Back above $1K, and not a single Average Joe around me knows anything more about Bitcoin/blockchain than they did in 2013, or even seems to care. This is amazing.

Now I know why they call them "late adopters". I don't blame the really old, the really young or the unborn. I blame the older, middle-aged folks who have money to invest, but are just too plain ignorant or scared to see the financial change tsunami that is coming. By the time they finally look up, Bitcoin will be well north of $10K.

I remember my grandmother still writing physical checks for everything, 7-8 years after the rest of society had moved on to using the debit card. She finally used one a few years before she died, and I remember the look on her face.... she was blown away at the speed and convenience. Priceless.

I remember me getting on dial-up on the PC in my bedroom, when my parents though I was in there "hacking" ala War Games style. They thought the internet was and always would be just a toy for nerds.

I remember carrying around a clunky Treo smartphone (which was actually smaller than your average smartphone today), when literally *everyone* had crappy flip phones and thought that smartphones were only for nerds. Especially the women, lol.

Needed to buy a vehicle on Sunday this weekend, I live in hugely populated section of USA and offered him Bitcoin. He freaked and thought i was nigerian scammer or something said i have to bring cash and only after it is verified at bank with the teller will he sell me the vehicle.

Bitcoin is such a fringe tech.... nobody gives a shit and it is $1000 a bitcoin.... if anyone ever actually gives a fuck it will be worth $1 million a coin.
