First impressions are hard to change.
The first time a normie runs into Bitcoin, other than in passing, it is usually presented negatively.
That becomes their psychological anchor point for their beliefs about it.
They don't have the time or energy to dig deeper, so they use a heuristic or a shortcut, and that short cut is.... Bitcoin bad
It takes A LOT of evidence or trust to shift them from that anchor position.
I'm only in Bitcoin because my autist of a brother told me to research and buy it.
He researches things to death and is infrequently wrong, so I trusted his opinion and lump-summed in until I could get myself down the rabbit hole.
Funny enough, I'm further down than he is now.
But most people don't have this level of faith in another human being's opinion and so to them.... Bitcoin bad.
Take heart... It's not you.... Your just fighting thousands of years of evolution.
