You also have to deal with all the FUD: “made by the NSA, no intrinsic value, extremely volatile risk asset, controlled by china, money for criminals.” Then you learn about how it’s resistant to capture. The government can’t shut it down even though it’s hard to believe at first. So you put in the time to learn about the network to make sure it actually will last. You inevitably learn about the blocksize war and Silk Road. You start to think this actually could change the world. But it’s not physical, will it actually work?
