No kidding. Crypto is deeply unpopular with a significant portion of the public - myself included. This is not the same as the early era of smartphones where you either had one or didn't really know much about them (i.e. were neutral). Many people have made up their minds on the utility (or lack thereof) of crypto and want nothing to do with it. Some of the recent incidents of backlash around NFTs in games come to mind.

It’s just money. It’s a commodity. If I can get a better deal on a house if I pay with crypto, I’ll do it—don’t need your approval, really.
If you want to buy my house, you kind of do. Everybody accepts money as payment. Most people don't accept crypto as payment.

Not really.

Mine? No. You want a title to go with that house ? Well then, yeah, there are some third parties whose opinions matter.
