Most people still don’t get Bitcoin – and that’s exactly why it matters

Funny how Bitcoin’s been around for 15+ years and still, the average person thinks it’s some get-rich-quick scheme or tech bro obsession. But here’s the thing: it’s not about fast gains. It’s about opting out of a system built on debt, inflation and endless bailouts.

You don’t need to “trust” Bitcoin. It runs. Block after block. No CEO, no central bank, no emergency meetings. Just math and incentives.

And yeah, it’s clunky, and yeah, your grandma won’t set up her own node anytime soon. But maybe that’s fine. Maybe real freedom isn’t supposed to be plug-and-play.

Just feels like we’re sleepwalking into a future of CBDCs and surveillance, while people still mock BTC for not having a slick app.
