Topic: I have stopped introducing bitcoin to others! - page 6. (Read 5159 times)
I don't find any difficulty in explaining to people because today people are always looking for new opportunity. Even we are spending low amount for transaction with bitcoin, we are paying very high amounts when we made purchase in wall marts, movies etc. taxes are very high. With bitcoin transaction charges are very low, in this we can easily motivate the people.
Cant argue with that also. It needs deeper knowledge for them to truly understand which they wont because they want to stay on they convenient zone.
One thing you just have to keep on your mind, that is their opinion and we have ours. We try to share it with them. If they resist then it is fine also. We dont lose anything but they lose the way to see a new beginning or could make their life new.
Those people just want to stay at that comfort zone which is the wrong thinking specially now with all the hard things with the economy.

I discovered bitcoin too late and the main reason was that i didn`t found someone like you before 3 years or even back in 2011.
I have missed so much opportunities with bitcoin and i regret about that.
You should continue promoting bitcoin to newbies.If you convince even 1 person about bitcoin,this is huge.

I understand your reasons and why you have made such decision. This could be very hard and sometimes you can get the feeling that you are talking to the wall. But still this is one of the ways how Bitcoin is spread and its the best method to promote Bitcoin because people like to hear from the first hand, so from you as experienced user what are the advantages of using Bitcoin and why should they also do it.
after 3 years of introducing bitcoin to other people and getting at least 100 of them into bitcoin I have stopped.
because all these years I have never told anyone bitcoin is an investment, whenever there is talk of bitcoin I first say bitcoin is a currency and show them the benefits of it as a currency, being decentralized as the best thing and then the security and speed and finally the cheap fees and lots more.
then I introduce them to services they can use with bitcoin, and all the discounts they can get.
but honestly I can no longer give any answer to the question saying "why would I pay $0.9-$1 fee for using a new thing called bitcoin that I don't even understand instead of using my credit card for free that I have been using my whole life."
of course I can always start arguing about lots of other things and benefits and start talking about bitcoin being an investment but deep down I agree with them and also I hate telling new people "bitcoin is an investment and you are gonna make profit from price rise", that is just silly.

Edit2: I closed this topic since it has turned into a non-constructive spam-fest of people repeating rather similar things and ignoring most of what I said. sorry everyone else.
