Hahaha my favourite part is
You: So what’s the purpose of bitcoin?
Fan: The technology is absolutely amazing!
You: Yes, but what’s it for?
Fan: Really, the “blockchain” technology is a total masterpiece, way ahead of its time!
You: Yes, yes, I understand that. But what is it actually for?
Fan: You don’t understand! It’s a completely decentralized money system! Totally revolutionary!
You: Honestly, does it have a purpose? Any purpose at all?
Fan: It’s the wave of the future!
And on it will go.
It’s now a $100 billion market
I don't know anyone who is too stupid to understand what bitcoins are for or how they are worth anything. Who does this guy talk to?! It sounds like morons that invest in ETH that literally don't understand anything about it and keep everything on exchanges because they think they're banks. Maybe he should have came here and asked what bitcoins are used for, as I use them every single day.
How it should have gone:
You: So what's the purpose of bitcoins?Someone logical: Bitcoins are a way to be your own bank. They are deflationary, meaning there are a set limit of bitcoins that will never change. You can send someone money as easy as sending an email with NO intermediary. You don't need to go to western union, a bank, or send cash in the mail.
You: Oh. Why didn't you tell me about this before?Someone logical: I did 100x you were just too skeptical. I'm glad I don't have to buy @ $2500 rofl.
You: Man I r dum. I'm gunna go buy ethereum now because DAPPS?! SMART CONTRACTS?! WAVE OF DA FOOTURE!! DOUBLE YOUR MONEY NOW NOW NOW!?!?!?
