You forgot to mention the third kind of person: those who understand that Bitcoin is a tool to transfer value in a decentralized way and it is not supposed to be a easy way to become millionaire. If you pay attention to this forum, you can see that there are people who are very aware on how blockchain technology works, its challenges and strengths.

Those things you have said mostly apply to people who are not technologically savvy and do not have much idea about the value decentralization has for the world, specially during times when populists and authoritarian crooks seek to strip away the wealth off their legitimate owners.

There's a lot of people who are not really tech savvy but invested in crypto because they just see other people see it. I've seen a lot of them in my neighborhood, all of them gets sad when a certain P2E game loses it value. Crypto industry will not be the responsible for our trust it should be on us, we need to make some research before putting some money into tokens and coins.

There is two types of person, one who think like crypto is kind of gambling where you have to invest sudden amount then you will become rich and one is who directly said that crypto is useless. People don't try to understand what kind of technology behind this. they Don't try to understand what is blockchain? how it works? what is decentralization system and what is future of technology? When we understand all this then only we can invest our money in right way.

The point is I've been invest with crypto since 2015 and I am actually glad today. The right thing I've ever done in my life is to invest in crypto.

Looking for guilt best look first into a mirror

Transparency. I think it will be the first step to rebuilding the public's faith and confidence in crypto.

I think education is the one thing which makes it possible to avoid fraud.
Yes FTX and Terra both have their share of guilt. Terra was done by blackrock and FTX fell short of oversight.

Quote

Charles Hoskinson shared a message which alleges the cause of the price crash of LUNA and UST.
The message involves a scheme created by Blackrock (NYSE:BLK) and Citadel to trigger massive liquidation.
Meanwhile, Do Kwon shared their LUNA and UST price recovery plan.

Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson recently shared a message that alleges the cause of the price crash of Terra (LUNA) and stablecoin UST.

And even if they deny that, it's a bit late.

The center issue is that exchanges have really nothing to do with those coins working as a P2P payment service. In the world of the ripple CEO Trust is not really what they have written on their banner. Crypto as it was intended is P2P, the decentralized coins, those without a CEO should open a few online Schools for people eager to educate themselves on Fraud, Trust to exchanges and so on.

Coinbase, Binance could collapse, they are too big to run without banks. In the world of Exchanges FIAT plays a role.

I don't think I have seen any token in this space that divides opinion like the $XRP token, it has its own army but the core Bitcoin and Ethereum people do not like the projects. One of the primary criticisms of XRP is that it is not truly decentralized, unlike Bitcoin, Ripple Labs, the company behind XRP, has control over the majority of XRP tokens, and the company's founders and executives have been accused of exerting too much control over the network, this just goes against everything Satoshi stands for, also the team keeps dumping their tokens on the market, can you imagine Satoshi dumping his coins on the market at every given opportunity. They can come out to say this because of the Legal issues Ripple Labs is facing from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over allegations that XRP is unregistered security, I am not surprised about this because Roger Ver has been saying this for some time and SEC comes after them.

But I believe the whole space needs to come together now, with attacks coming from every angle now, we need to stand together more than before

Prior to the 2008 economic crisis and the US real estate market crash. It was unthinkable that such a financial crisis could occur on american soil. Everyone was taken by surprise and few were prepared.

It's funny how most economic and financial disasters are done by the governments and the central banks, but after a financial/economic disaster strikes, all the government officials and central bankers start shouting "more regulations, more government control!"
The 2008 crisis was created by the financial deregulation and the "easy money" monetary policies of the Federal Reserve.
Anyway, back to the subject. Ripple isn't a cryptocurrency. Ripple is a company. It has a CEO. This is hilarious. His opinions about crypto are no different than the opinion of a fiat banker.
The crypto industry needs better regulations, not more regulations. The scam shitcoins and scam crypto companies have to be wiped out of the crypto world. Unfortunately, we can't do this by ourselves. The governments have to step up, but I'm not optimistic about the crypto world having better regulations anytime soon.

It pretty disturbing to really see people discomforting themselves bout those creepy bastards, and who the hell is hebfor people to gain trust with what he has to say? All they do is all in the name for them self-centered desires.
The effects of centralized exchnages failing really isn't from crypto is it not?!

I really do think they understand this stuff's bout crypto currency really well and they know what losses they're to get when mass adoption comes and everyone sides with decentralization. They are not ready for that so indirectly doing all they could to put that to a stop.
I believe the Feds, the media and greedy CEO'S are all ok these together. Haven't banks taught em valuable lessons already? Maybe they need to go through that thrice or for the fifth time.

If our goal is to rebuild the public's faith and confidence in crypto, what would be our 1st step?

The crypto space doesn't really have anything to do to build trust. The centralized exchanges that have broken the trust of the public are the ones who need to look for a way to build it back, but I doubt that will be possible again. The real crypto believers don't need anyone to convince them to have trust over what they already have. To me, the work to be done here is left for projects like Luna and FTX, who mismanaged public funds over their own interests; they have more work to do to convince the Sec and other governments that they can be trusted again, assuming they still have the intention of coming back strong under the same name.

In the first place, the one who destroyed the so called "trust" first are the ones responsible for managing a lot of centralized transactions promising "safe" future for their user's finances. I hate to say this in advance but I don't think crypto industry needs a lot of trust since anything can happen as long as centralized platforms intervene, and if they did it will only cause huge problems for the crypto users and worse possible case is that, the so called trust will end up useless just like what mostly happens in the past.

Give all before death

Quote from: Wong Gendheng on March 11, 2023, 05:09:53 AM

The number of scam cases in cryptocurrencies makes public trust decreases, of course the latest is FTX which makes losses up to billions of dollars, public trust can increase if there are serious crypto companies and have strong legality, binance has made great expansion in many countries and they follow the regulation so that gain great trust from the public.

I agree that some crypto firms are giving the sector a bad name because of their recklessness and mismanagement of customers' funds. And the industry has started rebuilding its trust level gradually. There was news that FTX has recovered $7.3bn (£5.8bn) and the exchange might restart its operation later this year. This year has also been good because there have been little or no issues of crypto firm issues. As crypto awareness keep increasing people will be able to know how to safely keep thier investment.

I think it is the banks that should start rebuilding thier trust. Just this year we have had some key banks collapse which include top banks like Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, Signature Bank, Credit Suisse, and their still predictions that more banks will still collapse.

Transparency. I think it will be the first step to rebuilding the public's faith and confidence in crypto. This is also one of the reasons why Bitcoin is the most trusted cryptocurrency in the industry. Bitcoin never hides anything. These crypto start-ups and ongoing crypto companies must be transparent to the public.

Being transparent can prevent fraud and scams. One example of this that walks against transparency is FTX. They are not transparent with their investors and create a backdoor program so that they can siphon the FTX funds toward Alameda to embezzle the ftx funds.

That could be a domino effect when it comes to the trust issues and with this, the government is just trying to ruin it and if XRP didn’t violate anything, then SEC should be more responsible for this and this could be a big win to XRP and in the whole market. There’s a lot of issues with crypto honestly but the trust with Bitcoin is still there and it might be affected by these kind of issues, I believe many will still buy Bitcoin for a reason. If the result of SEC will be released this year, I hope XRP will prevail because that can totally affect the market trend and might create another hype going into a bull trend.

Lol, he said that? First of all, Ripple has to rebuild some trust. Secondly crypto is crypto, all the things that happened were in the crypto industry but not anything with crypto itself. When luna crashed, that was an issue about luna, not crypto in general, when ftx bankrupted, that was related to ftx and not crypto itself, when anything like that happens, it is always about some company or some developers but not crypto in general.

So if you ask me, bitcoin has no trust to rebuild, it is trusted more than any other currency or investment asset in my mind, and I am sure there are millions of people in the world who agree with me on this as well.

True, but the effects of those breaches of trust not only affected those companies but the market in general, so if a big enough actor misbehaves it can affect the rest, even if they are following the regulations put in place to the letter, and while bitcoin does not need to do anything to rebuild the trust the community has in it, as it never lost it, centralized exchanges do have a lot of work to do, otherwise their profits could be severely affected over the long term.

The blame would go against the fall of FTX and then that's where everything has come from. But before pointing out that the entire crypto industry to regain trust, people have more faith and trust in bitcoin than any of them. So, on this thing, Brad has to focus on their company and project first to regain the trust of everyone. They should win against the SEC case before telling things as if he's the one that's giving the best advise of them all.

It's very hard for people to trust crypto when it's demonized by the media all the time and the government doesn't have a clear law about it.

Then trust bitcoin, not "crypto".

There's a reason, and I agree with some of these politicians who say most crypto is a scam, because it is. Just look at the IPOs from 2017/18, most of them were scams. All the fake bitcoin cryptos were scams made to capitalize on having bitcoin in their name and being cheaper, so that the average Joe would throw some money their way.

I think Ripple has to really win thier fight against SEC so they will finally draw the line which is security and which is not. This I guess can be the first step. The SEC itself classifying stablecoin as security is already not making crypto industry look good. While Gensler himself has a close relationship with the FTX team. Cracking down crypto or the one they call operation Chokepoint will not give them the soft landing or the viable exit strategy as they are pushing the crypto players offshore.

They can as well lose, I won't miss them. XRP was made as a bitcoin's competitor from the start. They wanted to make a more centralized bitcoin with a large pool of coins under the team's control. They thought the traditional financial system would like them more if they had a CEO and a team of lawyers, but as we can see banks don't like crypto at all and registering a company just makes you a bigger target.

I can agree that the reputation or public perception most of the people could have about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general have been kind of stained, because the failure of projects last year.

I cannot blame them, though. We are talking a lot of money that belonged to common people searching for good projects and ended up losing it all on Terra-Luna, FTX, Blockfi, Celcius, etc. This is a problem that is correlated to the success of Bitcoin and the apparent ignorance of the newbie investor believing himself to be wise enough to spot the next trend or top altcoin or catching a "safe" source of passive income , when we already have a formula that is ideal to that kind of people who does not know much:

Bitcoin + self-custody. That should be enough to cultivate trust on oneself (as responsible manager of one's own satoshis). Roll Eyes

I’m amused this is coming from the centralised project itself who has already lost the trust of their investors due to malpractices in the past and various court appeals for undermined balance sheets. Something is not right here when you are king of untrusted stuff and make claims like these.

We do not need to rebuild anything for very long time because trust issues are with the Altcoins most of the times while bitcoin has no gain or losses since its inception in terms of trust. In fact bitcoin is the coin which is keeping that glaze of crypto space.

We lost the trust due to bombarded scam projects everywhere through altcoin chains.

I doubt if there is a way to build trust in this industry, the damage is much for that there would be a lot crypto coin that will go downhill or sideway. It's too open for anyone to come build their projects at last it turns to scams and one is being questioned of what happened.

Today, the market lives in the lowest levels of confidence in cryptocurrencies, since we are still living the repercussions of the fall of the Ftx platform, which followed the collapse of the Luna network. No wonder trust in cryptocurrencies, especially among retail users, is at an all-time low.
This explains the fact that many trading platforms have disclosed more data about their financial resources and the emergence of the concept of "proof of reserve" to achieve more transparency in their activities.
On this article it was noted (without citing the source) that Coindesk mentioned in a detailed report that Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is currently assembling a group of crypto companies with the aim of rebuilding trust in the industry.

Compare rates on different exchanges & swap.

Well, the trust was meant by Satoshi to be in fraud-proof features that always follow the right rules/programs with no freewill to cheat or choose to be evil. But certain people/things weakened the features. It's like keeping a vending machine in a public or trustless environment for users, but you have to be worried about the vending machine getting corrupted or reprogrammed to cheat if it not decentralized, immutable, transparent, and allowing anyone to checks and balances it for correctness or obedience to its rules.
True cryptocurrency like Bitcoin is designed to be more trustworthy than corrupted/lawless humans who have ultimate control/power over people's assets without proper checks and balances. Satoshi came up with a way to tackle this problem by building system that should always obey the rules that guides it. Still, you have to be worried about a corrupt/lawless humans changing the rules or not following it by centralizing the system, making it opaque, mutable, Etc. Isn't that the issue with Ripple and false cryptocurrencies?
