In the early days of the Internet you had to be somewhat computer literate to use it.
Now everyone uses it daily and most people have no clue how it works. It just works for them.

And many people wasted lots of time & energy arguing over the protocol & promoting competing base layer features rather than focusing on the need for simplicity & robust data transfer. History repeats & the losses will be far more painful, monetarily speaking.
The lesson is that once the protocol is proven functional, improving UX leads to mass adoption. People shouldn't have to "study Bitcoin". It should just work for them.
You don't get mass adoption through trying to educate the masses. The masses are fucking stupid and lazy.
You get mass adoption when you improve UX to the point that the system just works for them with minimal effort and zero technical knowledge.
