I'd say the fastest way of making someone have a bad view of Bitcoin is to make them buy something with Bitcoin.

I've actually had to buy Bitcoin in order to pay for something that was about $20. Talk about a hassle and fees upon fees.

I've paid tuition twice abroad. Once it took days, multiple forex/bank accounts, and had several annoying surprise fees. The second was in BTC and was settled in five minutes, directly.

It's been said before but the experience is a lot like writing an email versus a letter.

Completely unrelated to what the parent was saying.
