Is it because there was at least one article that said it was something that had been compromised by the big scary evil government?
Actually, I think it mostly comes down to a combination of the following:
- Fear of the unknown
- Fear of reprisal from their current employer
- Fear of the tax mess
- Distrust of the system
- Lack of interest
- False belief that crypto is used mostly by criminals
It took me a while to get over my crypto fears myself... I joined Hive when it was Steemit as a first step into crypto. Probably should have started slower. After getting used to the whole idea of crypto, I was hooked.
There's no way the legacy banking industry is going to survive without transitioning over to blockchain. It's just too easy.
If you've got friend in Country C who needs money, just send whatever amount you want for 4 cents. It's ridiculously easy and cheap.
Anyway... Probably should have made this a post of my own.
Oh well... Maybe I think better in comment format.
If they're fearing reprisal from current employers for using a different browser there is something seriously wrong with that employer and perhaps seeking a new job should be in the near future XD
The other things are definitely things.
You can still write a post about it if you so felt the inclination but I don't see how having people who can long form comment can possibly be a bad thing ;D
or perhaps I'm just saying that because I can leave some essays when I feel like it x_x lol
