The underlying concept of how effective and profitable BTC is or would be, comes to you ONLY when you take the efforts to venture, study, gain knowledge and be properly educated on the subject. The media or anti-crypto-currency commentators that labels BTC as “scam”, “fraudulent”, “fake”, “it doesn't exist” have either miserable failed for their own fault, or enjoy by warning clueless people about it being a potential "scam" or "bubble".
That traditional concepts that the old crowd have filled their brains with are not enough to understand the concepts of Crypto-currency. To them everything has to fall into a well established category. There can't be a new thing. They fail to accept a concept that creates a category of its own. This is the fallacy of old men. If you have been doing the same thing for 30 or 40 years and someone shows you that it can be done differently you take a defensive stance. When something is foreign or unfamiliar to them, they'd rather hate on it than choose to understand it. They are quick to judge without even trying to fully understand all about bitcoin. See, when you hold an asset, you either tend to be quiet about the associated FUD. When you hold nothing, you feel comfortable shouting FUD from the rooftops.
Let us take the initiative to continually be informed, be educated, and start to believe in its real concepts. Let us also inform and educate the new and needy and help them by being a part of the crypto-currency world. We need to let the internet-connected social media sites and the online news sites stay comfortably in their ignorance.
Well said my friend!
but I'm not sure what you mean by letting "the internet-connected social media sites and the online news sites stay comfortably in their ignorance."
