I had a chat with an old relative of mine today. Bitcoin entered the conversation. He said, oh that, that's a ponzi scheme. I said no it's not. He then explained to me what a ponzi scheme is and I said yes I know it LOOKS like one because of the massive amount made by people involved from the beginning, but is the internet a ponzi scheme? No? Well what if you bought sex.com in 1992 for a hundred bucks?

Then he said you can't buy plane tickets with it, so I said yes you can www.expedia.com then we stopped talking about it and it was time to get some food, and he said you can't buy food with bitcoin, and I said yes you can! (I was talking about buying pizza funnily enough), then he said you can't buy a flat with it etc......

It's nice that bitcoin has developed to the stage where there's constant examples of its acceptance, functionality and superiority to fiat.

To d4 m00n!
