I can picture an ancient egyptian merchant living alongside the nile, not grasping why people in neighboring lands are so excited about this new technology called an aqueduct. "Why would I spend so much energy to redirect water when I can just dip my cup in the river?"
The majority of Africans I talk to about Bitcoin grasp its value right away, while many westerners seem to have little understanding of it.
