There are shitcoiners with legitimate confusion, and they might think that they already know about bitcoin or they know enough about bitcoin.. so frequently a person will not know what they don't know, so even smart people can get sucked into various shitcoin talking points without actually realizing that they have little to no clue in regards to what bitcoin is.

Another thing is that there likely are a lot of people who have heard of the word bitcoin, and they might think that they have some kind of a decent idea what it is, yet merely hearing the word and sometimes hearing some mainstream rendition of what it is, is not enough to actually realize actually what bitcoin is.. and so actually understanding ideas of sound money might be a bit more foreign to people than we presume such a topic as "common sense" when there are a lot of ways that people can get sucked into believing they know more than they do, and it may well be a good idea for some of them to actually spend a bit of time really studying bitcoin specifically.. whether it takes 10, 50, 100, 500 or 1,000 hours of study may well vary from person to person and the kind of source materials they are studying.

Some folks have a lot of difficulties distinguishing between good information and bad information, and they might actually believe the sources of their bad information and believe that their bad information is good information, and so when they actually come across some accurate and informative information about bitcoin, they might skeptically conclude that the good information could not be true since it conflicts with what they believe to be credible sources.

I was listening to a program earlier today about how the greedy companies are gouging consumers by raising their food prices, and so it can sometimes be difficult to realize that money printer go bbbbbrrrrrrr is way more blame worthy than what normies want to give governments more power to control prices - which surely does not seem to be a good solution, and I am not even anti-government, yet we likely should realize that it becomes problematic to have too many controls in place, even though maybe it becomes difficult to get rid of the controls .. so bitcoin and bitcoiners are going to sometimes end up being targeted as part of the problem rather than part of the solution... which still gets us back to either having information available but also having abilities to sort through good information versus not so good information... and we are all not going to agree.. but at the same time do we have rights and/or abilities to disagree or are we told what we are supposed to think and are we accepting of being told what to think.. and do we realize when we are being told what to think versus engaging in our own abilities to critically think about what might really be in our own best interests.
Many a times we have wrong idea about something without knowing the correct and complete information about that thing and fall into confused situation. Many of us have not been able to collect and master the correct information about Bitcoin yet, but we are carrying various misconceptions about Bitcoin in our minds.

There are many people who have a tendency to spread false and misleading information about a subject without knowing the correct and complete information about it. I think that acquiring knowledge or collecting information about a subject should be reserved only for the experienced and knowledgeable person of the society. Because, they never want to be misled by wrong information. Do you think so?

 My knowledge of Bitcoin is very poor. From where and how can I get the right knowledge?
