And I think that when/if holding your own bitcoin is looked upon as being as important as driving, then YES, people will learn.
Totally give agreement, with this logic. I consider that it is about that, they still do not understand how important their own bank is to be.

People:

  • Zero knowledge about opposing risk.
  • Blind faith, in institutions that have already failed in the past.
  • Short memory (people already forget 2008, Breton Woods's breakup, and many other things)
  • Zero trust (common people sometimes rely more in third parties than themselves)
Only a few examples.

Another corollary to this concept, of "when holding your own bitcoin is looked upon as being as important as driving, people will learn", is this:
Some people (perhaps many) will NOT learn. Just like they can't learn to drive. Or can't learn a foreign language.

As self-driving cars becomes more ubiquitous, I think people won't see driving as an important skill to have, and may even welcome not having the responsibility of driving.

exact! I also think about it.
It is a contradictory duality.
"Bitcoin is for everyone, and at the same time, Bitcoin is not for everyone."
