The response I always find interesting is when people seem to think crypto is "a scam" because the markets can swing so wildly.
I like to respond with the question "do you think Amazon and Dell are scams, as well?"
Blank stare
Both Amazon and Dell stock was as much as 50X (or more) from their lows, at one time or another.
Bottom line — I suppose — is that you have to believe that crypto is going to be a permanent part of the financial landscape, going forward.

When they here "Amazon" they think that because it is established now, it was always safe - but even that has dropped 40 odd percent in the last 6 months. :D
