yesterday i told my father about bitcoin he was shocked to hear about bitcoin.
His first response was that i was out of my mind that i was making all this up.
But after showing him about bitcoin and telling him that he could start working in his spare time on BITCOINTALK...

He actually told me to register a account on his name at bitcointalk...

ROTFL hahahaha Cheesy

i told to my father to actually my father and my mother about bitcoin and guess what they've said?
"be carefull son we dont want you to live in a jail you are so young:'( "
oh dad cmon Cheesy

I wonder in what way did you describe bitcoin to them to make them think you will end up in jail for using it :/
It's the best practice to show both good and the bad sides of the technology, and not just shock news like silkroad, mt.gox, scam ponzis and such.
I always talk about bitcoin to newcomers with full honesty, that way they can decide for themselves are they interested or not.

cheers

actually i did not say anything about negative rumor of the bitcoin,my parents just watch on media and our goverments rule about bitcoin therefore they suggest me to stayed away from bitcoin
but i you know i still convinence them that bitcoin is future

I did recommend Bitcoin to some friends, but when i told them about Monero too, they said why do we need Bitcoin then?

None of them wanted their financial life plastered on the Internet or to be track-able by anyone with access to Internet

Haha if your friends are already rich, he's like my friend he is rich, he considers, for what bitcoin ? Then I think, what I was wrong in recommending haha

I recommend it to almost all people in my circle. The sad part is none of them use it regularly. I explained hundreds of people about Bitcoin but most of them are ignorant. Some of them care my thoughts and tried to understand the dynamics but are still afraid to use it. I don't know how can I convince them to use it anymore. I guess they will learn the hard way when banking system fails and they couldn't cashout their money in bank.

I suggest them or try to give them some knowledge about bitcoin they are simply not interested. They simply say why should invest in such a product which we are not aware about.

I did recommended them few times, but every time they give me vague answer and doesn't show their willingness to invest in digital currency as they believe that it won't survive for a long time and their would loose their money by investing it in bitcoins. Grin

Then you should recommend Bitcoin forum to them where they can learn more about the bitcoin and also tell them some easy ways to earn Bitcoin in their free time.
I think that this will generate some interest in them for Bitcoin and other altcoins.

My friends knows about bitcoin forum, they show their interest in the beginning but when they come to know that for posting they need to buy accounts and invest their money in it, they divert themselves to something else and don't want to invest their money in it.

Hmm that's the main problem.
I Also buy accounts with rank higher than me and get my money back in less than a month and then go for another account with a rank more higher than the previous one.
If we build our own strategy then it will not be difficult to get much Bitcoins in much less time.

It's hard to convince people nowadays about something that they cant hold like digital currency.
When I showed them my BTC wallet, they cant believe that it can be converted to our local currency.
When I showed them that It can be converted in a matter of minutes, they say its a scam... and I say what???
Maybe for one to have a better understanding with bitcoin you have to have be open minded and remove all the scammy things you can think of and understand wheres its from and how to it can be used for our daily lives.

I got introdiced to Bitcoin by a friend who was a cryptographer at the time, got hooked immediately after he explained it to me.

After that, I've shared Bitcoin with about 5 other friends and 3 of them are still using it today, at least those 3 I am sure of.

One thing I have noticed though, is that a lot of the people using Bitcoin are usually interested or work in IT.
And so were the friend who've I shared Bitcoin with.

Due to crisis that spreads far beyond Greece and the European Union, talk to my friends and colleagues about a new currency that has immense potential so that most scare due to its high price and cost.

You mean your friends are scared of Bitcoin because it costs 300 dollars? Whats the point? Im amazed some people still don't get even if 1 Bitcoin was 1 billion dollars it would still be the same, money coming in in fiat -> money coming out in Bitcoin. You don't need to buy entire Bitcoins..

In Brazil the minimum wage and a rental house 220usd and about 180usd, adds the goods needed to live and do the math. .. Unfortunately most only receives this value and makes magic, making it hard to save the more you try to invest something.

why you are renting a house? if you can live with your parents? less hasle because you can save some of your salary and you can share your bills with your parents. And if you now can save you can invest your monye or do what you want to do with your money but used it correctly and don't spend all of it .
