Generational shifts are absolutely huge with this technology. It makes me think about the story of how hand-washing was discovered in medicine -- it took an entire generation of doctors to retire back in the 1800s before hand-washing went from "crazy talk" to the common sense. Feels like there's a parallel between that kind of thing, and the crypto vs. fiat "debate."

Yeah. I remember reading a story about a (I think) Hungarian doctor who on observation, told doctors that there are "little animals" on our skin that were making people ill and they should wash their hands. They were moving from touching dead bodies to delivering babies without washing at that point and - he was ridiculed and thrown out of practice. It was only some time later that the first microscopes were developed and they saw germs.
