Many are aware of crypto potential but they don't want to lose money, they re simply aware of its risks too, I have friends who aren't ready to lose a penny that's why they don't jump in yet and they like talking about the tech and the future possibilities
It's a natural thing when someone doesn't want to lose their assets even a cent, because basically everyone just wants to make a profit in crypto, not looking for a loss, so it's natural for everyone to be aware of the risks before doing certain things in the market crypto.
