@afrochicks: dealing with IRL crypto skeptics at a wedding dinner

A poster asks how others handle skeptical friends after being pressed on crypto at a pre-wedding dinner, where they had mentioned a trip to Cannes. The guest who worked in finance questioned them on crypto use cases beyond "ape NFTs," why people still invest after Facebook's failed metaverse spend, volatility, daily users, advantages over normal banking, the value of crypto social media when TikTok already pays creators, and paying for dinner with stablecoin. The poster says they think they passed the exchange and found the different perspective eye-opening, though they note that people their own age they usually talk to about crypto have been very interested.
