Some countries really frown upon the use and advertisement about cryptocurrencies. if your country is of such negative views about the use of cryptocurrencies i would suggest you stay low on the exposure and wait for tempers to calm down before going all about making cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology all known. Remember, your safety is important first.
Sometimes, watching television won't help enough as they are just covering negative side of a certain story, they are just picking up the stories that could catch the attention of people for them to watch you, but, it is not really helping a lot, so for me, better do your own research rather than relying with how people react on it, or how they criticize crypto, as negative people won't see the positive side if they are closed minded.
