I recently watched the movie Goosebumps 2 with my kids and Bitcoin was once again mentioned briefly in this movie. The one boy mentioned Bitcoin and the other boy called it Nerd money. Roll Eyes

So it got me thinking, why would people label Bitcoin as Nerd money, when people use electronic payment options like PayPal every day? What feature about Bitcoin gives people this impression about Bitcoin?

The first thing that comes to mind is the technical IT knowledge that people need to understand the concept about this technology and also it's origin amongst very highly skilled programmers and developers in the IT industry.

I am definitely not a nerd, but I am more than willing to carry that label, if it means that Bitcoin should be part of my skill and knowledge set in this world. Grin

Bitcoin Nerds will rule this world!

I definitely do not think anyone who uses bitcoin is a nerd. People study road codes and learn to drive their cars. People open accounts at the bank and learn to use ATM to withdraw their money. And even so, these people are not nerds. I'm not nerd, but I use bitcoin, many merchants that accept bitcoin as a means of payments are not nerds

being named "nerd" money would be a blessing for bitcoin, its just the money of a certain group of people
