I had no idea how little I understood traditional finances until I study them. I was taken aback by a video where I learned that the big-dollar is not backed by anything, that it really is just about trust in the state. I was amazed at how complex Bitcoin is from a technical standpoint, yet how simple it is to use. Comparisons to a microwave or the internet showed me that we don't have to understand what's happening behind the scenes technically – codes, hashes, nonce, blockchain, and the others. Just as the average population doesn't know how a microwave works, they just press a button and heat up their food. When you want to find information on the internet, you don't have to worry about how your device connects to the server and communicates in the background with the other side. You simply type what you're looking for, press enter, and there it is. You don't even realize the technical aspect of how money is leaving your payment card, and yet it is a widespread method of payment worldwide.
I totally agree with you, 100%! Also for me it's been kind of the same, and I mean that I used to simply spend some money, save other, and that was it, why? Because that is what 99% of the people do, and nobody ever told me there were way better ways to manage the money. When I discovered bitcoin, wow, it was like a life-changing moment because the more you learn about it, the more you start questioning the whole financial system, and that is probably the reason that nobody teaches some topics in schools. And I especially agree with your closing, thanking Satoshi, because besides whatever happens with bitcoin he already changed the life of people like you, me, and our families, because we can teach them what we learnt thanks to him.
