I wonder how many people in crypto remember dialing out on a phone, or waiting for a dial tone. Do people still "dial-a-pizza"?

Sometimes, when I have to explain to someone about crypto compared to Fiat and why it is a superior form of money, I tell them to imagine themselves 40 years ago and to imagine they still have one of those dial phones hanging in the wall. The phone breaks and they call the company to come and fix it. Then the technician comes to find out about the problem and he tells us he needs to take the phone to the workshop to fix it but he will temporarily lend us a new phone he uses, and hands out a smartphone.

Next week he comes back with the dial phone fixed, sets it in the wall again, and requests us for the smartphone he gave us the week before, Would we give it back after using it and discovering all the amazing capabilities it has compared to the dial one?

People do not realize Crypto is not a stock, it is a protocol, a superior technology that is way better than the medium of exchange we have been using in the past decades. First, because it is fast reliable, and programmable, and second because it is decentralized.
