Yes that's why we create this sortof religion around Bitcoin. So that even the least educated is a problem to convince for fiat advocates.
The social layer is held up by people willing to be martyrs so that future generations may benefit from the existence of an unaltered Bitcoin.
Problem with religion is that people only remember the name of the book but feel insecure about the contents, trusting the word of whoever wears the tallest hat.
That's fine, the least educated don't have sway or wealth. Bitcoin doesn't ask much of them. They can just dogmatically reply 21 Million, no more, not running your software.
It's more of a passive defense. There are other active responses to specific attacks.
Yep. Math is math. But our brains and behavior are analog. Social incentives are a critical part of the story.
Absolutely yes. The culture needs to be ingrained into future generations to have a shot. It needs to become LAUGHABLE to suggest a monetary system where someone has control.
100%, and one of the reasons I push for better self-custody solutions so hard. Those systems have to be in place for this to be easily passed on and handed down to our kids over the years.
