Great article here.
I tell people about Bitcoin and Steem and the usual response is "who created it?" and they focus on that as the reason to not trust Bitcoin. I simple ask them, who created those dollars you are depending on so much for a living? They say the United States government. Wrong, I tell them. I tell them it is the Federal Reserve, not even a government agency but rather many banks - most of which are not even headquartered in the USA. Then I ask them who owns the Federal Reserve, to name just one bank involved.
They usually stop talking at that point.
I think it just comes with time like everything else. If you have been using cryptocurrency for years or grew up with it you don't question it. But as soon as something new and different comes along then you start to get all inquisitive.
