I was talking to someone about bitcoin one day and asked, 'why don't you have any?'
Because he belongs to the majority of people that only do things that are acceptable by the conformity and is too scared to try something new.
He said: 'All I hear are bad things - hacks, thefts...'
Can't actually argue with that. The social media has introduced bitcoin to people as something that is used in the "Deepweb" and the deepweb is something that you don't wanna explore. And because of that, all the positive things that you can get from using bitcoin is now shadowed by the negative and scary thing.
That person you're talking to is just a commoner in terms of IQ level. He's like all the other person that I've talked to about bitcoin that can never be able to adjust their perspective/PoV about a certain thing, in this case, bitcoin. When you try and encourage them to join this community, they'll be all like "Errrrrr. I don't know, man. Blah Blah *insert lame excuses here*"
