Topic: Pride and prejudice against cryptocurrency investors - page 2. (Read 236 times)

Nothing really. Bitcoin is over 12 years old now and lots of information are available for anyone interested in learning more about it. I can help out anyone who is interested in learning about it, but would not try to convince anyone who isn't, if they do not understand it yet, they do not plan to.

    I used to be an accountant. Two years ago, I came into contact with a cryptocurrency company in a business, so I resigned and officially became a practitioner in the cryptocurrency industry. Till now, not every friend of mine knows about my new job, even though two years have passed.

    I have suffered a lot of pride and prejudice against investors and practitioners in cryptocurrency industry.
Initially, I talked to my friends about my new job without reservation until I found out that some of them should thought cryptocurrency investors a group of gamblers, the mob.

   Sometimes, friends in the traditional Internet industry would say they want to know my job. I deemed it friendly communication. But when I hadn’t spoken a few words, they would say with confidence, "our company has been engaged in technology for more than 20 years. The underlying technology of Bitcoin is very easy, not difficult for us”, or “what is the value of mining? There is no value at all, just a waste of resources”. They are no fan of the current applications of blockchain. After my explanation, they simply felt that there’s something wrong with my brain. I meant to have heartfelt communication but that turned out to be a foolish act.

   Of course, I have met outsiders with willingness to to accept new things as well. Some don't care about blockchain or disruptive technology. Their only concern is how to buy and then cash out, short-term operators. While others gradually become long-term investors by trying to understanding this industry in trading.

   What would you do to your prejudiced friends?
