My recent BTC story: what happened with me yesterday (real story)

So...let start it

Yesterday one of my friends (not a very close friend...like a buddy / mate) called me that he is in town, and it could be great to meet, and drink a good wine somewhere in the city. I was not very busy yesterday and long time no see my friend, so I accepted the invitation.

We met in a pub at the 18:00 PM, and ordered our first bottle of wine (the original idea was that we will drink one single bottle...but it becomed 2...hehe)...

After the first 10-15 minutes with standard, and "warm up" questions (like "How are you?", what happened with you / your family after our last met?", etc), we started to talk about personal finances, especially about how with what methodes we plan to improve our financial situation and how to generate a passive income on short, mid, and long term.

My friend talked about gold and property as investment. His idea is, that the gold is the most important investment, with the higher return in the future (mid-long term), and proerty generate some monthly income. He have a 50-55 square meter rented apartment in the city, and he get around 400 Euro monthly. I suggest him, to invest atleast a part of these 400 Euros (because it does not interfere him daily life and lifestyle) in Bitcoin. He was completely skeptic about, and told me that it is just something virtual, and never will be a "global accepted" payment method...and can be manipulated...and it is a ponzi scheme ... and he doesn't trus in BTC, because it is intangible...etc, etc...

And it started here our discussion about "just Bitcoin", and lasted around 6 hours :)

I started to talk him about characteristics of BTC, and about the advantages of blockchain...

The most interesting thing for him was the finite supply of Bitcoin...He told me that 21 millions is not much, and it exist around 60 millions people who own more than 1 million $, and if this "ponzi asset" will be mediatized the price will go extremely higher, because of rich man and institutional investments... The second aspect he liked it, was that the "blockchain never forget", and every transaction is coded and encrypted, and anyone can see / verify it, because it is open source...

After the second bottle of wine, we decided to go home, but we agreed on our next meet when he will come in my city next time (in around 2 weeks), and we continue the discussion about Btc...

He was 100% skeptic about Btc before our discussion, and he become 70-80% skeptic after (atleast I think)...

As a last sentence, he asked me: if I will buy some BTC to gain more cash, we will be the same? And I replied with the golden sentence: "You buy Btc to make more $$$, and I buy Btc to exit my $$$"...we are not the same ;)

To be contiunued... I will make a post here about our next meet...hopefully very soon :)

It's interesting to know what other people find interesting about btc -- it's usually a very different set of things than what would occur to me, so it's a good opportunity to learn.

I look forward to the update.

For example, one of the most important thing about Btc for is that is divisible, and "transportable". If I want, I can travel anywhere in the word, and I need to remember just 24 worlds to own all of my "riches"... and I can pay a little as some cents in BTC, instead of gold / properties / etc :)

I will report with the continuation of story ASAP

never will be a "global accepted" payment method

I hope he remains skeptic because I don't want too many people grabbing at my future Bitcoin accumulation. When you guys meet next time don't discuss Bitcoin.

I’m impressed by how you invested six hours of your life patiently discussing all the Bitcoin benefits until your friend kinda got it xP

Like you said yourself:

Conclusion: BTC will change our life, we just need to be patient, and wait!

You get bitcoin at the price you deserve. Eventually, the price will not be a fiat number, but the value you're able to provide others with your time/skills/products.

Your friend is lucky to learn about bitcoin from you while he can still get some by selling fiat.

Thank you! I try to do my best, but it is not easy... English is not my native language, and sometimes I need to use Google translate... I started to learn English around 2 years ago, because it is necessary... And I was very stupid in the high school (like majority of teenagers), because I had an extremely good English teacher, but I said " I will not learning English, because it is useless" :) Right now it is harder to learn, but I don't give up!

So...I'm sorry for my grammatical and expression mistakes! :)

I've had a lot of discussions with these types of people, it seems that everything they know about Bitcoin is because they've heard it from somewhere where they claim that Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme if having really checked that information or having looked for alternative information to that, it's a shame, but hey, maybe one day they'll see the truth.

Yes, you're right! An in my opinion this is, because usually people are lazy, and don't want to document, to read about Bitcoin. Stay calm a little bit of time and thinking to understand this new decentralised money standard is the key I think
