Just had a conversation with a friend of a friend who works in cyber security. She basically shit on Bitcoin security and said exchanges can be hacked, but she didn’t understand what a hard wallet was when I tried to explain. Then she said the government will step in and take it over. I explained how the decentralization aspect is essentially the core of Bitcoin and that the government can’t just come in and change that and that that’s why Bitcoin is so special. This seemed over her heard. Then she proceeded to tell me it was just a ponzi scheme held up by market manipulation and will eventually crash when the market manipulators want it to. Finally, she said she when she heard about it in 2017 she assumed a Bitcoin would be worth 400 dollars max right now. I calmly tried to explain these things to her and it was in one ear out the other. I have experienced this a few times with people who for some reason adamantly dismiss Bitcoin for no valid reason and feel the need to force their thoughts down your throat and not listen to the truth. Guess it’ll be her loss on the way to the moon
