Well the best way to respond to that kind of people is to just let them express their opinions and you express yours too. When he responds to your opinion then state some facts why bitcoin is not a ponzi etc etc to prove that bitcoin is better than banks. That way you can sway many others too to use bitcoin.  

Dont talk to a man that is anti bitcoin, Dont waste you energy talking to him, he is not worthy for your time. He will soon realize that bitcoin is important

Don't lose your cool. That is the most important thing.
People who say that things usually are the people who don't understand it.
And the reason they don't is because they have closed eyes to it.

If I were in a situation like that. I'll just have to try to change the topic so that I could get away from a very long argument.  

1. Find out why they are anti-bitcoin.
2. Address the reasons they are anti-bitcoin, in an honest, candid and humble manner.
3. Provide them with reasons to be pro-bitcoin.

For example, sometimes people say something like "it's a scam/ponzi" - just ask what they mean by those terms, and how it applies to bitcoin, and keep asking, until they realize they don't know what they are talking about. Then you can hit them with positives. In my opinion, one of the best ways to do this is to show the positives of bitcoin in the same category that they used to object to it. If they say it's a ponzi, talk about the way fiat is controlled by the Federal Reserve or other central banks, is deliberately manipulated to support politicians/curry favor, or enrich the aristocracy, and so on. Get them to realize, in other words, that it is not bitcoin that is corrupt, but their fiat.

Don't expect sudden conversions. Most people need time to reflect, and space to rethink things and admit they were wrong. If they start asking honest questions, that is a _great_ sign. It's when they are "telling" you that you need to overcome their objections. And by the same token, try to avoid pontificating too much, or using overly dogmatic language that cannot be justified. Admit that bitcoin is not perfect, just an improvement over fiat with room to grow better.

first i will tell them onemore time about bitcoin, and if their reactions still same ,its their problem not my bussiness,

because some people to narrowminded with negative thinking around them,they will realize when the time is come

I just try to explain all about the digital currencies and among that I describe the uniqueness of bitcoin. After this no matter they adopt or not, because it benefits him if used.

I ignored them because there must be something like bitcoin. If we tell them to explain why did not like and make them into like I think it's very difficult. There are several factors that make them not like bitcoin.

i would mostly keep quiet in response to such people when they are fanatically are talking about some topic, these people wouldn't listen to anything anyways so why waste my time on them!

but if you really want to answer you could tell them about how bitcoin works and why it is not a ponzi (you can google this for better answer than i can give you) and also show them how much better it is than using lets say PayPal instead.

To be completely honest, there is no way that you will be able to sway a lot of the most adamant anti-Bitcoin opinions, sometimes you just have to choose whether or not it matters debating or arguing with others. In most instances, in my opinion, you can explain what you want but there isn't any point arguing with them beyond that. Just accept they don't like Bitcoin and move on.

If you encounter such a situation, you try to stay calm in the deal do not rush and excitement.
Explain to them what is bitcoin bitcoin clearly and how it works, how to get it and so forth. Convey also how positive responses of others also figures on this bitcoin and also benefits if you have any bitcoin.
If that does not work you do not worry, leave it alone and show them that you can do anything with bitcoin.

why do you even want to waste your time, let them stay in their own ignorance.
i have encountered such people in my life they are not only limited to bitcoin and being anti bitcoin. these people are stubborn as a mule and will never listen to any reason so just leave them be and don't waste your breath.

The best way is to let them with their ignorance no amount of explanation can change them,when internet first made a buzz there are so many unbelievers,there will be many who will oppose,like it or not just go with your interest..

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.

Just stay away and let him be, because it's hard to explain to that people if they already anti about bitcoin. Just show them your wallet bitcoin and tell them the price of each bitcoin.

"Good luck with inflation."
Is all I say and need to say. It either works or doesn't. It out doesn't, they're a lost a cause.

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.

I usually respond with a link to a video explaining Bitcoin to start, then go off on a rant why its so good

You only need is to explain what is the benefits of bicoin to you and for the future then if he/she not listening to you then stop replying to them you only waste your time.

"How To Respond To Someone Who Is Anti Bitcoin ?"

It depends on the results you are looking for.
Do you want to debate, argue, alienate, simply state your experience with bitcoin or change the mind of a non-believer?
Who your audience is matters: are they technically inclined, interested in finance/economics, investments?
How about asking them why they feel that way and then...you listen :-)

Don't reply! Why should you? Everybody is free to have its own opinions and beliefs. Don't they teach tolerance in school?
