The Old Man Who Laughed At Crypto 👴
I was standing in line at the bank.
An elderly man noticed the Bitcoin logo on my phone case. He chuckled.
“So… you boys still buying imaginary money?”
I smiled. “Some of us are.”
He laughed again that slow, warm laugh older people have when they’ve seen enough cycles to stop pretending they’re surprised by anything.
“When I was young,” he said, “people laughed when someone paid with a card instead of cash.”
That stopped me. He wasn’t mocking Bitcoin anymore. He was remembering.
Every generation thinks the next innovation is ridiculous. Until it becomes ordinary. Then it becomes expected. Then you forget it was ever strange.
He walked away before I could ask another question.
Funny how the wisest thing I heard that day came from someone who didn’t even own crypto.
So tell me what technology are people laughing at today that they’ll use tomorrow?
