As far as education goes.. it's not absolutely necessary. This is because in the regular stock market people buy and sell purely - 1. For profit. 2. Based on market fundamentals and the specific financial reports the company they're investing in publishes.

When Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, Oracle, etc come up with a new esoteric technology that works in the background for computers, do any of the investors actually care? Do they understand it? No and no. From the richest guy to the average Joe, people in pretty much all markets only sometimes understand the value behind what a company does. There are dozens of large cap companies that never sell a consumer item ever and the investor might have never seen a physical location from that business, but the company has billions of inflated value just because people fomo into it. This situation is seen as normal and healthy by 90% of the people in the markets. If the stock market can get away with this then so too can crypto.
