As the saying goes, people fear what they don't understand. In my country, bitcoin is popular but not well-received because people think it's another one of those pyramid scams that are rampant here. They don't understand how it works, so they make all kinds of assumptions, mostly inaccurate or totally adsurd ones. The only way to eliminate the fear of getting into crypto is to make them understand what's it for and how it works. So, you did the right thing.
Actually it is natural that most people will find it difficult to accept something new. Moreover, Bitcoin is a new technology that is not easy
for people to understand. With the existence of social media Bitcoin in a short time has become popular, most people have at least heard of
Bitcoin. But the problem is that there are still many people who don't understand Bitcoin. Moreover, there are quite a lot of scams happening
in the crypto world. This leads people to get misinformed about Bitcoin, even in my area Bitcoin is still considered something negative.
This is the importance of educating people about Bitcoin, so that many people get the right information and get to know Bitcoin well. So that
Bitcoin can provide benefits to many people. That's why I started educating my family and my friends first, so that they can understand
how Bitcoin works, that way Bitcoin will be able to help many people.
Not really that hard to understand if you do ask me and even if someone would make out some very basic explaination then it could really be possibly able
to be understand even with those people who do have that knowledge specially on technology and yes there might be some targetted audience or people
on this one but speaking it out on other people wont really be that an issue nor hard as long you do give out the simplest description
on whats Bitcoin and how do it works or on how it do functions.
What you say is true, if people have a strong desire to learn and get the right information it shouldn't be difficult to understand Bitcoin.
And that's what you may experience, so for those of you learning how Bitcoin works is not that difficult. But most people know Bitcoin from
the wrong information, they sometimes read from the wrong sources. Moreover, some of the terms Bitcoin do sound unfamiliar, plus the news
that is not true from the government. Even when I first learned about Bitcoin from the internet, I was quite confused about what decentralization
and blockchain are. It took me a year to really believe in Bitcoin and first time investing in Bitcoin. Therefore I am very happy if Bitcoin is taught
in schools, because it is very good to know Bitcoin early on, so many people will understand how Bitcoin works.
