Maybe I'm the last one to realize this, but I just thought it was pretty interesting.
you're not the first, but definitely not the last...
I am very surprised by the people who I'd think would know about BTC but still don't. I met with an old friend recently who:
1. is a brilliant engineer,
2. works in the high-tech sector,
3. is very interested about global economics, the Fed, money, etc,
4. is very keen on technology that can shift our social structures,
5. is young and has discretionary income to invest for his future.
But this person only had a tertiary understanding of bitcoin (until our meeting a few days ago).
So now, I presume he goes to his lab, shows all the others his Blockchain app and 0.1BTC I gave him, and then this gets a few more people hooked.
And this is happening every day in cities all over the world.....
