> They don't see the huge silent majority of tech people who know it's a scam. That's on us Serious question: What does "not silence" looks like? Anyone who asks me gets my viewpoint on cryptocurrency and blockchains generally (which is more or less the same as Maciej's). My relatives all know it, but they also know another relative (who also thinks it is a scam!) made a couple K back in the first bubble because he was just playing around with the software. My coworkers all know it. Repeating it only causes strife, not education. People don't want to hear they've made bad financial decisions no matter the time, place, or tone. They instantly get defensive. I mentioned it in passing to a new hire in their trial period recently and got a really nervous look like "is this guy going to not give me a permanent contract because I liked bitcoin?" There's no forum in our society for us to say "this is a scam" that isn't run by people with millions or billions of dollars invested in that scam - unless you're famous enough to get on cable news as a minor tech entrepreneur - and no social maneuvering that makes it effective on a personal level.
