I mean, maybe you're in a repressive regime and really need a way to fight the system. But I'm guessing you just have faith in crypto ideology. Either way, have a great day!

Lol. Permissionless payments certainly have utility. Making it harder for governments to freeeze/seize your assets has utility. Buying stuff the government disallows, often illegitimately, has value. Currency that can't be inflated has value.
Any outside of pure utility, they have tons of ideological reason to exist outside scams and fraud. Your inability to imagine or dismissal of those is telling as to your close-mindedness.
Shouldn't you have already moved on to AI hype? The fact that you're still worshipping crypto is telling as to your close-mindedness.
Alternatives: "can we talk later, I'm really busy with ___."
Or in a work setting, "I'm in the middle of something, do you mind sending an email?"
Social settings, excuse yourself to the bathroom, they'll move on.
If you don't like the conversation, "do you mind if we talk about something else?".
There are tons of ways to wrap up or avoid conversation. The more honest you are the better. And take note of how others gracefully end conversations with you and use those phrases too.
Please explain how bitcoin can be inflated
And recognizing a movement has ideological reasons while making no claim as to the strength or rationality of those reasons has nothing to do with faith
Make up a stable coin and pretend it has real money behind it while refusing to submit to an independent audit.
Any other requests, buddy?
