It could be that or the opposite. I had heard the opposite from my friends when I first mentioned Bitcoin to them and they were like, "oh that sCaM cOIn in the dArK wEb". There are division of thoughts when it comes to cryptos and we can't blame them anyway since they're not too techy or was not aware or knowledgeable about it.
I never heard from someone in my social circle ever that Bitcoin is volatile investment and to this day, I am still waiting, lol.
Well I agree with your statement. Explaining bitcoin to beginners is difficult and easy, why? Because if you only explain theoretically, some people think it's just gibberish, like my experience. I prefer to practice directly, because in most people it is easier to understand what is practiced than to theorize. For me direct practice is more effective because they can feel the atmosphere.
