I think a major reason may be because Bitcoin is still new to you. You weren't raised being taught about how to save and spend money that is Bitcoin. In the US for example, when someone says money, they mean dollars (I like to play with people and give them Yen instead and laugh at the face they make at me).

Because Bitcoin is new to you, you feel the need to learn about it and because you believe in it, you want to learn how to contribute to it. This is not the same situation as someone who just expects to get what they think of as money whenever they put in a job application.
