we really cant deny the facts that there are people nowadays who engages with bitcoin but doesn't fully understand what it really is.
for them bitcoin is just a form of investment and a great way to earn money.
but if you will ask them even just what is a blockchain they cannot explain it.
that is why they cannot really promote it to other person since they dont know it for themselves too.
therefore those of us who has knowledge must continue on teaching others so that it will be known to all people..

There's a reason why they don't know about those stuffs -- They are not interested about it. For them bitcoin is a mere form of investment and so that's how they treat it. They don't care what's going on under the hood. They don't care about the nodes and all that and that shouldn't concern you at all. It doesn't even concern them. What I realized is that as time goes by and the more bitcoin becomes like a usual currency, the more the technical part of bitcoin will be neglected. Supply and demand is just common knowledge, so people would know how bitcoin's price is determined.

We don't have to teach them at all. Just imagine a teacher trying to teach Math class to an English major student. The reason why he/she took English as a major is because that's what they are interested on. It's not that he's totally not into Math, it's just that he's not interested. This is analogous to people only wanting to learn about the investment and money making aspect of bitcoin and not the technicalities.

Convincing people who are ignoring bitcoin would only result to loss of time. Like what you said, if an individual is uninterested about a certain topic or discussion, they will not listen no matter how beneficial the thing really is. Most people do not know bitcoin since some are just plainly ignorant, others do not have any internet access which hinders their capacity into knowing things, or some are just unsatisfied and uninterested about it. We cannot blame them since all of us decide for ourselves but they certainly miss the opportunities waiting for them.

It is very hard nowadays to convince people into investing, considering that bitcoin exists within the internet. Nowadays, there are a lot of of scam sites roaming around in the internet which contributes to their decision, thus making them doubtful and skeptical. But once you show them actual proof or evidence that you really earn (like receipts, proof of transactions, etc.), then you might be able to open their minds and change their heart, perspective, and attitude towards bitcoin.

Actually they do know i see many people who have heard of bitcoin and claim that it is some online scam but they don't know anything about the price, how it works etc they are just repeating what most media is saying calling is a pyramid scheme. I have nothing to lose I'm happy with the all the profits but bitcoin currently is famous

Some also have an idea about bitcoin but almost i see is that no idea about bitcoin some also joining bitcoin in gambling and some hyip thats the reason why people thinking that bitcoin is a scam

Most are ill informed and have misconceptions on bitcoin. A lot are victims of scams, especially from ICOs, and this has given the impression to others that bitcoin is fraudulent and fake. Some people make judgements out of their experience from the scams. They have only seen the surface area of bitcoin; the tip of the iceberg. This is why we must spread better knowledge about bitcoin so that more people will be better informed and there will be more adopters and users.

I think that what they have experienced are not about bitcoin but rather about them being negligent. They didn't know about ponzi scams and so they got scammed. They didn't know that investment schemes on the Internet are all just a scam. They didn't know that websites that have a really good feedback have their investors and promoters put all that feedback and downvote all the negative ones. I have even seen a rev share group on facebook that is actively moderated. They check what you post and comment and every negative feedback is removed. It's like a trap for anyone who gets in, they are poisoned by all the positive feedback given by promoters, all for the sole purpose of having new people come in to their website.

Was it bitcoin that scammed them? No, it's the people that are behind those scam projects. Bitcoin itself is not a scam, strangers on the Internet are.

This thread was posted a year ago and nothing has changed expect the value of Bitcoin wich jumped from 1000$ as Op mentioned to 6000$.
I believe we have to wait for a long time before we can see Bitcoin used everywhere. Here, it's the same few people know about Bitcoin wich make it, im most cases, useless.

Every time I go to the bank I like to ask them if they have heard of BTC, most of the time the answer is no.   
I do ask a lot of people about BTC.. a restaurant near me.. near ish use to accept it as well, I asked to pay with it, they said it no longer exists.. .... ...

Most people I find still have zero idea what BTC is unless they are friends with the likes of us.. I don't think we are even in early adoption stage.. we are in "the chasm" .. it would appear we are going to survive though... appear anyways..

I dunno just something I have taken note of. 

Pretty much everyone that has heard of it assumes it's worth like 5 cents and shits themselves when I say it's $1k (Cad) .. we are in very interesting times with BTC.

I also once asked the people around me, they also answered did not know about bitcoin. in my opinion they are very loss do not join bitcoin. there are some who want to know about bitcoin, I taught him about bitcoin, then he is very happy because he has earned from bitcoin.

yes your statement is very legit.even when i ask people about bitcoin they just think i a talking about fairy tales.
This leads me to the idea if this is still in its very very early stage where its not available for normal people.
is it still worth to buy a lot of bit coin at its 6000usd price?
I mean within 5 years can we expect it to be famous and booming in price?

They may not know about it. Many of my family and I do not know.
Internet followers may have heard about it. This is an absolute rare but new registration is underway.

Almost a year after your posting time, much have happened OP. Here in our country we have millions of what we call here "keyboard warriors" because almost everyone here are into social medias especially facebook. I've seen how powerful this platform is and right now btc is all over it. Although many have heard about it already, all they know about it is its name and not its function. Many are interested but don't know how to start so they just ignore it.

The average person I've met includes my friends and relatives not knowing the bitcoin. Every time I tell a bitcoin, they listen and get confused. Few people understand bitcoin in my neighborhood

bitcoin is still stuck in a risky investment pattern, bitcoin is also not free from official regulatory issues, many people are afraid of it and they are dominated as people who want to play safer for their survival. Internet use has not been able to open their minds more.

Btc is still in its early stages. For world popularity i mean. Lots of people do not know what btc or cryptocurrency is. People into investing and knows the internet are usually into btc. People that are not into internet invest in real estate. That is just my opinion. Smiley

Few people in my country know about bitcoin, and extremely few of them know how to use bitcoin to better their life, because many people think bitcoin wont help us anything and refuse to believe in it.

I think that not everyone already knows about bitcoin because some of my friends didn't know about it. There are people who know about Bitcoin but there are few who doesn't know about it. Some of my friends knows about it but they didn't believe on it because they always say that bitcoin is a scam or a dangerous site, I don't know why they think that Bitcoin is a scam but there are more people who believe on it because they all know the process and they all know how it works and how we earn to it.
