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 lots of people who lacks knowledge about crypto currencies and i had read that there are already universities who offers crypto currency education. The crypto currencies are spreadingly worldwide there are people who believes and invest there are also who does not believe. Learning crypto currency could be learned thru shared experiences and continuous reading on the internet. But never force someone to study it unless they show interest on it because there are people who are closed minded.
