It's like if you would give me $100 and in return I would give you a paper sticker saying "Thanks".
Analogies isn't your strong point.
A "Thanks" sticker can't be sent across communication channels nearly instantly, in a censorship-resistant fashion. I can't send it across the world for a cent. It isn't resistant to confiscation. It can't be possessed in a divided manner. It doesn't grant me the access to an independent and transparent network, wherein users can verify that it has changed hands, without knowing who's the new owner. Sticker users can't verify who mints them, how many they are, how hard it is to create new ones, which part of the supply they own, because there's no transparency. Owning stickers doesn't give you the option to store messages on an immutable ledger.
With bitcoin, you do gain these benefits. That's why we're all willing to trade monetary value for it. You can whine about it, make videos, call it ponzi, lie about non-existent resources, bring friends to this thread, but you won't get to enjoy these benefits otherwise. We do.
He may even understand that despite the fact that he doesn't recognise it. The point he's missing since ever, is that if we both agree that that paper with the word "Thanks" has some kind of value, then, the transfer of Bitcoin for that paper, is doing exactly the same as what he has been repeating over and over again about shiat money and resources and debt and shit!
But he is too ignorant to amit it, so he keeps repeating the same shit over and over about imaginary numbers and ponzi schemes and etc, when all these phenomena actually happens in hhis shiat mony system.
