 If laymen being able to understand a technology is a prerequisite for using it, boy do I have some bad news for you about the Internet… 
 No, not any technology but this very particular one where trusting the technology itself and nothing else is at the core of it. 
 We'd like to think everyone will get orange-pilled, go down the rabbit hole, and understand Bitcoin. But that's not how people work. People trust public key cryptography—and, for that matter, fiat money and banking— every day to complete financial transactions in their browser and they don't understand that, either. As with the technologies that make up the Internet, the best we can hope for is that they remain open enough that those who do want to understand and to control their destiny can do so. Normies have other things to worry about, like getting their kids to soccer practice, or whatever it is that normies do. It would be better if things were different, but they're not.
