If we start from the fact that most people who have heard of Bitcoin do not really understand what it is really about, we should not be surprised that the prevailing opinion is that it is some kind of Internet scam. It is very easy to understand and accept how the monetary system works, it is something we learn as children - we get money from parents and grandparents, and we quickly realize how important it is in life.
Bitcoin is something completely new and revolutionary, and the complete opposite of what we have today - and that system is of course defended by people like Buffett who is very influential because he is rich, and people admire him for that and the way he got rich. Although Bitocin has been around for 11 years, we can’t escape the fact that it only became famous after what happened in late 2017, so we could actually take that as the moment it became planetary popular.
