The fear is used to get people to do something specific that the government wants. The media is merely an arm that goes along with all the nonsense.
Traditional media has lost its effectiveness, so the trend of the young generation has shifted to social media. We cannot get rid of the media completely because we still need it for news and verification, but in many countries, it is also completely controlled.
The human race easily has the opportunity to use Bitcoin and tell governments to all fuck off with their taxes completely but people are too scared because the media said Bitcoin is bad and used by criminals. 
Investment experiences of common people have never been good as almost the majority consider forex or the stock market as a scam In which only common people's investment is taken away from them, but one thing that gives them confidence is its legality, While no one has control over Bitcoin, it awakens their fear that the media has already instilled in them, of losing their investment or being arrested for illegal trading and manipulation, etc.
The unwarranted propaganda of the media has changed the psyche of the people to feel more content to be controlled than free because of the guarantee given by the media or the government even if it is false.
Yes, we know that these various kinds of propaganda issues exist with the media and with the government, and sure there might be more areas of desperation in times like these in which all things seem to be collapsing.. and even worse, in some ways, as compared with previous times, yet the question still remains what are we going to do on an individual level.
On an individual level we can create public opinion for BTC starting from our own home, with trusted relatives or friends, In addition, social media is also the best place to highlight the merits of Bitcoin by describing the oppressive policies and failures of the system we all live in, Because most people have this misconception that BTC will make you a millionaire overnight or your investment will sink, we have to tell people that this is not the real purpose of BTC And such experiences can be avoided but the condition is that you have enough knowledge about the market and BTC.
Bitcoin Bunny (BB) suggested bitcoin as being part of the solution, even though BB continues to talk about the so many problems in the world, so I would imagine that even he does not believe that bitcoin can fix all of the crazy-ass things - at least not in the short-to-medium term and effectively as long as most of us will be living, we are going to likely continue to be in a kind of transitional state of affairs in which bitcoin is going to serve as part of the solution for a lot of us.. and it is likely even governments and media are going to end up coming around to bitcoin, too.. but probably NOT without any kinds of major battles and ongoing spreading of confusion for many decades to come.
One solution is to stand against the system and smooth the public opinion, the other is to wait for the system to be destroyed, then everyone will turn to BTC and accept it, but many people will have nothing left at this time.
It is just like the desire for peace arose only after two great wars, i.e. did not believe until the destruction was seen.
In the mean time, how much of a bitcoin holding might serve as a solution, and how are we going to carry our bitcoin during these trying times, because if we want to be members in society, we likely need to continue to have feet in each of these worlds in order to not become a target, either.
I am not sure about the proper balance for each person, even though I continue to try to employ what balance I believe is reasonable and prudent for myself and given my own circumstances.... After you answer some of the questions about how many coins to accumulate, then you have to reach it, and then these are not static matters because hopefully each of us are still able to use our coins to our advantage, and how much can we shave off at a time in the event that we do not have fiat to spend first. I was talking with one of my relatives who tells me every time that I see her that she should have listened to me in 2014 about buying bitcoin .. and what can I do except keep saying the same thing even though her situation is getting worse and worse.. because she is on a fixed income pretty much and getting older and older and unable to do stuff, so everything that she has is in her house.. she does not have hardly any other liquid assets and her cashflow really seems inadequate for maintaining anything close to her prior living when she had been working more and able to earn more income. I cannot exactly tell her what to do because she hasn't been listening to me since 2014, even though she likes to talk about it.. but if we get into anything in the direction of her taking some kind of action, she changes the topic or her eyes start to glaze over. She's not ready... and there is ONLY so much that I can do to save others from themselves.
It can only be regretted, but we can work on the youth and they can be more effective, that is, they can understand such things more easily than other people, and they will come to that.
