At the bookstore today I saw some book about the rise and fall of crypto. ~~
How do we educate people that Bitcoin is a continuously growing global currency that is still in its early staged and each big boom and crash is just its early growing pains?
People should draw much clearer lines between the term "crypto" or cryptocurrencies and "bitcoin".
The book you described seems crazy to talk about a fall just because the FTX thing. But we know that "crypto" that includes altcoins has had lots of falls. There are countless altcoins that were created, pumped to the moon to have their short moment in the sun but then got dumped and shortly after that they died for good. So at least the title "rise and fall of crypto" is precisely describing these cryptos and it has nothing to do with bitcoin.
This important distinction falls in the same line as the distinction between Bitcoin and centralized exchanges and their demise (like FTX).
