When i first heard of Bitcoin back in 2010/2011 thats exactly what I
thought it was, a kind of token system for gaming.
I agree that its the technical aspect of bitcoin which gives the impression
that only computer geeks and nerds would be into it.
Paypal for all intensive purposes is just a website.

If bitcoin is nerd money then officially am a nerd mate 
Well I don't blame them for using that term on bitcoin because once you here you tend to gel more with your device or system more you might either be mining checking market cap, monitoring transcation etc

I recently watched the movie Goosebumps 2 with my kids and Bitcoin was once again mentioned briefly in this movie. The one boy mentioned Bitcoin and the other boy called it Nerd money. 
So it got me thinking, why would people label Bitcoin as Nerd money, when people use electronic payment options like PayPal every day? What feature about Bitcoin gives people this impression about Bitcoin?
The first thing that comes to mind is the technical IT knowledge that people need to understand the concept about this technology and also it's origin amongst very highly skilled programmers and developers in the IT industry.
I am definitely not a nerd, but I am more than willing to carry that label, if it means that Bitcoin should be part of my skill and knowledge set in this world.
Bitcoin Nerds will rule this world!
