Lots of older people struggle to understand #Bitcoin.
“How can it be real money if you can’t touch it?”
I tell them that Bitcoin is weird just like the internet is weird.
They remember life before the internet and were skeptical that it would have much of an impact… even years after the arrival of the internet age.
Now all of them, even the most technologically unsavvy, have smartphones and use the internet on a daily basis.
Even though it is intangible, it still is *everywhere* and it pervades nearly every aspect of their lives… usually for the better… or, at least, for tremendous convenience.
I tell them that Bitcoin is just the internet of money.
You can’t see it, per se, but it is everywhere… and it is massively useful and beneficial to those who start using it.
Just like the internet was clunky and the butt of many jokes and skepticism (and lies) in the 1990s while the underlying infrastructure and use cases were being built out, so too is Bitcoin the butt of many jokes and skepticism (and lies) while the underlying infrastructure and use cases are being built out today.
Simply put, Bitcoin is better money for a better world… even if some folks don’t quite understand it just yet.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
