Yup, but the far majority of the people are only here to earn money. Bitcoin's decentralized aspect and the technology that powers everything are not of any importance to them. Browse through various banks accepting Bitcoin type of threads, and you'll see how many people like the idea of banks incorporating Bitcoin. Certain people prefer to remain a slave of the old corrupted system it seems...

People get lazy when they are comfortable.
If you already have a good life and food and a house, you will continue to use banks because it works.
The only people that want to change the system are those that are very desperate, or very forward-thinking.

I agree with the very desperate part, but I haven't yet met forward-thinking people who are desperate. Desperation comes from lack of vision that narrows down options for ones future.
And bitcoiners aren't about changing the system. They are about putting themselves on the spot of the "alpha-leeches". They dream of buying an artificially scarce virtual currency, so that one day others will have to buy it from them for a much higher cost, while they themselves get richer without any work or skills that contribute society. Bitcoiners have the same moral fiber as "banksters". Only difference is that they lack the education and skillset needed to leech successfully enough to satisfy their materialistic urges.

Like in all revolutions, we are here to take place of current elites as their money become obsolete.
