I think that most people kind of deep down inside know the current system is flawed. But there has been no other option for so long, that there has been a societal wide agreement to not think about it or talk about it. So when bitcoin comes along and people hear about it, they just say that everything has been just fine without it. No need to change. If they did admit that there needed to be a change, that would also mean that for all their lives not only were they being lied to, but they were even lying to themselves. The truth in the this case is very painful to accept.
youre right to some degree, but its not like its some deep seated personal emotional problem thats being supressed and denied.
once people see the benefits its game on.
