 I don't think Bitcoin itself will be captured. I'm saying any Bitcoin use *on white markets* will be captured.

I have faith that there will be a significant portion who want to be free, and that portion may even grow, and the tools will be there for them to use, but I'm not sure I have that same faith for people in general...

 We had 5 kids, I'm 61. One thing I see universally is the "Public" (I would say Government controlled) education system does NOT teach kids to think/learn.

The system teaches them to be process followers with limited knowledge and limited ability to derive their own understanding (think). This has to be intentional IMO.

We put our kids in Montessori school -and I was hell bent on teaching them how to think first. We NEVER did for our kids what they can do for themselves (hard as a parent). They are all very successful - there might be one of the 5 not financially independent in their mid 30s (some/alot of that has to do with buying a lot of Bitcoin).

All said because my 'faith" in people comes from the fact people can learn to think. They can read. They can dream. They can work.

We just can't force them, it has to be taught - and we need more teachers. We need more choice in schools. And obviously we need more understanding #Bitcoin which is the ultimate in free thinking.

I believe we can, and will get there but it's likely the current older generations will not do so well. Mostly.
