Topic: How many people are asking you about Bitcoin now? - page 97. (Read 92309 times)
I don't think anybody asks about it. But I ask people if they have heard of bitcoin. Back in 2013 nobody did. Now everybody has heard of it but has not used it or is not sure what it is. This explains the massive upsurge in crypto valuations.
I´ve been asked by two friends. One asked me about the price increase, he asked me about Bitcoin and for cryptocoins and he was interested, especially when I explained him some of the possibilities of bitcoin like use it to send money to other people in other parts of the world or to pay in stores when the adoption of bitcoin is majority. The other person who asked me did it by ramsonware attack, he asked me why they required to be paid in bitcoin.
What are the odds, some of my friends started asking me about Bitcoin and wanted to know more about it even asked for some links to a site that could explain every thing properly.
Now they are waking up, all it needed was a price increase and they never cared about Bitcoin itself, I bet the same people are the ones getting burnt with altcoins after they dumped huge on them. because they only think about the fiat value.
However I still do believe that it's not too late yet and people can still benefit even with this prices.

Like the above posters, I haven't noticed anything when the price started getting close to $2000. People don't realize what bitcoin is until you talk in their terms.
Try telling someone "if you bought bitcoins for $1000 3 years ago, you'd have $4000 now" and you got his full attention. It's just greed at work, I have met just one person in real life that was honestly interested in how it worked, the rest thought it to be a quick way to make money, or a scam.

Nobody asks me too about Bitcoin, many people don't know about Crypto-Currency where I live, maybe nobody knows about it here, so they don't have any idea about it and its price that hitted $2000. Just sometimes in near cities I can hear some people talking about Bitcoins, but they don't use it, just speculate a bit about the subject and I stay quiet, just listening.
Nobody is asking me, but I had a conversation about ransomware the other day and they seemed to had a general idea about Bitcoin and that it was used by hackers.
My family isn't following the price of Bitcoin, so they don't really care. It's the same with stocks. A company could go up by 200% in a week and we wouldn't know or care, because we haven't invested anything.

My mother and my brother now that I started to profit on the internet with Bitcoin and that it is getting media attention because of the recent ransomware. Other than that, I've never heard a single person talking about Bitcoin on the street, even though some friends of mine know the basics of Bitcoin and recognize the word when I talk about it. I think it's too early for Bitcoin to become mainstream here in Brazil.
I've been talking about Bitcoin to family, friends and random people for years and nobody seemed to mind when BTC was under $1000. But now that Bitcoin has reached $2000, people are starting to realize that owning 1 BTC is beginning to be out of reach for the average person.
I've had more people ask me about Bitcoin lately and wanted help buying Bitcoins. What about you?
