Yes, like that expression, 'guns don't kill people, people are killing people', we can use it for lots of things in the world and it also can be applied on Bitcoin too. We can not do much about that issue, maybe we could affect on it on small local level but people that have been tricked once is hard to change their opinion. Those who didn't have negative experience with Bitcoin have to research good everything that they want to know and that will lower chances of scams or similar unpleasant things.
That is why I believe in regulation somewhat in the cryptocurrency sphere. It will reduce the volatility and curb these pump and dump syndicate. when price is steady, no one will be scared of a massive dump or pump anymore. That is when the real adoption will spread.
no one can force a person to use bitcoin, everyone chooses their method of payment and in what currency to store the money, of course people are afraid to invest their money, as there are many scammers who cheat and then leave the market with the money. and people are left with nothing. as is the case with MMM
The scams will not hold people back when the bitcoin ETF is eventually approved or if a killer app is eventually found that will drive adoption crazily.we need a strong stimulus
well you right about the attitude people have over bitcoin for now due to losses they have made from scams. i think we need to build a stronger community and eductate people more on bitcoin. then stronger secuirty should be put in place and ICOs carefully observed so one doesnt fall to these scammers looking for peoples money to run off with
To make people accept bitcoin as a means of payment can only be done when there is proper education in what it is, why it exist and why they should adopt it. You can't force it on people but they will come for it when they are really aware that it is not scam or some get rich quick project.
By people, it would have been better if you had specified them. Does it refer to those who are unaware of the market or not is still unclear. You just need to show them the usefulness of BTC, and hopefully they'll be convinced.
It is very hard to get people to accept Bitcoin now especially with the Bitcoin price falling combined with some individuals who are out to scam people, but again u don't need to force anyone you just need to explain Bitcoin concept and potentials the desire to invest in Bitcoin will come in naturally.
You can't and shouldn't try to force people into accepting bitcoin-however you could and should show them the good points and positive aspects of bitcoin and by so doing convince them of bitcoins usefulness and value both as an investment and more especially the concept and tech behind it.
We can get people to see bitcoin as a currency if e start using it to transact business- I mean use it for buying and selling.
We can make people to accept bitcoin by telling them what youve been experiencing in joining bitcoin. Tell them that you really earn money by your own. And dont make scared about scam, because if you know what to do, we can protect our self in the scammers and we can be aware.
with the way at which bitcoin is going, it might likely be accepted as a currency even it doesn't come now it will surely come up in the nearest future. bitcoin is really make head ways in the money market economies of the world are accepting it.
This is not the right information that people are not interested to adopt bitcoin for scams. Scams have given a negative impact on the overall market and people are worried about safety but people are confident about bitcoin and many countries are adopting this.
Yes many people don't know the true value of bitcoin. Scam projects and bad rumors make it more unappealing among the people. We need to spread the true functionalities and benefits of it and people’s success towards it. This will help them to accept it.
You just need to set a good example in practice.More positive experience.And of course to increase the number of goods and services paid in bitcoins.Not necessarily even expensive.And if very expensive, then be sure to bitcoin))) People will see a positive trend in bitcoin trading and also want to try.We need more advertising and informative videos on social networks.Where permitted of course)And where prohibited,to collect petitions,to get everything.And as much as possible, legal transactions.)
First of all governments need to accept bitcoin then people will automatically accept bitcoin as a currency but it’s not a easy task to promote bitcoin because most of the governments are against bitcoin.
People will accept bitcoin when there will become no rumors about bitcoin and also government make it legal and everywhere got the acceptance of it.
I think we should inform about the technology. not about the profit at place. then we must tell people what is the importance being early members of this community of crypto. we are note telling a lie. blockchain will be key factor in the future digital society. BTC will be the digital currency in that society. people will get the liberation through this new system.
A lot of scams have caused the fear of theft among people and they are regarding bitcoin and its trading a scam. People seem to be reluctant towards investing in bitcoins. How do we ensure them that bitcoins are not scam but the people are. 
This is my experience.I have been difficult to pass through the cryptocurrency world. In fact, I spent a lot of time only analyzing the cryptocurrency price that contained my investment funds. Then my friend asked me;
"What you are doing, leave the cryptocurrency world and find another job, no one guarantees bitcoin, and you might be cheated someday"
That's how my friend asked, and I didn't answer it.
But a few years passed, I told him that cryptocurrency is not fraud. I showed him the results of my investment in bitcoin. And now he believes that bitcoin is not fraud.
The conclusion is; Show the results you get from bitcoin (cryptoccurrency) maybe this method can convince them. I have tried it and the result is that my friend now believes in bitcoin.
Remember real results, examples such as vehicles, homes, businesses, and the like.

Only time will be able to settle this issue once and for all. Look, everyone loves the American dollar (Continental euro, Chinese yuan, Japanese yen, etc), though you don't see people shouting at street corners that all these currencies are used for every illegal activity that has ever existed since the dawn of civilization (drugs, blackmail, bribery, slavery, child labor, human trafficking, just to name a few). So, essentially, it is a matter of awareness but you can't preach or ensure awareness as it can only come on its own in due course. It should be a natural process as only then the results will be authentic and long-term.
I think giving them the right information about bitcoins is a good start, give them the pros and cons of bitcoins. It's really up to them to figure which side they are, bitcoins is mostly a generous and vigorous currency. It's open to all yet there are still people who exploit it's renown stature and popularity thus scams are always popping up somewhere, giving bitcoin somewhat of a bad repute.
If Bitcoin has genuine value, preaching or raising awareness won't help much. If it doesn't, it won't help at all. Bitcoin is a currency, and as such its existence and features are beyond moral or ethical judgment and valuation. For example, you can't say that a currency is immoral or wicked. It simply doesn't belong to a category of things which allows such verdicts.
