 Good morning! I find it fascinating when you get hit with strong resistance to Bitcoin...particularly as I spend so much time in my own world. I see it in new tech in my industry as well. There’s often an “us vs. them” mentality that kicks in. 

I always like to ask what specifically worries them. What are they scared of...it's always interesting watching the emotions that come out of that. 
 people dismiss fundamental changes to the way of life because it requires them to adapt. and adapting is energy intensive  
 Well said! 
 I agree that it's fascinating, and I find that people normally don't have actual reasons for their strong feelings towards Bitcoin, and deflect to something else that's less relevant
