EU friends of mine don't see a point in studying Bitcoin, they act like 'it's for criminals' and are probably afraid to do 'illegal' things, they forgot the point of saving money, in like 10-15 years, but are happy it's 'not as bad here as in other countries' (spreading fear from the media works, I guess) and just do what everybody does, get a job, get a loan, make kids, have a beer on Friday's, repeat. Now in our mid 30's they have no time or energy and just keep doing what they're doing... I've seen them all gradually change into the same empty shell (with voting rights!) Prices basically 20fold since the introduction of the euro and now that most of our parents are retiring they recieve hardly any pension (free broken back included) and as long as they have something or somebody to point the finger they will continue doing the same shit over and over.. they're all blind and distracted... unfortunately a total collapse of the system would be the best thing for everyone.
