Mainly most parents hold the belief that BTC, lacking government oversight and approval, is primarily associated with money laundering and illicit business activities.
I could guess that was the problem, it is sad that at a time when it should be very easy for people to do their own research and get the right information, they make their decisions based on what they read online from anti-bitcoiners who constantly attack the network. BTC with its public ledger and transparency in tx's isn't as good for money laundering as people think, except it is done by someone with a very good understanding of the network. Laundering money with cash is so much easier, but people think BTC is the problem.
You've rightly recognized the roles of the anti-bitcoiners in this present case, It seems that these detractors can often be viewed as a "Trinity" composed of three influential entities: The Bank, The Media, and Political Power. Against these detractors it's important for us to continue the engagement of the public opinion in constructive dialogues and educating them of the multiple perspectives surrounding this trans-formative technology. Hoping that with our persistence and perseverance in the public awareness process we can get the mainstream public opinion on our side.
It seems that it is still difficult to make people aware to really open themselves up to new things. Even though there is the internet, it doesn't guarantee that people will look for as much information as possible about Bitcoin.
It seems that the government is also "restricting" the movement of Bitcoin in society by continuing to spread the news that Bitcoin is just a tool for carrying out illegal activities without telling them that Bitcoin is actually a valuable asset for them. The government does not want to lose the power it has built long ago and continues to try to spread rumors or bad news to the public.
And it seems that the presence of a government that is truly willing to "open up and accept new things" is very necessary but unfortunately, they are still controlled by people who have higher power. So the key is in the hands of the government and if they really allow it, they will educate the public about bitcoin/crypto.
That's very correct, countries that are friendly to Bitcoin and Blockchain are mostly were we have bitcoiners in their politics. We need to encourage those fiends that have political ambitions to promote legislation and political policy that increase awareness and true protection of blockchain adopters.
