 I agree. I knew about bitcoin since 2014 and even had some back then. But I did not get it's uniqueness, I did not get how it is fundamentally different from all other shitcoins, I did not get "money". So I  played around with other coins, traded and lost most of it. I credit Saylor's thoughts and hours and hours of explaining bitcoin from a more philosophical and economical standpoint and the fundamental importance of proof of work that it clicked.
