That's a good initiative but i don't think there's something you can do about the negativity he is saying especially to a someone like him who is persistent of telling misinformation. Just accept the fact there are always haters and they are just insignificant numbers compare to the achievement Bitcoin reach in the past 5 years.
Just continue what you are doing, well, most people here to educate people, and stop debating to closed-minded people who always hates.

Op, you have an honourable mission there, as helping people avoid negative feelings and fakes is very important in contemporary world, in any topic area. I think a mistake people often make when dismantling someone's false opinions is being too emotional about it, making a lot of ad hominem statements (about the person rather than his/her words).
As for engaging with him directly, it's worth noting that it's much harder to change someone's opinion than people usually think because people hold on to their beliefs a lot. If he doesn't want to be open, there's nothing you can do. But you can help others listen less to him by making strong factual statements.

There are a lot of so-called experts who either have some personal agendas or work for someone whose goal is to create public change about someone or something. Such people can only be fought with hard facts, but not in a way that we think that they will change their minds, but that others see how wrong they are, and if we succeed, then no one will take such people seriously.
You can try to report his posts as content that is inaccurate/misleading, and as far as I can see Quora has a report system. I'm not familiar with how their system works, but if you're going to do something about it, then you better try to go in the direction of making it impossible for him to do what he's doing.
~snip~
Now, I'm getting more concerned because he is spreading negativity in most of the questions. What can I do? Is there anything legal step someone can take, any foundation working on such issue? Or how can I invite him for a debate? I can simply put him on ignore but I'm also concerned about people getting wrong message. That's why I'm thinking something different.

Even if he's a professor, it won't make him smarter to just talk about the evils of Bitcoin.
Even people like this will not be reminded despite the many facts that prove that Bitcoin is not as bad as he says.
There is no point in arguing when there is nothing to change. he will remain with his mindset and perspective on Bitcoin.
Don't regret not being able to remind him, there are still many other people who are more open-minded and can accept the reality of how Bitcoin works.
When he only answers once and then leaves the chat, it proves that he is just someone who is stupid and cannot accept any facts.
Even smart people look stupid when they believe something wrong and just sticks to their guns without accepting other people's explanations.

However, his negativity against Bitcoin is totally stupid. In fact, it seems he is biased when talking about Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency. He talks nonsense as if he doesn't know anything about Bitcoin. He is spreading wrong information about Bitcoin in quora. It's simple, when you don't know anything perfectly and you want to talk about that, you will only generate some stupid text.
I read all the posts you made on here and thought it would be a waste of time arguing with people who hate bitcoin and somehow they will try to defend their argument. To my knowledge there are no legal institutions dealing with crypto or bitcoin issues so it's a bit difficult to find one, especially for those of us who live in countries that aren't very friendly to bitcoin in particular. If you think this needs to be straightened out, write to the institution where he works and invite them to discuss this issue openly or it could be via radio channels in your country.But the problem is when your country doesn't legalize bitcoin as a commodity asset, it will be difficult for you to build public impact on this and also impossible to have a public debate that gets people talking about bitcoin because there are regulatory limits set by your government. Even if you try to force this to happen and then you will be in trouble with the laws in your area of residence.
Why don't you choose to ignore it? instead of always replying to his posts. it can actually get more people more interested in what he writes when there are more comments and viewers.
when you surf the internet, on any topic there will always be such a thing. You don't need to make it so serious that you might have trouble sleeping.
why not post on the opposite topic if you think the information he made up is wrong.
nowadays people will sort the information they read. because everyone knows that not everything on the internet is true or fake. I know you have good care.

I would usually say ignore those people since it's a waste of effort but I could see you're heavily invested in promoting bitcoin in your online community. I think the reason he doesn't engage you in a debate is that he doesn't see you as an equal yet. He may be looking down on you since he's an economic analyst. It seems like you are trying too hard to "chase" him to prove a point and I think that's probably not going to work. I say stop that and continue to build your reputation there and by that I mean keep opening topics to refute all the disinformation. I think he'll eventually engage you if you get more recognition from your online community.
Unfortunately, it happens that a person does not understand anything about the topic of the question. Therefore, when someone responds to his statement with criticism, he has nothing to say.
You can create a post on a social network and invite him to join the discussion. The more popular this post is, the more likely it is that he will respond

Let's accept the fact you can't be loved by everyone and not everyone will agree with your opinion ~snip~
Yes, I agree with you. But public opinion is built from pieces of puzzles, if that person builds a lot of puzzles then public awareness about bitcoin will be negative. Quora has a question and answer system and the quora algorithm will recommend the most read answers and get feedback. Maybe the OP should make an answer about bitcoin's positive value. I'm ready to support that answer with upvotes and comments
Indeed, not everyone has to agree with our opinion, but we can ensure that our opinion is enough to be considered, with logical reasons
Let's accept the fact you can't be loved by everyone and not everyone will agree with your opinion, if they view Bitcoin is scam, then let them pick their choice. If you want to fight with everyone who spreading misinformation about Bitcoin, good luck you will waste most of your time just to fight with a stupid people. Winning isn't about your opponent admit if he was wrong, but end a debate with a stupid person is also a win.
There are lots of people on quora. I've been active on quora for a long time but I never talk about bitcoin. Are you the only one fighting against that person's negative opinion? I think creating a new answer that has positive value about bitcoin can counter negative answers about bitcoin. I'm ready to support you, we can reply to each other's comments to influence public opinion
I don't know about your response though, if you call someone or their argument stupid, they would probably choose not to engage you then because it's going to useless, you've attacked the character and not the argument. But if you didn't do that then I should thank you first that you're an active commenter in Quora, pretty awesome that someone is actively fighting misinformation there. I think that you don't need to engage the professor on a debate, it's enough that you point out the wrong things in his argument, you stating the information is enough so the people who reads his statement will have no problem choosing which side.
Those are the people who are deliberately anti-bitcoin, and they will ignore all the people who are against them, and there is nothing you can do about those people but ignore him. Bitcoin is like everything else in this world, it is not perfect enough to please everyone, there will always be lovers and haters even if the government recognizes it. So let's not waste time with those types of people and should focus on people who have a positive view of bitcoin like us.
The problem is he doesn't reply when someone wants to talk against his stupid opinion. He simply put answer on quora and then leave. I have replied in many of his answer in quora but never got a reply.
Now, I'm getting more concerned because he is spreading negativity in most of the questions. What can I do? Is there anything legal step someone can take, any foundation working on such issue?

Just do what he is doing. Spread your idea and ignore opinion that against you such as his post. We don’t need to defend all attack because they will just get enough attention with their comment.
Haters will always gonna hate. It’s nonsense to debate with them because they will just find a way to twist your reasoning for their advantage or simply they will just ignore you. We are not required to reply all the opinions that opposite to us.
You don't have to.
If you are getting affected by it then you will be the loser in the end. Do you want to be a loser? If you answer is "no" then ignore the FUD. "Yes" > have fun staying poor. If you re thinking about the other investors, again, you shouldn't because the same logic also applies to their situation. If they get affected by the FUD then they will lose money. I don't know about you but I don't give a damn if other people make or lose money. Who cares?

I learnt from a wise man that don't try to talk to people who aren't ready to give you listening ears, and ever since I have been living that way I have been very happy with myself.
One point you must understand is that there would always be people who would be against Bitcoin and crypto-currency in general regardless of what you have to tell them, Infact if the academic qualifications you say he has is truth then he isn't stupid and probably has done his research and there is nothing you have to tell him that he hasn't already researched about, but he has chosen to be stubborn and adamant about his personal views on Bitcoin, if he doesn't give you a platform to interact with him then let it be.

It is useless to prove anything to such people. Even if he is 100 percent wrong, he will never accept it. You argue against what he says, and that's enough. And people, if they are not stupid, will draw their own conclusions from your responses to his posts. And who knows, maybe this professor is paid to develop an aversion to bitcoin.
I tried to engage with him in his responses. I'm ready to have a debate with him. The problem is he doesn't reply when someone wants to talk against his stupid opinion. He simply put answer on quora and then leave.
So all you accomplish is bumping up his threads and giving him more visibility. You even bring his name and biography here, which increases his recognition, which gives strength to his words, whether true or false. some people have built their entire brand, and thus great fortunes, on misinterpreting reality and spaming their bullshit all around internet and every interaction with them only increases their view number.
some are even known to be perfect anti-signals (e.g. peter shiff, every time he writes "I told you bitcoin is worthless, you didn't want to listen, now you have it" exacly when bitcoin hits the dip and starts a strong rebound and trend reversal).
I don't think it makes sense to fight them. It's better to focus on building than on war with a single hammer hitting the wall.
I'm an active participant in quora. Mostly I'm engaged in cryptocurrency discussion in Bengali. My purpose is simply to fight against FUD, misinformation. I have been doing this actively for long time now. I have engaged in debates in quora.
For the last few years, I'm trying to have a debate about Bitcoin with Mohammad Ghoni who was a Professor in a private university of Bangladesh. He claims himself as a economic analyst.
However, his negativity against Bitcoin is totally stupid. In fact, it seems he is biased when talking about Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency. He talks nonsense as if he doesn't know anything about Bitcoin. He is spreading wrong information about Bitcoin in quora.

Just ignore him and don't even think that his misinformation could cause anything to Bitcoin community. He's not alone in doing such things and there are many skeptical people like him who are totally against Bitcoin and concept of crypto-currencies. These people will always try to spread wrong information about Bitcoin because they hate it deeply. The only thing we can do is to ignore all those people who do that, debating with a fool isn't a good choice because such people don't listen to others. They only consider their own opinion regarding as an eternal truth.
You're just wasting your stamina and precious time on a naive person, and I suggest you to just ignore him. You should stop replying to his non-sense answers because if someone is scared from truth then he will never reply to the one who speaks truth. The guy is a liar and he is promoting misinformation intentionally, and that's why he won't listen to anyone. Just block him if the blocking option exists on Quora and never ever read his answers even from another account.
I would suggest ignoring him
But since you concerned about it
You can just continue what you doing
Who wants to listen to you or are open minded would listen
You can even quote words of popular figure since most people are biased towards the words of people in respectable position
Even if you get a debate doesn't guarantee he would change his stance
Its all about belief
Its not something that can be changed with words
FUD's doesn't only exist in cryptocurrency
Its everywhere
As the saying goes "many are called few are chosen"
Everybody can't be saved
