People being afraid of BTC, for what reason?
Because they don't want to give away their "real" money? Some will think "hey, if anyone can generate these 'Bitcoins' it can't be real money!".
This is why i think that we shouldn't talk about "producing" or "generating" bitcoins, but about "mining" instead.
First 2 words create false impression that you can easily get bitcoins.
Bitcoin is similiar to gold in almost every way, so it should be compared to mining & called mining.
