Why do many people who don't understand Bitcoin slander and criticize Bitcoin?
There is a story that a group of savages were imprisoned in a cave and never went out. There was a fire at the entrance of the cave, and the savages were forced to see only the shadow of the fire. Animals or other things often passed by the fire, so various shadows were produced on the wall. The savages thought that the world was what it looked like in the shadows, and that those shadows were the illusions of demons and monsters. One day, one of the savages escaped and saw the real world, with the sun, trees, flowers, grass, and various animals, while what they saw in the cave was only the shadow of the fire. So he immediately went back to tell his tribe the real world he saw. But everyone didn't believe it, thinking that he was under a sorcery and wanted to harm everyone, so they finally killed him.
Another story, five monkeys were locked in a cage with a bunch of bananas on top. The experimenter installed an automatic device. Once it was detected that a monkey was going to take the bananas, water would immediately spray into the cage, and the five monkeys would be wet. First, a monkey wanted to take the bananas, and of course, the result was that every monkey was wet. After that, each monkey found the same thing after several attempts. So the monkeys reached a consensus: don't take the banana to avoid being sprayed with water. Later, the experimenter released one of the monkeys and replaced it with a new monkey A. Monkey A saw the banana and wanted to take it immediately. As a result, he was beaten up by the other four monkeys. Because the other four monkeys thought that monkey A would cause them to be sprayed with water, they stopped him from taking the banana. A tried several times, but he still didn't get the banana even though he was beaten up. Of course, these five monkeys were not sprayed with water. Later, the experimenter released another old monkey and replaced it with another new monkey B. Monkey B saw the banana and couldn't wait to take it. Of course, just like what happened just now, the other four monkeys beat B up. What's special is that monkey A beat him very hard. Monkey B tried several times but was always beaten badly, so he had to give up. Later, slowly, one by one, all the old monkeys were replaced by new monkeys, and no one dared to touch the banana. But they didn't know why, they just knew that if they touched the banana they would be beaten by the monkey.
