The reason why most people discard the idea of Bitcoin without much thought is because as we move into a digital age, "digital" has come to mean:
- quick to create
- easy to multiply
- easy to delete or destroy
I find when I OP someone, once I explain why Bitcoin was the discovery of digital scarcity which requires plenty of work to create and impossible to multiply or to destroy, most tend to get it. Or at least become more inquisitive.
This could be part of the answer as to 'How Bitcoin'.
