I had an interesting conversation today:
the person was well informed about bitcoin, even made a clear distinction between bitcoin and shit-coin. Also saw the potential as a store of value. But had doubts that bitcoin would be able to assert himself as a medium of exchange.
With the following arguments:
I quote more or less close
"My life experience tells me that people are collectors. Once they have decided on one thing, they want to accumulate more of it. With the cap in bitcoin of 21 m., I can't imagine that this will be enough for everyone. In the event of an currency-collapse, people will look for something that is not (so) limited."
The main concern was that bitcoin could be unsuitable for “smaller purposes”.
When I asked, it turned out that this person didn't know much about the unit satoshi, so even less that there were 100 mio. per coin of it.
The person then also said that he would look into this aspect in more detail.
The fact is for me:
The perception of "normies" is dominated by BITCOIN. And the figures are now so impressive, overwhelming, almost deterring for the observer who is not deeply involved.
Even if he is looking for a safe-haven for his funds.
May be, we must make it more obvious that the proverbial cigarettes as medium of exchange after the currency-crash are the SATS.
In short - my impression was:
the person had come a long, long way, but 50 meters before the finish line he had lost his way mentally, for some reason he was no longer running in a straight line.
