People are fed up with lies about crypto currency which is vastly used for online scam. These kinds of reason is the sole reason why they dont even consider to use crypto currency.
People's natural reaction to change is usually negative. This is a natural psychological reaction that happens to anything, not only with crypto. They are quick to reject it even while they haven't even given a chance to get to know it.

People don't even consider cryptocurrency because they are scared of something so alien and new to them.
