It would have taken me hundreds of hours to understand the mechanisms of derivatives like the sub-prime mortgage backed CDS-es as well.
Not a very good way to convince me of cryptocurrencies' greatness by saying 'oh its too complicated to understand, but trust me its big'.
i'm not very into crypto - and everytime i look it feels like another speculative bubble but this time the speculators are even more hyped.
It really doesn't. But that is a convenient way to dismiss criticism from everyone who isn't a crypto insider (which is a self-fulfilling prophecy -- the people who spend that much time on it will necessarily be bought into it, the people who are critical will have given up caring about it at some point so will never have the necessary "credentials" to talk about it).
