Bitcoin did not prove to be a good thing in 2017-2018, as many people lost money after the bubble inflated... So now people avoid bitcoin because they are afraid that history will repeat itself (and it will!

)...
Exactly. The main reason why people avoid Bitcoin is because the same has unstable prices on the market. One day you could have thousands of dollars worth of BTC, only to find that it's worthless in a blink of an eye. Wild fluctuations in price disqualifies Bitcoin from being used as digital cash. Bitcoin works better as a store of value than anything else. Besides price volatility, negative comments about Bitcoin by governments and the mainstream media, has made people think twice before joining the crypto revolution. Hacks and scams, makes matters worse as they damage Bitcoin's image in the mainstream world.
At least, Bitcoin's decentralized and open source nature will keep it going for years on end. It doesn't matter if most people avoid Bitcoin, as long as there are a number of supporters behind it. The more Bitcoin grows in development and innovation, the better it'll be for its prominence in the mainstream world. In the future, it's expected that a respectable number of people use Bitcoin for their own benefit. Of course, Fiat currencies will always have a higher number of people using it. But Bitcoin will still relevant as it becomes a force to reckon with. Just my thoughts
