they definitely understand the need of blockchain in the credit system, we all want security and transparency when it comes to money.
yeah, i think the largest hurdle is going to be overcoming the 'criminal' and 'scam' reputation that comes along with blockchain. The average person on the street still think it's bitcoin is illegal lol
They majority think it's illegal as that's how the media have portrayed it. but again like everything that has a "Reputation" it's the minority that ruin it for the majority.
Yes I would also say these recent exchange hacks do not fill people with huge confidence and the amount of FUD around bitcoin at the moment is ridiculous, can't wait for it to pump to the heavens towards the end of this year.
