Topic: From bitcoin is a scam to bitcoin is the future (Read 836 times)

The statement BTC is a scam has never been hold up properly. Usually people who said that are ignorant people, people who did not do their due homework, or people who have benefits in going against BTC. Rather than saying BTC is a scam, I think I can accept BTC is lousy more in my dictionary.

They are just jealous and do not have time to buy at a low price, and after that they make useless news like this. If bitcoin SCAM we will not be able to get a profit, let alone to be able to sell our Bitcoin. I am very thankful for bitcoin, bitcoin has changed my life. Such nonsense will not change my love for bitcoin

it is true bitcointak for a good future and should be active in bitcointalk every day and can see a scam or not.

I don't think the truth is somewhere in the middle, the truth never came up. It doesn't exsit for now. Bitcoin still keeps its magical potential, and whent he potential appeared, the truth will be available for us. We still need time.

This is absolutely right. Because in that time no one has proven that the bitcoin is a legit because it is a new for us because it is the very first digital currency but suddenly the banks and other financial sector accept the bitcoin as a currency in that situation there will be a drastically change in the way of viewing the bitcoin so for now the bitcoin is the legit one and maybe the future of the currency.

Everything is a scam until proven it isnt. Do we trust strangers by nature? Do we not see them as a potential risk in our life? Don't they have to prove us wrong? Well, Bitcoin is not the exception. We don't know if Satoshi is going to dump his thousands of Bitcoins one day on the market but I guess even Nakamoto will want to take profits at some point unless he is dead 

Banks are selfish they don't care about the money you earned or on you're savings they care about the high interest on your money they earned or steal. Unlike bitcoin,bitcoin does not take interest on you. So other government and banks makes way to make bitcoin just a  bad or scam but there was'nt a prove to make bitcoin bad and they have no choice but to accept bitcoin

Bitcoin was considered a scam at first because it is a premined coin and usually premined coins are scams. But not always. And over time people have made millions from Bitcoin so it is safe to say it isn't a scam at all (obviously). Also when it started it was used to buy drugs and illegal stuff mostly which is another reason for the negative stigma before.

It is the joke of the year, calling bitcoins or even any other crypto currency is just ridiculous. I have heard rumors about bitcoin being illegal in countries like Russia etc but they have not made it illegal yet. Actually, they are thinking to introduce it to their people. If it was a scam, it would not have such a large community.

no country has ever called bitcoin a "scam coin"!
some of them may have said bitcoin is used for illegal activities and 2 or 3 countries out of 195 countries in the world have made it illegal. but even they have never called it "scam coin".
the only time that any one used that word, is when a random person or a shitty click-bait website like your link wants to attract attention or spread FUD.

I think the government does not want to lose their currency because bitcoin will replace it. many reasons the government announced to bitcoin that bitcoin is a counterfeit currency. that is wrong .. i think today people already know about bitcoin. most of them are already using it. and become a millionaire because of bitcoin. so even though the government and the bank give an announcement that bitcoin is a scam .. it will not affect the society .. especially for those bitcoin users

There is always two ideas in everything in this world. The one who supports and the other ones who are against it. I don't care who discredit btc because I know they will never win and majority of the world will support crypto.

government and banks see bitcoin as a threat as it will be soon replace fiat money thats why they make action to prove that bitcoin and other crypro are scam but still they cant prove it and banks fail to there moves thats why government and banks are now accepting bitcoin they say" if you cant beat your enemy join them" that what banks and other government do. as they cannot stop the out growing popularity of bitcoin and other crypto they are now accepting it plus blockchain is secured. in the near future bitcoin will be the next currency

bitcoin is never made as a scam, the problem with most people is that they talk too much and don't research nor ask someone who understand what bitcoin is. and sad to say even financial gurus, tend no to read about bitcoins, rather they focus on the stock market, even though it is their specialty, they should also try to read articles regarding bitcoin. I had an experience before with a so-called financial guru here in m country, I showed him the charts of bitcoin for 1 year, I should him all the graphs, and the speculations prior the actual graph, then I've been told that it is not a good investment, what you have is a scam, no investment can go more than 200% in a short period of time, even google took that long, then I ask him, is it possible to have a great stock, he then told me yes, but bitcoin is different, there are no board of directors, who are you going to trust with your investments. I was shocked with what I've heard and was saddened to know, that certain guru, doesn't do what he preaches, he was advising that time that gold is still a good investment, and bitcoin is considered gold 2.0, just the same with physical gold, there are no board of directors. Instead of asking that guru again I read articles and books and gained more knowledge, and what I've found out, is that bitcoin's volatility is a good thing, it will give you more profit in the future. I think those people who say bitcoin is  scam, just need to be more diligent in finding out what bitcoin is.

Some people just have nothing better to do then moan and grown and speak utter rubbish about things they have no idea about. These people usually are not doing much with their kids and want to inflate their own importance and act like they know everything. Naysayer's. Never listen to them for of you so you will fail at everything in life . It's really obviously Bitcoin is great and whoever can't see so.... Well.... They get get left behind.

I don't know who are the people behind the scam accusation of Bitcoin. But I am also a victim of that fake news spammed on social media. That's why I have hesitation before when I first met Bitcoin. If only they're not spreading such fake news maybe everybody is rich now. I know that some powerful institution or individual are behind all this. It could be possible with newbies in crypto too since they are targets of scams as they have limited ideas in cryptocurrency. I don't understand why they did that to the crypto community.

Well in the beginning, bitcoin really has been attached to "Scam" or "Dark Web" or "Illegal Activities". But unfortunately, this hasn't been the case and the only one that spreading this rumor are the governments, specially anti-bitcoin nation. However, in the last couple of months/years bitcoin has been the buzzword from Banking system to IT sector that one begins to wonder and asking the question if its true that crypto in particular in a scam coin. Bitcoin already proven otherwise, seeing the price goes to $4000++, it has gain trust and confidence from ordinary citizen to big time investors alike. So I can't see how can crypto or bitcoin becoming a scam.

I did not know that it was called a scam coin.  The time I know about bitcoin I thought that it was really a scam.  How can a currency you cannot hold can give you an income.  But never heard that it was called like that. 

Whatever it was called, the important thing is that it is not a scam.  We are able to have or secure our future because of it.

From the past that bitcoin has just little value and no one give a thought about it then many have been shock because of the sudden surge of it's price many did not expected that the Cryptocurrency that they though was a scam turned to be a valuable asset, I never blame them for not doubting it because I myself did doubt bitcoin at first because it is so good to be true that this kind of technology can simply change everything that you had believe in.

Yeah , I readed your article That is totally truth that happened with the bitcoin because when i started to use bitcoin in 2011 then it get banned by my country's government and after that 6-7 months they un-banned the bitcoin because they want figure our whether the bitcoin is better option for the earnings or not and how much impact will be on the economic development of the country .
But now about 3 months ago many people and experienced people said that it is scam and they will ban but due to the example of the JAPAN like countries our government also decided that they will not ban but regulate it for the limit use .
So here in my opinion people were only spreading the stupid news from social media and making money from popularity and views .
So here instead of the official announcement , we should not think -ve or +ve Because we are the users and if we will stop the ise of bitcoin then surely the value of the bitcoin will get down , so don't see at any unofficial announcement from any platform .
