>> "I would actually say its getting the general public informed. 75% of the US population are aging baby boomers. They can barely work an iphone, how the heck do you think they're ever going to accept cryptocurrency? Even with a ton of marketing, this is something that is completely foreign to 85% of the general population." You're saying 75% of the US population cannot work an iPhone? Or 75% are baby boomers?? Just so you're more informed next time you make up stats, less than 15% of the US population would be considered baby boomers.

"Baby Boomers make up 35% of the American adult population (Scarborough)." "By 2015, those aged 50 and older will represent 45% of the U.S. population (AARP)." http://www.immersionactive.com/resources/50-plus-facts-and-fiction/ http://www.immersionactive.com/resources/50-plus-facts-and-f... Ok so not exactly 75%, but I was a lot closer than the 15% you mentioned.

  If we take your first figure of 35% I am closer. If we take your second figure of 45% we are each 30% off. So yet again - stop making things up, you are not a lot closer. Also "By 2015, those aged 50 and older..." Some of those people wouldn't be considered baby boomers as that generation ends in 1964.
