I am surrounded by friends and family who ridicule btc as a scam and Ponzi scheme so I have avoided invested, explain why I should

I’ve looked into btc before (only the surface level) and have done a little dabbling on coinbase but nothing major. I want to invest more into btc but am hesitant and need some convincing because everyone I know tells me I’m an idiot. Why should I invest in bitcoin and why is a good idea?
