I was so much curious about bitcoin some years back and end up scammed up my hard earned money which make me fearful and negative towards cryptocurrencies.
But slowly i have learned a lot of things, experienced more and i'm changed and now things have changed. Now i am a hodler and very positive for the future and will always be consistent in it.BTC
Many people first had different bad experiences with crypto in general, if it's not about hackers, it's about scammers and even shitcoins, but the most rampant I think is the case about shitcoins. During the 2017 bull run, many joined the crypto space and without much knowledge and information, invested heavily in many coins and learnt the hard lesson, which is, some team exited scam and some were just pump and dump, hence the reason in many people's wallets, you will see different shitcoins with no value, this changed a lot of people's mindset.
But however, those who later went for knowledge were then enlightened and they then come to the understanding that, there is no coin like Bitcoin hence believing in the crypto space again.
