What are common FAQ you experience about Bitcoin and how have you answered them?

I'm compiling a list for myself as I come across people truly interested in learning about Bitcoin. I have long given up trying to orange-pill people out of the blue.
At some point, I'll be meeting with my mom's husband soon and his very rich boss, both interested in learning a lot about it. I'm hoping to compile a good list of already-answered questions that I can give them once the meeting is over.

The questions and answers in a conversation with a nocoiner will depend on the true interest of the latter in Bitcoin. The most recurrent one will always be, in my opinion, THE FLUCTUATION OF THE PRICE. In that sense, the explanation will be based on what they know about money, if they know anything at all because most of them have and use money but have no idea, so a good start is to read (or review) the book Bitcoin Pattern, for me a little gem. Afterwards, if they are really interested, they will realize that to understand Bitcoin, a conversation is not enough. Another issue is that you can define what Bitcoin is? in the simplest way possible. And another suggestion is to know how Bitcoin solves a problem that they have or see.
I hope you have success. It is always good that more people embrace Bitcoin, but if they don't want to later remember
BETTER, MORE BITCOIN FOR US

I should have figured you'd already have a lot of these answered 😂. Thanks, Darth.

The question I answer the most is that bitcoin has no intrinsic value. So I answer: the intrinsic value of bitcoin in certain contexts is already greater than that of gold or the dollar due to its distinctive characteristics and properties: for example, it is possible to carry out international transactions without having to go through the banking system and, consequently, without leave a trail that is easily followed and monitored by governments.

My response to the intrinsic argument is something more like this:
Very few things have actual intrinsic value. Sunlight and water are some of the only things on earth that have naturally-occurring value to all living things because they wouldn’t survive without it. Food (used generally) could be considered to have intrinsic value for the same reason. Outside of that, each individual human values things differently, so the value each individual human gives something depends on its usefulness to them. Some people may consider gold valuable as a money, some may find it valuable in electronics, others may not find it valuable at all.
