"Bitcoin isn't real! It has no intrinsic value!"

It's really REALLY hard to believe that people who have shifted from physical mail to email; physical media to digital media services; from paychecks to ACH transactions...somehow can't get their head around that intrinsic value can be something you can't physically paw.

I find this reaction interesting. Somehow people have ingrained feeling that they need to touch money for it to be valuable.

First, people use cards and online payments, so it's digital anyway. And second - you can't touch WiFi, you can't touch email, you can't touch WhatsApp or Facebook and yet you wouldn't be able to imagine your life without it. It gives you value in your context.
