Your friend is wrong. When people are interested in Bitcoin because the price is up, you need to warn them, remind them that they don't understand it and ask they take the time to learn it. Get them 10k SATs off cashapp or something and get them a wallet.

Now is the time to be in your community talking seriously to businesses, charities, and people on the street about the "why" behind Bitcoin.

Price be high is the wrong reason. Short term thinking, is the wrong reason.
