As quoted above from the article as stated by the author, we can draw a conclusion that given a critical attention we will agree that nearly all the people that have adopted bitcoin, using it as alternative of fiat money are people who have an understanding of monetary system wholly and how bedeviling it (fiat) has been to citizens financial freedom and privacy due to intricacies of government regulatory policies surrounding it.
To be honest i was the one which have no problem with monetary system before i setp into Crypto. Because in crypto i understand the real problem with Monetary system and i made a topic on this too -->
To Understand the Potential of BTC, What we Must Know? The thing is, some people get to know about monetary problems in the learning phase of crypto but some get to know about it before getting into crypto. And in both cases it is good. Because, the more early one being get to know about risks, and problems in Fiat system the more early they will adopt an alternative which is BTC.
Your topic has the same meaning and feeling too because one will get to know the potential of BTC once they will learn about its uses cases then they will compare the use cases of BTC with Fiat one and there processors (minds) will tell them which one is best. But still, half of that numbers of people who know the alternative is BTC will still not to chose it because of the reputation. which has been built in there mind from a long ago. But, that reputation is now keep getting better as more and more companies, and governments started to adopt it.
