"I love really simple stuff that has big practical benefits...bitcoin." - please elaborate
Bitcoin has a big practical benefit of saving money. Or sending $5k globally at any hour of the day without a single question or restriction. Being able to memorize my seed and carry my wealth anywhere without any device, completely naked, in outer space or running across a border. Seeing an immutable transactionID and entry for a tx someone claims they sent me. And so on.
Thunderbolt 5 will allow a laptop to live a longer life, power-use up and down with composable parts, portable when you need it for low-rez casual stuff, or all the performance you need for demanding workloads. To the end user it's just a simple accessory cord.
