As crypto currency players, we should be wise. We must be able to choose useful information and useless information. We should not engage in debates that are useless and do not bring benefits. Let the insignificant news develop according to his wishes if we cannot deny it. We really should focus on what happens in crypto currencies. We should develop a good strategy in crypto currencies rather than thinking about unimportant matters. We must decide our own decisions without the need to involve many parties, especially non-bitcoiners. It will only make our decision much to intervene.

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?

it depends on who I'm speaking to and whether that person has shown any interest in the past. Eventually, they will transform when they see it everywhere they go and no, I don't believe that you can change other people views but you can only make the suggestion, whether or not they take it is up to them.

I don't tell anyone about it. It's my secret ^^ I just don't like talking about it because I don't feel like having an argument with ignorant fools. xP
I agree with the first poster about letting people believe as they wish. To me, it's like "hey if you don't like money and enjoy working your fingers to the bone then that's your problem" it won't benefit you in anyway. I think I will only introduce people I feel are "worthy" to the crypto world.

Because of your money, you decide for yourself. If you want to buy, sell, profit, or loss, join it, frighten it off, not because the FOMO those gets in it is swallowed by the media or sharks don't know it at all.

Yes, sometimes I do but this is what I believe,
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.
Why do we need to persuade the non believers? One try is enough for me to share this idea to them. If they want, it is better but if they don't want, then I don't care. I do not live to please people around to me. Probably, they will just follow me once I gain a high amount of money. I never want to conduct affiliation. I just want to earn for my own good.

BTC I let them ask me questions. No one likes a preacher. Always happy to help  new people understand.

Personally, i do engage most of my friends on positive argument and through that means i had to explain to them the true nature of cryptocurrency and the more reasons they need to embrace it as digital currency. Some of these Friends have been here for years now, why some are still fresh to the technology. Positive engagement will bring adoption.

When I first invested in Bitcoin in 2017, a lot of my friends tried to discourage me. They told me that BTC is a ponzi scheme and some were even saying that cryptocurrency is illegal and I can go to jail for using it. But in the end, I made them admit that they don't know anything about crypto. Their knowledge about BTC came from propaganda pieces published in mainstream media and social media.

Things changed later that year. BTC gave me 20x returns, and many of those who mocked me earlier congratulated me for my success. A few of them even sought my advice for their own crypto investment plans.

Some of my friends don't believe it will become the next big things, but he actively trading it for profit.
Some doesn't even bother me with a question like " is it a scam?" after a few years pass, I think they just don't care anymore.

I stopped doing that, Bitcoin is a piece of old news they will eventually find out when browsing the internet about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin especially not that Bitcoin is launching their own cryptocurrency, it will market Bitcoin, once they launch their own coin.

That is the problem though, I don't bother when people don't care about bitcoin but when they approach me and ask me about it, I will give them pieces of information about it even give them articles and sites they can read to understand it more. So the problem is that they can't even surf the internet since they are not taught to use them. Some of them are willing to put their money into it but they don't even know how to access their wallets.

I used to engage non-Bitcoiners, whenever I had time. But most of the times, I failed to convince them to use crypto-currency. And now I need to be very careful while mentioning about crypto-currency. Because the government is planning to completely ban crypto in my country, and as per reports published in Bloomberg, anyone caught with crypto in their possession can face up to 10 years in jail.

Its a complete waste of time to try to change people's mind that crypto has better future ahead ,I will let bitcoin do the talking I remember the same thing happened last bullrun ,many newbies are running into crypto space
Yes i do agree with you, its really exhausting to explain something that people dont wanted to understand, I do think they just not intrested in cryptocurrency an they only knew that bitcoin as a digital currency and they do think its bad investments, so i do think its not good idea to try to changes something that cannot be change. Just teach people who wanted to undestand not someone who only want the money.
Very tired and troublesome, that's why I don't explain all the problems about bitcoin to others, they already know about it, they understand the risks, what they ask us, it's just their curiosity, our explanation is not valuable and can change their thinking. The time has begun to prove all their mistakes when the value and results that bitcoin can bring to everyone, it is very wonderful, many middle-aged and older people know and understand the benefits of bitcoin, Bitcoin has automatically become popular with people, it does not need us to help, and we do not need to help others, information and knowledge are more than enough and too much

Until I show them profit that I can achieve over 4 years.

well bitcoin is hard to explain and it not easy to convinced to those who are not interested. so for me i stop explaining about bitcoin to non bitcoiner i just let them know that bitcoin exist and let them do their own research if they are interested and just answer some of their question if they dont understand something.

In the end even if they agree with you that Bitcoin is the real deal, they couldn't even bother buy a single satoshi. It is in their blood I think, people with that kind of mentally should just be ignored and lets continue with what we believe or either them or us will get hurt in the end.

I still trying to make crypto adoption spread from time to time, this space has a lot to offer. Don't just tell people crypto is the future and they need to buy Bitcoin, my method is by showing them what blockchain could do and from there they can connect the dot.

Some of my friends never asked me the question about crypto legality. They simply call Bitcoin a pyramid and a bubble and recommend me to quit dealing with BTC and altcoins. Actually, I try not to argue with these people.

SO true, I feel you bro.

My friends introduced me to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general but my parents and some of my aunts and uncles don't like the idea of it and when they heard someone getting scammed because of Bitcoin, they think it is one of those projects but no. Instead of arguing with them, I just tried to understand them and let them say what they want, I am getting profits out of my investment and that is fine with me.

I decided to not waste time evangelizing crypto. I'll let them find it on their own and they can ask me anytime if want to learn something.
I already did that when I was in my first year in crypto, some bought, some didn't. Those who were quick and risked a lot became lot richer than me which is really good.  Grin
Those skeptics are still the same and hasn't gone anywhere.

I don't normally worry about non bitcoiners because with or without their support, Bitcoin always survives and rise in price. This is to tell the world that the technology behind Bitcoin is a revolutionary one which cannot be killed by any centralized body. Bitcoin is here to live and will reach mass adoption some years to come. The earlier one joins, the better.
