Its hard to explain about Crypto. Specially if we want to explain it to "Conventional mindset" who get use with conventional money, a.k.a Fiat Money.

The question they often ask, something like this:

- where do the money (crypto money) come from?

- is it save?

-what is the benevit for someone / organization who create crypto money, if he / the organization give away the crypto, alowing others to mining it.. does it mean he / the organization lose the crypto?

To deal with them and answer the question, i use the analogi of "Monalisa Painting". In my case, it works. lots of my coleague change their mind and embrace crypto (i don't know if you try this methode to your neighborhood, will it work the same or not. At least we can try, right?!)

And this is "Monalisa Painting" explanation:

Imagine you (MR. X) have forest, with lots of wood supply to create frame for painting. At the same time, you also have pabric of canvas to put paiting inside it. with those frame & canvas, you create 1 million painting. one is monalisa, second is rembrandt, third painting is monet, and others is different painting. Now you have 1 million painting.

then you go to village whos residence doesn't know about art (assume they never even buy a single art produk. zero knowledge about art. To them, buying art is something ridiculous). You give 10 thousand paiting for free to some of residence, and tell them that this painting is expensive and worth more than you can imagine. and you succeed in convincing them. The first group who receive the free Painting (call it Alpha grup), tell others, second group, to buy the painting from them.  The second group (call it Beta Group) convinced and buy the painting from Alpha group.

suddenly, the painting become famous, Beta group sell again the painting to broader community. it become hype, the painting become expensive, and Beta Group become rich. Alpha group even richer than Beta.

well... you can guess what happen to you, MR. X.

With 990.000 painting in your storage, and now people around the world (not just the residence in village, because the news went viral across globe) want your paiting. 

Voila! you became billionaire.

***

To close this story, tell about a bankir who became rich by "only print lots of fiat money out of nothing".

Why you tolerate the bankir getting rich?? even though they create wealth out of nothing??!!

why can't you tolerate a new group who create a better wealth system (crypto)?

(and you can say it with convidence sight, while drinking cup of coffee to make things more dramatic. hehehe :)

note:

this is just my special explanation to my coleague. maybe the analogy about crypto is not entirely correct, pardon me. if you want to use it as explanation, do on your own risk :)
