Try it—flash back for a moment. The first time you heard someone talking about Bitcoin or crypto, what was your first reaction?
You probably thought to yourself: 'What kind of money-game business is this now? Scam? Ponzi?' It’s funny when you look back, but that was really the reality back then.
At the time, people’s perspective on crypto was definitely very negative. And that makes sense—back then, education was still very limited, the platforms weren’t as many as they are now, and even buying it was still complicated.
So the main job of the industry players back then was purely one thing: introducing this technology to the public and making it clear that it isn’t a scam.
But the story is different now. Based on the latest data, the number of crypto financial asset users in Indonesia has already reached nearly 23 million accounts.
The shift is also very noticeable. From being feared and suspected, it has now become part of investment options.
This is proof that the industry and its regulations have become much more mature. But... there’s a note here. Because access is getting easier and the app is just a download away, our challenges today are different.
It’s no longer about 'what crypto is,' but rather how we can invest wisely—understand the risks—and not just follow the hype.
By the way, what year did you first get to know crypto? Did you ever think it might be a scam back then? Share your experience in the comments section!
