I think it is good that folks are discussing about Bitcoin, especially in rural areas.  No denying its catching on more and more, but we cannot forget it is not universally accepted yet. Good old cash is still #1 for most, especially out in the sticks.   

That said, prolly smart to keep the crypto conversations on the down low.  Some folks might wanna take advantage if they know you got skin in that game.  Not everyone's intentions are pure, so trust your gut if something seems off.
