This *should* be all the wow that's required. It's just too easy for doubters to uncritically dismiss it as a scam rather than putting in any effort to understand.
Putting Bitcoin aside, I find that most people are too lazy to even consider trying to figure out for themselves why fiat prices keep going up. They seem to think that 'inflation' is just a law of the universe.
Agreed, it should be, but mostly people focus on the fewer down lines, not the many more up lines.
I'm not sure why?
Also agreed, indifference is also the enemy.
It’s also because we now have the Internet telling us how bad bitcoin is 😅
That's true!
Oh, the irony 😂
It is pretty amazing: Of my friends who are still skeptical about Bitcoin (which is almost all of them), I don't think I've ever heard "hey, I saw Bitcoin's on the rise again!" All I get is "didn't Bitcoin just crash to like 50k?"... and I'm like "Dude, you do realize that the last conversation we had about Bitcoin was when you pointed out a 'crash' to like 20k? I'm looking forward to you telling me about the next 'crash' to 150k."
I stopped that line of attack by responding
"No, it's still up from $625 a coin" 😂
“It’s too expensive” is the most common one now amongst my friends. 🙄
Your response is WAY better.
... especially since my response proves entirely ineffective when they can never seem to remember our previous conversations.
My neighbour playfully ridiculed me back in 2017 when my coins had dropped from $4K to $2K, he hadn't remembered that I'd bought most of them at $625, but I didn't say anything back then.
These days we have a mutual neighbour who is in her late 70's. She is constantly fascinated by Bitcoin and asks me questions all the time.
He doesn't enjoy listening in.
I think it's only hubris that is preventing him buying now.
He's a nice guy and we get on well, but I tend to avoid discussing Bitcoin with him these days.
