Saw a bitcoin machine at the mall last night. Kid behond me asks his dad what bitcoin it. Dad says "it's a digital thing people buy hoping the price will go up. It's like buying trading cards."

I almost turned around and told the kid that was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard anyone say about money, but I don't want the kid to lose faith in his dad while he's young. Especially when it's bound to happen later.
