I have yet to meet someone who can conceptualize that fiat is just as meaningless as crypto. They have already made their mind up before I say that computational work enables trustless interactions. Their eyes glaze over if I mention that banks will invariably try to enrich themselves at your expense via fraud and a public ledger prevents that (sans a quantum computer). They couldn't give les of a fuck about a government's ability to freeze your assets and they couldn't give less of a fuck what I know. It would be like trying to explain diet and exercise to a normie. I've known that doesn't work for over a decade. Even if you make it and they ask, they're still just looking for easy gains.

If you're looking for advice, please heed mine. Do not ever try to explain something technical to someone who hasn't verified their commitment. You are wasting your time even if you like them. Do not tell people the extent to which you benefit from knowledge (how many lbs of muscle you gain, how many lbs of fat you lose, how much money you gain, how many girls you fuck) nor how much effort and sacrifice you make (how many hours of sleep lost, how many failed projects, how much blood sweat & tears, how many hours/wk you work). Unless you are blessed with someone who went though it with you, you are entirely alone in your suffering and success. People are there to enjoy their company and anything else is a fucking illusion of hormones, smoke, and mirrors.
