How many people do you know that are related to bitcoin? Do they know what is it?
Do you have friends or family members who are trading with bitcoin?

My friends and familly all know about bitcoin, because I can't stop talking about it. However I've never pushed anyone into Bitcoin, on the contrary, I've always made my point but always warned them about the possibles dangers of getting involved with BTC.

A couple of friends use bitcoin and some family members. I tell others about it some have heard of it for the wrong reasons like when silk Road was getting media attention. I think more people about me would use it if there were more companies the accepted payment of it

Not too many people i know or come across understand the full value of bitcoin

Some use it to make payments online, and others have read about it and have some level of understanding... but i think that on a broad scale, people struggle to trust it because its so different

People seem to trivialize bitcoin because its such an abstract concept so they dont take it entirely seriously

Their loss i guess

I have 3 friends who are aware of Bitcoins, they also own a couple of them, but none of them are trading in Bitcoins. My parents are aware of Bitcoin, but are hesitant to invest in it. They prefer investing in fixed deposits and something involving least amount of risks with considerable gain.

My children got me into Bitcoin, but pushed me to get more information.... because they did not understand it. I could not explain it, because I knew very little at the start. My son

needed to find a way to make some income, and I helped him to find out a bit more about Bitcoin. It grew from there and now the whole family are in some way connected to

Bitcoin. The "extended" family is just trouble, so I did not even introduce them to the technology.  Roll Eyes

I have successfully introduced bitcoin ecosystem to many people, most of them through faucets. Yes, faucets are the main attraction I'm using to get new people into bitcoin ecosystem. Some of my office friends who got introduced by me have also invested into bitcoin.

Most people that I have spoken to just look at me with wonder and ask "Really there is such a thing?"
I don't think they know the concept of it. Only that it is used online so they assume that is all it can be used to buy things with it, just online  Undecided

About 20 people that I know that use Bitcoin, trade it or have just invested in it. Some are friends, some are family members and to the most of these 20, I have introduced Bitcoin to.

Need I to say that I have tried to talk in at least 100 people into the Bitcoin and only about these 20 have joined. It took me about 2 years for this so as you can see, user adoption is a slow and painful process!

Related to bitcoin, a couple of them, but what i notice in last months is that people who was not interested on bitcoin, now they are asking me about more and more things related to that.

Most of them didn't know what bitcoin is, you know, you try to talk with them about bitcoin, but they see to bitcoin like a ponzi all something really bad that comes from the net...Btw as i said, two years ago, i had less friends who are related to bitcoin than now, thats good symptoms Wink

My colleagues and a few friends know about bitcoin. A colleague introduced bitcoin to me. At first I was hesitant but he started earning thru trading and gambling bitcoin, so I got in as well. I am still learning the ins and out of bitcoin, but I am getting there. About, family members, none of them knows bitcoin. They do not appreciate it as much as I do now. Maybe someday, they will too just like me, but not now.
