Peter Thiel stumbled on an important point in his last podcast with Joe Rogan.
Bitcoin is such a big idea, such a fundamental disruption in money and such an Earth shattering invention, that society as a whole simply doesn't know how to process it.
Its easy to process small incremental technological changes.
Even big changes like AI can be comprehended because we've seen software get smarter over time so when we see it get really smart in one go, we can paint a viable picture within 1 or 2 years.
But money itself has seen no improvement in a 100 years. In fact its steadily gotten worse and most people are just boiling frogs who barely even understand what money is. We just take it for granted. We internalise it to such an extent that we are oblivious to even what it is.
For Bitcoin to come and fundamentally change the very structure of how money works, and of how one half of every transaction on Earth will work, is simply too much for the uninitiated to fathom.
It is far easier to dismiss it as something familiar like a ponzi.
Imagine if a technology came and claimed to completely change everything you know about breathing. We don't study breathing, we just do it. We take it for granted.
Its the same with money. We don't study it, or even understand it. We just use it.
Simply put, Bitcoin is so fundamentally disruptive, that it is simply, unfathomable.
