> Most people aren't looking for an investment vehicle, a replacement for USD, a way to challenge central banks, or a way to perform zero-trust financial transactions.

I agree with you, and I am a "invest in a well-balanced mutual fund and retire in comfort" sort of person, not at all the target audience for bitcoin.

Still, even an explanation of why it had the potential to replace USD or challenge the central banks would have been interesting. No one seemed to go further than "because I said so"

Honestly I've yet to meet anyone who wants to take down central banking who seems to have the faintest idea how banking works.
