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.

Although I agree that the vast majority of people who have heard about Bitcoin do not understand what this is really about, it is also a fact that most of those who own it do so only for possible profit. Who do you think is the bigger problem? Those who do not understand BTC, or those who know well what it is about, but have never used it as a currency?

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 think the problem is deeper and goes back a long way when humans became slaves to the system, and today, unfortunately, they have turned into robot slaves who don't really want anything other than a bank card and a 4-digit pin. For such people, Bitcoin is simply unnecessary and too complicated, and they see it exclusively as a way to eventually profit - although most are not ready to invest in the long term because they still suspect that it is some kind of internet fraud that can collapse at any moment.

My advice is not to get frustrated with such things, because humans are truly unique beings who are the only ones on this planet who consciously work against themselves in every possible way they can invent.
