The overwhelming majority of people will never understand Bitcoin

And they don't need to.

​

Whether through ignorance, hostility, propaganda, incapability or apathy, the game theory of Bitcoin is simply too much for the average person to bother pursuing.

​

I've been falling down the rabbit hole for ten years now and all along the way I've tried discussing it with people from all walks of life. I have friends who are engineers, C suite types, artists, developers accountants etc. None; not a single one, has actually ever truly groked Bitcoin. Some have dabbled in as an "investment", some have eschewed it from the start, some have become shitcoiners. Many, if not most of these people are significantly smarter and more accomplished than I am, in fiat terms.

​

But that's okay. These same people also don't understand fiat money either.

​

Sure they have a larger bank balance, nicer car, bigger house, and more frequent vacations, but that doesn't mean they actually understand how money works. They just know how to manage it well, and there's a huge difference between managing money and understanding it.

​

At the end of the day, when Bitcoin is globally accepted as the de facto asset for wealth preservation, lubing the gears of the global economy, these same people will be using it despite themselves, just like they do fiat now.

​

So don't let it get you down when your friend, SO, boss, ex, or that dude at the coffee shop turns their back on Bitcoin. They'll get there eventually. Be the change you want to see. Inspire others by living a great life and keep on Bitcoining you beautiful motherfuckers.
