I completely agree with the OP. No offence to anyone on this forum but sometimes I think it should be renamed "nerdcoin". The technology and folklore behind Bitcoin are fascinating, and the investment potential is alluring, but the practical uses so often seem completely ignored.

Even if you look at "introduction to Bitcoin" videos on YouTube, it's all about decentralisation, the blockchain, mining, cryptography, etc. .. when in fact a layperson really just needs to be shown how you can instantly transfer "cash" between cellphones, or over email, etc
