I feel like the general public's view regarding cryptos has always been more negative than positive: many people simply don't understand how they work, many other people missed the bus, or at least they think they did, so they just hope everything is gonna sink because they're jealous. Without even mentioning all the bs coming from the governments...
We can blame mainstream governments with their propaganda against Bitcoin. People are led to believe it's a scam or a fad, when it's really all of the contrary. With declining market prices because of a weakening global economy, less people will be inclined to invest into Bitcoin for the long term. We need to wait until the next bull market, to see renewed interest into Bitcoin.
If you really want to make money, investing during a bear market would be the way to go. As I've said many times before, weak hands will sell but strong hands will buy and "hodl" no matter what. No one can tell what will happen in the future due to the widely unpredictable nature of the crypto market. Just invest based on facts (not someone else's opinion), and there should be nothing stopping you from becoming filthy rich with Bitcoin in the long run. Just my thoughts
