Well, the amount of scammers and get rick quick merchants starting cryptocurrencies and blockchain based products has likely left a sour taste for many people here, especially when they hear about yet another million dollar ICO that seemingly came out of nowhere.
And it's also meant a lot of people who nothing about tech are starting businesses and projects revolving around blockchains and what not despite not have any real reason to use them or a need that said technology actually solves. So people here end up seeing these projects as the equivalent to 'Uber for dog walkers' or a 'distributed basket weaving platform'.
Oh, and maybe because the topic has been done to death already and people are getting sick of discussing it.
