In my experience its seems that

[1] some people seem to just "get" btc almost as soon as they are introduced to it,

[2] others simply don't or

[3] become hostile without understanding BTC tech.

[4] Become hostile and do understand the tech.

The demarcation lines seem to me quite stark. Any theories as to why this is?

(I understand [5] those who just don't get it or are not interested, )

I think people have different levels of understanding and how they react to new tech. Some people are open to new technologies and are willing to try them out but others are not. Some people truly believe technology can change things over time and some people are not buying that. Long story short, people have different options over new things including science and technology.

People will not just be going to buy bitcoin and they probably don't trust bitcoin with just hearing news about people who invested in bitcoin and become rich they will only going to believe if they earn a profit themselves in bitcoin. The first time I know about bitcoin I don't really trust it and also the news in our country is telling that bitcoin is a scam and it is a big risk if you invest your money in bitcoin more like they are just telling the bad side of bitcoin. In my opinion, the bitcoin community is getting bigger as time passes and bitcoin technology needs to be introduced properly as a currency and not just as an investment.

It is simple, they become hostile because they do not understand the tech,
If they would understand the tech most of them wont be hostile any more.
BTW Anger is explained by not understanding things you are angry about.

It depends on who do you introduce bitcoin to, and the way how you introduced bitcoin to the. Not all people is tech savvy, I've introduced bitcoin into some of my friends and only a couple of the really got involved in crypto currency. Even I who really believes in crypto was skeptical on it when it was first introduced by my brother.

in my case my friend introduced me to bitcoin and i like it i read articles about cryptocurrencies and i joined this forum to explore and learn more but when i introduced it to my other friend they show no interest in it and i gave up because i can't force them to understand it

That is because they are close minded about bitcoin, if a person is open enough to listen and understand bitcoin then they will be able to understand is little by little but if they are close minded then no matter how simple you explain it to them then they won't understand it. Bitcoin for me isn't as hard to understand it just depends on the person on how they see it.

The main point is that they have a negative viewpoint about cryptocurrencies due to governments and other people spreading negativity about its usage and depict it as bubble which could burst anytime.They don't get to know the technical working behind it and its importance thats why they will never open about such revolutionary decntralized coins.But slowly people are getting interested in working of these coins and will come to know about its usage and will love it and mass adoption of btc will take place making it as mode of online payment.

Simple, manipulation and control by the media in stigmatizing digital cash in general.

In my country, digital cash has been viewed negatively due to the recent scams and hacks of people done in the internet. In addition, the scheme of networking evolved where it affected most digital cash in which people associate with cryptocurrencies.
If you do not show any proof that one is actually earning from it, they will stick to their belief without even listening or exercising the effort to validate their claims.

Not to mention, when the price of bitcoin skyrocketed to $20,000, many people impulsively invested and purchased it. Due to the dilemma where its price dropped, people viewed it as a "scam-investment".

Everyone knows bitcoin in different ways, their understanding of bitcoin can also be different. This is as you say why some people "get" because they are introduced and have knowledge in the right way. While others do not get the right approach and understanding of technology.

We could actually help them to feel that they need a cryptocurrency without even directly stating it in front of formal conversion. I had a talk with my professor and I asked him: What do you prefer, physical cash or digital? The reply that he gives is he wanted both. Because both have their pros and cons. And he talks a little more about it. Later on, I realize that for them to adapt to cryptocurrency, we need not tell it to them directly, let them think what advantage and disadvantage it has, so they can weigh the conditions. If they think for themselves that crypto has more of the characteristics that they want in money, that is the time that we need to guide them with cryptocurrency.

Great that you listened to your friend, most of my friends are not listening and don't care about it despite of my explanation, but some are here keep exploring the crypto and online world, and he is always saying 'thank you' to me as I didn't stop informing him this forum, so he keep saying 'thank you' the way I was thankful enough to the person who introduced me this forum, who guided me when I was new, so I give back to those of my family and friends too, especially those who are in need of extra income.

I think that changes always generate resistance, when paper money was invented in China, people could not understand it and opposed it, how to exchange their gold for a piece of paper? The same goes for cryptocurrencies, for many people it is difficult to conceive money in that way and that is why they criticize it.

On the other hand, there are scams that have tarnished the image of crypto, then the resistance of some sectors that believe that cryptocurrencies are taking away their power, and so on. For all these reasons some sector of society does not end up accepting cryptocurrencies and criticize them, but progress is being made towards mass adoption, that is for sure.

It depends on their perspective and interest in technology and economy I guess.
People who don't get it because they can't understand bitcoin due to the complicated way to use it, just fell it not attractive to be used even for a store of value, because they see how quickly the price fluctuates over time. and others will invest in bitcoin in order to gain profits in the future without never to understand the fundamentals of bitcoin.

And also depending on their environment,because we must admit that we are lucky for having someone that known bitcoin and cryptocurrency for long time and guided us to learn and be knowledgeable in this area but others don’t have this privilege,they are learning by themselves that’s why it’s getting harder for them to understand.
What we need is educate them and help them to have enough knowledge and with this action we can mak crypto more great and not just by earning but spreading as well

If you really want to have bitcoins or even other cryptos there are a lot of ways to have it and one of the major thing is by trading. Depending on the market statistics and the demand of a certain cryto, you can trade it with your current type of currency whether it was a fiat or a crypto. On the other hand, we have what we called services wherein you will help a certain project to advertise their product- probably a crypto also or an exchanger -and based on the set rules you will be paid accordingly.

it depends on the information he receives. when we introduce bitcoin well and teach how to earn money with bitcoin. and we also have to explain the risks that must be faced. of course I'm sure they will be interested in investing with bitcoin. but if what they often hear is negative news about bitcoin such as money laundering, terrorist funding or our money can be lost instantly because of fluctuations in bitcoin prices. of course they will not be interested in investing in bitcoin.

They lose interest and faith with Bitcoin cause they always think of negative which the others don't. For it sometimes that we've been down but mu trust still there and never been losing the hopes. I know it is really hard to control our emotions but we have to and we need to work on it cause that's the only way that it will help to be strong and stronger enough to face any difficulties that may happen.

Bitcoin and the blockchain are already a complex topic so don't expect that people will get you easily just by giving or explaining the definition. It requires a lot more knowledge before you can understand the bitcoin.

If you wanted to explain or teach someone, try to elaborate on the technology behind it, maybe they can get it easier than you expected.

Many people do not know risk of bitcoin investment, they only keep on their mind bitcoin is faster way how to get much money with investing, they do not think bitcoin have side where price down their investment assets will lost, less communication and understand about how bitcoin investment working and how to get profit with bitcoin, never claim bitcoin is faster way to get much money.

They are just after the possible profit that they are considering but they don't consider the risk associated on it, and once they loss money with their investment, they will be depress and stressing out their selves. So, if we have friends that wanted to earn crypo, we should be able to suggest them to know risk management first.

of course that we must first warn if we will introduce it to partners who will use this technology, do not be easily tempted to get quick profits in this industry if we do not understand the risks that will be faced later. we must always warn that the price movement of cryptocurrency markets can change suddenly and every beginner must be able to understand market price movements first before plunging into this field

Its not that they don’t get it but they are not open-minded about bitcoin. If a person if open minded then if you only explain bitcoin in a simpler way then I don’t see any reason that they can get it. When we introduce it to newbies it is important that we include everything meaning we should provide them the advantages and disadvantages for them to understand better.

It depends on how you introduced it and on how such a person understands it. In introducing and explaining about crypto, we shouldn't hide anything and we must be transparent. Telling about its risks would be a big help. A person should also have the eagerness to learn everything about it openmindedly. We should also inform them that crypto isn't a shortcut to success but it includes hard work and sacrifices as well.

No matter how much you introduced this to them, if they don't want to believe and they don't care at all then there is nothing we can do. I have a lot of friends that I introduced this to them, but they refuse and some are just here, life is a matter of choice, this is up to them if they will care for it or not, what matters is that we remember them.

I have that experience too, but I don't think that will bother me because that will depend on themselves. Whether they will accept what I tell them or not, I don't think more seriously. I only introduce something that can help them, but if they rejected, then I don't have to do another thing. We cannot force them to follow what we did because they will have another opinion about something that is new for them. It is enough to give the information to them, and the rest let them decide.
