But before then bitcoin will be made illegal. Your friend will point that out and be like "but isn't bitoin illegal?" and you will say "yeah, that's why it's illegal, its better than what the gov has and the gov doesn't like that. Then bitcoin will be even more cherished, bitcoin or monero. But you need to have a way to get some or have some before that happens.
