#Bitcoin blows minds for many reasons.
Computer scientists say Satoshi solving the Byzantine Generals problem blew their minds.
Economists might be mystified by an asset that goes up in price without producers increasing production to increase supply.
Oil drillers say finding an alternative to flaring excess gas that's cleaner and more profitable was mind blowing.
Human rights advocates say being able to own an asset which cannot be confiscated in a corrupt country, allowing people to grow wealth and escape tyranny was mind blowing.
Power plant operators will say the load balancing capability of mining is mind blowing.
Merchants or users of remittance services will say the fact that BTC lowers friction and fees is mind blowing.
Some might say Bitcoin encouraging saving and long term thinking is mind blowing.
If Bitcoin hasn't blown your mind, you just haven't viewed it through the right lens yet.
