I hope you realize this is a comedy sketch. It's not meant to be serious.

Pretty funny.

Like trying to explain the Internet to older people when I was younger.

The biggest critique? "Why are the letters green? What an ugly color." (referring to the ANSI coloring on the BBS I was on)

[Warren]

That was quite funny actually and probably how a lot of people feel about it when they try to understand how it works.

basically,

the public image of bitcoin:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's gone.

What? You mean Conan wasn't being serious? 

Pretty funny.

Exactly. It's like trying to explain the nature of emails in the early days.

That was quite funny actually and probably how a lot of people feel about it when they try to understand how it works.

Right? I can imagine viewers connecting with Conan's mock ignorance.

basically,

the public image of bitcoin:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's gone.

Judging by the comments on YouTube, many others interpret it the way you did.
