Hopefully, people on this forum see how cryptocurrencies can help us break out of this hypnotic cycle and start to change the world around us for the better. I don't think you need to be very knowledgeable in economics to see what is going on.
Sadly, I think you must have some basis in economics. Most simply, because at some level "economics" is a euphemism for "my personal worldview that is soooo important to me that I will doublethink before I will face evidence conflicting with what I want to be true."
