[1] They don't just get it because they were introduced. They are eager because they've heard success stories about the early investors and adopters on how much they've made money with bitcoin. And that's encouraging them to buy ASAP although they don't understand it.

[5] They are no longer interested probably they became a victim of scams on internet and they are just trying to become smart this time and avoid things like this. But it will all change once the media is giving a good view and making the reputation of bitcoin positively.

pretty normal when you introduce something new, they will oppose it because they don't understand or simply because since its new.

my old  man insist in investing in buying a farm as it will help me survive by planting crops and trees and sell them. when i told him i'd be investing GPUs so i can mine ETH and XMR. he was what and then you are going to sell the land minerals to china?   maybe i just suck at explaining what BTC and these coins are.

Yup no matter how hard you try to explain it some people might never get it as it should be understood wherein there are those who will get it easily.  I had similar challenges while hiring a developer for one of my project wherein some of them consider bitcoin as illegal and they will be arrested if they for for a crypto related project while others are cool and very keen to learn and work for it.
People have different opinions and understandings of technology. Even though I don't see a reason why many people still rejected bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies maybe it is because of the cryptocurrency market volatility or lack of good understanding of the technology or might be both likely.

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, )





Yes the only explanation that I could think of is number 5,
People who doesn't really like it or not interested in one thing would always be closed minded person .
They wouldn't get it no matter how much you explain it to them if they doesn't like it then it would just be worthless.

We cannot just make them open their mouth (in a brute force) and put the hot food into their mouth, they will just throw it out.

there are certains individuals, or should I say the majority of the crowd in the society we are in, are not intertested in something unbelievable, and cryptocurrency is one of the examples of that. Bitcoin is the most biggest coins we could introduced to someone, but once we start explaining it, they will start to be confuse and will not take it in into their system, but the problem is not on us, it is on them.

Some are just not capable of understanding the nature of bitcoin. Like people who are not techy, older people, and some people in the places who lack innovation and development. Some are not just as interested to learn bitcoin. The point here is just, not everyone are interested about bitcoin. Just because we're interested, others should too.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
People can be divided into many groups depending on the conditions. You can divide them by age, gender, intelligence. We can assume that the average young person of above average intelligence will most likely understand Bitcoin. An average old person who does not have a computer at home will not. It's that simple.

Some people are open-minded and some are close-minded and this doesn't depend on their age. This is like an additional condition on top of your age and intelligence that has to be met for you to understand Bitcoin.

If the person is really interested in knowing the working of crypto coins then surely he will get its working and technology behind it but some people have negative viewpoint about it due to rumours about its volatility and scams like btc being bubble.Others just want to get rich by btc without knowing that it is coin used for payments not mode of getting rich.You can invest in it and wait for long term and get returns in future.But slowly people will start getting its importance and adopt it.

Many people want to get bitcoin soon and never check chart before investing, just looking about other people have invested and they want to invest too, price suddenly drop and never take little risk for cut lost and hold it until price really down.

Let’s admit the fact that cryptocurrency specially Bitcoin is not that easy to understand ,because not all people or best way to address is “Majority of people in the world are not tech people”so they are harder to encourage or even if they try yet not enough for them to understand quickly so that’s same reason why many fails like what you said Quickly entering without knowledge so the ending is failure and will curse the crypto for taking their money 😂
But with our help it’s will come soon that realizations and acknowledging will come to this market just do our part and don’t get tired of teaching people about what is this all about

We can't force people to know or learn something they are not interested in. Even if they are young or old if they want to get involved in bitcoin they will study it. I myself is really interested to learn more about bitcoin and blockchain technology but the people around me like friends or family are not really interested. Some of them even say it is just a scam.

Some people are actually open minded when they start to delve into things that they don't understand and others tend to have a biased notion as well. My mom used to view everything from the Internet as being bad because of pornography and a lot of things. People mostly hate Bitcoins just because they don't trust technology, others don't get it because they don't seem ready and eager to learn anything new.

Absolutely,bitcoins require some knowledge about the technology and millennial or the new generation mostly attracted to it. Old ones,only a few are interested.Slowly since adaption is imminent, they get bitcoin just like a currency for daily use and some for investment or long term hold.Others does not matter,even you explained how good the technology is, they don't bother.

Some of them just live the traditional fiat or the banking system for their salary only (mandatory most of the time).
I guess it will all depend on how we can stretch those kind of examples for them to easily understand everything.
It's all people know, and they also rely on the safety provided by centralized financial institutions because people make a lot of mistakes leading to a loss of money, get scammed, and so on.... most of which will be refunded to people.

In crypto there is no such a thing as being refunded, because every mistake that leads to a loss of money is permanent and people don't want to deal with that.... they want to be spoon fed and looked after.

I never really worry about using my banking app to pay for something online, while I constantly worry about using my mobile Bitcoin client and triple check everything to make sure I haven't made a mistake somewhere. It's a pretty big deal.

My banking app failed the other day .... in fact millions of peoples failed, sure it was back online in 24 hrs but still....

It all depends on how you explain it, people will believe in facts or evidence that can attract them to join.
My way is, show them what I get or have from bitcoin and income in detail and with that there will be questions from them and that is my chance to explain how to use it because using bitcoin is related to technology or whatever it is and explain the benefits, losses, and risks that will be faced and that way some of my friends have finally joined bitcoin until now and they really enjoyed it.

There is a point, but there are some people that despite of how you will explain to them they still don't want to believe, especially those people who don't much trust you, that they think you are just scamming then and that you just want to invest in it. So, for me I am helping people who wanted to change their life, and not those people who don't want to trust me.

The question is, are they willing to learn how bitcoin and cryptocurrency works? Because if yes, they'll make efforts just to understand it. If they are not interested, they wouldn't exert effort learning bitcoin. Simple as that. You'll get it if you're willing to. Knowledge is not an excuse not to get it. Because everyone starts without knowledge about bitcoin. The only difference is the willingness towards learning bitcoin.

In all this years I learned that if you go excited to someone to speak about Bitcoin, most of them won't believe you and they will get skeptical that you simply went good for you and will go bad for them. Another thing I observed is that you talk about investment into Bitcoin at introduction , people will think you want to make them to invest into scams ( which is not the case ) so lately I simply go with this is Bitcoin and Blockchain , learn about it and then if you want to learn more about here is some steps in order to help you. This will increase the curiosity in most of people and they will start to take Bitcoin seriously.

Who cares? It's a normal case that somebody is always oppose everything that you are trying to do, when somebody doesn't accept it or not this platform is becoming stoped and obsolete, so I don't care about those people don't understand the situation and also don't try to understand, Bitcoin platform is not depending on the some of those people always try to ignore and avoid this platform, there are some reasons behind this scenario, it may be their ignorance, it may be their lack of education or they are not aware of the technological development. but it also trues that you can't expect all the hundred percent accept support form your end, so try to let them education about it, if they don't accept then you also should ignore it.

If I knew someone who spent an hour or two studying the basic principles and they still came back with 'ponzi' I would assume they were educationally subnormal. I would understand if they were still sceptical about the security and robustness of the whole thing, but not the entire spirit of it.

Very few people will ever take the time to properly digest the information about it. Very few people take the time to form their own informed opinion on anything. They take what they're told and maybe add some of their own spin for a dash of originality and that remains their opinion for the rest of their days no matter what's thrown at them.
Those people are definitely the weird ones, I couldn't really imagine a situation where someone who is smart and understands the concept and technology of bitcoin coming back with an idea that it's just a scam.

It's hard to make an unbiased analysis of bitcoin and crypto-currencies nowadays, the person who spent an hour studying it has probably seen those news articles or television segments that are classifying it as a scam and relating it to money laundering.

It's crazy how powerful the media is and how a string of articles or tv attention can change so many people's opinions.
