For concession part, you give points that your oponents bring up and try to refute them. Lets say you are writing about why dogs are better than cats... for concession part, you might say the following:

"Some, however, argue that cats are better since they are cleaner. However, dogs are still better since they are more loyal than cats".

Simply put to do a persuasive argument know your subject well not just your opinion of it but both sides and then explain it according to the outline, persuasive papers are very easy once you understand how to do them

This should help the other guy in the discussion on the topic of bitcoin.

He could not refute that bitcoin is haram and bogus money. He had no reasons, only loaded words, redundant definitions, and no argument to show how the promise would be kept or enforced or how the value of money is in the money itself.

Just because cats aren't needy, doesn't mean they are any less loyal than dogs.
