I have had a very interesting week that has given me hope for the future. I will probably wind up posting more about it, but let me address your point.

This was a silly, half joking poll that I made in an airport while killing time for my flight. The reality of that picture of the bitcoin burger was more important.

As I mentioned here a few times, I took a road trip with my oldest friend. We are both boomers, but we met when we were ten years old. We are practically family. We know each other's wife, kids, cousins, etc. He was actually present when I bought my first bitcoin with my cousin in 2018. He made fun of us, saying the government will ban it.

On Sunday, we were watching football all day, drinking beer and talking. We both fell asleep as old men do. When we woke up we were hungry. I started googling around to see what was open, and I saw that Steak n Shake would be open for another hour. We jumped in the car. I said, "this place accepts bitcoin. I'll treat us both." He didn't believe me. He said bitcoin wasn't real money. He went to the kiosk first and found the bitcoin burger. He thought it was funny and said we both should get one. He watched me pull up the invoice, open my alby go wallet, and scan the qr code. Luckily it worked instantly! That's not always the case.

We ate our meal and HE started asking me about bitcoin. I have done this with other family members too. It is a valuable tool, and it tastes good. I could talk for hours about bitcoin with him (I have tried), but that one scan was more effective.
