A few days ago I invited two of my friends who have small online business to try BitCoin, he asked me a series of questions, after answering all of it and show the advantage of using the Bitcoine he told me it was better to continue to use PayPal as payment method.

Maybe your friend think that there are more paypal users than bitcoins, so for your online business, it sounds fair when he said paypal is a better method. I think you need to explain that bitcoin is not only for payment, but it also can be used in investment too.

Bitcoin is most simple than paypal and your money would never limited like paypal did,and one more thing there is no refund or dispute options

to people who say our friends didn't listen:
i think the way to introduce bitcoin to somebody is to show them how it works and get them started with some small initial amount of bitcoin.
what i did to hook my friends up with bitcoin was that i created a wallet for them on their mobile and sent them some bitcoin just to get them started. just enough to be able to buy something like a pizza is enough.
then you have to show them how and where they can spend these bitcoins.
then you have a friend hooked up...

None. Bitcoin is, imo, at the stage where it hasn't gotten public acceptance yet. I won't be recommending a currency that's so foreign to them and a bit hard to grasp at first glance.

If you feel hesitate, I think you don't need recommend bitcoin to them, but just show them what you got from it, the advantages and the profit that you have earned from bitcoin investment. I guess they will be interested with it.

Because bitcoin is easy to use rather than paypal. Some said that paypal can scam people, they can cancel about your transaction suddenly although I

never get that problem. To some people that claim they are gambler is great to use bitcoin rather than paypal

You must actually spread this thing to other because it hasnt gotten public yet. We need to let everyone know that bitcoin is a profitable and easy to

use. Later if bitcoin get big enough people sure will use it so for now it will take some patient to explain it to them

I haven't recommended any of my friend and I really don't want to recommend them as it requires an initial investment and if they invest and loose their money they will start blaming me without knowing the reality so it is better not to recommend them and want to enjoy bitcoin without disclosing it to others Grin

I'll continue to tell my friends and family the positive things Bitcoin can and will do.
Until we get some "real" adoption, Bitcoin will remain on the fringe or outside of the general population.

Like most people my friends didn't take to it I suppose you have to be a bit tech savy to see potential and from where it come from to were it is now when you start talking about wallets and trading in other crypto currencies it tends to baffle. All my wife knows that the miners in the garage are great for drying clothes and the father in law moans that they play up with his car radio when he pulls up to my house.

Bitcoin isn't a bubble. It's the pin!

I have recommended bitcoin to many people. Most of them took a liking to it and I believe most of the ones that liked it, actually got some BTC for themselves. For most of the people I showed bitcoin to, I also told them some good faucets to get them started. But the main reason some people didn't take a liking to Bitcoin when i told them about it, is because they thought it was a scam of some sort or Bitcoin itself was owned by one person or company.

I've told a couple of my friends about bitcoin in the past while on a night out but their eyes glazed over and started yawning. They're not interested in computers or tech or anything like that. Since then I haven't bothered mentioning it to them or anyone else, its my little secret interest and hobby that no-one else needs to know about Cheesy

I talked to my friends about bitcoin, but I have not recommended anyone to buy , that is their decision , there is always a possibility ' of losing money ... about 30% of them have downloaded a mobile wallet where i sent few cents to show him how BTC work

Yep they are broke to buy, and lazy to earn bitcoin.

Typical lazy mentality Cheesy

Lazy to earn bitcoin and lazy to make an investment. Every one wants to earn profits without making any investment. My friends showed their interest in bitcoin but when they came to know that it requires initial investment. Every one just turned up.

Yeah all of mine are the same. It's just generally awkward to talk about stuff like this. I would rather keep it to myself and reap the benefits later on.
I think to get Bitcoin you need to have an at least small context of what fiat is and what role BTC plays, im just not good enough to explain this to people that have 0 notions on the subject.
