Bitcoin is an example of this already played out.

News cycle perpetuates bitcoin == bad so everyone you know just repeats "scam" and points to criminals.

Meanwhile the largest institutions and richest people are investing heavily due to its revolutionary nature. Just look at all the ETFs coming out (Blackrock, Fidelity, etc).

Once they are fully setup you'll see the news cycle change sentiment. Rinse, repeat, with any technology.
