Hello everyone!
I've been thinking a lot about Bitcoin adoption lately and I think that adoption is still pretty slow partly because of the Bitcoin reputation. Despite it being a progressive technology of the future, a lot of people still think that it's a joke.

So there is different opinion among people about Bitcoin. Some people consider Bitcoin as "criminal money" because it's often used on the dark web and helps criminals to get away with selling drugs and stuff.
There are also people who think that Bitcoin is a bubble that will explode and lose its value, so they don't trust it. It's probably because these people don't know how Bitcoin and blockchain work.
And there is a third group of people who think that Bitcoin is used just for gambling so they don't want to buy it.

I think it would be good if we can convince these people that they are wrong. I know that an obvious way to do it would be an education, which will help A LOT. But as for now, do you think there are other ways to change these people's opinions?
Like would it be good if we could create a system that somehow will make the life of criminals who use Bitcoin harder?
You are quite right about it. Because there are a lot of factors that are needed to be in consideration, as you can see many people in my country thinks that Bitcoin is a scam because it has no value and anyone can just steal cryptocurrency and that's not good. That's people avoid it. And they have no knowledge about it.
People who want to learn crypto, there is a hard road for them. That's why people just avoid them. Same case is with me, as It took me almost 3 years to learn crypto.
