I think that until crypto is understood and accepted by more people and institutions, people of power should not show ignorance? about something that is developing around them. We may be buying computers and software and stocks in the near future with coins that are being denigrated today.
Its not that they are ignorant about it but more of it because they don't want to focus on crypto issues. People always imitate and try to become successful by trying to follow what successful people do, next thing the media will cover some of their stories with their own words. Bitcoin hasn't regulated yet and based on the volatility shows that it has the highest fluctuation. Sure you can be an overnight millionaire however you could also lose all of your money in a single swoop, and most people only follow what they're told to do without having their own investment plan. Not to mention many people get scammed when the hype about cryptocurrencies resurface.
