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?
Bitcoin promotes a system of voluntary mutually-agreed interactions where both sides benefit from the deal, and everything is happening without any aggression or coercion. People come to understand Bitcoin in a natural way because it solves real problems that they face in everyday life, for example, the constant decrease in purchasing power of national currency and the corresponding raise in prices, which we usually call inflation. Once people understand what Bitcoin is, they no longer consider it a tool for facilitating money laundering or other criminal activity, which harms the reputation of a currency. Learning is, therefore, a key to realizing the real potential of Bitcoin, it is the only way to understand why governments and banksters don't want a wide audience to use Bitcoin instead of gradually debasing fiat money. The problem is that people are lazy enough and prefer sitting before a TV screen because it requires little effort unlike reading books or articles about decentralized technology.
