Topic: People Are Not Nerdy Enough - page 7. (Read 842 times)
One problem that I can see is that bitcoin isn't really a good topic starter especially in a casual conversation, I think it's just that some people just don't know what they're talking about anymore, they do understand but I think that comprehension and sincerity on their communication is the real problem, conversation is a two-way street though so if you are the one that doesn't know what you're talking about then it's the same problem.
Most people in general don't even understand how money works — how do you expect them to understand how a decentralized digital currency could potentially overtake their local currency — a currency that they've been using since they're born?
"Rome wasn't built in a day" and we should be grateful for the level at which Bitcoin is growing right now. You called it 13 years, did you know how many projects have failed in centuries and many more that have lasted centuries but have not gotten 1/100 of Bitcoin's achievement? There are many assets that have lasted thousands of years but do not have the value and adoption of Bitcoin, you can't just force it on people at once.
Bitcoin speaks for itself, let it continue to do so. Time and the pain of missing out would force many others to adopt it.

Yes, I am complaining that people are not nerdy enough. It's been 14 years since Satoshi published his white paper and the vast majority of people still don't understand what Bitcoin is and how to use it. Sure there are many people buying Bitcoin on crypto exchanges and speculating on it.
However, the average guy on the street that I speak to, and even many people on crypto forums still don't understand Bitcoin's potential as a virtual commodity, or it's potential to create an alternative to Fiat economies. Maybe the problem is deeper than just a lack of understanding about the technology? Maybe it's a lack of understanding about economics as a whole? How many people are economists?
I understand that my frustration might be due to the fact that I am coming from a very privileged position. What are your thoughts on this?
