mate, personal advice !! please bother yourself for your own investments , if these people that you are mentioning are someone that closes to you? then they will openhanded accept your luring to them.
but if they are just random people around you? better listen to the majority of posts here and never bother yourself .
remember that whatever we wanted for them? still they will have own stand and action.

I don't think it's a good idea to urge someone to buy bitcoin, because you don't know if they'll be able to hold it for a long time and what if they can't. What if the person spends all of his money on bitcoin? As convincing someone to buy bitcoin is not something I recommend, I recommend that you inform the person in question about bitcoin and how it works. If something goes wrong after you encourage him to do so, you won't be in big danger.

Although within this community Bitcoin is practically the only currency in which everyone believes, just look around a bit and we will find thousands of people who think otherwise.
At this point I wonder, what reasons should we give these people to make them realise that Bitcoin is a right choice? The first argument that comes to mind to convince a person who is sceptical about Bitcoin, is first of all that with Bitcoin you no longer need to delegate the custody of your money to a third party (banks, mutual funds, etc.): you are the master and you hold them. What else would you add?
I don't really like convincing someone about what I have or something I admire. because if it's like that it looks like you are forced to participate in investing in bitcoin, and I have avoided things like that until now.
bitcoin does not need to be proclaimed like that, without any promotion on purpose bitcoin will still be widespread.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
Tell them that Bitcoin is censorship resistant and decentralised. It's total supply is limited and hence it has a deflationary growth of price making it a good long term investment. Show how it is sent and emphasize on the ease of sending and the lack of paperwork or searching names for that.

Even then you will not be able to recruit every person into bitcoin and you should not try that either. You will end up being blamed for their losses and they will hunt you down. If they show interest on their own, only then guide them.

instead of convincing them to buy bitcoin , better to lure them to like and enter this forum because this has more than to offer them , example : if you will let them learn here? then you are safe from everything to explain because they will gather so much information from here.
Just tell him about the pros of the Bitcoin ecosystem and how we can use it. I think the best ad for Bitcoin is just its technology. And if the person still doesn't believe in it, then he is missing out A LOT.

So I don't recommend trying to prove something to these people. They will understand it themselves. But it would already be too late to buy.
it is helping , but there is no need to get involve in blaming once they did not succeed , let them learn and have a lesson to understand.

If you try to convince someone of anything, it will already look very suspicious. Just keep enjoying all the benefits of bitcoin and over time people themselves will ask for help with any issues related to cryptocurrency, this will be a clear sign that they are ready to learn something new, this will be the best option.

I dont think that convincing someone to buy Bitcoin or do something else is a good idea. I think person should not be forced to do something. He must come to conclusion of buying Bitcoin himself. If a person convince someone to buy, then that person must take full responsibility for possible negative outcome.

However, if OP really wants to convince a skeptical person, then he must turn himself into devil and play on human sins. Just use two of them, greed and envy, while trying to convince and you will succeed. Talk more about "missed opportunity", give examples of easy money and it will be enough.

The appropriate addition of words to tell skeptics in my opinion is "Look at me, I have been successful thanks to bitcoin , I can be financially independent with bitcoin and no other party manages my assets", Doesn't that sound more interesting to the ears of people who skeptical?. My point is you don't need to work hard to convince those who are skeptical about bitcoin at all costs because the first thing they see is your condition as proof of their assessment of what you do, they will only listen to you if you are already financially successful, I'm sure they will listen to you when you are at that point.

Why does anyone need to confuse people to buy Bitcoin? Even if they manage to buy Bitcoin they will lose interest as time goes on because they don't even know what Bitcoin is all about, and such people will dump in a very short period of time. New investors need to develop an interest in Bitcoin themselves first before they will be capable of accumulating Bitcoin and decide to hold for a long period, those confused won't be able to do the same because they never had any interest in Bitcoin, they where confused.

Yiu don't need to confuse anyone to invest on Bitcoin, tell them to read about Bitcoin and tell them the advantage of Bitcoin, if they develop interest, fine, if they don't, you lose nothing.

“FRX: Ferocious Alpha”
we have all different belief and perspective same as the outview in everything that connect with our money so why need to gather them inside bitcoin when they have already established their position in other coins?
and besides we have no rights in doing such , what we only have to do is let them see the advantage of bitcoin but not to force them in loving this coin.

I would not convince anyone to invest in btc or any other coin but on the other hand would tell them or educate them about the technology behind bitcoin or why it would be in demand in future.Rest the investment decision lies with them soley whether they want to invest or not because trading should be done with your own research not under anyone's influence.

Honestly, I really do not think that it is anyone's obligation to convince others to invest in bitcoins or any other type of crypto currency out there. Not unless it is a person that one really cares about or is family. Now, the only way to convince people that are as how you described them is to show results or the good things you have gotten from bitcoin. By doing this, you will manage to get through their mental barrier and make them at least a bit curious. After that, you can then proceed explaining little by little all the technical or more complicated things. That's how I convinced a few friends.

Why you must convince someone to buy Bitcoin? it's their own money, so their own choice, you can't force them to follow your suggestion. They would be happy if you have convince them and you give free Bitcoin or money to them.

Bitcoin isn't the only one choice to grow your wealth, there are many assets out there that they can choose to invest. Talking about decentralization, if they're not care and fine with centralization, why you should change their mindset?

Before you convince a sceptical person into buying bitcoin, you must first ask the person of their financial goals and find out how much risk they are willing to manage. You have the moral responsibility to tell your friend at as much bitcoin may have the possibility for significant gains over the long term and may be able to protect one's wealth from depreciation by serving as a hedge against inflation, it comes with a lot of risk and should never be taken with kids gloves.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope
Not sure about the idea of convincing them, I thought it would be a waste.
Even satoshi in his initial journey only "served" a Hal Finney who started to have faith thanks to only reading bitcoin WP without further explanation. That means, it is easier for someone to believe in bitcoin if he is open to a different point of view and sufficient knowledge.

Why do you have to do that?

You don't need to force anyone to accept bitcoin adoption or invest in bitcoin.

You really don't need to convince anyone to accept bitcoin ...

Just don't.

Bitcoin isn’t a new product on the shelf we have advertise.

Why would you want to convince skeptics?

I am going to go a bit against it and say why bother.

I wouldn't convince anyone about Bitcoin

I won't do that, there's no reason for me to force or beg someone to invest in bitcoin,  own.

With these answers it is not clear enough for you, OP? Or do you need a couple dozen more answers.

Not just with Bitcoin, in money matters let people be wrong for themselves. Giving advice or trying to convince someone usually results in if it goes right they won't even thank you and if it goes wrong they will throw it in your face.

Better if you lock the thread.

Vaccinized.. immunity level is full.
I won't do that, there's no reason for me to force or beg someone to invest in bitcoin, it's not in my favor, and they'll even blame me if they lose. You shouldn't try to give someone advice to buy something they don't like, it's not a good idea.

I know you mean to help people because bitcoin really is a once in a lifetime opportunity, if we miss it, we will have to wait a long time for another chance. But people won't think so, what they think is that you are trying to scam them. If they are passionate about bitcoin, instead of explaining it to them, give them the necessary materials to study on their own.

I wouldn't convince anyone about Bitcoin i mean let them be realize the worth of Bitcoin ill just introduce it to them and the uses of it and let them be decide if they want it or not because i dont see any reasons why should i convince them to jump into Bitcoin and also convincing some one to buy bitcoin leads to person blaming you that they lost their money because it fluctuates.  I would just introduce it than to convince them

Some of you guys like to talk about the investment side to convince others, with a speech like: bitcoin is good to invest in.
But you're having a misconception about the purpose to create Bitcoin.

The currency hasn't be created to make you "rich" overnight. It was not launched as a quick rich scheme, and for exemple I challenge you to find me a single post from Satoshi saying something like: buy bitcoin! you will be rich!

Investing in Bitcoin and make money.
I can do the same with the traditionnal currencies. I can trade USD, EUR, CHF, GBP... and also make money.
So what?

Huge profits you may argue.
There are traditionnal assets performing higher than Bitcoin.
So what?

No 3rd parties to store your money.
I can do that with gold as well.
So what?

Safe haven.
Seriously? Ask to people who bought BTC at $60,000 what they think about it.
The Swiss franc, bonds, or gold, yes, but Bitcoin?
Even investing in a safe haven may be not a good choice when the stock markets are rising

What about to use Bitcoin for what it was supposed to be? A payment mean and an alternative currency? Hence the name Altcoin.
You should rather use this argument if you want to convince someone, and if the person is not convinced, it's perhaps because he has no needs
