What does it mean that I have no idea what Bitcoin is? Am I getting old?

Bitcoin is an attempt to create an alternative "virtual" currency outside the control of governments or central banks. I've always though it was a bit of a "utopian" capitalist project and now it all seems to be coming unstuck. Unfortunately, it appears to be people associated with the collapse of this effort who are jumping out of tall buildings rather than the fatcat bankers who are still raking in their bonuses worth millions while their banks are being rescued using billions of public money!
