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!

Layman is not aware of the technical idea behind bitcoin, it's not just about payment method but much more than that.
As my grandparents were not aware of computers but they find it useful after they came to know about its importance.
Let our teenagers grow up and i am sure after some couple of years we will see a major growth in bitcoin community.

P.S I am a proud nerd.

yes, many Layman does not understand BTC, they are primitive, I see there are two indications why they do not understand BTC.
1. Do not want to study BTC
2. they don't care about technology, so they prefer primitive transactions.

not only grandparents but many teenagers people now do not know the BTC system.
every day I always socialize, sharing, or make small discussion with teenagers, and the majority of them do not know BTC.
so, nerd always gives us every knowledge.
