It just feels akin to the adult industry, except that some large institutions are involved. I'm very disappointed that BTC is still not accepted everywhere after 16 years of existence đ˘
The word âBitcoinâ immediately grabs attentionâpeopleâs ears perk up, their eyes widen. Yet, outside of a few close family members, almost no one around me even knows Iâm involved in Web3. And honestly, if they did find out, many wouldnât hesitate to label me a scammer or a fraud.
It sounds outrageous, I knowâbut this reaction is rooted in fear. Fear of what they donât understand, fear of the unknown, and fear shaped by years of media narratives linking crypto to scams and speculation.
In India especially, where trust and traditional finance hold significant sway, Bitcoin and decentralization still feel alienâfar removed from daily realities.
Even after 16 years of Bitcoinâs existence, real adoption remains minimalânot because the technology lacks potential, but because perception still dominates conversation more than understanding.
