It would be more persuasive if you could point to something that has utility and viability in the here and now. A killer app or something that benefits society and offsets the much talked about negative externalities. From the outside it’s hard to see the good and so the crypto community would benefit greatly by focusing on pr at least as much as the technology itself. When I talk to working class people, the view of Bitcoin is as a tool for the wealthy young tech overlords to make even more outrageous fortunes. Punctuate that with news about ransomware and child trafficking and you can imagine. They hate it a lot. Crypto shouldn’t be an enemy of the poor, but it is according to every poor and working class person I ask. That’s a problem worth solving IMO.
