I agree with you, Bitcoin was still on
itits experimental level then in 2011 and you wouldn't blame these people that called
Bitcoin nothing
or value it because
there was no much evidential prove about Bitcoin
, the information, and the knowledge most people have now were not there, But I can't tell the reason why people are even fearful now when there are evidential prove or track records available for them to see about the success rate of Bitcoin as compared to what the early investors who saw Bitcoin had.
