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?

Because of the way things have been happening in the crypto space, and the way in which the mass media have focused exclusively on spreading only the negative aspects or the FUD that has circulated recently regarding bitcoin, I think that your friends have some reason to be suspicious about the subject, but a little research on the Internet would suffice to realize for themselves that bitcoin is much more than the rumors that circulate freely everywhere.

We sure cannot blame their ignorance. It is because they are not yet educated about what bitcoin is and its benefits. I'd suggest you share them some articles on bitcoin via social media like Facebook or WhatsApp and make sure to explain it better to them one on one.
But I think the best motivation for them is your success in dealing in bitcoin. With your success, they will see for sure the benefits of bitcoin and how they've been missing out.

If you guys are friends on some social media platform like facebook and twitter, I think you should just share somr good news about bitcoins and how they can affect the overall lifestyle of people. With news like that, it's sure to get them going on bitcoins.

You can show them what are things that bitcoin have change in your life. Show them the opportunities bitcoin has offered to everyone. Let them know the beauty of this cryptocurrency. Let them know that with having knowledge in this cryptocyrrency you can become rich but it takes time. Let them know and let them be curious about it and if they still not accept it then stop you do not have to please them. They will soon realize the decisions they have made.

If they are really interested in it,they would have checked out and learned rather than listening to fake news and opinions from people who are not well versed in technology,there is nothing you can do to make skeptics believe you ,unless you have the power to inform them of their naive thinking,if not just shut up and have fun with friends rather than correcting them.

I have many friends who also think like that. Its like "authorities will go after you if they find out that you are involve in scam like bitcoin". I show them evidences that bitcoin is not illegal and they would gain good profit from it. But still they refuse to believe. I also showed them my gains but still no luck. What I did is, I stopped encouraging the, since they have their own minds and decision. If a person is closed minded to bitcoin, we can hardly encourage them.

It's really hard to explain people what bitcoin is because they are very used to the current system, and they only hear what the media says about bitcoin. Usually media likes flashy titles, and loves spreading fud because it sells, so since your friends don't really dig more information about bitcoin, they will jsut stay with the hype around crypto markets, and they will of course consider it a ponzi, or a bubble, or something that will never work.

What you did was just fine, you told them to read more about bitcoin. I would suggest you to tell them to listen to Andreas Antonopoulos since he is really passionate about bitcoin, and explains things very well (getting it technical but simple to understand). If they don't get convinced by him, then they will only get convinced once BTC gets adopted.

I dont understand how bitcoin can be a ponzi. It is not a platform that promises weekly and monthly interests on their money. Buying and holding bitcoin is like buying an asset or a property the only difference is that is it virtual and not physical asset. It is like buying gold and holding it and the only difference is that gold is physical and it doesnt make much differencs in price so the possible profit is not also that big.

And some of my elder brothers still think that bitcoin will go under 1k and then it will be vanish like Mavrodi Currency in Russia. They don't belive in bitcoin , they asked me that" Tell me who is the leader of bitcoin, from where bitcoin is managing? Why i need to invest in bitrcoin where i don't know who is the owner of bitcoin: But when price was 19k, They told me that if i bought some btc then now i can be millionaire but now when bitcoin under 9k they are saying again that , That highly pump was just a hype and now bitcoin will go for vanish!

Actually, Do not care those people.

It is hard to change the mindset of other people when its about Bitcoin or cyrptocurrency. But one thing I observed about them, they dont have the capital for investment and they are resistance to the ide aof bitcoin. My advice for you is not to be involve with them because they might scare you away. Just keep on working on Bitcoin and show them all the things you have achieve becaus eof Bitcoin. Sometimes, what you see is whta you get.

I do not think it is even necessary to try to convince closed-minded people. It will only do you harm than good. Just think of it this way, their opinion on Bitcoin does not affect your Bitcoin investments. You will not make money from them. So that is just it. As they say, learn to choose your battles. This move, of course, does not mean that we are silenced by these people; it only means their opinions do not change our situations, so why even bother?

Try not to mind them unless they engage you in a conversation. But take note, you never win against those whose minds have been closed for quite awhile.

About being a scam and ponzi, you might as well want to refresh to them the definition of these terms. That way, they will realize for themselves how Bitcoin fall short on the characteristics of those.

Thats normal and we still meeting such people everyday almost, I excuse them because they are victims of strong media platforms which fight Bitcoin and crypto currencies since many years. Try inviting them to this forum and let them learning the right infos about Bitcoin , maybe they will change their minds.

It is very difficult to convince someone to something they no longer believe in.
As much as you explain to them, they simply do not want to understand it. Huh

Every person has it's own perspective and thinking.Not everyone can think in same manner.People who think bitcoin is scam has probably have some misconception regarding bitcoin and we can clear that.But some have their own stories like one of my friend from india think that bitcoin was made by Indian businessmans to make their black money,which are their in foiregn banks to white through bitcoin.Which was not only stupid but illogical and you can't even explain to them as they are not ready.Soo we should avoid negative people and should earn profits.

Make your friends educate themselves. Scammers are just using bitcoin as a ponzi scheme but overall bitcoin have many different purpose. Maybe tell them that it is one of the bitcoin's uses. But even though it has bad usage there is also a good usage. They are just looking to the bad side and not doing research at all on what things that bitcoin do convenience to its users. Bitcoin maybe doubtful, yes, but it is not an excuse to destroy its name to new users.

You can try to explain to your friends what bitcoin is about. But if they are close minded and refused to accept, then let it be. It is hard to change someone mindset.

Even i heard this kind of stuff from many people. But i ignore them and just tell them that its all market based theory , we will see ups, downs and corrections and all kind of stuff. Somebody not knowing how the market moves cant be explained of the price theory instead they should go to some financial bank institutions and get the stocks traded instead. Thats all i can say for them.

This is pretty obvious to happen, specially people with old minded thoughts does considers it to be scam and ponzi, and not only bitcoin but the whole crypto currency system, the blockchain. I believe we can't do anything extraordinary to make them believe, the media and the government would do it for sure, may be not today or tomorrow, but in near future for sure. Governments can't deny blockchain and cryptography.

Well, that's true that there are people don't believe yet in btc. That its not easy to explain to the people who have no knowledge about bitcoin. Its better to talk seriously to them and discuss well so that they can understand. I think its better to tell them that its on your self if you believe it or not, the important is you give them idea how to invest and you show them the prove that its true, its not a scam. Give more time to advice them always. There are many ways so that they believe, so don't stop to convince them until they start to invest.
