The part of the discussion that delves into the mindset of trying to understand things deeply, and understand how they work, and not just be a surface-level "user" of motorcycles, is directly applicable to bitcoin.
Not only is it applicable, that attitude is sorely needed in bitcoin, I think, since it's incompatible with stumbling around hollering "bitcoin fixes this!" into people's faces in response to every statement.
Those conversations are few and far between I’m afraid. Deep engagement and context seem sacrificed to the instant gratification of Bitcoin ‘noise’.
I hope you give the book another go - I wrote this overview following our exchange the other day.
