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.

Really great idea to educate the mass about bitcoins specially cryptocurrency in general so we can finally uphold the benefits of cryptocurrency in the market. I believe that cryptocurrencies will definitely take over the future with bitcoins leading the fray. I just hope that people are ready to be educated and accept the technology before them.
