We are still so early

quoting nevent1q…h9vj

I was chatting with the fiber internet installer the other day, I mentioned how crazy inflation was, he agreed and started talking about the government printing money and how the fiat dollar was done.
I was like, he gets it!! And then he said, ‘yeah it’s all going to crypto, do you know how fast XRP does transfers’. I said, XRP is not centralized, it is a security. He said, ‘no, it’s decentralized but the government wants it centralized.’ I said, no, it has a group of people, a foundation and pre-minted coins, the code can be changed, etc.. Bitcoin is the only truly decentralized digital asset.
He said, ‘Bitcoin was created by the CIA, so it’s government owned already’…. I said, ‘that is not a fact, that is a conspiracy theory’. He went back to how Ripple had faster transaction times… I said ‘Thank You, bye 👋’…
