• Due to the Bitcoin Volatility history, people consider it as a very risky investment.
  People don't know how cryptocurrencies work.

Calling those people idiots is not the right thing. As all of us know that the bitcoin price is rising continuously. It just that those people believe in Bitcoin's potential and may able to manage the risk.
Definitely, those people have some sound future planning. An ordinary person with lower financial sources can't do that kind of dare. Maybe they are investors, high net worth individuals, big companies, and traders who want to get profits in a short time or for the long term.

As there is no particular owner for the bitcoin repository. But the bitcoin community can deploy the changes if required. The community as a whole can never be forced to adopt undesirable changes to Bitcoin protocols. Anyone can submit a BIP(Bitcoin Improvement Proposals) that aims to change the bitcoin core. The BIP must be approved by an editor.
The BIP must be voted in with 95% confidence from the miners. The community must upgrade to the new software version.

Despite the success records of Bitcoins and individuals' investment in bitcoins, Bitcoin may not replace the traditional currencies. As traditional currencies are printed & controlled by the governments whereas bitcoin doesn't control by a third party.
