107 sats \ 5 replies \ @optimism 27 Sep \ on: What is it that people say they don’t like about Bitcoin? bitcoin_beginners
#1 from people with fiat income for me nowadays "it's speculative"
Neutralized with: "just replenish on spend". May need a few back & forth of this convo before orange pill success.
When people say "it's speculative" I just say "I'm not in it for the gains."
If that turns them off, then they're not ready for bitcoin anyway.
If that intrigues them, then let's gooo

Yeah but isn't that a great lead up into talking about bitcoin?
And if anyone blames "corporate greed" for inflation, I always ask, "when have corporations not been greedy?"

Oh you're right, except then the tables may get turned on you (they have on me) and you're being speculating against inflation! Not making this up, I literally heard this argument twice where one even went on to tell me I'm a cheater for not feeling the inflation as hard. No joke. Needless to say no orange pilling these... yet.
PS: "corporate greed" discussions are such a brainwave killer, lol.

Haha, sounds like they're just rationalizing to themselves why they don't / shouldn't own bitcoin. I'd probably just end the convo with like, "Sure, you can see it that way if you want, but to me I am just trying to support a more free and fair monetary system."
