I’ve run into this. Just stay the course and ignore the fact that they all think you’re a bit off or misguided.
I’ve been told it’s a Ponzi scheme and that the government will just outlaw it. However, I did have a reasonable conversation about it a few nights ago. Baby steps.
Any time I find a situation, which is often, where Bitcoin solves the issue being discussed, I say “Bitcoin solves this.” Usually I get some rebuke to that, but then I try to briefly explain how it solves the issue.
Just stay the course. This is a mindset change that we’re working toward here, and it’s not going to be easy for some people.
