I think this is an especially American/Western feeling that I've heard described by others, as well. I was pretty hardcore gold-buggy libertarian before I found Bitcoin, but for many people it's a hard core re-evaluation of many things.
However, in the so called 'global South', people have been getting brutally violated by monetary bullshit for so long they have no problem understanding why Bitcoin exists. Their problem is getting any money at all away from their tyrannical elites.
