I seems to be quite useless to try to explain why bitcoin is a good thing to anyone who does not understand the current fiat system. And equally useless to try to explain the problems of the current system to those who depend on it for their livelihood.

It is not useless at all. Everybody has his learning curve and some will need more time than others to understand the same thing, which is particularly true in maths. But you insinuated the idea of the relevance of Bitcoin, which might flourish on the future. Maybe they will need less volatility and more killer apps though.

Yes, and this is well proven by marketing.  There's a whole class of ads that just try to get a company name "out there" without explicitly selling product.  Like the GE add running during the olympics that was showing jumbo jet engines, wind turbines, MRI's etc... How many olympics viewers are in the market for these products?

Same with Bitcoin.  People need to hear the word over and over... then someday they'll suddenly bite.
