PROBLEM #1: Most of your friends still see Bitcoin as a speculative investment that has no utility.
PROBLEM #2: Even if you wanted to show them Bitcoin being utilized for payments, they will quickly point out that there’s maybe only one or two odd shops around accepting it.
SOLUTION:
1. Bring your friends to your favourite local pub, get them a round of beers and tell them you just paid with Bitcoin.
2. When they won’t believe - show them your Lightning wallet with a recent transaction showing the pub’s name.
3. When they say “the pub doesn’t take Bitcoin”, show them your wavecard and tell them that you can still pay in Bitcoin, even if the merchant takes Euros.
