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.

Let them think what they want to think about bitcoin because there is no way for their belief to change and they will stay negative out of bitcoin and will just become positive if they will see that bitcoin is mooning again and for sure that bitcoin will prove them wrong because even in the first place, bitcoin is not a scam and a ponzi and a lot of people can prove that.

Many still live in the past world and it is difficult for them to perceive something very new, and even more difficult to understand it. Many people believe in rumors and that we are told not analyzing this information. For the information to be correct it should be heard at least from two sources, and then to analyze the received information and to make the conclusion independently.
That is why it's much better to invest in coins now and then talk about the difficulties of that later. It should feel much better.

Someone is sitting in the shade today...
The price of Bitcoin may go for a 100kusd nobody will surprised due to its price is based on pure speculation. As we had the dotcom bubble in our recent history, it is not backed by any governmental institutions or intermediary. I expect everything can happen. Its price is rising only because of the creating stories. Investors are taking out loans to buy Bitcoins.Keep in mind that 22.13 percent of Bitcoin investors did not pay off their credit card balance after purchasing Bitcoin. Bitcoin reflects merely demand for the mirage of its speculative value rather than a usage as currency. They are currently seems to be right to think that bitcoin is a Ponzi, hopefully it will change by the developments should be done.

Bitcoin lives since 2009 and has already confirmed that this is not a Ponzi scheme.
Today, the entire world economy begins to depend to some extent on bitcoin.
To say that the whole economy depends on bitcoin is not entirely accurate. I think bitcoin is just on the rise. Currently bitcoin is only common in some countries. And bitcoin is not a substitute for cash, some people do not even know they will not believe that bitcoin is the place to check out the highest income. I also recommend that some friends join the bitcoin business but they do not believe bitcoin generates income

Maybe your friend isn't know more about what's bitcoin or don't have knowledge about bitcoin and how it work. Many people said bitcoin is scam and that's just people who don't have capital for investment. I have friend and he is successful from bitcoin, at this time he built a big house and he also have car, can we say if bitcoin scam? Yiu can try to give suggestion to your friends that bitcoin isn't scam. If they still not believe it so ignore them.

The main reason why people do not believe in bitcoin, is because they do not see evidence from bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most promising coin in cryptocurrency and this makes it possible for us to be rich and be better in the future. Only a few people do not believe in bitcoin, so if we want to believe them, let us show them an evidence and importance of bitcoin for all of us. Bitcoin gives fun to me because without bitcoin I can not help my parents and I can not buy anything.

No kind words for a close-minded people that will make them believe about Bitcoin. Because if they are really not interested in it, they won't bother to listen and understand what you are trying to teach them. It is better not to force them. Just do your own business. But if one day they realized the beauty of our crypto world, then that is the time you'll help them by all means.

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?

Almost everyone who is new in the industry of cryptocurrency thinks the way it is, Every time they hear the word BITCOIN/CRYPTOCURRENCY is next to the word scam/fraud because it is being used by exploitative people that are taking the advantages on other people who don't fully understand how bitcoin and cryptocurrency work. If you want your close friends, relatives, and co-worker fully how bitcoin works try to explain it in a simple way and not on a complex that they can't understand.

We have the same situation,  for the firstime I introduce bitcoin to my friends, they said it is ponzi scheme. After I invited them to join in airdrop or bounty in bitcointalk, they earned money and they are very thankful to me that I introduce it to them.

I wouldn't even bother because they are set in their ways. You can't force someone to change their mind if they aren't willing to hear arguments or debate. Ever try listen to different political groups argue? All argument, no change in beliefs.

Well, it can't be helped if people think of bitcoin that way because there are people who simply won' t try to understand no matter how hard or how valid your argument is. In such cases, just let them be. Rather than exhausting your energy explaining to them, use it instead to increase your knowledge and understanding in bitcoin. Not only you are helping yourself, you are also increasing your knowledge on this field which would be really helpful in the long run...

I do not blame your friends and family for misinterpreting bitcoins. I blame the fud starters, the government, media and Bank institions.

The government fears it, rather than adopting it, its hell bent on messing it up and destroy it.

Media is one of the biggest culprits out here, in the age of digital it has severely dented bitcoins with fud news.

Banks could work side by side and gain so much but all they care is of their monopoly, hence they do not support it.

I would suggest you to get their attention to Japan, show them success stories of bitcoins. Use info graphics and charts to drive your point home. Better give them few dollars in bitcoins to play with.

Don't mind them, don't stress yourself with what others think on bitcoin.
If still, you want to enlighten them, you should be knowledgeable enough to explain things or at least to prove that it is not a scam.

Then let them be. You don't owe them nothing and an explanation as to how bitcoins are not a scam. Let them be ignorant of the fact that bitcoins will eventually change the whole game of money. Eventually, they'll find out that bitcoins are great and they'll be all looking like idiots for thinking bitcoins are actually ponzi schemes.

Well, I did ask you what you have learnt so far in the Bitcoin it self. Taking  a cue from your stand because I was once like you. The best way to convince them is from your earnings and real social marketing works you have done to earn

I heard that many times, not from friends, but from the media.
I tend to think that people which have no idea how technology works decided to actually talk bad about crypto.
There were some investors (which I strongly believe have no idea how to use a computer) that claimed Bitcoin & Crypto is ponzi and that's it. Bull!

If you know nothing about bitcoin. You will think its a scam and ponzi. Thats what happen to me. But because of my ignorance in bitcoin. My curiousity drives me to study bitcoin. And through this forum i learned about it. If i where you just tell your friends that before they think that bitcoin is a scan and ponzi. They should know bitcoin first.
