We shouldn't go out of our way to change perception of BTC frankly speaking op. Many people will always hate on BTC and other cryptocurrencies since they aren't smart enough to understand the advantages related to them.
However, as time passes, more and more people are beginning to realise how revolutionary BTC truly is due to various reasons and shift from haters to supporters just like that.
BTC's reputation is a mixed bag which will always stay that way op.
I do not see why we should go out of our way to change the image some people may have about bitcoin, when I first heard about bitcoin there were a lot of negative things which were said about it, but instead of simply believing them I took my time to find out what was bitcoin and many years later I am still around.
So those which have even the most minimal interest about bitcoin will learn more about it on their own and will decide if they want to adopt it or not, and the best part is that all of this will happen without our input, making this organic growth slower but way more difficult to be manipulated by the governments.
