Why then are these "old-timers" so afraid of crypto? Because they are afraid of change.
Yes, it is prone to swings in value. Anything that has potential is.
Sorry I cut the other parts because this is are the sentences that I just love and also to save some space.
The change which they are scared of. Tradition. They are glued to tradition that made them so weak to step up and embrace the change that will happen.
Damn, risk it. I dont care. They want to be safe as always, stay to the old flow because it worked. But for how long? Some countries are already on their way to make the bigger change while other stays with the traditional way.
We can still preserve it while being in a new world.
