What is the best way to explain that bitcoin isnt "fake" or "imaginary" to one who is ignorant about bitcoin and very close-minded? Yes I know it is sort of "imaginary", but there has to be some argument for it.
Simple. I open my blockchain app, send some BTC to my bitpay address, and then show the other person the text message I receive seconds later indicating the amount of USD credited to my bank account. That usually grabs their attention.
Yes but that hasn't changed his stance. He still says its fictitious and that it was doomed from the start because it is not "real" and you cant hold it in your hand.
So then according to your friend that'll mean any money on his paypal account isn't real, credit won't be real, the internet isn't real...
