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?

After seeing this thread i wanted to say . I am also doing the same stuff i was doing initial days telling about bitcoin and price growth 2X or 3X the great weapon i had and even i am having is that freebitco.in i introduce them to collect some free bitcoin.

Yes, i still bother until now, especially to those who are not interested because i want to let them know or share some important and uses of bitcoin. So i would not stop bothering other people until they did not realize about btc. Its not a waste of time if you want introduce to others, explain more to people those lack of knowledge so that one day they can understand.

I still do but only those who are opened minded and not folks who have some weird perceptions about cryptocurrencies in their mind. Wth such folks it is a total waste of time and energy.

My friends are still arguing with me about the legality of bitcoin, but they cannot change my mind because I understand cryptocurrency and I know bitcoin is really here for us which they can't accept since they are bankers and working in financial institution. We can't please them, let that debates continues until they become a hodler because they will see the potential if big companies started to create their own cryptocoins.

p.s - I'm not a member of those "internet creeps", please don't judge me. Grin

If you are living in a country with no regulation, then there is no point in debating the legality of bitcoin until there is a decision from the authorities, it depends upon how they view the market and how well they can frame a regulations knowing the difficulties they have to encounter since it is a global medium and cannot be restricted easily. There is no point convincing anyone who is not interested in the new technology, it is a waste of your time.

Yes I am still engaging myself to them, even they're not open about what I'm doing it now in digital currency.
In fact, they've heard a lot many times about bitcoin, but in terms of understanding it, they are all empty knowledge about it.

its true its hard to talk about bitcoin to someone who doesnt even want to changes or understand the nature of bitcoin. I do feels its very hard to convince them and every word that i say just fly away and they seems just dont want to comperhend or think about what i trying to explain.

I have thought like yours, it's just a waste of energy since this is not a referral system, you will get nothing inviting people to invest in Cryptocurrency if they do not want to, let them believe on what they believe, you will get riches anyway without them investing in Bitcoin.

No, Too many people looking just for a quick buck. I would only be interested in talking with developers.

You are only interested in talking to the developers? Then you are against the idea of global adoption of Bitcoin. The developers are already using Bitcoin and you will not add any users by talking to them. If you want Bitcoin to be a truly global currency, then you should converse with the middle-class and lower middle-class people, who are working in non-IT domains.

Agree developers already knows about bitcoin or maybe he has another intention that's why he likes to talk to developers,if we want a global adoption of bitcoin we need to educate non Bitcoiners so that they can get idea about this new technology,and also tell them the positive and negative impact if they will invest on it so that they will not expect very high about Bitcoin.

Unfortunately, when non-Bitcoiners (as in the common people) hear about Bitcoin, the image of cryptocurrency and blockchain is still associated most viscerally with scams and fraud - and governments have imposed strict regulations on crypto projects and highlighting that crypto projects/currencies help fund illegal, criminal activities etc. As cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin are more widely used in every day lives - from online shopping to buying houses, to green energy etc. - people will come around to the idea eventually! Imagine if non-Bitcoiners were directed to a large blockchain-based platform that uses tokens to facilitate online shopping for clothes, or to use tokens to directly pay for products offline in stores for example and that the benefits of doing so are attractive enough - it would entice people to use tokens in their daily lives, introduce them to the concept of using cryptocurrency, and perhaps only then it's possible to engage them in conversation about BTC and crypto in general.

maybe there are moments that need to involve non bitcoiners, in some cases that I have encountered, some non bitcoiners can become new members of bitcoiners after what we tell, and they are interested in investing, but there are also non bitcoiners who are difficult and not interested. but for me it's normal.

If only they bring it up on the conversation. Because just imagine talking your favorite show that your friends or co-workers does not like. It feels weird and awkward right? It's just the same as talking to them who are not interested at all. It's much fun to to discuss it with people who knows about it and involved in trading altcoins or the latest news about it.

I agree. You have to talk someone that interested into it, those who asks you to explain to them for it to be worth explaining. They have to believe with it and learn how crypto works. They have to decide whether they want to enter or not for you not to blame when fail on it.

Most persons can only think in terms of a centralized such as those of the government creating money and fail to see that the power is actually created by a consensus of the masses that anything has value. Such thoughts are the results of many years of brainwashing by the government and constant attack of bitcoin/crypto by those whose interest are threatened by bitcoin. The good thing is that adoption is growing rapidly and will soon be astronomical.Bitcoin will rule the world.Already 5 % or so percent of americans have used bitcoin.

I don't want to argue with my friends and acquaintances about bitcoin. If you force someone to join crypto, then in case of failure, this person will blame you for everything. So I believe that people themselves must come to this. The people themselves must decide they need it or not. If they have the desire, they will find all the necessary information.

Yeah most times the topic of crypto will come among the non bitcoiner folks am familiar with and i try as much as i could to educate and enlighten them in my own way what crypto is all about, but most times it doesn't really yeild a good result because my efforts just pass through a deaf ear Grin

It is very hard to change people's beliefs because it is something they have held on to for a very long time. Just leave them to believe whatever they want, after all, their belief doesn't affect you in any other way. Just keep doing what you believe in.

It is a new market and what belief do they have if they know nothing about the market, you need some patience and skills to learn about a new market and it is not that easy for someone who is not interested to understand how the market works or how to evaluate a market which has no physical presence, there is no point in arguing with anyone who is not interested to learn, but i do engage in healthy debates every now and then Grin
