I believe you need less technical skill to hold and use than being able to drive a car. The plebs I come across are not anywhere near elitist and the hundreds of shops accepting bitcoin in the Netherlands are definitely not elitist shop owners. They like the saving character of it. Something which is deeply engrained in Dutch culture. Acquiring bitcoin is still possible by exchanging it for fiat. At some point you will have to add value to acquire it, just like with fiat. The difference is, bitcoin can’t be created by a few banks that enslave you through their debt creation. You can actually save for a future which is inherently deflationary. When talking to my elders of 80+ years old, they talk about saving a few years to buy a house. Sometimes a local lender got involved, but it could be paid back within a few years of hard work. From 1971 it all shifted towards large bank debt based society. The old generation here still doesn’t understand. "My yearly property tax is now more than what I bought the property for” is one of my favorites. Oh and this guy is 82 years old and holds bitcoin in self custody. He understands it really well.
