It's interesting, I surveyed 125 people (relatively spread across age and gender) about their FUD. Fears/criticisms were usually rooted in one major misconception or unrelated focus. People noted that they thought Bitcoin was a scam/ponzi scheme, in a bubble/not worth investing in, one of only a few cryptocurrencies, susceptible to hackers, etc... Though, I had opportunities to interview some of the survey participants afterwards. I addressed their concerns one-by-one (if they had more than one) and asked questions like "What if I told you that Blockchain, the technology that underpins Bitcoin, could make social media more secure and equitable?"addressing relevant use cases. Every person I talked to, after learning about the scope of Blockchain, changed their perception surrounding Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
