Well i'm pretty sure that if you are staying in developed countries. Governments would have release statements against bitcoin and that would be pretty obvious that cryptocurrency is not simply a ponzi system but a type of industry that is prone to money laundrying and they need to regulate them. Your friends might either look too short about its nature (didnt read news). Or one friend of mine is fairly against the fact that bitcoin's supply which he sees as manipulate or stuff, which I felt that somebody wouldnt just take bitcoin on the monetary view but its underlying technology

Dear all,

I just heard some of my friends chatting in a gathering and they think Bitcoin is scam and Ponzi. I just give them a smile and wish they will educate themselves a bit.

So, I would like you to give me some suggestions, how I can give them some hints with soft words which can change their mind or at least give them some more space to think twice?

if they think so
then who cares about them? whether they can be a person who enters paradise by making that statement?
just do what we can
we can be happy without interruption of others, that is enough

Bitcoin is essentially a ponzi scheme, but at the bottom of the ponzi pyramid is a limited investor base, which is the global power system and Internet system. The former is prone to collapse, the latter hardly. So bitcoin is a "smart" design.

If people dont want to believe in you, then its not your fault anymore, its their lost. If they dont want to invest then dont force them, because if they see you earn a lot in bitcoin then thats the way they believe in you because you have the proof that bitcoin is not a scam.

very difficult to change one's opinion, but try to ask the reason they think bitcoin is a scam, I'm sure they have reason to think like that, then you try to explain the reason you believe in bitcoin. If they still can not be given advice, then you have to prove that bitcoin is not a scam by showing everything you get from bitcoin.

Some people are simply close minded, and there's nothing we can do with that. If I we're you, I'd just explain to them what a "ponzi" really means and how bitcoin isn't a ponzi, because it never promised any returns. Don't waste your time trying to convince people in to an industry that they probably couldn't understand.
Bitcoin is very profitable if we have knowledge on it.Those people that keep on thinking that it is a scam are negative people that was influence by negative sources like social media or fake news on television that has negative information about the existence of cryptocurrency.Most people nowadays will never believe its worth until it is proven but if they were not a part of this community or in this forum by what they hear or read is what they believe.I just think if all people would be resourceful enough to investigate and do some research on it most probably they will come up with doing crypto business like what we already did.

Close minded people can never be reasoned with, they just won't listen to a thing you say.
I think the best way to make them understand is by example.
Take them to an exchange center,then cash out some for them to see.
Only by them they'll be open and susceptible to suggestions and knowledge regarding bitcoin.
I tried it once, and it worked

Bitcoin is not Ponzi as it is traded on the free market and no one has referral provisions for inviting other users to buy bitcoin.
Bitcoin is often associated with people that are making money off of scams. Bitcoin is a different thing.

First crypto index traded as a token!
It will be hard to convince skepticals that Bitcoin is not a scam. They just have to see for themselves. Even for people in the crypto space it's sometimes difficult to believe it's not a scam, if you see and hear about the price increase or decrease caused by pump and dump groups or whales.

Do your friends even understand the meaning of a Ponzi? It's an investment program where the early investors are paid interest due to the influx of new investors capital, this becomes unsustainable as there are fewer and fewer new investors. How would this model even fit bitcoin? There are no dividends paid to older investors, and no controlling company. Your friends are idiots.

my advice, tell me a bit about bitcoin and lack of excess of this digital money, and say a little of your income from bitcoin and also buy them something or food so they can taste and know you buy it with bitcoin. With them looking at your income and being able to buy goods or food for them with bitcoin, so they know that bitcoin is not a scam and ponzi.

Literally bitcoin is not a scam and it is only and investment. Bitcoin is not legal nor illegal. Bitcoin does only good to its members benefiting from the big earnings on the imvestment and that is really true about bitcoin. Many members already had changes their lifestyle after embracinf bitcoin. It is the effect of the big earnings that bitcoin has offer. Imaginr in just a short period of time for at least one year and you investment wil be doubled or even multiplied by 2 or 3 times fold? And not only that if you like to start in a small amount of money to invest then it is possible also by joining ICO projects like the BITSCHOOL ICO wherein education is the center of the project aiming for good and quality education. It is indeed a commendable project. And if you wish to know more about the project visit the website with the link posted below:

First of all you know that we cannot please everybody to understand what is bitcoin. The way you need is to proof them that you can get earnings from bitcoin, some people like that they not believe without any proof. Just share your knowledge to them about bitcoin if they don't want it's ok you did your best to share your knowledge.

I wouldn't even bother trying to change people's minds. In fact, when people call bitcoin a scam, I actually agree with them on the point that people are stupid and will buy when the price is already sky-high -- essentially agreeing it's not a good investment for most people, given its volatility.

It appears your friends do not exactly know and understand what a ponzi scheme is.

You dont have to please them all about bitcoin worth. If they still think negative after you explained them very well leave them. They will realize that you're telling them the truth when you get everything and buy things that couldn't buy before. Just do your best to get a comfortable life because of bitcoin.

true, i agree with this. i have told my friend about the way to earn extra money participating in bounty campaigns, and i spent my time on explaining how it all works, and then after a week of doing twitter bounty (and you know that twitter bounty campaign is the easiest, but also the cheapest i should say), she told me that it's just a waist of time and why would i put her through this crap.. so if a person wants to think that bitcoin and cryptoworld in general is crap, don't bother wasting your time reassuring them. evidently it's their choice and to right. try to show it by your example (but in my case it didn't help either)

I have friends like them too but i don't mind them completely regarding bitcoin. I have told them already about it but they choose to think that way. Soon, they will realize how true bitcoin is when i will show them my ultimate dream come true because of bitcoin.
