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.
I'd personally think I'm the joke if I fuck up my entry by buying high and selling low, but hey, it's a lot easier to blame something else instead of yourself.
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?
I don't think we need to do anything with regards to criminals, the government is doing its stuff about that (and is affecting also other regular uses unfortunately), and even then, they aren't exactly wrong that it's being used for criminal activity, I mean, if it was biased about that then it wouldn't be decentralized anymore. It's just that the first notion people see Bitcoin as is for "criminal usage", so we should change that to "anyone without being controlled" instead. Sadly with a bit of looking up this can easily be clarified, but well, idk. The internet was supposed to make looking up info a lot easier but it seems like a lot of people regressed in that regard instead.
