Bitcoin exist for over a decade yet there’s only few percentage of the human population is involved on Bitcoin investment. Not because that the majority of people is not aware nor exposed but because they are the victim of economic lie such disinformation towards Bitcoin through negative propaganda of Banks.
We are all being feed of wrong information of economic norms by the billionaires that benefiting the current system. Bitcoin is the best asset to invest in terms of price growth on long term period yet people are still scared to touch due the wrong information given by the main stream media.
In the country that I live, Bitcoin has a stigma of being a scam because our own government warn the public to not engage on Bitcoin investment due to a lot of scam involves it and the volatility is high. Most of the people here including the old professional don’t dare to touch it despite Bitcoin already has good price history.
I'm guessing that you live in a place where your government is opressive..at least to an extent? If so, don't people realize that, and then think to themselves, "well if my government restricts much of what I do just in general, and try and control us..wouldn't it be the same thing with what they are telling me and our citizens about bitcoin?"...maybe this isn't the case for you OP...but it is for a lot of people across the globe..and I just always wondered if people put two and two together.
