Topic: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? - page 7. (Read 6853 times)
I think it's best not to tell anyone about your money. People are assholes. I just read a story of a 70 year old man who was held at gunpoint by criminals who knocked on his door, demanding the key for his safe. Stupid criminals, because it narrows it down to people who know the 70 year old guy, and that he has a safe. But the point is, if you have a safe, and a criminal friend just happens to see as they walk by, then you instantly become a target, even if you're just using a safe to hide your Playboys. So I keep quiet.
Not yet to the public but mostly of the time i told to my friends , families and relatives. I always open up my source of extra income to those people who are willing to earn money with the help of bitcoin.
I do not hide it. And of course I do not brag on every corner. I believe that in the future bitcoints will enjoy many.
yes. i tell'm in public.
coz many people know and curious in bitcoin maybe later they try and slightly interest that would increase the bitcoin price. LOL

Actually I don't. Because in the first place I'm not the type of person that will just tell someone what I'm doing in my life, I won't tell someone until they asked me and it depends if I trust them enough or not. But most of the person don't know about the bitcoin so that's why I don't tell it on public because if I do there are gonna be a lot of explanations that's gonna happen.
Well you don't have to be that kind of person to bring up a topic of bitcoin. I always bring it when we talk about earning some spare money.
Not to the public like people you did not know. But I do tell it to my friends and always telling it to my special someone and to my family. They will most likely to believe you and listen to you rather than random persons. I tell them how I earn extra profit and how does it work. They just listen and would ask question but not will try to do it on their own.

I got your point there ,im also that kind of person when it comes on secret doings .even my earnings i won't tell on them .i am just simply doing what i do . But when they ask me what is that or how to earn with that i will teach them especially my family members first .also i won't spoon feed on them if they ask i will tell them to make some research first .i am mad answering every details ex what is blockchain wallet ,satoshi,btc ,bitcoins something like that basic to know about bitcoins. 
Why not? it isn't illegal and is now being adopted quite a bit, look at the recent Circle Pay - Apple collaboration as an example, maybe back in the day when all you heard relating to bitcoin was illegal activities etc it would be a bit hush hush to talk about bitcoin.
Now we have banks using the blockchain and it is overall looking a lot more positive for bitcoin, the same with cash and any other form of currency there will always be the bad bunch but the good usually always outweighs the bad.

Yes, of course, its not like taboo to me, i tell everyone
Same here, I'm often mentioning about bitcoin around my friends and family, don't see a reason why I should hide this fact. Most of them are truly interested in the subject, so I takethis opportunity and explain as simple and attractive as I can, what bitcoins are and how to collect it. Often a good conversation starter, because in general people are hungry of new and innovative technology.
No I don't tell it public. It is my little secret. People would think me as a Junkie. I don't want that.
not in public but mostly to my friends although i am not going to hide it as i have also draw bitcoin logo on my bike and i think that is the most exp loser of bitcoin in public and most of the time people ask me about that and then i use to tell me a detail story of bitcoin and they really appreciate it and show interest to start it.
when i meet my friend and he/she ask me what is my job, i will answer i play and trading bitcoin. and if they ask what is bitcoin, then i will explain what i know. and this is what i do when someone ask what is my jobs and i will tell them about bitcoin. at least, i am trying to introduce bitcoin into my friends.
Is Bitcoin still considered shady in the public opinion or government opinion?

It's not a secret CIA dudes read this forum. I tried for long time to keep my nationality obscured but eventually I've blown it.
I've also found out that Romanian Intelligence Service keeps noting on Romanians that use Bitcoin. Not for the security of the state but for personal reasons. Please note that in Romania, a country with 22.000.000 people there are officially 200.000 mobile phone taps.

I think it's a "Nerd" technology and not all using this form of payment for "black" purpose like selling drugs , weapons etc...
Sometime I talk about bitcoin when chat with my friends. But not every friends, just some friends who interest in online marketplace or make money online. And in thats conversation, I tell them that I use bitcoin
Of course, I do. With friends and with anybody who is interested about crypto.
Sometimes I'm telling to my friends that I use bitcoin. I'm trying to explain them how it works, why bitcoin is good. But mostly are not interested in bitcoin. And mostly mid-age people hardly can understand what is bitcoin and think that it's something shady.
Of course, I do. Why shouldn't I? There's nothing to be ashamed of. Then, all my friends know I'm somewhat special with a different lifestyle and political beliefs, so BTC fits me quite well.
It's not considered shady, it's just got stereotypes associating it with nerds, Libertarians, or both.
Only to my friend and my family. They asked me how I have money because I have no job and then I told them about signature campaign and bitcoin. They were all amazed and wonder how could it happen. When I showed it to them they were like okay it is only for people with brains. They love the idea but would not want to try it as they sees it as complicated.
