Thanks for the information and the link. Maybe you don't discover bitcoin until you try to support yourself.
There were twins in my daughter's high school, I think a year older than her, who supposedly hit it big in bitcoin in 2017 and bought themselves matching Teslas. I have my doubts. I know they drove the cars, but they might have just had parents who spoiled them.
The "teen" link is kinda interesting because most of the teens or near-teens I interact with primarily see bitcoin in terms of a "number go up, to the moon" mindset.
I don't think they have the life experience to appreciate what bitcoin actually means for financial sovereignty at a deeper level.
So, I guess if you commonly interact with teens or people with a teenage mindset, then your view of Bitcoin will be colored by that kind of mentality.
The teens that I've interacted with really don't know much about bitcoin. I did a very informal survey a few months ago. With the open-ended question "What is Satoshi Nakamoto famous for?" only 3.5% got it right. Then the multiple choice "Who started bitcoin?" only 41% picked out Satoshi from a choice of five names.
