not sure it's whole goverment speaking here. week ago, Head of Payment and Settlement Systems Department of Eesti Pank told that crypto is a ponzi scheme

FTFY


That's a lost battle. At this stage a lot more people are aware of cryptocurrencies than of the concept of Cryptography, and slang like that always follows the majority consensus.

It absolutely is a battle we can win.
