The life story of the doctor, professor of obstetrician Ignaz Semmelweis, is one example when you should not follow the crowd.
In the Vienne, at the women clinic, one of the departments was autopsy room and the medical students after the autopsy procedure went to deliver the baby, without washing their hands. Semmelweis suggested that due to this reason, up to 50% of women who give birth died from the birth fever and demanded that all students and doctors wash their hands in the solution of chlorine lime before delivery. Mortality immediately decreased many times. However, the Vienna community of doctors refused to follow his example. The idea that the doctors themselves were the carriers of the disease was unacceptable.
And many years later, we're saying... - How could one deliver birth without washing their hands, especially after the autopsy. We think it's just stupid. The story of Satoshi Nakamoto somehow reminds the story of Semmelweis. And this is the reaction which our descendants will have, who will laugh at us and say... - How could you use intermediaries, which could block your accounts, withdraw money in some countries, take large interest in other, while in other countries it was necessary to stand in line for hours to send or get money when there was such an alternative as bitcoin.
