The neighbour is aware I’m in to Bitcoin so asked my wife some questions about it. Luckily my wife is extremely knowledgable and a very eloquent speaker about Bitcoin having listened to me every night go on about it for nearly 4 years.\n\nThe neighbour asked:\n\nHow can somebody make up a currency and just make money out of thin air. Not even the government can do that.\n\nMy wife started to explain that is exactly what governments do, but the neighbour interrupted her to say, “But we have the gold standard?”\n\nLuckily my wife is well versed in history and Bitcoin. The conversation went well. \n\nHowever, it blew the neighbours mind and she asked my wife to stop talking because it was too much for her to absorb, while acknowledging that everything was wife was saying was indeed correct. \n\nShe remembered the government printing money during the pandemic and also in 2008 after some prompting.\n\nThe pill has been taken, let's see how long before she is fully awake."}
