I could be projecting, but I think a lot of people here don't have a deep understanding of blockchains because the past 15 years has been full of crypto scams and would rather put their time, energy, and attention into better technologies. Proof of existence is the first real utility for bitcoin besides as an investment vehicle or decentralized transfer of money, so I think it's fair that other's would want to know how it works.

More Americans get their understanding of the world from TV tier media than reading original sources.

Both for technology and law.

Illiteracy is rampant.

Critical thinking is oddly uncommon.

It's unfortunate and unsustainable.
