It also happens to me when I talk about Bitcoin with other people. 90% of the time the answer is that it’s a scam, that it helps criminals, that it’s used for illegal trafficking. The truth is that until the big banks and governments say ‘use Bitcoin, it’s a sound and decentralized currency,’ they will keep using fiat. When banks and the mass media start saying that Bitcoin is not for criminals—in fact, the currency most used in crime is still the USD—then people will start to come in en masse (maybe too late if they’re only watching the price). Unfortunately, most people are like a herd being led by their master.
