Yes, you are right if we talk about Bitcoin to other people who are interested, from the start we have to convey and underline and even we have to emphasize the explanation to them that investing in Bitcoin has some risks, so before deciding to go further they can consider it first.
It's not just talking about the beauty or benefits of investing in Bitcoin, if we just explain it like that then it's the same as building the perception that investing in Bitcoin is a way to get rich quickly.
Sometimes I feel very unfortunate if there is someone who is new and not much knows about cryptocurrencies and has minimal knowledge about cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin but insists on introducing and inviting many people to invest in Bitcoin.
At least someone who wants to introduce or invite others to invest in Bitcoin must have sufficient knowledge in order to have a mature concept to explain to introduce and teach Bitcoin investment in a structured and gradual manner.

At start when one set foot into the crypto world then he is interested to share his knowledge with others but he Don't know completely which become perilous for others as little knowledge is dangerous. It will be better if once a person get overall knowledge and then spread it among others.

Those who heard about bitcoin just welcomed to the financial gain and escape the rest of the negative results as a consequence of which their ends become fallacious. Such a behaviors is greedy as people just wants to enlarge their treasury but do not think that it also have some perils and greed is the most usual process through which investor or trader loss wealth.
Lack of knowledge would really be that dangerous, how much more into those people who tend to share up those ideas even if its not really that something complete or really in detailed on which focusing only on the

benefit factor and didnt really make out some explanation about its con's on which it would really be leading into misleading type of condition on which it would be causing for other people on experiencing those devastation because of the non sufficient information that they do able to get from other people.This is why on personal approach and decisions then it would be really that sensible that on the time that you do get
some random information from other people or even into closest one or your friend then it would be always that recommendable or suggested that you should really be digging further because there are really that things which might not really be able to explained out or had been skipped on which it would really be resulting into those wrong beliefs.

Wont really be that shocking if  there would be people who would really be that close minded when it comes to opportunities or things that they might be able to encounter which it wont really be that surprising
if there are people who arent that interested with crypto no mater how other people would be making out those kind of sharing about such information or even on the time that they would be able
to encounter it out.

There are many people who have found success and changed their lives through investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. There are many cases where people or organizations reject this technology but later regret the missed opportunity for growth and financial improvement. I objectively agree that not everyone will accept and see Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as an investment opportunity, but I still encourage everyone to take this opportunity, but don't expect too much from it to get the same good results as in the other cases. Because whether you have knowledge or take risks, the element of luck is still something that represents luck.

Not all people will support the use of the bitcoin, in few reason because they don't know what bitcoin is and they have face already the use of the bitcoin but they have a bad experience.
People afraid to use the things they know and it's one of the defensive mechanism so they afraid to take a risk what it is and ignore all this time, they just got their attention when they see the potential of it. Some people use the bitcoin already but the cons is they made a bad experience and don't want to happen this anymore. But if you are an optimistic person and wanting to risk like other maybe in the future it will gives a good profit.

You're never going to convince everybody to embrace bitcoin. We’re all individuals, we all have our own ideas, opinions & ways of thinking. Bitcoin is still fairly niche & it’s only been here since 2009. Adoption is increasing as time passes & that’s all that matters. Don’t worry about trying to see everybody invest in or speak positively about bitcoin. If people don’t get it then that’s their loss. 
Individuals have difference in thinking and it is by nature something good for a person used to be bad for another person. It all happens out of experience or the understanding. Everyone wouldn't understand the same way, so it is hard to see people positive about bitcoin and embracing it. It is good to give a better explanation if someone is negative about bitcoin. Rest is their choice whether to accept what we say or this can make them think why can't we analyse and understand what is the truth.

The earlier we understand that bitcoin is not for everyone, the better because it saves us the time and energy that we would have used to convince those who are uninterested, to move on to those who are interested and it can also drive adoption faster. I've read some threads here of some people trying to convince their family members on the positives of Bitcoin and get enraged if the said members don't share the same opinion as them but I feel everyone is entitled to his opinion and while some regard Bitcoin with outright disgust like Charlie Munger, there are some who care less of it's existence.

Bitcoiners have the opportunity to stand for something and that's eliminating the need for central authorities such as the government and banks and rather than forcing everyone to confirm to their beliefs, it's better to find an audience worth serving. What's your take, guys?



On the contrary, I think bitcoin is for everyone. Understandably, not everyone would be interested in bitcoin or some people may have the wrong notion about bitcoin that would have them totally uninterested in bitcoin. I myself once had the wrong notion about bitcoin and wasn’t interested then in bitcoin. It didn’t mean bitcoin wasn’t for me, as I’m now very much interested in it and thankfully, bitcoin is still there for me.

Obviously, it could be a tedious task trying to convince someone ignorant and swimming in misinformation. But there are also people out there with curious open minds who after digesting the truth and facts about bitcoin, would eagerly embrace bitcoin.
When I do try to talk about bitcoin to someone that’s skeptical, from our conversations, I would try and access how open minded the person is in learning new things and leaving his misconceptions aside.

There are people who may need a little more nudging and there are some that would willfully remain ignorant. It’s left for us to choose who to engage with the gospel about bitcoin.
You mentioned bitcoiners standing for something and eliminating central authority like the government lol. What actually do you propose?  An insurrection?

But the main thing is that if you are talking about bitcoin investment so you should also share risk factor about bitcoin and if they accept bitcoin with risk so they will not blame you because you already told them about each and everything.

Honestly, ever since I started investing in bitcoin, I can't find any good reason to spend time trying to convince someone to believe in bitcoin. Because if they invest in bitcoin, it's their right, and the profit will be theirs, I won't get anything from them. But if they lose, I will definitely be the one to blame, so why should we waste time on that? I focus on my life because when I get stuck, no one will help me, so I will just focus on my investment instead of wasting my time.

People thinks that if they get profit then its their hard work but if they fail so that will because of that person who told them about bitcoin investment which is totally a wrong concept. They should accept both success and defeat and should never blame others because if they get profit by themselves then defeat is also because of their wrong decision.

If one faces negative behavior from those individuals who are bitcoin investor because of you so no one will wants to share this idea with others because we don't get their money so we are not responsible for their defeat. But the main thing is that if you are talking about bitcoin investment so you should also share risk factor about bitcoin and if they accept bitcoin with risk so they will not blame you because you already told them about each and everything.

What is happening right now.? Bitcoin is even more developed even though there are still some who do not accept Bitcoin in their lives. Introducing Bitcoin to people who are not willing to accept the existence of Bitcoin is just a waste of time and energy, even though you have explained all the advantages that Bitcoin has, they are still in principle.
There is no need to force anyone into Bitcoin, just let them be in principle. Facts that are happening in the midst of society, Investors are increasing and more and more people are entrusting their money to be stored in the form of Bitcoin.
So true. Even without the need for us to force other people, in fact the growth in the number of bitcoin holders is increasing or growing rapidly. And it's true that we shouldn't waste time trying to convince people who aren't interested in Bitcoin that they are. Because it will only make us tired of talking to ourselves. So it is more effective for us to only teach those who want to learn and tell those who are curious. But sooner or later the next generation will most likely make bitcoin adoption even more widespread than it is today. Because we know that today's younger generation is much more interested in technology and including crypto in it. Whereas the older generation is currently only a few interested in technological advances such as crypto in it. I feel that naturally Bitcoin will start to be adopted more by our generation and beyond.

Of course you can not force Bitcoin down everyone's throat. No matter how enticing it is, not everyone will embrace Bitcoin, except their lives depend on it.
The best that can be done is to introduce them to it, and allow them make their own decisions whether they wanna invest in it or not.

There's the saying that you can only force the horse to the stream but can't force it to drink water..the more you keep convincing someone of the good of Bitcoin and he's not buying your words, you can be upset and this might lead the person to think it's a scam project.
 When you understand that not everyone is supposed to embrace the idea of Bitcoin, it then means you are mature enough to respect their decision.

 There's always going to be conflict of interest and therefore while there are some who outrightly disgust it, some are on the fence because it's like they are weighing which has more value than the other..

You’re on point mate. We can’t force everyone to embrace bitcoin simply because it will be our future. Know that when it comes to bitcoin, some will highly think about it as a scheme rather than seeing it as a pure investment that has great potentials. And we can’t blame them if they’ll think it that way because a lot of times bitcoin has been indirectly involved in different scams. However, I guess if majority of the government will start to side bitcoin which I think is hardly possible these days, then people will eventually change their negative mindset about bitcoin and will start to consider it as a reliable currency aside from being a valuable investment.

It's true that when you expect something to happen and it doesn't, it hurts. That is also true with Bitcoin; if you expect someone to have a favorable attitude toward Bitcoin but instead receive negativity, you will be disappointed. It may have an impact on your positive outlook and deplete your energy, especially if you are emotionally affected by such statements. I understand that we want to assist others better their life in the future by teaching them about Bitcoin, but we must keep in mind that not everyone will agree and respond positively to you. You can easily go on and never be disappointed this way.

yes indeed not everyone will accept btc which of course they also have reasons such as seeing people who invest in btc suffer losses, don't force it people to invest in btc because everyone has a different opinion, because usually people don't understand btc just want quick profits and want to get rich overnight, and don't think about risk.

forget about them , this market don't need people like them.

Instead focus on your acheivement in this market.

Convincing some people about some things is nothing but a waste of time. I think there is no point in discussing Bitcoin with people who don't want to learn or know about Bitcoin. Anyone who wants to learn will express their interest to learn or know on their own, it is not our responsibility to educate them about Bitcoin. There are some people who may get the wrong idea about you when discussing Bitcoin with them. If a person comes to me interested in learning about Bitcoin, I will definitely give them as much information as possible about Bitcoin, but I will not go out of my way to teach anyone about Bitcoin.

It is better to concentrate on the ready audience, some people don't understand what it meant by Bitcoin, yet they see it as a scam.

No matter what you tell them, it will never change their mindset, they have already chosen the path that they perceive as a good one, so the best option is to move on with the folks that believe that Bitcoin has come to stay as the currency of the future.

The truth is, you don't have to force anyone to believe in what they don't know, it is a gradual process, so for now let's continue doing the needful by concentrating on people that want to be carried along, not by force.

Don't get disappointed in someone who doesn't understand the potential of Bitcoin, but you should feel sorry for them, that's how I take it. When I tell someone about Bitcoin and suggest they get involved, maybe not monetarily but should at least learn about it, and if they start talking negatively about it, I don't argue with them and simply think in my mind that they will surely regret this in future and that is when they will realize that my suggestion was gold.

I never get disheartened or disappointed when someone doesn't agree with me or thinks that Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies are useless and a waste of time, I don't say anything to them once I know that they are literally ignorant and they listen to what they hear from here and there, I let them be and just don't mention it again.

Let's really expect that most people will not embrace or recognize Bitcoin. Just like me, my family or relatives don't believe in what I'm doing, even though they see that I'm surviving because of what I'm doing.

So I don't talk to them about Bitcoin because I know their response. they just let me do what I do. So this Bitcoin is really a big thing for me, it is God's instrument to provide me with my expenses and pay my billings which if I total and I spend around 400-600$ a month, depending on the market of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency.
It's good for you to earn or benefit from Bitcoin. We just cannot change how other people see something differently in comparison with how we view it. This has something to do with how well you know aboyt something. Since we know its potential then ofcourse would be biased of it but others may not. In most instances those who do not engage in this technology are those who knows only a few about this industry. And some of them are aware of the advantage but are still not convinced to invest because they cannot embrace the risk. Eitherway, we don't have to force them towards Bitcoin adoption. We should rather wait for such thing to occur for them to be fully ready of this technology's difference over fiat.

I think if you are making a living from Bitcoin or blockchain, then it's necessary to explain how it works properly to your friends and family, or else how will they understand your purpose and your day to day life? It's better that they understand the unique nature, how it works and how much resilience you need to be a part of Bitcoin, rather than thinking you are a part of some scam or wasting your time for a living.

I do not think that we have the responsibility to tell our friends what is our source of income.  I believe it is a personal thing unless we are eager to share them about the information.

Very interesting view. Does this mean that none of your friends or your family know (even roughly) what you do for work, or what you do to make ends meet/a living? Or did I just step into a Bitcoin millionaire who doesn't need to Wink

Of course we don't have the responsibility - but it isn't really a sensitive detail, in fact it is a detail that is hard to conceal especially from your family if the relationship with them is not broken.

I'd love to hear more from you about this, just from my curiosity.

It's better to try and educate those who will be more receptive to learning than those who are stubborn or strangers to you.

I agree we must select those who are interested to learn.  Those who are not will only waste our time and effort.

Well, not entirely true. You can convert stubborn people with factual information. You just need to be fluent and prepared to put in a lot of effort.

Bitcoiners have the opportunity to stand for something and that's eliminating the need for central authorities such as the government and banks and rather than forcing everyone to confirm to their beliefs, it's better to find an audience worth serving. What's your take, guys?

You need to pick your battles wisely. Someone who is curious and seems to have an open mind might be a better option than someone who is not open to the idea of an alternative, peer to peer cash system.

I agree, between the person who is open-minded and not, It is better to share information to people who are open for new knowledges because there is a more chance that these kinds of people will get interested to new things and new technology  such as Bitcoin.

It is easier this way. Technically, it is better to successfully convert someone who is against it, as it means less FUD and false information from them in the future, instead positivity. Though like I said above, in terms of the time and effort it takes, it's a lot harder.

I'd enthuse a literate person who is wealthy enough to not worry about themselves and their loved ones financially to spread the good word and take up the challenge. For the average person who is trying to survive or fend for themselves, family, etc. It's not worth the time.
