Was sitting at the table the other night with a neighbour.
1) Complaining its impossible to move money from his home country to this country
2) Complaining he has to carry large amounts of cash between him and his wife to move funds from his own country to this country.
3) Complaining about the volatility of a Solana ETF i advised him to buy last year instead of Solana directly, because it lost 25% in a week.
4) Couldn't see the benefit of Bitcoin and remarked what if they ban it.
5) Said he likes physical gold because he can hold it.
6) Said if︀ the internet goes down bitcoin goes down, but his bank account is safe.
I was︁ a tad drunk, so pointed out Governments can't ban it, they tried (China 3 x),︂ US tried to lill it, i also remarked bitcoin runs on backup nodes operated by︃ sats (i have one) and that its decentralised so everywhere but nowhere, meaning immune to︄ Internet issues (on broader scale) and immune to hacking or cyber warfare on smaller scales︅ (centralised custodians, banks, etc), I also remarked volatility is the sign of a free-market, the︆ Stock market is not a free market, and Crypto is the last true free-market economy,︇ with that comes volatility, volatility is your friend if you understand what drives the cycles,︈ i also remarked his ETF was up 50% since he entered, and he'd need to︉ detail something he put money into that was up 50% in a year, as for︊ moving money i pointed out he could just deposit the funds into a crypto exchange︋ buy USDC/USDT and withdraw those in the country with ease, i also remarked bitcoin unlike︌ gold is borderless and that he'd struggle to flee a country with his gold in︍ a time of societal decline/collapse.
The world is in a societal decline and collapse as︎ the world order shuffles around and tensions arise, banks are debasing the currency by 8%️ PA rising to 12% PA, people are arbitrarily being charged for voicing their concerns (see UK) and funds are becoming restrictive in physical as well as digital fiat rails and you now live in constant surveillance.
If you (he) couldn't see the benefit, i'm not sure what will educate you (him).
