Lack of knowledge about Bitcoin really is a pity. Wallet apps put so much effort into abstraction from technological knowledge. IMO that should be enough for average people if it looks like Paypal and acts like Paypal ... they should just use it like Paypal!
But maybe this was the wrong approach from the Bitcoin community? Should we have pushed for knowledge into the mainstream instead of trying to abstract from it?

If it looks like Paypal and acts like Paypal how is it better? Why not just use Paypal? Now try to explain this to a billion people in a way that makes sense to them :)
The answer is that its almost impossible, and luring in people with NFT, unicorns, borderline ponzis is a more effective approach at first glance. But Bitcoin doesent have these things. It has chosen the hard road more on this later.
