Topic: Don't expect everyone to embrace Bitcoin - page 2. (Read 1016 times)

Of course, not everyone agrees and will accept bitcoins as currency. Bitcoin is for everyone, but not everyone is for bitcoin. In fact we cannot deny that a large part of the crypto community on this forum also does not have bitcoins in their portfolio, while they tend to own altcoins regardless of the reason for having them.

The gradual growth in adoption may encourage people to use bitcoin as a means of payment, but I don't think bitcoin is a mainstream currency that will be adopted en masse around the world. I think bitcoin is an alternative currency worth considering, but as said bitcoin is not for everyone to pay for but bitcoin have become an investment asset to generate profits.

I definitely agree with this. Despite the growing popularity of Bitcoin, not everyone is jumping on with the cryptocurrency trend because, to begin with, it is not made to please and encourage everyone. Some still remain skeptical about its long-term viability, which is okay. Whatever the reason, it's clear that not everyone is ready to embrace the digital future just yet.

However, as more and more business transactions begin to accept Bitcoin as a legitimate form of payment, we could see a shift in attitudes towards this. Still, only time will tell whether Bitcoin will become a universally accepted currency or whether it will remain a niche interest only for a few

It takes one to be lucky and do the right thing at the right time, and then the person can expect success in whatever they are doing. So it applies to crypto generally: there are people who have accumulated wealth and riches because of their investment in Bitcoin or other altcoins; the same is true for some people who have also invested in and made good profits from real Estate. Investing in Altcoins can make one lose their investment, unless the person is lucky enough to invest in an Altcoin that can earn them some profit before it crashes to an ATL that will never go up again. So, with Bitcoin investment, you don't just have to rely on it as the only source of income; otherwise, you will not be able to hold it until you are supposed to make a huge profit. That's the reason why some investors have success with it at the end because they were able to hold their coins and even keep accumulating more.

We know that while Investing in something, the higher your capital invested, the higher your profit, but some people also just invest a little amount and expect to make huge profits during the bull run, but it doesn't work like that. Bitcoin investment is not a miracle or magical money; it also has principles like the bigger your investment, the bigger your expected profit.

Those that are happy to share what Bitcoin is, there's nothing wrong with it. I've been there and done that and those people that have rejected me sharing what I've known with Bitcoin didn't stop and lose my optimism towards it. I understand that I may be alone on this journey with my family and that's totally fine because we've got different paths to take and I've chosen to take the risk that I've been with because I understand Bitcoin. Just don't be disappointed whenever you see people reject you when you're about to talk about them. They're interested to know what people are earning with Bitcoin but, they are not willing to take it further because whenever money talks, they'll be there to listen. But upon pulling out some bucks on their pockets, they are not there and will ghost it.

Of course because everyone is different with their habits and skills, and if they are comfortable and also very profitable in their field, it is not easy to switch to another place or to this industry because they will definitely start from scratch and learn it too.
and being involved with bitcoin or this industry is not just one advantage, but another. Very safe and comfortable to own and use, an asset that can store value in a very safe, transparent and also freedom because we control it ourselves. And bitcoin is a decentralized financial system that runs on a peer-to-peer consensus, created as an alternative to traditional money and can send and receive very quickly without limits and many other benefits.
and in terms of profit it depends on how many bitcoins we have and how long we hold them, because in the future bitcoin will definitely be very expensive and useful.

Bitcoin is a digital assets used across the globe and it only function through internet, and not something like analog, most elderly people from age of late 40th upwards prefer analog of teach they're assets always and that is one of the reasons they are keep doubting Bitcoin, and Bitcoin coin price Keep appreciate in price as time goes on, I strongly believe when Bitcoin price reach $100,000 per 1BTC, the level of embrace of Bitcoin we increase more.

         And even more of those people who lost money on investing in Bitcoin. This is a very high-risk direction. Only those who are familiar with it and know how to manage risks should go here. Do you think there are many? No, this is far from true. A sufficiently large number of investors, traders completely thoughtlessly commit actions in pursuit of profit, which leads to the loss of all capital.
         Coming back after this is not so easy. Too much pressure is put on the psyche. Went through this myself. It was not a very pleasant time for me then. Barely survived it all.

It is very normal, not only with bitcoin but in our own lives, we have missed a lot of different opportunities. Everyone will have a different vision and mindset, they may miss the opportunity with bitcoin but they can succeed with other things. Last year in my country, real estate suddenly increased rapidly, prices increased several times, in some places dozens of times in just a few months. I liken the rise in real estate prices same the rise of shitcoins, and it's like a trap. And I turned down the game and missed the chance, while some of my friends rejected bitcoin but they won the real estate craze. In the end, they are richer than I am and are enjoying life.

yes, I agree with your opinion and we as BTC investors, we should not convince other people to trust BTC, because of course everyone has their own opinion and it is different. because one day when the time comes, people will definitely find out what bitcoin is because now is the era of the internet, surely people will have the potential to find out what bitcoin is.

In every good opportunity that presents itself, there are usually some people who get so sceptical about it that, at the end, they still regret it. It's something that happens repeatedly, and will never cease happening. There were also some early investors who sold out very early as well, but they are also regretting it today. Some people also get misled by their friends advice about their past experiences with other Altcoins, which is why they fail to give Bitcoin a chance. Also, some people think that Bitcoin investment is so risky that they can't give it a try. Well, what I just realised is that some people had it in mind to invest in or accept Bitcoin, but along the way, they got some misconceptions about it and just let it go.

There will be many people you know who may regret it when they learn about Bitcoin. So those who know about Bitcoin should tell their acquaintances about Bitcoin. Maybe there will be many people who will not care about Bitcoin but when they learn about it second time from someone else, they won't miss the moment anymore. And even knowing there, many won't collect bitcoins. They can reject the offer. But there is nothing to be disappointed. It is not a crime to inform people who don't know about Bitcoin yet rather they will regret when they will deserve about bitcoin.

Just as my friends didn't shove down investing in the stock exchange market to me, I replicate by not doing so with bitcoin. I get, not everyone will accept bitcoin. But occasionally, I send them a news article or share a tweet with them about bitcoin and the what is going on with it. Sometimes we have a conversation around it but they haven't invested. This is what I certainly do not understand about them. They have a pretty perfect understand about bitcoin but are not interested in investing because they are already doing well in the financial market. I don't expect them to embrace bitcoin but I hope one they they'll just try it out.

I can't find a topic that talks about a family member getting angry at another family for refusing bitcoin!  do I miss it?

since birth everyone has the right to whatever is their choice, including accepting bitcoin or rejecting it but is bitcoin bad?
when you explain something nice and people get angry about it, aren't you doing nothing wrong!
bitcoin is not a bad thing to teach so I don't see explaining bitcoin to other family members is a mistake, keep spreading bitcoin.  to others, it is a kindness even if you are rejected at the beginning.

I very much agree with you bud, i believe that it is already a known fact that for anyone to be able to transact in bitcoin successfully without problems, they need at least, a basic level of technical knowledge,  with that knowledge, they know how to send, receive coins, and also know how to sell or buy coins, this knowledge will also help them understand how the bitcoin blockchain works, and some of the basic technical things do when they the chain gets clogged, like how to adjust gas fees and so on.

Any body with not enough education, that is someone who can hardly read or write, will sure find using bitcoin for their day to day transactions tedious, expect those who will be willing to take time to learn how to do all of those basic technical stuffs.

So yeah, like the subject title said, not everyone will embrace bitcoin for sure, because of the complexity in it, most especially, our already aged father and mothers, this ones will always prefer to stay with that which they are familiar with, the fiat , but for those that will embrace bitcoin, like you have said , it should be usable for us.

Besides, investing in Bitcoin or knowing Bitcoin is not a life and death situation where a person will die if he will not accept Bitcoin or he missed out on Bitcoin information.  Life still goes on even when people is not into Bitcoin besides, even before Bitcoin is created many individuals also accumulated wealth in a different investment.  So it is normal to expect that not all people will immediately jump on the Bitcoin bandwagon.

If people see the potential in Bitcoin, they will invest in it but sadly there are still lots of people who do not see the potential of the Bitcoin market.

The way bitcoin investment is, not everyone would invest in it. There will still be those who won't invest in it, and there will also be those who would.

Let's take for instance "gold" Would I say many people all over the world know about gold and its worth, does everyone have it after they must have known its worth? I think your answer will be no. That's the same case with bitcoin. Despite the fact that many individuals are aware of bitcoin potential value, they still find it extremely difficult to invest in it. They won't want to trust it or make an investment in it. 

Really? Bitcoin for all" I understand your perspective. Everybody loves pie, right? Bitcoin is more complicated than apple pie. Its hard to get folks into this wild place. How can you convince them this isn't digital voodoo? Not a park walk... Some may be receptive, while others may be so resistant you might as well sell ice to an Eskimo.

That "overthrowing the government" is ridiculous. Not Tom Clancy's latest thriller, Bitcoin! The goal is to make more money, not to start a revolution or uprising.

The most important thing is that Bitcoin should be usable for those that believe and adopt it,  as an alternative to the traditional financial system and that is where the ultimate thing lies because Bitcoin adoption is motivated by several things and not everyone is looking for such things and due to the urgency of need not everybody will see bitcoin in the light of what Bitcoin is and stands for.

Is more better for a few percentages of those that believe in Bitcoin to continue to make efforts to building their own financial knowledge and continue to enjoy the alternative financial freedom that Bitcoin brings.

Bitcoin isn't for everyone because it requires from the individual capacity of abstracting himself from his local imposed financial tradition. It requires a rupture of mindset, besides basic technological understanding and knowledge to access electronic devices connected to the internet (computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets...). You have to think outside the bubble to embrace Bitcoin, and as far as I know, the largest percentage of the population in the world live inside bubbles, which are their currently system of masses.

I believe we just can't suffer for these people not adopting Bitcoin. Let each person decide what is the best for their own lives and gather the fruits of their choices later on.

Bitcoin is not everyone’s favorite and goal so don’t expect that all people will head over heels on it. It’s only a temporary investment and currency for them so they will always think it’s never worth of their risk. And the fact that bitcoin is involved in some cryptocurrency scams, then obviously some people will still chose fiat over bitcoin and for now, their minds are close on bitcoin.
