If we talk about what the OP writes, then for an ignorant person, of course, Bitcoin will be presented as a mysterious coin.
However, to stop being afraid and begin to understand Bitcoin, you need to start using it. The creation of bitcoin did not have any bad intentions; on the contrary, it was invented for convenience, as well as for personal ownership of one's finances without interference from other parties. Just take the time to take the blinders off your eyes and start experiencing bitcoin.
I agree with you, but unfortunately a lot of people believe the media and skeptics with negative views about crypto.
Most of my friends, to whom I tried to introduce bitcoin, reacted very negatively and skeptically, based on what they heard from someone else or read somewhere.
Their thinking is that bitcoin is something very risky, or something mostly used by criminals for illegal activities.
That's why I understand the OP and his question.
In my country, the application of bitcoin is slowly expanding in everyday life, from the possibility of buying and selling at post offices to the possibility of using it to buy daily necessities.
In this way, I believe that over time more and more people will understand the value of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and that such questions and doubts will be less and less.
