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 just reply them something along the lines of "good luck with fiat and your bank" and be on my way. No time for toxic, uneducated and arrogant people in our short lives.

Definitely, thats my advice too.

Stop wasting your time on uneducated, ignorant, mindless people. Our time is much more precious than to waste it on people like that.

We can make bitcoin great with our skills and ambition, and there is no room for people who cant appreciate that.

Why bother giving energy to someone who already lays out a set position? I ain't got time for that and if that's what they choose to believe then let them. Everyone else'll keep on rolling and they'll eventually eat their words.

Let them have their opinion, just like with anything else.  People are going to disagree with things and aren't guaranteed to like the things you're passionate about.  So my advice to you is you don't really need to "respond".  If they want to debate, that's another story.  But if you're wondering how to go about convincing someone bitcoin is the best currency on earth, good luck.  I still don't understand why people spend bitcoin on day-to-day things.

Who cares about them, they are probably just trendy mindless people who cant have a rational conversation about bitcoin with them.

They dont understand economics, finance, the monetary system? Why bother to convert them when they are that stupid?

They just go with the herd and have no sense of individuality.

What is the best way to respond to someone who is anti bitcoin?

For example, you are at a party or other social gathering or on a non-bitcoin related forum online. Your friends may be there as well as other mixed company. The subject of bitcoin comes up and there is that person or persons who pipe in with the usual: bitcoin is a ponzi, scam, not real currency, fake money, used by criminals and terrorists, will never become anything, will crash and become worthless, not secure, etc, etc and on and on.

If it is obvious they are truly against bitcoin, as opposed to someone who is just skeptical and unsure about bitcoin as many are, what would be the best approach. Should you even bother trying to address and refute each of their points? Would you do so more for the sake of others present who might be interested in a pro-bitcoin viewpoint? And if so, how would you go about it without appearing like a total fanboy or becoming unhinged and losing your cool?

Anyone have any ideas or can share their experiences with this situation in real life or on other non-bitcoin related forums? Mostly responding to someone truly anti-bitcoin when other people or members of a forum may be present or listening/reading as well.
