I've been borrowing you "when the internet knocks..." schpeel when I get a chance to rant at someone new, and today I talked to a car dealer and his son. The difference in their demeanors was uncanny.

The father treated the topic of crypto like the stock market, reflected on his rise and fall, and began writing it off almost immediately, while the son was very interested and genuinely inquisitive.

When I got to the part about long distance calling being free now he huffed, as if to say "I don't know what world you're living in", when I quickly pointed out I speak to people scattered all over the globe daily for no charge.

He got up and left me to deal with his son while he went to speak to an older customer.

It isn't just that people don't know. They don't want to. They only see BIG CHANGE and how it will make things harder for them... and I agree with them. Those who aren't willing to get it together and take responsibility for their future are going to end up at the mercy of those who do. So they just close their eyes and wait for Nanny or Big Bro to tell them where to stand and wait their turn.
