I'm done convincing people, specially when people I talked who's mind are very closed regarding bitcoin. You will hear arguments like it's not real money, ponzi and stuff like that.
So I just keep quiet and never engage them in any argument after that. And up to this day, they still thinks that I'm somewhat crazy on dabbing myself on crypto, but then ask the questions where I get the money when I gamble, lol, and when I told them "bitcoin", they just shake their heads.

Yes, I will still engage those non-bitcoiners to be part of our community because I know it will be more essential to them to learn about bitcoin. I have a lot of people that I teach about bitcoin and I'm not bothering to teach them again if they want to. All of those people that will show interest in bitcoin, I will give them the idea and knowledge that they need. Definitely, only the basic ones they should learn and the rest is by exploring the community.
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.
Are you still embroiled in debates with friends and internet creeps or have you let it slide?

If after 10 years they have not bothered learning anything, i won't bother teaching them either. If they show some interest, i try to explain it as long as i see them keeping an open mind. There is no point spending so much time, energy and effort with people that are not going to pay attention or even if they do, don't thank you properly later. Had enough of that already...
So for me its more or less the same thing as you do.
I see this when I read mainstream media articles that mention bitcoin. The comments below are still as dumb as they were 5 years ago like: stop writing about this ponzi scheme. Or something like: yes and fake computer money will be worth millions someday.
I sometimes answer when people have real questions or argue about the importance of bitcoin but I ignore trolls who want to ridicule it.

For most things people have one half formed opinion and they keep it as there's no need to delve any deeper. I'm fine with that. Most of us probably have the same thing about plenty of stuff. It's the ones who've been arguing for years that blow my mind. Many have not advanced one millimetre in all that time.
Well, it will depend on what kind of person we are referring to, In my opinion, if you truly Love and have a passion for this kind of technology and you really want others to have that kind of passion just like you do, I will not hesitate and will not get tired in getting involved in a conversation with a people that are criticizing cryptocurrency and bitcoin,
But I am engaging in a manner of appreciation for them and not with Debate, Because if it always ends up in debate you will just make that person piss off and will likely to make an assumption that his thinking was right, I would rather make a good conversation and exchanging of opinion that with a debate, I believe with the right approach we can make a change than slapping them with certain things that we only believed in.

I just did the same, I gave up. I am not saying that they are not open-minded but what I am saying is that it is really annoying to make them believe that what they are thinking is not true since they have proofs that can prove it. In my case, I am so close from punching that guy on the face but I just thought that I pity them since they don't have this additional income they can have if they just believe me.
They don't have that interest with crypto due to its current situation but when they saw prices goes high, they'll probably be jumping again, same thing happen last 2017. It is just a big shame for them complaining against crypto, they'll never know exactly about it, only they focus on the negative sides which is all about FUDs. Letting them of what they believe?
I never bother until someone who himself gets interested and request me to give some explanation. For them I used to show our forum as well used to give the basic idea of what is cryptocurrency and the consequences faced in these days along with the need for such a evolution. Further is their responsibility to learn, make investment, trades or whatever upon their own risk.
Pretty much everyone now knows about Bitcoins and they think it's either too risky or either they think that it's some out of the world thing and they will instantly get their investments doubled and they will be able to gain a lot of money fast but I rather like telling them how it works and how it's not something that is rather that complicated but is just like a share market , what they choose to think after that is their side , I don't use much of my brain on that .
But sometimes people here when they post stuff against blockchain and Bitcoins and all , I do get fired up though 🤣

Well if they are willing to be educate then you damn right i would share some knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general but if it is based on some endless arguements then i would just let them be. Sometimes it's best to leave people how to discover something on their own rather then getting it to them.
Nope I have quit on convincing them to be on crypto or to use crypto.
Besides they already seen how crypto changed my life I don't need to do something to get them into crypto.
Most of my friends who saw me earning some from faucet and thinks that I am wasting my time on crypto are now asking me about it.
They only want it because they think that it is an easy way to be rich,
And that is the reason I stop because of their idea and they only want to use it to get rich without knowing how to earn.
I told them about trading and they want a more easy way than trading.

I still engage to those people and they think Bitcoin is just for freaks. Well its really hard to convince them specially when money is involved even they are your family and as much as possible I always warned them about the risks of getting involved in cryptocurrency space.
Are you still embroiled in debates with friends and internet creeps or have you let it slide?
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.

Today or tomorrow they will have it (Bitcoin).
Funny thing is:
They will buy when pick and sell deep LOL
I hope someday we get rid of fiat and bitcoins take over the economy.
