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.

Unfortunately, the majority are economically illiterate.

Ironically this guy decided he "knew better" because he works in finance.

Hes not even IN finance. He works as an IT manager for a bank.

I laughed when he used that as some sort of confirmation of his superior life experience.
