If you explain that a currency that has been tightly controlled by the central bank/federal government since 1913 has lost 95% of its value, and that Bitcoin offers an alternative, then maybe they'll come around.
Then you can be like, "Your currency only lost 95% of its value in a century? Bitch, please. Bitcoins have lost 86% of their value in less than a year. Beat that!"
Looks like it's quite significantly up from $0.01.
