All the people I talked to who hated crypto didn’t understand it at all

I personally try no to talk with other people about cryptocurrency to much, but as i study computer science and also work in the space i often get questions regarding cryptocurrency.

Most people just want to know what bitcoin is and how it is different from online banking, but some also ask questions about ethereum or latetly NFTs. But still 90% of people are really suprised to hear that there are more cryptocurrency out there than just bitcoin. Most of the people that do know other cryptos sadly want to talk about doge or shiba inu...

These talks usually go well and most people are genuinely interessted to learn more about crypto. Some like the cyberpunk mindset of bitcoin, some like the potential of smart contracts and some ask me how the can turn their drawings into NFTs.

But there are also people out their who absolutly hate crypto and i have noticed one thing all these people have in common: they have no fucking clue about crypto.

I have yet to meet a crypto hater who could explain to me even the basics of how a blockchain works or to know the difference between POW and POS. Most of them have just read a newspaper article telling them crypto is used by criminals and tax evaders.

On the other hand most of these people understood really quick that there is much more to crypto than they knew so far. I know a lot of people in the crypto space avoid talking about the subject to others, but i think explaining some of the concepts to others is really important not only to help adoption but also to improve the image of crypto in the general public.

That being said never tell anyone how much crypto you own ;)

Thanks for reading. Cheers!
