Bitcoin is an experiment in irreversible digital value transfer and storage. It is not ready for the world. That said, it is usable and there is a lot of potential upside if it is able to sustain itself until it is ready.
Right, but saying that to them just gets a reply of "exactly" its a scam and you'll loose your money, etc. Im just trying to show how it makes sense and can eventually be a valid, widy used currency, not "monopoly money"
