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!

People should not all the time believe in whatever they saw and heard in a movie, you should also teach that to your children, people who created that movie are the real nerd, in the future the producer and the director will regret calling Bitcoin money for the nerd, because all the people in the world will eventually use Bitcoin.
