AliPay. Can any "e-currency" actually be described as "highly popular"? Sure Bitcoin is the most popular, but that doesn't mean that it's popular. Let's put it this way. My parents know what ApplePay is. They've never even heard of Bitcoin.

But are your parents spies? And if they are, how do you know they're telling the truth when you ask them about Bitcoin?
