 Debating a communist on the merits of bitcoin is so tiresome…. I now understand Satoshi’s famous quote “If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry”

Has anyone else ever dealt with this? This person’s main counter-argument always seems to fall back on the energy use FUD..

 Yep, not worth it. You can't fix their worldview. Has to happen from within

 Yup 👍 of course. The commie Marxism stuff has ‘em hard. 

Try explaining flared gas 🤪 

We boil the oceans, it’s volatile, the fed is bipartisan, blah blah blah you will hear it all. 

No good deed goes unpunished. That’s why we all get the price we deserve.

 Debate merits of money. Otherwise mining money is wasteful.

 No. Because I don;t try to evangelise. #Bitcoin doesnt need to succeed in a given time frame. In fact it's better if it becomes quantum resistant before the masses get here, don;t you think?
