Today at my university class, the professor asked whats the point of bitcoin? The room was somewhat silent, then some responses about it being purely for speculation pop corned around the room. I sat in silence while he proceeded to slander btc and state multiple points of false information, such as originally the creator pegged bitcoin at 1 us dollar and never meant for it to be priced the way it is, also its backed by nothing, unlike this physical dollar in my pocket."

Finally, the professor said, If there is anyone here who still believes in bitcoin, stand up! The professor and the class of 300 people looked at me, shocked, as I stood up at the back of the classroom. The professor shouted, You FOOL!! If bitcoin had value, it could keep this piece of chalk from breaking when it hit the ground! He proceeded to drop the chalk, but as he did, it slipped out of his fingers, off his shirt cuff, onto the pleats of his pants, down his leg, and off his shoe. As it hit the ground, it simply rolled away, unbroken.

The professors jaw dropped as he stared at the chalk. He looked up at me and then ran out of the lecture hall. I proceeded to walk to the front of the room and share my faith in bitcoin for the next half hour. 300 students stayed and listened as I told of decentralized finance and the blockchain.

To be perfectly fair, economics professors regurgitate the same disproven theories
of Friedman economics both because of their willfull ignorance and to perpetuate the big lie to keep a broken system in the favor of the rich and powerful.

There is a reason why they probably would all hate bitcoin
