It wont be called that once everybody is holding it and using it as their everyday currency. Smiley
I think back when the very first iteration of internet money was introduced. They called it just that too. Cheesy

Bitcoin is sometimes termed as "Nerd money", because for elderly and middle-aged people the concept of crypto can be a bit difficult to grasp. Internet money (Paypal, Visa.etc) is not as complex as Bitcoin and therefore there is no point in comparing them with BTC. But as the old generation dies out, this hesitation for crypto is going to vanish.
agreed, it might be called nerd money just because not all generations can grasp it very well. I have a friends here who have the same ages with me (~20), even though they dont have any idea what bitcoin is, they still can learn and adapt it well and don't have any significant problem.
