What do you mean with "making and selling new paintings"
Do you think people understand that it is just money changing hands like if you were making and selling new paintings ?
Bitcoin is a currency, only that it is a digital one , and in fact you are never seeing the coin that you are sending/receiving because it is stored on the blockchain.
But why should people be afraid for it? No one is going to be poor because of no holding cryptos, and no one knows if there is going to be a crash or no.
Oh my god.. i have never seen a post like this.. saying that people is afraid of it.. what the hell.
We do not have to be afraid of bitcoin. it will be the stepping stones for us to achieve our goals. It will helps us on our daily life like having an income through it. If we are going to be afraid of something, then that must be anything that will happen to bitcoin such as price being so low, bitcoin being dethroned as the number one cryptocurrency and others. People using it for crime can be another way so that bitcoin can be afraid of. People tend to be afraid if other people are using it for evil things such as crimes.
