"Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin is not something to invest in. It is stupid and anyone who thinks that fake money is real money, then they deserve to lose it all. You are just throwing your money away."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. A good friend of mine, a sound investor and a smart guy was completely blowing off Bitcoin. He continued, "Why would I ever consider investing in something like Bitcoin?" How was I going to change his mind?
Then I remembered what he said about Facebook when I told him back in 2008. My reply was simple.
"Remember what you said about Facebook when I first told you? You said that no self respecting adult cares what other people are eating for dinner. It is stupid and won't catch on. You also told me that the Facebook IPO was a horrible investment in 2012 and now you own 200 shares of it. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is how money will be exchanged online for tens of millions of people in just a few short years. You can either get into it now or buy in when everyone else is. The choice is yours."

I just got a text about an hour ago from him asking me where he should buy some Bitcoin and Ethereum. I told him to get started on Coinbase.
