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!"
I'm sorry?
Looks like it's quite significantly up from $0.01.
Ha ha, maybe next you can pull out the bitcoin value log graphs and push the delusion even further. Bitcoins are down 86% since their peak less than a year ago. Are you disputing that fact?
Also, nominal yearly inflation in the low single digits like we've seen with the USD is pretty rad. It's pretty much ideal, actually. Wage stagnation isn't cool, though, which is the real problem at the moment.
