In my opinion,
We do not need to explain to people who think bitcoin is a scam.You just have to buy this buy it from work in bitcoin.
And those who consider bitcoin scam.Will feel jealous of seeing you succeed.

In my side,really hard to explain people who think bitcoin is a scam.Doesn't need to show them what the bitcoin purposes and what have bitcoin given to us.We need to work and work from bitcoin,and doesn't have care about others what the profit do we have monthly.

It was in the past. Now, absolutely we will have way to explain people who think Bitcoin is a scam. In my country, there is a popular university has accepted their students use Bitcoin to pay school fee. There are also some "ATM Bitcoins" are being built in my coutry.

Don't trust the mass media. It doesn't serve most people. I suggest you go to professional exchange forums and communities to learn about bitcoin. It's more convincing than the TV station.

Only yesterday's television shows here in our country could be a bad thing when you get involved with bitcoins. I'm so frustrated that the tv host has shown that bitcoins are a scam. Because of the fact that he has made many people will definitely not try to enter the bitcoins yet. And because that would be like an investment scheme that looks at bitcoins. That's not really true because bitcoins used to do bad things. And what I was most disappointed was that this tv host did not say the good side of bitcoins.

Now my question is how we can explain to those who watch tv that bitcoins is not a pyramiding scheme.

Scam is always present not only in bitcoins but also on other form of money or currency. I think what you mean is to not generalized bitcoins and its users by just a single or two cases of scam that were revealed or announced. TV is really a powerful media for spreading this kind of news or issues so I think they should give proper choice of words to avoid misunderstanding.

I think I know what country you came from. And I did watched the part where bitcoin was negatively introduced to people.

I think they said it right mate. Bitcoin was used to scam people. Not the bitcoin itself. We all know that all hyip investment scheme are all ponzi scheme. They were all scam. They just give awareness to all people who were trying to enter an investment.

But on the contrary, they did brainwashed the people. People will think that bitcoin is a scam. But who cares anyway ? As long as we all know what bitcoin really is. It's their loss not us.

We cannot prevent other people in using bitcoin in illegal activities or even sometimes scam this main reason why some people don't believe in bitcoin especially does who experience being scam. What we can do is to explain to people to be wise and study first before investing into something. Bitcoin is a good venture but since it is not regulated it can be use in illegal things this must be cleared to those new in crypto currency.

Society is always afraid of new things. Some people can't understand how does Bitcoin work and that's why they are against it. Most of the rich are against Bitcoin because they haven't invested in it when it was still relatively cheap. If they did invest then the history of Bitcoin would be different. Possibly, more people could have come here. We have to try to do our best to convince other people that Bitcoin isn't a scam. Not every rich person is against Bitcoin, Bill Gates is a good example.

we can start by giving information about what bitcoin is and why bitcoin can not be duplicated, so can bitcoin in say virtual currency because if it can be duplicated or in fake it will make the currency fall. but what happens to bitcoin the longer the price increases and indeed this bitcoin is a digital currency that is impossible to fake because it is in the know the number of scattered in the world and has never been there at all who can hijack this currency so it is still quite safe both for transactions and investments so bitcoin is something that is real not a scam

you don't have to explain anything to anyone. the community is educated enough and those skeptical fools will always exist and I doubt they will even cause the slightest dent.

I saw it in the TV yesterday about that and I hate it when those word appear in his mouth. Let's just say to them and prove they are wrong by showing them our transactions in bit coin and also the results of that said transaction

Your English is lousy, which leads me to believe that you're in a country that I don't give a shit about--and that includes your television programming. Not that you mumbled enough details to give us any idea what this program said anyway.

Who cares what the great unwashed masses think? Your country probably has a large proportion of those, so don't waste your precious time trying to communicate the greatness of bitcoin. You'd be ineffective anyway, methinks. Grab what crypto you can, and when these booger eaters finally catch up, you'll be balling.

That guy and the "unwashed masses" are future customer for your sponsor Pundi. You do not represent them well.

This is super important in the context of the commentary that is currently circulating, and will continue to intensify. The path of least resistance to BTC continuing to rise, is to leverage main stream populations to become involved at scale. The only way that happens is if our side of the debate is better at presenting our case. The fact is this is technology that most people do not understand. Starting with the basics and fundamentals is critical because without that base of knowledge it is hard for non believers to actually understand what we are talking about. I think we lack enough people to articulate a coherent argument to this question.

Well it happens, considering the fact that bitcoin is not yet legalized in the whole world yet so we should not be surprised that some locals will try to bring its name down. Television is for those who believe easily so if you are going to believe that bitcoin is a scam without any evidence, then you are just like those people who go with the flow. Also, you should just let them deny bitcoin, you don't need to problem them anymore and just keep on earning.

If I try to explain bitcoin as virtual currency only, most of my friends will be skeptic.
Also, it's to difficult to explain technology behind bitcoin.
So, I usually first explain that bitcoin is widely used, that many merchants accept bitcoin, that we already have bitcoin debit cards, bitcoin ATM etc.
When they become interested, I explain some technical things.

You don't need to explain it with them anymore. It would just be a waste of time. If they don't believe that bitcoin is real, then let them be. If the think bitcoin is a scam, then let the be. You will still earn from bitcoin no matter what, it wouldn't even affect you profit in any ways possible. Media is meant to spread news regardless if it is truth or not. You can't expect them to promote bitcoin most specially if it's not yet legalized in your country.

To explain bitcoin, and about its legitimacy is possible. It requires a better explanation to be given describing the conversion possible. Still lots of scam investments run around, which gives an negative thinking for the users who have been getting into bitcoin for the first time. Just because of these scam investments people think Bitcoin as a scam.

This thoughts also come to my mind the moment I watched the television on their news regarding bitcoin and the scam that a person had experience from it. I initially thought that this will have a great impact in the bitcoin community, bit then I remember that it does not only exist in our country but in the whole world who have actually experience that it is not a scam for as long as we know where to find investment we can have and proper way to join in bitcoin. I think we can only prove to all those who will not believe that scam only happens to people who doesn't know what it actually is and make them see how it benefitted all of us.

I had a few people very close to me who were initially thinking that Bitcoin was some sort of a scheme like a year or so ago. No matter how much explaining I did, they wouldn't believe that it wasn't a scheme.

They made it look like I was talking nonsense because for them, something that isn't issued and controlled by the government, is a scheme by default. It was impossible for them to accept/understand the decentralization aspect.

I am not wasting any time with such people because they are too stubborn and ignorant to look further than their own deluded logic. If you want to believe that Bitcoin is a scheme, then fine, continue being a slave of the system.

Maybe what OP's trying to say is the news here in our country, Philippines, which a TV station says that bitcoin is just a scam just because of the bitcoin scammers. I don't know how they came up to that conclusion just because there are scammers using the name of bitcoin, pretty narrow minded people. Anyways, we don't have to explain to them that bitcoin is legit, let them believe what they just said to the public.

It would be better if you are just going to be quite and keep on earning bitcoin, that way, you could show them the results of bitcoin, for example , buy a sports car which can't be bought by a simple citizen.

Bitcoin is not a scam and it is really existed and having a high value in the comparison of other currencies. Many people are successful because of bitcoin so we can’t say that this is a scam it is most popular and reliable currency in the world. I strongly believe in bitcoin and I will make myself successful through investment in bitcoin in the few coming days I am going to invest my 80% of money.
