Sounds like a fun contest. You should tell them that the $US dollar they value so much has not been backed by anything since the 70's when we went away from the gold standard. The federal reserve basically determines when and how much money is in circulation. The only thing keeping it afloat is trust that $20 will still have the same purchasing power two weeks, two years from now. However, we both know that over time it loses value because it is inflationary, where cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, has a limited supply and will stop being produced at 21 million. The reason why crypto is so great is exactly what they said, it comes from no government. It is a peer to peer decentralized currency, that is proven through cryptography. It's one of those things you have to just keep learning and trying to show them through facts and evidence. Even then many will deny, but that is the way the world works. Thanks for watching @roundoar03. We need to have another meetup in the fall before winter comes!

I agree! That was a lot of fun! I will discuss with my brother @intothewild when he is back in town and maybe we will plan something. Or better yet you can come up to our annual Gangestadfest on September 16th. Pig Roast, Live band, beer, friendship and a great time all-around! Bring a tent and camp over night. Its in Orono at my mom's house with 7.5 acres. Always a great time!
Well that just sounds like a blast of a good time! I will check my schedule!
