As I say, Bitcoin is a solution to a problem many don't think/know they have. This is the clear example, I thoght the same as you when I read that comment in the chat, but that is where we are right now.
IMO people won't get it becaus is a long way and requires a re-writing of deeply embedded ideas, like the "gov is here to help you", "gov will defend you". I think Ideas as basic as such are hard to change for the same reason is hard to change the fundations of a 20-story bulding already built.
