The thing is, that's the sell that Bitcoin has with the general public. Not an easy sell I'd say.
I think you're getting ahead of yourself...
The "general public" doesn't even understand that much yet. They're still calling it a Ponzi Scheme because it doesn't have a central manipulating authority or any fraudulent backing. They apparently don't know what a Poniz Scheme is, either, because that doesn't even make sense...
All the "general public" knows is that it's evil devil money for drugs and terrorz!! And they know this because their newspapers and TVs told them so, and they're still dumb enough to pay attention to newspapers and TVs...
There are a great many pre-requisites that the "general public" is refusing to even learn before the "sell job" you're talking about would even become relevant...
The bottom line that the "general public" would rather make excuses for failure than learn, and the TV and the Newspaper gives them those excuses, otherwise know as bullshit and lies. And they gobble it up because it means they can stay lazy and the status quo goes on. Big Macs and Football are all they care about. They're happy to be slaves as long as it is made "fair" by forcing everyone else to be slaves along with them.
It doesn't matter what the "general public" thinks or does. Us crypto nerds can take a path of our own manufacture whether anyone else figures it out or not.
