Meanwhile one of my younger friends in his 20s can't seem to understand Bitcoin. He thinks it's some kind of pyramid/Ponzi scam and that "the government" will "shut it down". Meanwhile he alternates between Mom's couch in Toronto and Dad's winter place in Thailand trying to get rich playing online poker. All this for a kid with a tested IQ over 180. Go figure.
Age has nothing to do with it. Mental flexibility counts a lot more.
Wow. A poker player with an IQ over 180? Very surprising he does not "get" bitcoin. The game theory beauty of Bitcoin alone should captivate the thinking poker player.
In fact many of us here came in through that door. My mining rig was the Seals with Clubs client.

Also... I am not among the young here.
