The more various opinions I hear about Cryptocurrency, the more I realize that there is a new kind of phobic hysteria, which appears literally about everything related to Cryptocurrency, e.g. mining, trading, ICOs or lending.
In some cases people provide interesting groundings concerning Cryptocurrency risks and instability.
But in many cases their negative conclusions simply sound like: scam, deception and other "demonizing" statements.
I think this phenomenon spreads around fairly fast.
What's your opinion about it?

Hi there Thadeous! First of all, you got a nice tread title in there, cant imagine there could be a phobia about cryptocurrency. Anyway, I think there is no specific name for that kind of phobia but as you said due to the rapid changes bought by the cryptocurrency there are people that are hardly to catchup. There are people that are doing illegal acts and taking advantage of this technology, but on the other hand this technology teaches us to be more self-aware, be fast, be vigilant and face the possible ups and down that makes us more prepare in this technological era.

Thank you Markleal. That's a great point about self-awareness, which is the key to control individual instincts, including various fears that may lead to phobias, in the worst case scenario. And even basic self-awareness requires certain level of self-reflection.
