The problem with these kind of "educator" videos as the above linked one by Andreas Antonopoulos's, they are full of personal speculations, with no clear attempts made to justify statements by hard facts.
Proper education must be based on facts, not speculation. Proper education must include clear steps people can practice to achieve concrete goals. Proper education must contain lists of reliable sources, where people can go and learn the topic deeper.
Don't get me wrong, the video is interesting and entertaining, but it is not quite the same as "education".

Andreas M. Antonopoulos, a security and distributed systems expert in cryptocurrencies who runs bitcoin incubator RootEleven, argued that the fact most people didn't know about the event demonstrated the resilience of the network.
“Have you had any problems with your bitcoin transactions? Neither have I," he continued. “It’s a testament to the resilience and strength of the network that under a DDoS attack we haven’t seen that network go away."
Yeah, sure. I've never been in plane crash, so they don't happen ;)
