If you take an assessment, a lot of citizens are not yet informative what is cryptocurrency is....like bitcoin and other altcoins. One proof is that others can be deceived by swindlers because of lack of knowledge regarding crypto currencies. . They invest with the wrong people because of considering in unfounded information and hearsays.
Educating people regarding crypto will not make them to mislead. Educators can teach about crypto inside school especially in economic subject/s because it has a big role nowadays.
As Tom Emmer stated, People tend to fear what they dont know. If people sailing the oceans at the time of Columbus had believed the world is flat, we wouldnt have had the great discoveries of the New World.

Yes and that fear should be overcomed in order for ourselves to grow. The reason why crypto is not being educated to the people is because the governments holds the curriculums of their respective nations. But, in my opinion, I think this is better that only a few knows how to invest so that there will be less rich people around the world.
