like

They want the people with money to lose value via inflation

They want the money printer brrr to fund their preferred people or projects

Some just think the government should have the monopoly on creating and maintaining a currency

Some like that the nominal value of their non-cash assets go up due to inflation and the idea that this should stop would rob them of the sensation of the wealth effect that fiat inflation currently provides them.

Etc

You won’t win the arguments by telling them all of the things that make Bitcoin good, because they do not yet understand those things to be good. These issues have to be addressed at the level of their value system.

Ultimately, many of these folks will only be pursued once it is obvious that Bitcoin has already won. Some of these folks will even have the honor/horror of being that absolute tail end laggards of the adoption cycle.
