Topic: A hilarious video that shows so many persons ignorance about bitcoin - page 2. (Read 427 times)

As always I believe in a small part of these videos, but doing some math how many are we on this planet?  And how many people are there in this forum who are supposed to know at least a little Bitcoin?  So it seems to me that only a small fraction has found interest and somehow tried to get information.  Even if the appearance seems to be able to find Bitcoin and information easily this is not the reality.

The English nis a Nigerian language and really video is interested. Someone is rejecting 2 Bitcoin and accepting 2 millions naira which is equivalent to $2647.25. Really ignorant is a disease. How can someone rejects 2 BTC for just $2647.25, I don't think there were sponsored to speak. From the appearance of the speakers the video looks genuine. The price of bitcoin was asked in the first interview which the lady said she didn't know the price of half bitcoin and yet she just decided to choice bitcoin over the fiat currency. Though I am not talking about the authenticity of the video but to some extent o see genuineness of the video and it was really fun.

I've seen a lot of videos like these that are filmed in the US or Europe, and the answers are pretty similar. Even though Bitcoin has gained a lot of popularity, not everyone still knows/cares about it, and even if they have heard about it, how does someone expect that they know how much is the exchange rate. Of course, people will choose what seems like a better answer even if it isn't but they just don't know.
I love Bitcoin and everything, but you can't really judge people or make fun of them for a topic they most likely don't care about. Even though this post is a comedic topic, we could be better off explaining and helping people adopt it easier and have the benefits that come with investing or just using Bitcoin.

If he just explains how much BTC is in naira, it will be chosen no matter if they don't know how to convert it to cash. 

Although we hear a lot about it that Nigeria had been adopting BTC and there was even a time when the value of BTC in this country is way higher than the international market.  AFAIK the government of Nigeria even launched enaira which I assumed was to counter the adoption of BTC. You wouldn't really believe the adoption could be as massive as everyone will know BTC in the country. Not all will find BTC trustworthy especially when they have not even heard of it.

we can't blame them for preferring cash over 2 Bitcoin which is worth much more than that cash due to their limited knowledge about Bitcoin and its value at the moment. Moreover, the interview was conducted in a developing country whose citizens rarely hear information about Bitcoin. even in developed countries, there are still many people who are not familiar with Bitcoin and Altcoins, especially in countries like that.

so that's the importance of our role in being able to spread information about bitcoin wherever we can, I'm sure that the more active we are in providing information about bitcoin on social media or those closest to us, the adoption of Bitcoin will increase and it will definitely benefit all of us.

Yeah I kinda felt the same. It kinda looked like it was staged based on how the respondents responded to the speaker. Bitcoin is so wide for a topic that asking someone about it would guarantee you another question back, lol. Along with their local language, it's kinda hard to understand as well based on their tone.

Props for the effort though still. At least people still got an exposure to Bitcoin around Facebook.

Assuming that the video was authentic, in opposite of what I assumed previously, it will look like that they do not have an idea at all when it comes to crypto. I would expect the same answer even by ETH, unlike when you ask in US Dollar equivalent though.

From the video, it's clear that people have varied levels of understanding of Bitcoin and its value. Also, honestly, to me there are too many short loud interjections in the video, it's a bit hard to focus. Aside from that, I don't have an understanding of naira's value, so I had to consult with the exchange value a lot.
I know people with varied degrees of familiarity with Bitcoin: people who have the general idea, people who actively engage in crypto trading, but also people who I'm sure have never heard of Bitcoin and have no idea how much it might cost or how it works.
After all, we're still in the early days.

Judging from some of the interviews, they don't fully understand crypto or Bitcoin and even don't know it at all.
When the host gave a choice of 2 Bitcoin or 2 million Naira, the man chose 2 million Naira as the top choice because he only saw the amount of money, not the price of Bitcoin when converted.

Bitcoin is just considered like a worthless coin because it is digital and not real.
It's also because they don't fully know about Bitcoin.

Just like in my country who generally still don't understand what cryptocurrency is, how Bitcoin benefits, and the technology in it.

If this is said to be a funny video, of course, it is because of the choice that we think is wrong, and should choose Bitcoin which certainly provides more Fiat if converted.
But according to those who don't understand, Bitcoin doesn't mean anything.

It should be so, because they don't understand anything about Bitcoin, the end of the question should provide knowledge about Bitcoin so they can know how valuable Bitcoin is if they have it.
If without education then this is just a joke video that has no purpose other than seeing the stupidity of someone who doesn't know Bitcoin.

Don't get surprise about ignorance of bitcoin since not all can easily digest this especially if they didn't hear something about it. For sure they became skeptical because they have no idea on how they could use this or even if they can call it legit because no people introduce it yet with correct information.

But who knows those ignorance people will adopt it later on once there are more people near them use it and they find them successful so we better not to stress out on this and continue to use bitcoin then continue to earn with it.

I'll find this video educational if, at the end of the interview, he gives some mini book regarding bitcoins and some freebies to promote it; if it's that the case, then it will be worth sharing. But if it's just some survey proving how ignorant people are regarding bitcoins until now, then it's not that bad. At least we know how far bitcoins reach in this part of the world, and we see how they react when they first hear about it. I want to see the same interview in the next 5-10 years; I wonder if it's the same or if they are improving their Bitcoin knowledge.

I have watched the video and it's just a guy asking random people about Bitcoin, and that's totally useless because the people seem technically weak ones and they don't even know how to withdraw money if they accept Bitcoin. They are from Nigeria and they know their currency very well and that's why they are choosing their own fiat currency over Bitcoin. I must say that their English is totally un-understandable, and most of the words just flow over my head. However, the guy was asking about Blockchain and people were saying something really strange because I think they considered blocks + chains and came with conclusion as blockchain which makes sense.

After watching the video I found nothing special, but someone who was pranking with innocent people who weren't even aware about Bitcoin. It's understandable that the technology of Bitcoin is not as old or mature as of fiat based currencies and that's why most people don't know how to use it. In many small cities people are so weak in technology that they can't sell anything online because they don't know how to do bank-transfer or receive bank-transfer from the banks own application. Although, the banks are nowadays giving complete control to a user to transfer and receive the funds using their own applications but still users aren't that knowledgeable to take benefits from such services.

So, it's not fair to prank with those people who aren't aware about a technology, the better way is to teach them about the technology they are lacking, and promote awareness about it so that they may get interest to learn about it. Teach them what's Bitcoin and how the blockchain and Bitcoin works, that would be a great thing for humanity rather than creating prank videos that show people's lack of knowledge regarding Bitcoin.

Not everyone in any part of the world even cares when you try to raise awareness about bitcoin, because everyone's financial critical level can be different in terms of several aspects such as personality, environment, economic condition, etc.
Throughout my journey in this space, someone will really welcome the explanation of bitcoin when they really want a financial solution. At this point sometimes they are also more realistic, if you don't look rich then don't expect them to listen to you.

There is no doubt that Bitcoin awareness is spreading rapidly in many countries especially developing nations. The citizens of the nations are seeking ways of avoiding inflation and the decline in the value of local currencies. Many people have been introduced to Bitcoin to help them fight this inflation and devaluation of the currency of their nation which will make their savings worthless in the future.

I know Nigeria has one of the biggest bitcoin markets in Africa because many Nigerians especially the youths are embracing it. But bitcoin awareness is low among those between the ages of 50 and above. Many of them might have heard the word Bitcoin but I can attest that they know little or nothing about the currency. In the rural areas, many people have not even heard the word Bitcoin. As many members have said, most of the content on these social media space is staged to achieve an objective. But no doubt bitcoin awareness is increasing every day even among the elderly.

Why is it considered funny that people don't know what Bitcoin is?
I think it's only natural that there are people who don't understand or know what bitcoin is.
In my country, there are still people who don't know what bitcoin is.
bitcoin is famous among 2000 and above, not below, so don't laugh at people who don't know what bitcoin is because it's normal in my opinion
sorry, I'm too sensitive about this video because in my opinion it's too mocking even though there's something he said that I don't understand, but from the look on his face, you can see a smile of ridicule whether it's real or a trick, but it's inappropriate

I agree here because these days especially if you are on social media, some videos or any content there are already scripted, and some are only for the views.
About Bitcoin, I am very positive that we are still early and that's why there are still large portion in the world that they still don't know what Bitcoin is, so for me, that's why we are gifted, we will be the tools to spread the good things about Bitcoin.

It depends on it that there is a different perspective if the person does not know what's about bitcoin for sure they will chose the other option or the money but if you will make a comparison if the worth of the money to a bitcoin is way profitable better to determine the higher value at the end you can get a bitcoin at least with the amount.

Seems like they are just trying to troll which most of the people choose it's the bitcoin over the cash but for me, ill go with the higher value and have an option to buy Bitcoin.

To be frank, I watched the video but I couldn't quite follow the topic they were talking about, their English pronunciation was a bit slang. In short, I find it difficult to understand because the letters they say are words that can be eaten.

I also don't get the point of the content why they made that video about Bitcoin. What is the catch of that content? to show that many people are still naive to Bitcoin? Is that the purpose of their interview with the public there?

Lol viral videos ? another personal purpose and to gain attention as they care
nothing about bitcoin but themselves .
you have been in this market for how many years yet you still buy those kind of tricks? 
another stupid videos that seeks attention and what is more stupid? is that OP shared it here when we care nothing about what they stand .

the video is very funny and entertaining.

indeed, in this world, of course, there are still many people who don't know bitcoin, and in my area, not all of them know bitcoin, especially if in a country there is no thorough internet or in a country where the government in that country doesn't like bitcoin, so there will definitely be a lot of people who don't know what bitcoin is.
but I hope that in the future many people will know about bitcoin.

Just because we know about Bitcoin, it looks different for us. With common people whom hadn't known about bitcoin will find the reality in the video. This won't be surprising for them. Another thing, these days more videos were of staged ones. We can't expect the same to have genuinity. The best part of the video, it makes more people watching it go find what is bitcoin. Atleast in this manner the videos are helping in the widespread. Even the technology people aren't aware about bitcoin and its existence, then how things could be in a better position with people who are working on different streams.
