I was talking to the owner of the local restaurant about bitcoin and he was considering accepting it. He likes that the fees are minimal compared to his credit card service, the no charge backs, the fact that the currency is not a government currency that is built to lose value, how he can send it all around the world within seconds.

But then he asked "is there any new development"?

I said not much, just some usual improvements at a stable pace as necessary for a developing new currency.

He immediately kicked me out of his restaurant and told me to never return.
