Topic: Ok guys, Need some help with a negative friend! (Read 1234 times)
Because everyone is different, your friend's attitude may be because he sees bitcoin from a different point of view than what we see today. You should try to show your perspective to your friends before maybe it will change your friends mind.
Tell him he must have his head up his ass if he doesn't know where to use bitcoin in Canada. I literally just bought a new computer with bitcoin using a Canadian website.
Ask him this: "what is money?" "Who decides your Canadian dollar is worth ... a can of pop?" "Why do you feel like your currency should lose 1-3% of buying power every year? Why is that a benefit?" "Do you trust your government? Scratch that, you don't have to trust anyone with bitcoin" .
All your dumbass friend is focused on is the price. Clearly he has no idea what bitcoin is and why it's so much better than anything he'll ever accomplish with fiat.
Oh and what the fuck is he going on about a ponzi? If one exchange is having withdrawal issues the CURRENCY is now a ponzi? Holy shit. What a moron. I hope that he walks into his bank, asks for 200 grand in cash and they tell him no. PONZI! CALLED IT!

If your friend keeps stand on his argument about bitcoin then you can't do shit about it, just let it go and don't discuss about bitcoin anymore with him/her. There are many people who don't trust and hate bitcoin out there, so you can force someone to like or use bitcoin. Your friend only know about the negative one like scam, hyip, ponzi etc but never know about the benefit of bitcoin.
not all of my friends are good with bitcoins, but to those who negative to it I always say that it is only my decision, and people has right to say about their opinions.
Don't waste your time on negativity. Everyone here knows that you'll have the last laugh. It's just a matter of time before countries would start regulating cryptocurrency. You're gonna be laughing all the way to bitcoin bank.
For me your friends reaction is just normal.
Especially since bitcoin is new to him and he will surely have reservations for it since it onvolves real money.
And i think the solution is here is education. Do not convince him that bitcoin is all good and there is nothing negative about it. But let him understand what really bitcoin is, you cannot convince someone with something he doesnt know.

its hard to convince your friend because He/She has his own opinion about bitcoin, We do not insist on this. We need to respect his opinion.
Your friends probably don't know the block chaining technology, or you don't really know bitcoin. You can tell him about the development experience of bitcoin, and ETH and many of the current applications, let him judge again
You cannot make a person support bitcoin especially when he doesnt understand it. Or maybe he doesnt realize the value of it yet since he is not into it right now. Just continue what you think is best for you and let your friend believe what he wants to believe in. He will only see things clearly if he sees you earning big.
I can feel you man, I can feel you. I also got a friend (bankier), eversince I brought the topic of cryptocurrencies on the table we are arguing about it. Actually it went as far as really fighting over it verbally one this close to shouting at each other. After this we agreed to disagree and are avoiding the topic now. Some people will learn the truth the hard way!
LoL 
Your friend sounds definitely like my 86 year old grandma.
Oh please, he should be reading more about the latest technologies and inventions.
I see your friend think of bitcoin like a new form of online scam or ponzi scheme, right?
The first question to ask your friend is; Does he really know what is bitcoin? How bitcoin works?
No one will write you this letter knowing what is bitcoin and how it operates with bitcoin fundamental principles.
Bitcoins is currency just like USD but way better because it's digital, fast, secure, decentralized and acceptable worldwide.
Last advice please, consider taking advice from people with knowledge about what they are advising you about.

If I think he's failing to understand bitcoin, on the basis of his statement it seems to be focused on a pathetic multi-level marketing. Actually my friend is not negative. He does not know and does not realize it's more than just a currency and does not need to regulate and has the idea of this regulation protecting consumers. 
your friends do not understood anything and too many negative sides in mind this is a task for you to convince your friend bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme , there are many things and breadth in bitcoin if explained your friend should stick to its establishment ,now you do not need to do anything and you should now focus on proving the greatness of bitcoin ,for that you have to raise your status to become a rich from this bite
not all of my friends are good with bitcoins, but to those who negative to it I always say that it is only my decision, and i don't really care about their opinion on it
Negative companions are not even your companions since they are upbeat on the off chance that they see you in torment. They are tragic in the event that they see you grin and glad. On the off chance that you are gaining bitcoin then they are terminating that you are profiting. In the event that they ever find out about bitcoin like you. At that point they will never at any point converse with you since they will gain there-self. 
Well, your friend has the right to choose and it's obvious he's not into it. It's hard to convince people with that kind of level of close-mindedness. To each their own.
I say, don't waste your effort and just let your friend be, and let him find out for himself that bitcoin is the future of digital currency.

Hi guys, I have a friend who is determined to prove me wrong in regards to bitcoin. Before I respond to him, I thought I would post what he's wrote to me in attempt to "Stump" me and try to get me to stop with bitcoin. I think it will be interesting to see all replies from the bitcoin experts in here and to get a different reply than mine so I can put together a solid reply back. I'll post his email to me below. Thanks in advance.
"I read a lot of the negative aspects of bitcoin and I'm not understanding why you're crazy over it, it keeps appreciating because nobody is cashing out. Since it's not a government regulated currency to exchange, people are getting robbed left right and center going on these black market sites trying to cash out. I don't doubt you can sell the coins, but now people are afraid to try because there's no legitimate way to tell if you loose your money. People are running ponzi schemes because when you trade in the coins there's waiting periods before you get the "cash" and thats when these website wrap shit up and leave you high and dry. I remember you telling me that you can spend the coins in many natural places. That's isn't here in Canada. There is way too much negativity to support the investment for me. The positives are what's making the coin valuable, but in order for something to go up in value dramatically like this we have to think that it's not being sold anywhere and being the rare commodity that is it will naturally go up due to scarcity.
I really think you're making a big mistake with this stuff like everyone else."

Hello:
Your friend is amongst the majority of the general population - The concept of blockchain technology and bitcoin is far beyond any conventional wisdom. And as any other disruptive, game changing technology and ideology, it will take times and effort to fight through forces of resistance to eventually integrate into the mainstream.
Even for people, whose has strong technical background and with some level of higher educations, it still take sometime for them to fathom through the whole big picture. Here's an example: I've been talking with my family Doctor for months now - as every time I see my doctor. It has come to the point now where my doctor had slowly understood the potential benefits for humanity as a whole. My Doctor has finally gotten the idea and would like to invest some money in BTC. However, he had got some hard time trying to setup an account to start trading...this is a smart doctor whose treat and cure many people on the daily basis...
The bottom line is : Blockchain and Crytocurrency is a very complex subject - it extends far beyond money and financial matters. It potentially will completely change our future and new generations to come.
Without going into too much of detail, which could take lot of times and efforts - My advice to you and your friends is to spend lot of times to learn and understand blockchain, not just Bitcoin and altcoins but also Ethereum technologies, the ideology and the philosophy behind these subjects...
If you and your friends just want to get rich and earn some quick cash - then never mind, carry on with what you've been doing.
Good luck !
Thanks and Cheers,

You know you should just ignore what he's saying. He's a lost cause and you don't have to prove anything to him. What he said is a clear sign that he isn't and will never be into btc and any other cryptos. Just do your thing, continue with what you're doing whether trading or just simply investing. Once you've gained a lot maybe one day you can email him and ask him how he is doing and then simply tell him something like, "You know I continued investing in btc even though you emailed me all those things and right now I'm having the great time of my life here in Bahamas!" I have friends that I've told about btc months ago but didn't really minded me and now they're all over my messenger asking me for advice how to start in btc. Who knows maybe someday that friend of yours will come around and realize all the good stuff btc has to offer.

it simply because he is not in to it....if he already start to earn and widraw all his earning that the time you prove him wrong.many people will simply just react coz they dont experience it yet nor didnt even try....soon when you got ure own money frm btc simply show him your proofs.
As it is said that little knowledge is a dangerous thing so better is to get proper knowledge and guidance and enter some promising projects, then enjoy the blessings of bitcoin.

The best thing to do is ignore him, if he doesn't want bitcoin then its up to him if he does not want an extra income or an investment. It is his loss not yours. Maybe there are close minded people who are really not meant to be into new technology. If you already explain everything about bitcoin and still he doesn't want it, then its all up to him. You've already done your part.
