I was going to write some kind of thoughtful reply to this, but I'll just say this: your post reeks of the kind of "old boys' club" mentality and unexamined privilege that sadly plagues IT. Specifically you're doing the same kind of passive "nobody's stopping you" thinking that the post itself criticizes
As 'Old Boys Club' ish as it seems, my first point about the availability of BTC isn't some jaded opinion It's a fact, that anyone who wants to, can open up their laptop, purchase a few bitcoins, and no one has to know a thing about them. It's a passive 'nobody's stopping you' because there is no one standing between a person, and their bitcoin. By implying that aren't you denying people agency? Aren't you denying their ability to make their own decisions and determine their own future?
