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. 
It’s 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 people’s thoughts and points of view on bitcoin. 

It's a real phenomenon indeed, although, it doesn't only occur with Bitcoin, it occurs with everything that is digital/online. From online banking to browsing the internet, the older generation has trouble when it comes to online or computer related work. Many people over 40-50 are not used to technology, while almost everything requires access to the internet.

Explaining Bitcoin to most of the people of older generations won't possibly change their view towards it, most won't understand its concept, others will think it's a scam or it's a utopia to become a millionaire. The root of this issue is far broader, the older generations weren't born with computers and all this technology we have now.
