Yesterday I was at a jewelry store buying my sister a graduation present. The store owner only wanted to accept cash, no Venmo or Zelle. I didn't have enough cash on me at the time, so I offered to pay him in Bitcoin.

His response was all too familiar, a little chuckle and then an explanation that he doesn't want any Bitcoin because he can't hold it in his hands.

Is there any way to get the concept of digital money through to boomers or is it not worth the effort?

Perhaps point out that it’s the same with CashApp and Venmo - digital dollars that you can’t touch

“And just like digital dollars, bitcoin can be exchanged/withdrawn as dollars .. but really, the problem that Bitcoin is solving is to protect your purchasing power

Noticed how your dollars are buying a while lot less the last few years? That’s because they just create/print more of them; but with bitcoin the total supply is fixed so it’s the opposite- your purchasing power improves with bitcoin
