Bitcoin = Nerd money or not?

[ribowo76]

Maybe that could be an illustration, that there are still many out there, people who don't really understand bitcoin. So there are people who identify us with nerds or other things that are actually outside the context of bitcoin

[maxreish]

What a funny word to describe bitcoin as a nerd. And i laughed when I your kid told you that. But i guess they call it that way because it was bitcoin. I mean, it is cryptocurrency and now there are so many things we can do with the use of bitcoin. One of those is the payment method.

[jakelyson]

Bitcoin is not nerd money. You do not need to be a nerd to understand it or use it. The principle is very easy that everyone who has the interest to know it can do with very little time needed. Maybe because there are very few who uses it that when it is mentioned they thought it is for nerds only, thus calling it nerd money. But we all know it is not because all of bitcoin users I know ain't nerd.

If bitcoin is nerd money then officially am a nerd mate
Well I don't blame them for using that term on bitcoin because once you here you tend to gel more with your device or system more you might either be mining checking market cap, monitoring transcation etc

And j am a proud nerd also if bitcoin is a nerd money lol

And we don’t really knows whats behind that movie because why need to mentioned bitcoin and then being retracted by others

I believe thats intentional and thres someone from the production that favors bitcoin I suppose

Nerd money, nan taxable asset, launders money and in such a way bitcoin is represented with different names. There is nothing to complicate when it fulfills basic of providing financial freedom. To restrict its growth various methods were tried, it has overcome those obstacles with ease. True user take it as the best unlike its nerd or other features.

I recently watched the movie Goosebumps 2 with my kids and Bitcoin was once again mentioned briefly in this movie. The one boy mentioned Bitcoin and the other boy called it Nerd money.   <My kids turned to me and said, Are you a nerd?>

So it got me thinking, why would people label Bitcoin as Nerd money, when people use electronic payment options like PayPal every day? What feature about Bitcoin gives people this impression about Bitcoin?

The first thing that comes to mind is the technical IT knowledge that people need to understand the concept about this technology and also it's origin amongst very highly skilled programmers and developers in the IT industry.

I am definitely not a nerd, but I am more than willing to carry that label, if it means that Bitcoin should be part of my skill and knowledge set in this world.  

Bitcoin Nerds will rule this world! <Bill Gates is 100% proof of that>

Maybe the writers and the researchers of that movie didn't pay much attention to what does a Crypto Currency mean or what is the use of Bitcoin and just created their own concept and understanding about Bitcoin as nerd money, this shows that most of the people have a few knowledge or do not have any knowledge of what Bitcoin is. But anyways there is nothing wrong about being a nerd because most of these nerds are possessing minds that you can't find in an ordinary individual.

lol you guys are funny . do you think its cool to be called a nerd ? nerd is a word ofently used by bullies as seen on movies and t.v's   .  anyway  . bitcoin is not a nerd money because its not a money  .

bitcoin is a crypto and being a crypto is totally different from money because cryptos are being used for inivestment and other unique usage   that a money cannot possibly  do  .  bitcoin is being called by different names but that does not mean that they are true so dont take it seriously  .

[lyks15]

In our era today we cannot called bitcoin as an nerd money. Because all of us know how to use technology like cellular phones and personal computers. Long time ago the term nerd is used to the person who are so are so knowledgable in everything like in academic and technology. But know when you are knowledgable about technology you are a nerd but you are amazing. So I am not agree in that terms.

[bhabygrim]

Well they call it nerd money because back in the early days of bitcoin only those who are really into cryptography are investing in it or those who are geeks .
For them it is too much the information and how this whole thing works so they think of it as a nerd money.

[Viscore]

Nerd in my understanding is a positive statement, that means this money is for smart people.
It cannot be denied that only few of the potential users of bitcoin are using it, so people does not see this regular or normal.
I would be fine if they will call me nerd, even my kids as long as I am making money on it.

[cizatext]

Nerd money if bitcoin is refer to as nerd money then we are all nerd cause bitcoin is transforming our life and I will say it lack of understanding that will.make any one want to label a great technology as nerd and at that it left for them and that is they own opinion.

yes, maybe it's because of the lack of the number that uses bitcoin every day so rarely do people know the existence of bitcoin from what is called a nerdy but even though the value of nerds 1 btc is quite large. Maybe bitcoin is actually called nerdy money, but it needs to be reaffirmed, even though it's called nerdy money, users aren't nerds

[thesmallgod]

I wish I could have known bitcoin very well especially in 2012 when I am very much active online and finding online job on the internet. Well, this is the name you will call something you know little about or you have not taken time to understand what it is. I stumbled upon bitcoin when I was still an active crowdworker on crowdflower then. The worst part of this is that I have been redirected to bitcointalk forum through google so many time and still did not know there was immense opportunity in crypto.

[dmty.0809]

Bitcoin comes as one of the digital currency solutions. Bitcoin is a cash system that synchronizes throughout the internet. So, everyone can access the same cash account in real time regardless of who and where he is. So bitcoin isn't nerd money.

[Bowly88]

I don't think that we can be called or labeled as a nerd because the definition of being a nerd does not suit as all. It means that it depends on the person. Me myself, even though I am computer literate, even though I know mining, even though I know that I can join bounty campaigns so that I can earn money, even though I know the best exchange that allows me to trade multiple times at fast speeds, even though I know hodl and I don't sell bitcoin out of nowhere because I look at the statistics, it is still far for me to be labeled as a nerd. A nerd is someone who doesn't have a social life and it doesn't suits me. I am not a unattractive or unstylish either.

No, obviously people who uses bitcoin generally are not a nerd. If you will try to find the definition of a nerd, it doesn't suit as all. The biggest factor that validate my statement is that a nerd is an introvert person and lacks social skills, who surely doesn't suit as all, like me. I am a good social person. I usually talk and engage to social activities, which a nerd doesn't do. For example, when I am bored, I play on a gaming site . I have a great regular playmates there whom I played and talk with. When sometimes I have problems there, I usually call customer care and have no problem dealing with them, talking to them what problems I have encountering and what they or I can do to deal with that problem. A nerd can never do that, he usually weaken when he or she will talk to people even though it is only a call.

Have much money is better for starting invest in bitcoin and keep it more use full than without money and needed time to get much profit with bitcoin as investment or trade, just waiting when bitcoin will raised up and have higher price again.

For the most part, you're right, nerds are usually relatively anti-social with a difficult time interacting with most people, but you could also consider nerds to be people who are just very technologically inclined, as most of the community is. Nerds are kind of colloquially known as people who are very good with computers in general, not necessarily anti-social.

As for whether Bitcoin is "nerd money" or not, I'd argue that it kind of is, in the sense of nerds being tech-savvy individuals. Not a lot of people without at least some kind of interest in computers will get into Bitcoin, despite the fact that it is probably easier today than it has ever been to get actively involved with Bitcoin in the past. You have apps, online wallets, basically every tool at your fingertips that you'd have with "traditional" banking. All that has to happen is for people to actually try and get involved with the community. Of course, that's somehow "too difficult" for some people.

[Siren]

If thats the case then Craig Wright and the rest of he gang is Nerd?lol

Thousand of whales are holding and using bitcoins means all of them are nerd?nag thats an absolute joke mate.

We are dealing here just to profit and benefits from what this cryptocurrency gives us in future so i dont think that it is reasonable to call us a nerd.we are not one instead we can be called as Genius because we trust this one

[zeingrind777]

Bitcoin was created and developed by nerds, they are very experts in programming and IT. But, Bitcoin is not nerdy money. Whether it's a Nerd or not, anyone can use Bitcoin.
