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. 
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.
Bitcoin Nerds will rule this world!

If they call it Nerd money they do it because only smarter people understand how bitcoin work... How can you explain bitcoin to someone who doesn't even understand internet? How can we explain bitcoin to people who think internet is Youtube, Google, Facebook, and Twitter? or how could we explain bitcoin to the man who saves his bills under the bed? So, bitcoin is not nerd money, that's a term who ignorants gives, we can say bitcoin is the Smarters money because our logic doesn't crack when we hear about decentralization while 75% of humans thinks that's impossible.
