An intelligent friend had been dying "to talk to me about bitcoin," so we did. I was all prepared, but not for his first question: "*Which* bitcoin should I buy?"
:boggle:
It was an instructive lesson to me about where normies are starting from. They don't start wanting to fix the money; they're trying to not miss out on a wave. It wasn't too hard to parlay his question into a discussion about bitcoin's properties vis-à-vis shitcoins, and why those properties make bitcoin money.
