Still feel awkward to display affinity towards bitcoin in public

So i’ve been in the crypto / bitcoin space since 2017. Most of my friends know i like and follow bitcoin. I don’t mind discussing it in personal circles and acquaintances.

However, i recently bought a copy of ‘The Bitcoin Standard’ and started reading it but i am uncomfortable reading it with its cover on display on public transport.

I find it weird that after all these years, and so much mainstream acceptance for bitcoin, i still find it awkward to display my affinity to bitcoin coin in public. I feel people will judge me - for something not sure what.

Is it just me or is it true for most of you folks. When will this change.
