some times, I was tired of explaining cryptocurrencies to people around me. But in fact, they believe more in media with negative sides of crypto only. And always warn me about quitting this crypto world with their nonsense reasons.
So, if they first don't like Bitcoin and they don't want to open mined with crypto, let it be.
And if there are newbies who don't know about crypto and going to learn about crypto, just let them know and tell what we understand. And one important also never to promise them about being rich soon with crypto so that they will be aware at first.
Most people are misinformed about Bitcoin, they are more likely to believe the news they read from the local media. Which is where most local media
are usually controlled by the government, so they report information about Bitcoin according to the opinion of the government. We know
the government is afraid that Bitcoin will replace fiat, so sometimes governments say bad things about Bitcoin. Finally I also experienced what
you experienced, where many in my environment said bad things about Bitcoin, it's because they received the wrong information. Our job is to
educate these people by providing correct information about Bitcoin, but if we find some people are not open-minded, it's best to just let them be.
The most important thing for beginners is to find a trusted source of information, which is indeed the source of the information knows the crypto
world well. So don't get the wrong information.
