This is actually quite good and definitely has a broader applicability than the grandparents. I find it quite challenging to give people a fair explanation of what bitcoin is. I've been told more than once that I appear to have some emotional attachment. This is true, I am extremely excited by the concept of a true free market global currency. But it does tend to make others dismiss it more easily. Maybe I should try to stick to this infographic approach next time I talk about it (probably tomorrow. .. knowing me).

the reason for "our" emotional attachment is that money in general is an emotional topic. some people even hate to speak about money or they are afraid of touching it or they leave it on their bank account until it is too late... (greece...cyprus...).
is also a very political topic. there is a phrase:

"money makes the world go round"

now we have bitcoin and took the nations state abitily to influence this money. why can anyone not be emotional when he understands that ?
