In our country OP once we talked about bitcoin and crypto, mostly they have negative perspective on it, and as you've said that we couldn't blame them due to the past events that happened to them or the community their opinion wouldn't change easily not unless we could convince them.

IMO, I don't want to convince anyone in my neighborhood regarding bitcoin or crypto, I'm sure there will be time in the future that they will switch their interest in these things, coz as of now I could see that they are slowly learning about online money without being aware that they are already on their way to learn cryptocurrency.

In my opinion Changing public perception towards Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies requires education and awareness-building. This can be achieved through various means such as creating informative content, organizing workshops, and engaging with individuals and communities to address their concerns and questions.

What this means Collaboration with mainstream media and influencers can also help in reaching a wider audience and showcasing the positive aspects of cryptocurrency, such as its potential to empower individuals and promote financial inclusion. Additionally, regulatory clarity and improved security measures can help in building trust and confidence among the public.

For creating a positive narrative around cryptocurrency requires concerted efforts from various stakeholders, including industry players, policymakers, and the public.

Exactly a good point for OP.

Normal humans are influenced by what we read, see, hear, and the environment we find ourselves in, but the good thing is that humans never stop learning. If you see a person who has a negative influence about Bitcoin, you can always explain to them to better their understanding. Though, some people think that the only crypto is Bitcoin (yes!) and that's why most individuals of the public would always have a negative impression about Bitcoin because they have fallen victim to some scam projects or their friends. Scam projects that get prompted on social media have disappeared with some individuals money, and as these processes continue to take place, it will still make some people see crypto in a bad way, but Bitcoin is not really the coin that may have given them the negative impression, so when we see people like that, the good thing to do for them is make them understand better what they don't know.

To transform the public's negative impression of digital currencies into a positive one, it's critical to zero in on training, guideline, advancing the advantages, joint effort, and straightforwardness. The public's perception of cryptocurrencies as a legitimate means of payment and investment can be shifted by providing accurate and reliable information on them, enacting clear regulations, highlighting the potential benefits of using them, encouraging collaboration between the industry, governments, and traditional financial institutions, and encouraging transparency in the cryptocurrency industry.

Regarding the negative public perception of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, it is indeed difficult to fix. However, this can be achieved with continued effort and an effective communication strategy. It should be remembered that changing the public's perception of Bitcoin is an ongoing process and requires the efforts of many people.

One of the challenges in changing public perception of Bitcoin is how to convey technical information to the public without a technical background. It is also important to speak in a language that is easy for lay people to understand. Sometimes people's perception of Bitcoin is influenced by the bad image created by some people or fraud cases that occur in the cryptocurrency world. therefore it is important to continue to improve the image of Bitcoin by implementing strict security and privacy standards, and taking strong action against those who violate regulations.

I think that by providing correct and clear information, promoting the benefits of Bitcoin, maintaining Bitcoin's image, and keeping communications open and transparent, we can help change the public's perception of Bitcoin and make it more acceptable to the wider community.

It would be cool if there was some sort of non-profit donation based Bitcoin education organization.

An organization just focused on providing resources and like actually promoting (advertising) Bitcoin in an educational and factual way. Most people who just casually know about Bitcoin just occasionally see negative headlines and their perception of Bitcoin is just based on misinformation.

Would be good to have a body promoting education to fight back against the mass of misinformation.

The Bitcoin message has been watered down by 'Crypto'. People get confused between Bitcoin and Crypto/Web3/scams/exchange hacks/etc. And crypto companies generally just promote their business, not Bitcoin itself.

A community led Bitcoin educational organization that produces real fact-based educational media to display to the masses, not just a website because only people interested in Bitcoin in the first place would go to a website, but instead actually advertising, would be cool.

Everyone's assumptions will always be different. because everyone's point of view is always different. and everyone's first impression of bitcoin always varies.
because the initial story of someone being interested in bitcoin is of course also different. but in the 3 things you mentioned, one of them is the most likely to be the initial story of someone being interested and curious about bitcoin or crypto. and the most common reason is always from seeing the condition of someone who gets a big advantage. everyone tends to want to imitate the success that has been achieved by someone. not even a few of them have the notion that they too can do it easily. they entered hastily. without analyzing and studying it in depth. these types of people sometimes don't survive much in the crypto industry. Even their perception of crypto can be unfavorable. this is due to the lack of insight he gets. Because it doesn't focus at all on knowledge about crypto and the ins and outs of it like usability and such. this type of person focuses more only on the profit he can get, but sometimes they don't want to bother studying it deeper. Even though if we want to benefit from something, we must first know everything that we are going to enter into. So that we will know how we can benefit with minimized risk. The point is that most people who have a negative perception of bitcoin are those who don't study it seriously. they stopped in the middle of the road. and they only hear from the news circulating without inquiring deeply.

that's why cryptocurrency education is important nowadays. but in my country, Indonesia, we can see several government efforts to introduce crypto to the public. In fact, there are many events held by large exchanges in Indonesia that work with the government to build awareness in the community so that they are more familiar with the digital era and the ins and outs in it.

Or a life were they get to use a censorship resistant currency, and truly own and control their money without a third party having the final say on what happens to their money, that should be the reason why you would want to introduce BTC to people. If you promise them the idea of a better life or riches, you are putting yourself at crossroads, because you don't know when BTC price is going to pump, and you also do not know if they would want to hold it for a long time.

I do not have any intentions of changing people's perspective about BTC, the record and history is there for them to study, but if you want to, make sure you are introducing them to to censorship resistant currency and not one they would think was created to give them wealth and riches.

I see this problem too, and I think it's better to increase education and create more useful material about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Specifically we can create videos, articles, tutorials, books on how to use and invest in these cryptocurrencies. These documents need to be written in a clear and understandable way to help the public better understand Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Of course, today's cyber information is chaotic, but instead of seeing it as a barrier, just try to spread the truth about this field more. As well as the creation of events and activities related to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. We can organize seminars, contests about Bitcoin, exchange events and exchange experiences on investing in these cryptocurrencies.

I will ignore negative views about bitcoin because gradually things like that will fade away, because in the end everyone starts to realize the good uses and benefits of bitcoin.
and apart from a number of reasons that they put forward and I think the most striking is because they think the way bitcoin works is difficult which is actually very easy once it's involved, and besides that bitcoin is also a new asset class so it's still easy to manipulate with various things it still scares people, but that doesn't diminish bitcoin's growth and ever-increasing popularity and it will continue to do so until everyone realizes it for themselves.
