I like the concept but not the idea, Gigi idea makes more sense because it goes towards those who don't accept Bitcoin.

but this is more attacking your friends for spending HIS MONEY.

Thanks for taking your time and giving a honest opinion. I really appreciate it :) I guess maybe the tone I used is offensive but that was not the intent - I rather wanted it to be about learning the importance of saving in bitcoin, not to make fun of someone's purchases. Would you say that something can be done to make it more encouraging or you think the whole idea should be scored out from the start?

Kudos on taking the constructive criticism so well! I agree that an attacking tone may set off a defensive reaction among friends you share this with. I think approaching it from a more positive standpoint would be appropriate. Maybe something along the lines of depicting regular everyday items of different values like a toaster, an iPad and a car and how they have changed over time in BTC terms and Fiat money terms (USD vs Indian Rupee vs Turkish Lira, for example). I like the idea of having them on business cards to hand out at restaurants, or to friends.
