This is the image bitcoins have among my friends and family. They Still thinks that Bitcoins will vanish one day as many scam and ponzi schemes. No matter how you educate them, it becomes fruitless ,so the best thing to do is to leave them to their fate.

Everyone of us have their own thinking and opinion about Bitcoin on how they react about it.But by letting them know what really is can help to them to understand it,yes at first they will not believe but once you show some experiences of yours that's the time they will think twice.

It doesn't help when the mainstream media is fanning those flames. Even a respected news org like The Economist is still publishing articles that have lines like: "Bitcoin has become a combination of a bubble, a Ponzi scheme and an environmental disaster". In fairness, they are quoting someone else, but they also don't provide any counter-arguments to it.

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?
Be friendly but stop talking about bitcoin, I do not have the time to try to convince every single person of the great characteristics of bitcoin if they do not want to listen then they can keep their fiat and keep going nowhere as most people do, I invest in bitcoin and I know that sooner or later my life will be improved by it, when they finally see the results bitcoin can bring they will want to get in as well but it will be too late, it may seem cruel but I'm tired of trying to convince people.

Haha why do not you try to explain and prove to them that Bitcoin is not a scam. It only becomes dangerous to those who do not understand it but still invest in it. Besides, I think Bitcoin brings a lot of benefits to us. It helps us become rich, it becomes a real career

agree with you, it should be explained maybe they will understand later or at least show our circumstances that have done that and not proven with such news, even been very helpful for our daily needs.
by providing a clear information with our day to day situation they may understand that the scam news is a lie.
Invite your friends with a cup of coffee educate them what is all about what is digital currency and how earn profit from bitcoin.Show your investments and profit.And if you did not convince them its not your loss atleast you do your part.

I am a baby to cryptocurrency~
Really appreciate for all your valuable input!
I will leave them alone in stone age. I do not want to force or convince them, it is really hard to change one's mind, just want to let them know the good side of technology, freedom and eventually release from being a financial slave, do what them want, help people in need. At the end, the choice are theirs.

I am heading to this goal and hope all of you can help each other who willing to change to achieve too!

If that will be their thinking about bitcoin so leave them alone. We cannot please everybody specially on their opinion so lets have to respect them. Lets just continue to work hard to have good earning and be a good example to them and prove them that bitcoin is not a scam. That bitcoin really gives people an opportunity to have a good future without financial difficulties. Continue to spread the good news to those friends who believe in bitcoin and give them also the chance to earn and learn what this crypto currency world means about. Maybe later those who didn't believe in you if they hear and see what you have right now they will be convince that they are wrong with their perceptions about bitcoin.

I think your friend is behind in technology. If you have a good understanding of bitcoin, explain to them both the weaknesses and the advantages of bitcoin. Describe the data that can convince them. It's not easy to give an understanding of it, but at least we can share information, even if your friend still thinks that bitcoin is a scam.

The best way to make their perspective change most especially the negative things about bitcoin is to let and make them see. Everyone have different mindset and you can't please all of them. They think and act that way because they didn't have the proper knowledge in the first place. Given that, they're not ready to engage themselves with something regarding crypto for it is a total 'scam' for them which is the complete opposite.

if you feel unable to explain about bitcoin to them, I suggest just let them in their opinion. Because if you try to explain bitcoin to them while your knowledge is still small, I think it will trap you.
do they know you like bitcoin?
if they know, then my suggestion is to show your success from bitcoin to them, I'm sure if they see you succeed in bitcoin, they would think twice about saying scam on bitcoin.

Some of them may not know or know what bitcoin is, so they think that bitcoin is a fraud.

We can't please everyone they have their mindset and goals. We're here and believing that bitcoin will change everything. We have mindset and goals in life, action will speak than words. You're going to have a sweet revenge soon. Think positive buddy!

It's just a normal reaction if you don't know exactly what the thing is. Like those people who think BTC is scam , their notion is like that because they're not joining this forum. All we could do is to prove and show to them that BTC is really not a scam by doing the things we usually do here.

Because they are not believing in cryptocurrency specially those who are working in banks and if you are educated or have a knowledge in bitcoin or cryptocurrency share and explain properly that bitcoin is not a scam but it should help you to earn and have a additional income. If they still not believing you testify to them on jow you earn and specially you have a proven to take in their mind the bitcoin qas not a scam.

As humans, we're imperfect anD thus, we cannot please others and convince them to really think that BTC isn't a scAm or what. The least thing that we could do is to continue doing what we love doing about BTC.
