People really don't understand cryptocurrency. I have talked to family and friends and they all think its a joke. I have been investing my time and income to pick up little bits of bitcoin at its lowest, i have been able to make a small profit so far but the real money is in mining. The general public think that its a joke because it has nothing backing it. Personally i think if we are all about the future and technology, that a currency system not controlled by the government is better no matter what.
