It always amazes me how well-educated people with success in their careers do not spend time learning and understanding global and personal finance.
When I was in my first year at college, I was introduced to investing by a friend. I didn't know anything about it, so I read a few books. There was one about funds which had a short sentence at the beginning I will never forget. It was something like: "Most people spend more than 20 years to get educated to find a job and earn an income to live a good life but they do not spend a single minute to learn how to manage their wealth when you can earn even more managing your wealth than working to generate it"
That sentence created a significant impact on me and ever since then, I have tried to learn and understand every single financial (macro and micro) concept I have stumbled upon. I've learned how to be ready for macroeconomic trends, how to trade, invest, lose money invested, be prepared for hard macroeconomic cycles, and so on. I have done good and bad, but at least I have been able to act upon my own wealth, instead of living it in the hands of others.
Maybe they trust that the education given was what they actually needed to learn?
And it is this that I wish more people would get about crypto. There is beauty in being able to work for oneself, even if it is just to play around with some tokens. So much of our lives are dictated by convenience, for a cost.
