The maths analogy is a bit complicated, but I think that the idea of mining is probably still a little absurd in my mind even though I've been mining since December. The information about hash power is a discussion that is rather exclusive and underground which makes it complicated to understand. The idea behind computing power having real value in industry is fresh and perhaps it needs to be introduced to the syllabus in schools. Shoutout for the gangster post @ddangerwu. This one has dangerous cashflow vested..
