I always like when people ask me "Well, if I can set up a rig to mine them and create them out of thin air, why would I ever buy them on an exchange?"

To that, I usually reply, "Well, you can go mine gold, melt it down, and make your own bars too.  So why do you go and buy those?"

It usually turns out that they don't want to put in the effort..  for either of them.
