Exactly! I honestly think the people who say things like that:

1. Don't know what it is.
2. Have just heard so much negative (and false) information about crypto. i.e. - it's a scam, or it's just for criminals.

The funniest part - when you ask these people how would you "Invest in blockhain, but not bitcoin (or others)" They have no idea how to answer that! Think about it... "Yeah, you should invest in blockchain, but not the most well-known, disrupting, cutting-edge application that is built on it..."*
