Everybody should be able to fly a plane, too. Think of how awesome that would be! A rebirth of the American general aviation industry; new airplane designs; solutions to congested airports.

It does not follow from that sentiment that anyone should be able to jump into the cockpit of a Cessna and just figure things out for themselves.

The part where this analogy breaks down is that some random person will probably die in a fire pretty quickly if they try to fly a Cessna. Crypto is like a Cessna that's easy to fly but if you don't fly it exactly right, a few months after your flight, the ground under your flight path spontaneously combusts.
