 What I've been doing lately is every time someone complain that cost o living is going up or that things are too expensive I disagree. I say that in fact everything is cheaper now. It take less time, less effort and we can make better stuff. I initially bring gold as an example and I say that whatever they are complaining about, when priced in gold is actually cheaper. When they ask me if I own gold I say "yeah, but not much. gold is shitty to own. I own bitcoin, I believe is way better ". It is interesting to see the reactions.
