I believe it's mostly people who are hearing things from the media who are preferring not to use bitcoin because of the negative news
The media have a negative impact on bitcoin's PR. Most of the time it's about bitcoin associated with drugs deals and criminals.
That's bad, there is more to bitcoin then that.
thats true, i think media is one of the biggest things that make people not use their bitcoins or even not to start with it, it is definitely better to just ignore them and thats it
