He's too old to know or care. You're talking about people that don't use google here. I realise that telling this story here was probably not the best idea.
To the person who just said they hate people like that, there are plenty of people who don't understand bitcoin and are lovely, generous people who just want to not see other people lose their money. (Like JorgeStolfi CLAIMS to be doing, except he is doing it in entirely the wrong place. He might as well start an anti-smoking campaign in a room full of people dying of lung cancer.)
spooderman, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this story with us. I think it's great to see that he was showing interest at all and he had even heard of Bitcoin already! This shows how far we've come already, although there's still plenty of room for real adoption. I absolutely agree that older people often may not care about new technology, but are still lovely and in no way deserve being insulted for it.
