I did have a chance to talk with a younger guy (40s) about BTC (and crypto), but I told him that I was BTC only, and to solicit opinions on alts elsewhere. He seemed genuinely interested, I will inquire later if he jumps in the pool.
He will probably go all in on poocoin after looking at alts.

My friend is a serious guy, he will likely ask various others and move slowly. (I am not all that serious, but do move slowly.) I did tell him to edge into any purchases, I should have mentioned JJG's Dollar Cost Averaging thoughts in regards to his budget, goals and financial means. He DID tell me he is OK with volatility and thinking long term, and I believe that.
He's not a programmer either -- I hardly know any of them, looks like I come from a different space than most here..
