What Shall We Call The Phobia for Digital Currency or Bitcoin?
Things like Bitpetite and other cryptocurrency ponzi is the one making digital currencies and Bitcoin having a bad rap to most mainstream people.
First of, it's an intangible money. One that only appears in your computer in bytes. It's hard enough to sell that to people.
Second, the complexity of understanding the technology makes everyone stay away from it. I don't know if there's already a phobia called for digital currency and its technology but I'm sure there's a lot of people that are suffering from it. Could you suggest one? Cryptophobia? bytephobia? Satoshiphobia? Goxiphobia? coiniphobia? I'm not sure but maybe we can create one. Even just from choosing the wallet. How freaking hard it is to choose a wallet in normal life, right? But wallet for digital currency is total different.
Third, creators, manipulators, and those who have no moral compass but to siphon money in a scamming way to other people. THIS will get uglier if it continues. If the ponzi scheme gets worst, government will intervene and that will be a greater problem. And really, majority of people will just stay away from it and curse and shut digital currency for the rest of their lives. There!

How about agoraphobia? (fear of open markets) The choice will eventually be to either go broke because you're too afraid of being their own banker, or learning how to do it right.
Bitcoin is the internet as it was in the early 90's. Few knew how to do email which required sockets to be installed and technical knowledge to do it. Eventually though, it will be as easy as moving your finger across your Android phone...
That can be a good choice :)
