True. I would add, education is fundamental and not appreciated enough, but the educational system is broken and part of the problems we are experiencing.

Main problem in my experience is that most don’t want to get educated. The whole system works against you if you try to
This is also my experience, sadly. Plus I‘m not really good at teaching (I mean like massive brute force teaching to dozens of students simultaneously). But what I find really rewarding is supervision of promising talented young people But funnily enough, they are themselves computer/physics nerds and bitcoiners 😂 Isn‘t this frustrating?
"Massive brute force teaching" 😂 Great wording! I think education should be something completely different than that. I definitely meet other people bc most are not in bitcoin. Not even the tech nerds as they learned in school (kids) or in the media (adults) that it's something bad and they should avoid it.
😂 I think this is just my Denglisch (Germanized English) that generates these weird wordings.
You’re right. Education needs a very flexible approach and individual mentoring. I still think that most of the learning is done outside the classroom and I (as a teacher) am just there to fuel students‘ curiosity. And I think something similar should happen to Bitcoin: if we push people to use bitcoin because it’s kind of „cool“ and a must, nobody will follow. Rather, we should stimulate people’s curiosity in Bitcoin, with tutorials, by pointing out holes in the classical financial system, but also by explaining that if you’re floppy with handling Bitcoin if will loose it.
Sadly true. How much of this is to be found in the educational system and the negative experiences associated with it. Avoiding that kind of situations could play a bigger role than not wanting. And fully agree, the whole system works against you. That is part of its purpose.
