It's funny whenever I talk to my SO about bitcoin because she listens to all of the news reports about the whole "terrorists being funded with bitcoins" ordeal, so whenever she sees me on this forum or doing anything that involves crypto currencies, she actually thinks I'm talking to terrorists and that sort of thing... which every time I have to tell her that I'm, in fact, NOT talking/funding terrorists.
Damn! That's some serious black and white thinking right there. No way to cure her of that?
Haha, I've been making some pretty big strides in changing her ways of thinking... but the fact of the matter is that, like what other people have been posting, she doesn't really see the point of it; primarily because she doesn't see how it is possible that the USD (or any other major fiat for that matter) can ever collapse along with a global economy.
I've explained to her the ways the central banks operate and how "creating money out of nothing" will inevitably have to result in some catostrophic collapse... but whenever I get to that point in the conversation, I just usually lose her interest and we end up changing subjects...
It's ok though, I don't need her to understand my view point as much as I don't need to understand hers for not thinking with my same logic.
