Topic: ? How To Respond To Someone Who Is Anti Bitcoin ? - page 3. (Read 3583 times)
I choose not to argue with people who are arrogant and not willing to listen or debate on a topic. If they are just being negative about bitcoins, there could be ways to deal with them and unless bitcoins aren't banned in your country, you can still tell the ones who are anti-bitcoins that the currency is yet not ILLEGAL. It may be misused just like other currencies and people exist who exploit everything that has no trace eg: bitcoins and because of them, the currency is blamed.
No need to response, people have their own choices. It is perfectly normal different people have different view of Bitcoin, including hater and skepticals. Let is be, you know.
The best way to 'defend' bitcoin in times when you have to talk to people about it is to be quite knowledgeable about BTC yourself.
If people will throw at you some stupid arguments like, for example: bitcoin is a Ponzi - you have to know how Ponzi scheme works, explain difference, between Ponzi and Bitcoin's network etc.
Usually people who are anti bitcoin, have no idea what they are talking about. They repeat headlines of stupid media coverage heard somewhere.
Any logical arguments presented with confidence and logic is usually end of discussion.

i think you should just say them that the fiat is actually worthless and they will be broke soon
That is false and would probably make you lose the argument.
It is no different from blanket statements like "Bitcoin is only used by drug dealers"

Made a thread and a poll on this. Feel free to post your results/efforts and how that all went over.
Anyway in the thread below you can see how I approach this now. (Cheerleader that I was for BTC in 2013 at over 1100 usd)
Now that the price is surging. Folk are coming out of the woodwork again to try to knock it down ..alas..
anyway the thread is below (feel free to take the poll also)

Anyway will be interesting to see the poll results and how many folk have matched my experiences on this ride for how to respond ..in my case since 2013

Get educated how corrupt and criminal banks are, google it and tell him that.
Then tell him bitcoin pros see here http://www.coindesk.com/information/why-use-bitcoin/
and if they still dont listen, then tell them to go fuck themselves.

I guess you don't own a bank account anymore and you pay all your expenses via BTC.
To all hypocrites, stop lying. All of you have at least one bank account, most of you use Paypal and other payment processors as well and BTC is just a way to make some pocket money . Yes, it's a real business for others but this is minority.
In short, there is a lot of lie on this forum. Yes, maybe there are few BTC fanatics but those who are saying that the banks are "bad", I challenge you to tell me how you live a decent life, how you can pay your food with BTC only. Remember that all the "seeds/round 1, round two", "VC funds/investors" and so on are real money/capital injections made via banks. Without these and the black market, BTC shit won't exist.
There's a lot of people who will actively use cryptocurrency wherever possible. I only pay for things with my bank or PayPal when I don't get a choice, or if I severely don't trust the seller (what's that? there's a risk this company has beyond shit customer service and RMA? PayPal can force their hand and get me my money back).
I currently pay for my domains, hosting, my phone bill, games (via steam and humble bundle), and computer parts (quite a few big retailers accept bitcoin now, inc. Scan UK for computer components and AdaFruit for various electronic kits) all with Bitcoin. Key reason being that I don't have to worry about the company leaking my credit card details, or sneaking recurring payments for no good reason, and it also means that I don't have my bank, or PayPal recording all of my purchases and sales, thus giving me privacy similar to actual cash.
The key reason to use Bitcoin, is that it's the closest thing to physical cash (unless you live in NYC...) for the digital world. I can pay for most things usually without the seller requiring any personal details whatsoever. (for example, if you pay for Steam or Humble Bundle with Bitcoin, you don't have to give any address, where-as PayPal and Credit Card both give the seller your full name and address, and sometimes your phone number). This is great because it offers much more privacy, and of course helps to protect you against identity theft.
You can't force them to change their mind, but you can quite happily say "I told you so" when their bank, or something like PayPal freezes their account for some stupid reason, or they become victim to credit card fraud, which is all too common because every time you make a purchase you're practically giving the key to your bank to that website.
you are living in a country like USA or UK(maybe) but many, many other people are living in other countries where BTC is not accepted anywhere
.Yes, your credit card may be stolen or you can be scammed by someone who does not ship the item but you can make chargeback. It works, believe me.
Also, what do you do when your BTC is stolen? Nothing. You just sit and "cry" and then "you" come on forums whining that a hacker took your hard/easy work
BTC is for a niche and nothing more. it will never become more than that.
just ignore them,people with such thinking has been brainwashed by themselves cause they're such a denial person,explain bitcoin to them is such a waste time cause they just consider its as a bullshit even you're honest,bitcoin still alive without them tho
Try to explain them what Bitcoin really is, and if they still don't want to understand what you're saying. Then don't even bother to tell about Bitcoin to someone that don't even like it, just leave them alone or try to change the topic of the discussion.
I would let it be. It is always hard to convince ignorant and closed minded people about something.
All I would say is: "Let's meet us in five years again when I come to the meeting with my new Lamborghini whereas you will come with your Fiat Punto"
Sounds a little arrogant but this it what such people deserve.

Don't tire yourself. Nobody becomes anti of anything if they didn't hate them.
If you meet a person like that just change the subject. You use bitcoin, you like it, you use it because it is the cheapest option, it is anonymous, it is not regulated etc etc... That person probably don't know or don't give a fck for any of them. Just leave it.

some people should really be ignored because it doesn't matter how much you try to tell them about their mistakes they would never listen and will always continue in their own wrong ways and will try to convince others about their wrong ways too.
I don't argue with people who happen to be anti Bitcoin because they have their good or bad reasons to. I have my reasons to support Bitcoin. I'm not into missionary work, I don't like that.
the easiest way is to just link them to retailers that accept bitcoin
then link them to government documents that are getting into bitcoins
then link them to a food delivery service in THEIR area that accepts bitcoin and ask them.. "can i buy you a pizza"
once they know they can buy things to eat with it.. they usually quieten down. and see its not actually a magic unicorn, but real currency

Yeah i met a bunch of people who hates bitcoin, they said bitcoin is used for corruption and killing people (used by terrorist), i will explained according to my experience, how bitcoin impact in my life if in the end they dont want to listen then its their lost
I also must accept the truth that there were bunch of people using bitcoin for bad things, HYIP, PONZI, money laundry, so i basically cant blame them for hating bitcoin

Yes seriously I have been passed with a similar incident many times and during that I used to say them its also used by many millionaires of the world in there business and most of them runs in it, so who are you to say that ?? and simply smile on their face
Maybe i will share my profit from collecting bitcoin.
And how to spend it , for make those people will be envy .
Or if they are still stubborn , just ignore it and just doing your daily activities and share proof everyday
actually the anti bitcoin will shut their hearts to be attracted to the bitcoin. even if you give most of your profits to himAnd how to spend it , for make those people will be envy .

they will not join the bitcoin. they will feel proud to it so do not waste your money on it. just ignore it
Silence is the best answer to them. Feel happy that they hate bitcoin because that gives you a chance to make most out of bitcoin.
Let them hate it while you enjoy the pure profit. Hold it for few years and buy something which even they can't ignore. Make yourself successful and they will fell jealous for sure.
Buy something expensive with your bitcoin which they can't even afford with fiat. That's how they will understand the value of bitcoin.

for me i would leave them because could be useless to explain benefit of bitcoin for those who anti bitcoin because they will always underestimate bitcoin users but i think we must give them proof that not all bitcoin users are bad and bitcoin also not always be use for illegal activities
tell them about the advantages of using bitcoin and if they still dont listen what can u do? simple way is to ignore such people.
