Bond guy. Bitcoin enthusiast.

Been able too. I’ve never been on in a different manner. Can’t remember if you had to go to profile or what.

I’d have gotten away with it too if not for those meddling kids and their dog…

Thanks for the zap, who ever you are.

I was confused and politely ended the conversation…. Then it dawned on me that old boy had conflated #bitcoin and the coinstar machine that counts your loose change.

We are still so early.

I responded that I knew just enough to be dangerous and asked what he was struggling with…. His main concern was that the fees were too high. I didn’t think that he was talking about transaction fees as much as the on-ramp conversion fees to buy #bitcoin. I then went through how adoption and competition would drive down those fees, etc… and how I used to pay $15 a trade on etrade, then it went to 10, then 7, then 5, now zero…. I thought I was making good headway and using valid arguments. (2/n)

There’s a old man that works at my local grocery store. He’s pushing 80, if he’s not already there. He mainly collects the carts and talks.

One day, I’m loading groceries into my truck and he asks me, “so what do you know about this #Bitcoin stuff?” (1/n)

How do you post an image here? Explain it to me like I’m 8… so my son can read it and show me.
