I agree it is forced. But what would you recommend as a nation? Making everything to a legal tender? Or better don’t have a legal tender at all?

No legal tender at all and way more education programs on it, so people can decide for themselves. "Hey, probably a good idea to have a look at this, it would help you out a lot in the long run". If they don't want to learn, so be it, leave them be. I'm sure there are, or will be, plenty that do.
