Hey guys!
I have noticed that whenever people in real life find out that I use bitcoin, they ask me to explain it to them. For example, some family friends that are my age came over to my house around 2 weeks ago, when they arrived, I was looking at crypto graphs because I had a little bit of money saved up to invest. Bitcoin was on one of the charts, so when they walked into my room, they asked about it, "You do bitcoin? How does it even work?." So I started explaining it to them, but what they didnt get was that it is decentralized. When I was explaining it they asked "Why doesnt bitcoin's creator give himself a billion bitcoin?" I told them that it is impossible for the creator to do so since he doesnt have control over the network, but after I said that, they told me that I was wrong and that since He made it, he can control it, which is incorrect. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to explain coins to non-crypto people?
Oh well, they're a little bit of a basher but not really haha. When I talk to people about bitcoin, or even just open charts, they are amazed and say things like, "I'm sure you're making a lot of money out of that." When I talk to people about bitcoin, their first question is always, "How do we make money out of this?" I'm not sure how to answer because there are so many different ways to partake. I believe you should simply explain it based on your understandings because you already know that they will realize in the future that what you have said to them was correct.
