Good and fine, we can decided to carryout our own research about Cryptocurrency but what measure are we to take in convincing those people out there that cryptocurrency is not what they thought it was, because we need to realize that scams im cryptocurrency is also one of the reasons why this keep repeating itself about people's disbelieves on cryptocurrency, are we ourselves within the system faithful? are we contributing for or against scam activities? before you can convince an outsider about something in your possession then you yourself must exercise confidence and mastery over it with proven results good enough for convincing others.

Most common misconception in my experience:

Cryptocurrencies are most likely a scam, well according to my social media friends who knows very little about cryptocurrency. Bitcoin for example, most of them would have the same misconceptions.

"naku padadamahin ka lang nyan sa simula pero pag malaki na pinasok mo tatakbo na yan"

Translation:

It will just trick you by making you comfortable then when you invest a larger amount, they will run.

I just replied to them, I did not convert any cash I've earned outside of cryptocurrency to Bitcoin. Instead I use bitcoin that I earned outside of crypto, paying bills for example. I told them that they can choose to invest cash to crypto but again the volatility is very high, or he can look for ways to earn crypto without investing money. Just some elbow grease and time of course.

Then I gave them this link

how to earn bitcoins

Maybe they changed their view if they really paid some time to read more here on the forum.

Which misconceptions do you know and what are you doing to debunk it?

The most common misconception I know and often hear this from older generations is that cryptocurrencies are just a ponzi scheme. Best example would be my parents, they don't believe on the concept of money on the internet. They told me it was a scam when I invested some of my money on it. They said that where is the money coming that I used to withdraw when I do trading or get it as payment from freelancing. Their generation is really hard to educate because they are born with no many technology existing yet. They don't really know how it works so what I just do is correct them sometimes when I hear them telling other people that these crypto are scam.

Debunk a wrong thinking that cryptocurrencies are related closely with quick rich adventure.

Cryptocurrencies can be used for many use cases and financial incentive is not a main reason to convince a person to use one cryptocurrency or invest in it. Cryptocurrency industry needs more time to get rid of this wrong thinking. When it happens, we will have a cleaner and more sustainable cryptocurrency market. Because people will use a cryptocurrency from their belief in tech, convenience or invest in it with a same background.

Now if you ask people, 95% or more, you will receive answer like "I don't understand blockchain, I don't know that this project does, but I heard people say crypto market is very potential to get rich very quickly". It's absurd.

It is up to us to debunk misconceptions about Crypto Currencies...

Unfortunately, some people as a result of the misconceptions that they have accommodated, they have even without knowing taken wrong conclusions that crypto is not good for them, while others that crypto is a scam. As crypto hodlers we must try as much to assist those who have been ill informed with proper information and proof. In trying to debunk a certain misconception, we must do it constructively and not in a manner that can mistaken for being rude or forceful.

I have created recently some new topics, where I debunked a misconception:

Misconceptions about Avalanche - Avalanche is a Coin, not a Token
Very important to do our research: Avalanche [AVAX] is a capped asset

Probably, you know about more Crypto Currency misconceptions and in my opinion, it's very important to create educational content and debunk misconceptions.
