Found some replies regarding bitcoin in the old hacker news websites. You just have to to look at the first reply and see how 'ignorant' people are back in the early days. Grin

. We can't blame them though, we haven't seen this kind of technology before, so it's understandable that people will question its intention and the impact it could 'potentially' bring to the world.

People only need to be subjective in reading and seeing the news. If not, they will be carried away with assumptions made by the media and look like fools. In today's modern era, everyone should have the opportunity to be smarter, easier.

I think the more interesting here is that it got only 3 comments, rather than the content of those comments - it just shows us how Bitcoin went from a tiny project known only to a small group of enthusiasts - to a hundreds of billions market, a whole new industry and millions of active users. There are plenty of stories about huge corporations that started in a garage as a small business, but what makes Bitcoin different is that it grew without any marketers, executives, offices, government support - people simply bought it on exchanges or mined it, and brilliant programmers worked on absolutely for free.

Well, hearing out the idea would make you skeptic and negative about it and that's a pretty normal reaction for someone who haven't looked at the potential.

Where that guy could be right now?

Good question, maybe that individual is still leaving under the mom's basement and banging his computer screen for ridiculing bitcoin. Grin

. But seriously, who wouldn't have thought that after 10 years, bitcoin still lives and the price could go as high as $20k a pop in 2017.

OP, that was not ignorance. Roll Eyes

Most people are immediately pessimistic about new things, even more when they do not understand the technology. It was also a time when projects like this was done in the dark corners of the Internet and when everything was hush hush. Wink

A lot of people got arrested for creating their own currencies back in the day, so some pessisim should have been expected. So, be honest.. would you have reacted any different if it was you back then? Roll Eyes

There is trouble abrewing

the internet is filled with naysayers specially when it comes to new things that scares them because of being new!! you didn't have to go that far to find such cases though, this forum is filled with examples too and this is a "bitcoin" forum not an off topic matter. just go to old pages of this board or speculation board and you will find them...

Why back in the days, Presently 70 percent of the world still believes that. This is after knowing about Bitcoin. I had asked one of my friend few days back about investing in Bitcoin and the answer that I got was the same. There is still lot to be done for mass adoption. I can see many new initiative but still it is not enough.

What can we do to make other understand Bitcoin?

1. We can participate in other non Cryptocurrency forum and initiate a conversation about Bitcoin
2. We can start a Blog on Bitcoin or Cryptocurrency
3. Talk to friends whenever there is a get together or a casual meeting
4. Organize a Blockchain and Bitcoin conference at a local school or a college.

Some of us may be shy to talk to others as we fear negative reply. Just talk to them and if they are okay to hear explain them more.
