While Bitcoin has become easier to use over the years, it's a lot to learn for a complete noob.

Many people are put off by that and are postponing it indefinitely, because "I can always do it tomorrow", a tomorrow that never seems to come, because it's easier to stay within the familiar territory, which provides enough instantly gratifying attractions and distractions that the human mind doesn't feel compelled to venture out of it. They think "it's too techie for me" and are overwhelmed by it. The tech stack and the UX are getting better, and it can be simplified, but it can only be made so simple, because some things we can't compromise on.

It's always good to discuss and refine a hierarchy of priorities for what's important to learn first, so people can be onboarded quickly and then improve their skillset and self-sovereignty gradually.

But they still have to make that first step and convince themselves it's worth it.

It sucks that if you don't want to be pushed around on a daily basis, you need to acquire some skills first, but that's the way it is. That's why kids go to school, where they learn how to read, write and do basic arithmetic. It's a lot to learn, but they don't complain "Huh, what's all that for, it's so complicated! It's too much for me!" They learn it, because if they don't, they'll be f*cked over until the very last day of their adult lives. They won't be able to function in society, because society will not go "Hey, they chose not to go to elementary school and can't read and therefore can't feed themselves, so let's give them some food, shelter etc." Society requires that knowledge as the bare minimum, because the cost of not requiring it cannot be justified. It can be justified for those with learning difficulties, but not for the cognitively unimpaired majority.

It's time to make people realize the same applies to Bitcoin skills, however techie those appear to be. No one is going to adjust and say "Hey, if you can't pay me with sats, you can give me some fiat shitcoins instead and I'll swap them for sats."

Reading, writing and basic arithmetic are your bootloader, which you need to start the OS and then you can go to university to download advanced apps into your consciousness - chemistry, computer science, medicine, law, etc.

We can include Bitcoin skills in the next version of the bootloader, or we can say understanding Bitcoin is less important than reading, writing and arithmetic, and deal with the consequences of a large fraction of the population living under fiat slavery.

This is not to say it should be part of the coercive state education apparatus, but rather of what people consider the bare minimum needed to be a functioning member of society, and undertake a self-study of, because they know if they don't, they'll be screwed.
