People are easily influenced and corrupted when they don't have proper knowledge on what they are practically involving themselves and this is the same case with bitcoin. As bitcoin is fast growing they are so many people and nations already against its adoption because of its decentralised nature which prevents any central body from controlling it making it a hate project for many government body but those who know it's true value are still adopting it. So as a newbie it's only proper to fully equipt oneself against these hates.

An individual with the knowledge of inflation and currency devaluation especially if they are from a country that is not doing so well economically, can easily argue with any critic from a practical and real life application point of view about how bitcoin adoption improves the economic prospects of a country using El Salvador as a case study. There's so much that country has achieved in a year that would make great points.

Just like the pastor in church will tell us that knowledge of the scriptures will help us against the devil, Knowledge about bitcoins will help you to be able to decipher a bad and wrong information about bitcoin when heard. Getting into an argument because you have knowledge is not really worth the energy when you notice that the person who you are wanting to correct does not want to accept correction. The knowledge that you have is more to help not to get deceived, not for you to get into an argument with.

This link covers most of the speculated topics against Bitcoin in general so it will be really useful for anyone who wants to grow their knowledge to counter bitcoin haters. Smiley

Especially for the people who say bitcoin mining is bad for the environment and this Cambridge University's Updated Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index Reveals Lower Energy Consumption update serves as where the bitcoin mining usage stands and its compared to what even though it is somewhat inaccurate still it shows which we can compare with and how governments are exaggerating and blaming bitcoin for mistakes they are making.

Anyone that knows about the knowledge of demand and supply and also understand the principle of how assets are increasing in price due to increase in demand will like bitcoin and able to defend that it is an asset with limited supply of just 21 million BTC. For people to understand about bitcoin against critics, reading the bitcoin white paper can be the start.

You are right and I truly think the newbies need the right information so they don't get distracted. However, as for the caption of the post, I don't see any need for newbies to engage in argument with critics.

What the newbies need is to get the knowledge that will sensible them build their faith in Bitcoin. This faith will protect them from every negative posts and discouragement. Remember,  "if you are informed, you cannot be deformed"
