In the past Bitcoin was known and used for illegal payments, because the transactions were anonymous so most people had negative beliefs about Crypto. Not only that, Blockchain is also a new technology that most people don't know about and they call it a scam. This is natural, because knowledge about bitcoin is uneven. Bitcoin is now famous for its price skyrocketing in the last 5 years and those who enter the Bitcoin market just want to get rich quick without any basis.
The word blockchain only made it into the limelight in global media and on the internet because Bitcoin's opponents were looking for a way to talk about the technology that they first denied to be innovative without having to mention the word Bitcoin. That also contributed to tons of misinformation to the public. They constantly emphasized all the negative use cases that
Bitcoin could facilitate, but
blockchain is the real deal. Huh??
