Couldn't it also be that he does "get it" and all the young and inexperienced investors/speculators don't?

I'm not going to try to refute your argument (even though I might disagree with it), I'm going to assume that what you say is right.

Ok, why does it matter if he does get it and the young investors don't if the young investors can participate in a new economy. Like what is there to get? If they establish a new economy, who cares if Warren gets it?

I don't think most of the young investors these days are participating in a new economy. They are just trading Bitcoin as commodity on exchanges. In which case if they don't get it and Warren does, that's a problem for them.

Exchange is the foundation of any new economy. By creating exchanges, they are creating a foundation of the next economy.

A new economy that supposedly runs on a payment method that doesn't scale so have to resort to various degrees of centralization and trusted third-parties that don't deliver on the original promises of Bitcoin?

I guess I don't see what makes this a new economy and not just the same old economy with new commodity-based payment system.

It’s still very much under development. It’s not like the rest of the economic system was built over night.
