Good job _BlackStar, I think I deserve merit  your post. Anyway, 2 of all the points you raised in the thread are still very much felt today especially about ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes. I think the ordinary people still needs to learn more about bitcoin and compare it to ponzi investments and other pyramid scheme investments so they can determine whether bitcoin is worth equating with these two scam investments or not.

I have found people who have a mindset about bitcoin in real life and I have also had the opportunity to tell them about the basic knowledge of bitcoin investing and what bitcoin is. But I never force them to believe because basically bitcoin is just a scapegoat between two scam investment schemes.
