I worked in a company that has a decent mixture of technical and non-technical folks.

I consider it like the DEFCON level.

DEFCON 5 - Technical people who were aware of Bitcoin speaking

DEFCON 4 - New technical people who were not aware of Bitcoin (we are currently here)

DEFCON 3 - Business people

DEFCON 2 - Non-technical people

DEFCON 1 - Bathroom chats (last time I saw this was around the $17,000 mark)

very interesting mental model. Coincidentally enough, I got request from janitor (very nice person btw) to help him to buy bitcoin when it cost about $18k. I explained him to do not to, but the fact itself was clearly alarming.

As a kid, our handyman told us to get out of the market in Fall '87. He enjoyed his work and was always driving a new corvette.

It's 2020, who isn't aware of bitcoin?

You'd be surprised, there's some people who still aren't aware and start asking some pointed questions when the news start saying Bitcoin reached new heights.

Be careful of people asking where to buy a large amount of Bitcoin... since they probably just re-mortgaged their house.
