It's like taking Broken Money and gearing it to an audience that isn't as sophisticated. Eg plebs without masters level econ backgrounds. I've read all these books and then some.( 50 plus books in the last two years) and this one speaks to the masses who are trying to wrap their heads around the basics of philosophy of money, markets, and the critical role fiat plays in our society and the outsized role of the corruption of our abstracted time and energy in the ponzi of fiat and debt. Leopard does a great job reaching a much wider audience.
It's true, even 99% of Bitcoiners doin't get Bitcoin. It takes a long time and a lot of touches. As @Jeff Booth always says: we've never lived in a free market. We've never know a world like the future we're building. Also the "everything people don't understand about economics plus everything people don't understand about computers" factor. Also, money is about incentives and incentives are felt not thought. You know the ground is solid with your foot, not your head (ideally) It helps if the system really stomps on you once or twice too. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but it definitely speeds up learning.
