This must be a nonstop debate because the world is still blind about cryptocurrency and most specially bitcoin
While many are still pointing fingers about what cryptocurrency is all about then i believed that we must answer them straight forward and nothing to be stopped
Some of ths people around me still not convinced about the goodness of crypto so i continue telling them and encouraging them to learn and study our community here
Topic: Do you still bother to engage non Bitcoiners? - page 10. (Read 13322 times)
For me I believe that when someone really wants to know and understand the whole idea and principle behind cryptocurrency and how relevant it is to the entire financial ecosystem, such person will not argue with you just for you to convince him/her to join the crypto system. From my personal experience, I have never try to convince anyone not even my friends to join the crypto space. I just present them with facts relating to the nature and benefits of cryptocurrencies and how they are going to transform our financial ecosystem if we adopt using it in our transactions.
Are you still embroiled in debates with friends and internet creeps or have you let it slide?
I avoid talking much about cryptos because there are still no clear laws in my country so talking about something that is not yet clear at the level of laws can only create headaches for people. For example if I lived in the USA I would talk to many people about bitcoin and that's because USA is a great developed country at the technological level so most people have a high level of technology understanding. But in a poor country like mine where technology is long overdue and laws are too late talking about things like cryptos can create headaches in people.
Many of my friends & relatives still think crypto is a ponzi or a scam. I’ve told them how much money I’ve made out of it (unbanked gains) but they’re still not interested in getting in themselves.
What I hear mostly is ‘what price are you going to sell it all’.
There is no ‘sell it all’ price for me. Crypto (primarily bitcoin) is the future, you’r be an idiot not to invest some fiat in bitcoin, even a little when you can see that the exponiental lifetime trend of bitcoin price is upwards.
Let them continue to doubt, we will all have the last laugh.

I was perusing another forum today with a long running cryptcurrency thread. To my non amazement they're still debating the nature of the whole thing in the exact same way they were 2-3-4-5 years ago. The same people are waiting to be convinced. The same people are trying to convince them.
This strikes me as a complete and utter waste of calories. I'd rather let people believe what they want. Me convincing them won't help anyone. They're not going to convince me of anything. My attitude is - crypto is here. You may as well sit back and see what happens as nothing I do, say or listen to will change it.

Its kinda tiring talking to people with the same mindset as before but i always gives chance to people who is interested and i also want to share this opportunity to others. I will argue with them once and try to convince them in the most possible ways i could but after that and still they see it as before then they cant be helped.
I've learned to let people be with what they want to believe when it comes to crypto. They will never run out of reasons or doubts or negative thoughts about it anyway simply because they've already had their minds set. Sometimes its like talking to a wall. And then they'll bring up the btc "crashes" And the "i told you so's". It gets draining at times trying convince people who don't want to be convinced.
Introducing something new to someone especially when it is about finances is not something that goes down easy and we cannot give up easily on these people who don't have much knowledge about cryptocurrencies. The key message is that we are to educate them not to argue uncessarily with them. They would have weird perceptions and what we need to do as cryptopreneurs is to help clarify all these misconceptions and not argue with them.
yes i do . i still engage on non bitcoiner people like example my friend . i still talk about bitcoin on them even if they already refrain from learning bitcoin before because at some point of thier lives they are still curious about the state of bitcoin . they ask me sometimes if how much is the current value of bitcoin .

For me, there are always two kinds of people which is the ones who likes it and the ones who don't. I won't please them or persuade them to look at bitcoin and be an open-minded if they really show a huge dislike at it completely. The only thing that can change their mind is if the entire world is using btc and they have no choice but to adopt it as well.
In my case, I didn't bother explaining to someone who have no intention of learning about bitcoin or crypto currency as it is a waste of time only.
But to those people who are curious about what is crypto currency, I give them a little advise on what they are going to do in order to learn more and for them to be satisfied with the answer of their curiosity.
Debates is what I really hate as it is a complete waste of time, saliva and effort just to convince the non bitcoiners to believe about crypto currency.

Well, i also like to engage in a conversation with such people because it gives me much pleasure to show them the side where they've intentionally shut their eyes to and i love to do that. Personally, I believe anyone who still stands for no-coiner is just a "negative perosna" They jusr wait to see the beauty aspects hehee.
It is difficult to convince those who are not willing to change. i have talked with many of my friends on the matter of adaptation of bitcoins and its future. Almost 50% of them think that bitcoin will not last long and it cannot be the main currency of the world. We cannot change their minds. I mostly ended the conversation that we will see what happen in future and then you will repent that you did not gather bitcoin now when it is quite cheap.

I don't try to convince anyone of anything. I never really did. I never wanted to expose my friends and family to the financial risks of investing so I never hyped it up. I've always been pretty open about the fact that I use Bitcoin and trade cryptocurrencies, though.
People I know who are into trading stocks or tracking their retirement funds seem to have a healthy respect for Bitcoin now. That doesn't mean they're buying coins and they may still be on the skeptical side, but they know that markets don't lie. That's one of the reasons I never wanted to waste my energy persuading anyone -- it's all up to the market. If we're headed for mainstream adoption, non-Bitcoiners will eventually see the writing on the wall. There's no need for me to convince them. I'm just enjoying the ride.

in my opinion, persuading or inviting other people to buy bitcoin can increase the price of bitcoin on the crypto currency market. if we think logically, if more people buy bitcoin then the price of bitcoin can be increased.
at this time bitcoin traders definitely want more buyers so that bitcoin becomes scarce and traders will increase the price of bitcoin, even though the price of bitcoin is increasing but it will not make buyers afraid to buy bticoin because everyone wants bitcoin.
I will continue to persuade people to join crypto currencies so that more and more bitcoin buyers.
I'd rather not, I don't want to be at fault if bitcoin crashes and they lose money. Money can really screw up relationships, its better to let them decide on their own.
I've debated with a few people that were against bitcoin and they did raise a lot of fair points. Crypto really isn't ready to replace cash anytime soon.

Well, I've talked sometimes with my friends (those who are actively involved in stock trading locally) and explained crypto, but haven't tried to convince anyone to get involved with crypto.
Whenever I talked I've found that some of them have limited knowledge about crypto, its due to the restrictions I believe, they need to educate themselves and some afraid to get involved because of the high volatility.
What I can say about them is that the fear is holding them back, but I hope someday it will get change. They don't disrespect bitcoiners at all or talks rubbish which they don't understands, so there is no chance of wasting calories

It reminds me of all those periodical haters that come out of the woodwork every now and then to tell us how we're all suckers for being here and believing in this beanie baby. Those are really interesting specimens and you can usually find them in bitcoin discussion or speculation. They don't waste time going anywhere deeper and take pleasure from stating the obvious, like those people who gather up when there's trouble to make your life more miserable.
I've noticed they've been way, way less prevalent than 2014/15. At certain points during that period every second thread was started by someone like that. At the time it was still possible to believe that it just might be a flash in the pan that could fade away to nothing.
This time around it's been brutal for many, but the idea of that seems that much more remote than it was back then. Even most of them have figured that out now.

"Hey everyone! I haven't been here for a while, but I came to tell you that the price is falling and you better get out or you'll lose money. Bitcoin Is finally dead. I told you last year and I'm telling you now."
I talk to people who don't know anything about it and I often get them intrigued. Last time I was at the dentist she asked me what I do and I told her that I'm heavily invested in crypto and she had no idea, so I told her how it all works, showed her a mobile wallet and so on. Maybe it was just a small talk to make the patient feel better, but she really seemed interested. I rarely talk to people with a negative opinion. Once I hear them repeating some mainstream babble, I change the subject.

I got convinced by my brother to get involved in cryptocurrency activities. And I told my friends about this website and they also believed that cryptocurrency is also a real thing where you can get money and buy what you want. But after a few months, they got pretty bored and doesn't want to do cryptocurrency related stuff anymore. They don't want to do the process which makes me a little sad. That is why I never tried to convince anyone but when they asked something to me about it I always try to answer their questions.
I have tried to convince few offline people's about bitcoin. But it's very difficult task and rather than trust they have criticised me. Actually they are not related with online earning by the way. Even they don't know about classical payment system like PayPal. So it's not possible to explain them about bitcoin. Few are trust about it but they are not encourage to invest or buy bitcoin. They are too afraid about volatility of bitcoin. So whoever affiliated with online earning it's very easy to explain them.
I give the information what I know about bitcoin, how it can be acquired and how it should be stored.
Personally I do not give any advice to somebody to buy it or not. I leave that decision on them.
