I think because we can't physically "see" the BTC, it's easier to dismiss it, or not acknowledge it as "real money". However, it does obviously have value, and I think this perspective can be quite deleterious in terms of gambling... from my experience, it seems that people are more flippant with their BTC.
This is completely right. I agree peolple want to see something physically. They dont believe in what they dont see. That is why there is that one quote that says " To see is to believe" That quote should be erased from history.
