Coworker today asked me if I know about bitcoin.

'Sort of.'

'Do you know how Bitcoin mining works?'

'You're gonna wanna have a seat, this may take a little while.'

I did at least have the good sense to back up enough to the matter of what is bitcoin, what's a hash function, and what's a node, and gotta say I think i didn't do half bad for a 15 min crash course for someone who really hadn't the foggiest idea.

She was surprised when I laughed at her hypothetical of 'so if you walk my dog and I'm paying you 5 Bitcoins'...

I did ask for that rate locked in in writing.
