Someone answered this question by saying they don't trust it.
I don't think they understand it enough to trust it or distrust it.
When we don't understand something we tend to lose interest in it.... It's like when you come across a word in an article or book and you don't know what it means or even how to pronounce it... your mind immediately goes about weighing the pain vs the weight of the pleasure.
Ex: Is it worth the effort to look this word up and find out what it means? What is the article about? What will it do for me? /// Usually the answer is: "F^ it," and they put the book down or continue surfing the net for something that's not so complicated and time-consuming.
Crypto currency is not something you can live-in or drive or wear and this is how human beings (especially Americans) determine the value of something.
We can't throw it against the wall, show it off, post pictures of it on Facebook or screw it.... so we turn away.
Well-less than 1% of the adult American population has any clue of what crypt-currency is, but the few who can see the big picture, and understand that the times are changing, can reevaluate the value of something and can understand the value relative to the USD, are doing what the exclusive rich-boys have been doing for centuries.
The only real differences are: It's, in no way, connected-to or associated with Wall Street.... and here's the big one ===> instead of paying our employees slave wages to increase our value... they become the owners, the bank and the government.
We have beaten the system and we're getting very wealthy.
