I didn't, but you are correct: I know them well-enough to know they haven't.
That being said, I remember being told to read the whitepaper when I was first poking around in Bitcoin. It was not helpful advice. I don't have the gigabrain to read it and see that the world is gonna change.
I agree with you, though, NGU is probably the main way most people will come to bitcoin.
Ha! That's a good point. I didn't read the whitepaper in 2008 when I heard about bitcoin on the Security Now Podcast. I didn't end up reading it until around 2020. The book that I think is probably best for somewhat technical people and doesn't get in the weeds on econ or trigger non-gold bugs is The Bullish Case for Bitcoin.
Thing is, I'm the type of person that seeks out the best cases for things and then the best cases against them. I HATE strawman positions and hype. This is why I mostly ignore mass media. Its absolutely terrible. The only value for me personally in mass media is like a weather report. This is what people are being programmed to think now.
