Now, this does not sound very important, but it actually are one of the most critical things that needs to be addressed. We should counter all of these misinformed people, with education on what Bitcoin is, because they lose money on Ponzi schemes and then they blame it on Bitcoin.
They don't know about Bitcoin when talking like that, anything related Ponzi nowadays is always linked to cryptocurrency and making crypto bad for people who just want to join. I agree we should educate those people who always misinformed other people.
I would say the sentiment has changed a lot over the recent years. It was the case that everything crypto-related was a Ponzi, but when I tap to people it isn't the same discussion as it used to be like 5 years ago. Back at the time everything was a Ponzi, but now most of the people realize that there is much more behind digital and decentralized currencies, especially in light of the recent problems that fiat money obviously has.
