I don’t think you guys understand just how bad normie sentiment is towards crypto sometimes. It’s REALLY BAD. 

people think less of me for fw it 

yes yes i know ignore etc whatever 

I more so bring this up so you can be clear eyed about mass adoption

It's actually a really good heuristic for normies to identify anything associated with crypto as a scam. The vast majority of crypto that the average person has been exposed to has been literal scams. I don't know where to go from here because I personally find it hard to defend crypto sometimes.
