A lot of people are un-reasonably excited about Bitcoin and crypto, in large part because VC backed companies are pushing the story that there is money to be made there.
A lot of those people will lose their savings and/or their shirts because they are not made aware of the fact that those companies are on the sell side. You can do your utmost best to try to separate that from 'Bitcoin and crypto' but to your average victim that doesn't really mean much.
I've used crypto, I think I understand the main limitations, have mined a single bitcoin back in the day when this was still possible on a GPU, received donations and made donations using bitcoin, in the end I see it is of limited usefulness, mostly related to when people are unbankable for a variety of reasons, but I do not buy the hype.
