The major benefit of crypto we seem to ignore

Let's take aside all the ups and downs of crypto for a second, I know we've been through a lot these last couple of months, but there's something great that crypto is doing for us that we seem overlook, which is becoming more financially literate. In my experience (and many other people I know), I had little to no idea how the world's financial system worked, the financial market, the big players, the bank system, the manipulations and so on. I'm no financial guru by any means now but at least I know more than I did before crypto because I was forced to do research.

Not to mention how it made me think about future financial plans more. I hope this was the experience for most people and it wasn't just a casino to them, because crypto isn't one.
