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.

The main question is, is it really necessary to teach all people what bitcoin and blockchain are? Not in my opinion. The topic of cryptocurrency is quite narrow and people come to it when they are ready and they have enough intelligence to study the issue and start participating. The rest should remain service personnel. So it was and will always be. No need to force and train anyone. This is totally wrong.

True, cryptocurrencies are not for everyone, there are many people that can barely use a computer so they are not really qualified to use something like bitcoin, even if bitcoin seems easy to us that does not mean that most people are going to have the same impression and it is likely that if they try to use bitcoin they are going to lose their money to hackers or scammers.
