Do you like your money being manipulated by a central authority?
Do you like that your currency has a built in feature of losing at least 2% of its value each year?
Do you like your bank and believe they sufficiently protect your identity and data?

I think someone don't need to know too much about bitcoin, because it's too hard to understand. You just need basic knowledge about bitcoin.
And you need to start with bitcoin right now, because there are lot people believe bitcoin will be huge success.

One reason is that you want to learn about it when you still have the time because when it becomes part of eveyone's financial portfolio then you'd be happy to be the smart one among the few.

It's the next step in the evolution of money. Do you still use old technology like telegram or steam engine daily?

Learning about Bitcoin right now is like learning TCP/IP and HTML back in the 90s.
You don't have to be knowledgeable so that you can become an IT guy or write webpages but in your area of expertise it would be good to know enough so that you can apply it to your talents and skills. Some guys with those basic skills created something called Google and Yahoo. Without that knowledge they would have probably bought a fried chicken franchise and learned about different spices and oils.
Learn it so you can be involved in the future.

Using bitcoin to send and receive money is not easy. There are fees, confirmations, blocks, address, keys... concepts to learn. Better to learn now and make mistakes while bitcoin is relatively cheaper. Do you want to make a mistake now, or when bitcoin is $5000 per piece?

Why should someone (not knowledgeable about bitcoin) should start spending hours and hours to learn about bitcoin's concept. Not for everyone, but there are always people wanting to understand how things really works. Why should that someone start right now?
I have feeling you think Bitcoin = investment. I believe Bitcoin is more technology of independend currency than investment opportunity.

Why should someone (not knowledgeable about bitcoin) should start spending hours and hours to learn about bitcoin's concept. Why should that someone start right now?
It's kinda like asking "Why should someone learn to use a PC now", in 1991. I remember those times, and still feel *really* sorry for the people I knew then who absolutely refused to learn how to use computers, because it didn't interest them. Today, they pretty much have to use computers (no longer optional like in '91), and those people are handicapped! They have trouble doing more than sending an email, are constantly infected with malware. It is clear that the computer illiterate are at a massive disadvantage in our society, and I'm sure those fumbling around right now wish they could take back their over-confident anti-computer attitude that they had when all of this was starting. I sincerely think the analogy will hold for Bitcoin users, except instead of being computer-illiterate, today's Bitcoin haters will be tomorrow's financially illiterate: severely limited and financially handicapped, watching "smarter" people leave them in the dust. They will be stuck, dependant on others to help them with their finances, never truly "free" like the people around them are. So I think "that someone should start right now", if only to avoid this nightmare scenario, of being poor, while hipsters are living it up, and laughing all the way to the blockchain.

Why should someone (not knowledgeable about bitcoin) should start spending hours and hours to learn about bitcoin's concept. Why should that someone start right now?
How about this? a couple minutes Bitcoin Basic Concepts •Bitcoin is a shared ledger system and the current state of the ledger is determined by a decentralized consensus. •Bitcoin "mining" is the process of adding transactions to the ledger and is done by solving math problems that take substantial computational power. •The "consensus" is achieved by users and "miners" deciding to run compatible versions of the software and enforcing the consensus rules. •Users can run "nodes" using peer-2-peer connections that shares the ledger. •Nodes enforce the rules by only broadcasting transactions and sections of the ledger that fit within the consensus rules. •A user can verify the shared ledger took a huge amount of computational power to create as a way of trusting it is real. •Miners get transaction fees and "block rewards" as an incentive to use their computer power. •The "rewards" are a way to initially distribute the currency and are cut in half about every 4 years. •Bitcoin addresses are secure because the numbers are so large that all the computers in the world cannot come close to cracking it.
