Just tried to explain crypto to my friend's parents. They responded by telling me it's a pyramid scheme.

Last night, after a few shots of tequila, my friend and I started talking about our crypto holdings. His parents overheard us and joined the conversation. After a long discussion about the differences between regular money and crypto, they told me it was "bullshit, bitcoin could never reach 100k. Mining sounds like a pyramid scheme." After trying my hardest to put it in simple terms and to reference posts and articles for more accurate info, they still refused to understand.

What can I say to make people comprehend the future value of crypto? Without sounding like a salesman lol
