Stigma on Crypto

in #crypto7 years ago

What is the issue with people not being able to have a conversation about this subject without tearing it down. I'm fairly new to this all and I don't even feel comfortable telling friends what I'm investing in because there seems to be such a negative stigma around crypto currency. Why? What are your experiences? Thoughts on the subject?

I would like to hear thoughts of other newbies, veterans & anyone else who has a story or experience to tell along the lines of the stigma!

Hey Adam, Its not too hard to explain ! just tell your friends they have pretty monopoly money and you have bleeding edge technology that will change the world !

Good answer. Seems simple enough! Lol thanks for the input 😊

I think it could be a few things...

  • Scared of the unkown
  • Most humans don't like change and understanding something new.
  • People weirdly trust a system that has failed them in the past.
  • People don't understand that underlining utility and potential that the technology has! They see it from a monetary point of view and think it's some kind of "Get Rich Quick" scheme.

  • At least this is the general stigma that I receive from the people that I interact with on the daily. (Not on this platform though 💃)

    I for one am excited to see where the technology takes us. We live in very exciting times!

    IMO one day most everything will somehow in someway run through a blockchain, whether the public knows it or not.
