Yeah and it could be a credibility thing too. Why would they take financial advice from someone poorer than them? (Even though I don't present bitcoin in terms of investing, that's what most people preconceived notion of it is)

Makes sense. There is a game and they've done well playing it. Upending that game is not an appealing option.

The Pleb Economist #4: I orange pilled my class today

I think it's fairly generalizable.  I've done a similar approach to talking about Bitcoin with regular adults too, and got similar reactions. 

But I'll tell you who I get the most frosty receptions from: People who are already highly educated and financially successful.  In my experience, these are the people who are the least curious about Bitcoin, or who feel like they already know how to judge it.
