Nowadays the identity of bitcoin is known well only amongst people, who are pretty much into the computer technologies and crypto-world. Others, especially the elder generation (people from 40, for example), imagine bitcoin as something mysterious, fake and dangerous, though it is not.
Its technological contents are more than real and very helpful for the modern world. So, in terms of this situation, I would highly appreciate your help with coming up with easy and understandable lines for changing peoples thoughts and points of view on bitcoin.

Just because you have two friends that are in their twenties and they are into bitcoin and your father is not it doesn't mean you have to generalize.

Just an example, Gavin should be around over 50 if I'm not mistaken right now.
Also the other supposed "father" of bitcoin Szabo should he also be far over 40 as he graduated in 89.

Actually most of the guys that have been involved in the first stages of bitcoin are more over 40 than below 40.
And as Danny said, I know guys that are interested in BTC who are over 30 but I don't have a single aquitance that is around 20-25 and that has shown more than faint interest in BTC

Got the impression that crypto is indeed predominantly a millennial thing. The older generation (40+) doesn't tend to dive into new technologies immediately; we've seen that with mobile phones, the WWW and now with cryptocurrencies. Perhaps you could 'coax' people into crypto by telling 'em certain organizations already have committed to this new phenomenom.

Steve Jobs was 50 when Apple startd working on the Iphone and 52 when the first one was launched.
