Most of these people we are talking to online do not deal with code and logic. They rely on others to spoon feed them information, like little babies, but with fancy suits on. Many of them are very accustomed to the existing system working very favorably for them. They cannot comprehend how corrupt and dishonest it is, as it provides for their every want and material need. There is a lot of effort going in to discrediting crypto because it is the first genuine threat to the status quo. That sort of fundamental purification of the underlying mechanisms attacks the heart of a vast, powerful, and unimaginably corrupt piece of society. Let the talkers talk. They are acting in bad faith by speaking as if knowing something when knowing the thing will 100% convert you to its side, unless you are a bad actor that profits off the corruption. There is a beautiful elegance to that. Since most people, I think, are "good," then naturally the conclusion is rightly just ignorance. People who read the code and understand what the real deal looks like will profit. Fighting against math is always a losing battle.
