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.

There are tons of articles on the Internet, forums, YouTube videos and Telegram groups describing what crypto is and assisting to get the basics of crypto investing and trading. If one experiences the lack of knowledge in this sphere, why couldn't he just google the necessary info and make at least a primitive analysis of what he learnt? Or course, I do support the introduction of specialized crypto-related subjects at schools and universities, but we should remember that all the necessary information already floats and awaits for us around the Internet.
