the funny thing is that the vast majority of people don't understand how money comes into being, how banks work, etc. And yet, they still just accept cash and use it.
So may be it isn't irrational to have accepted bitcoins in a job as payment, without understanding it. The reason most people don't accept bitcoin (or crypto in general) is that they feel the value is too volatile and might change too much for them to make good financial plans with it.
