When politicians tell you they want to be able to control prices, believe them - but what the public must understand is that for forty centuries, price controls have always meant tyranny and serfdom.

Well for one thing “I feel it in my bones” is not a compelling argument - especially to your spouse when you have a track record for losing money.
Either orange pill her or at least make a rational case.
My wife understands that the currencies are being debased and the government seeks to control the citizenry through the banking system.
I also recommend against going “all in” on anything - especially when you’re an investing loser - so I wouldn’t frame it that way for my wife.
“Start allocating to it” (or even “I want to start saving in bitcoin”) is a more tenable position.
