At first I have lots of friends who do not believe in Bitcoin or other digital cryptocurrencies and they thought the same thing. What I did is I proved to them that is is not a scam and many do create Ponzi schemes to get money out of other people but told them Bitcoin is not that at all. I would suggest you to let them see what you have been doing, like for instance in this forum and let them know what Bitcoin really is. And you have to also have knowledge with what you want to educate them because of course how can you teach them or educate them when you yourself lack education out of it too. So first thing you should do is educate yourself first, once you are confident already in what you are doing and you are earning then apply what I have suggested but if it still doesn't work for them then just let them be.

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.
Yes.We don't have to convince them to never think negative against bitcoin,it's their choice so let it be.But once you have made already huge profits from bitcoin,show them what you've got like how far have you gone from bitcoin.They can see it with their own eyes that you've made lot of changes already in your life.Maybe this time they will change already their perspective on bitcoin.

Well the easiest would be to direct them to this forum and let the threads speak for themselves.

I often meet people who are not convinced of the existence of Bitcoin, I try to explain slowly until I also explain what is Blockchain. From where they try to listen to every detail of me, and now these people are unwittingly playing bitcoin.

I think that the recent crash can be taken as a prove that bitcoin is not a scam and not a ponzi. If it was, it would have collapsed. No system that is designed to remove money from many and give it to just a few would be able to survive a downfall like we have seen. I think that the recent crash proves that bitcoin can be seen like a company. The shares can go up and down, but behind it stands a decent economical construct.

Hi,

Maybe one good solution is to try to adopt their point of view.

"Ok, let's say that bitcoin is a Ponzi. I have invested money in it, so I will certainly lose money. But there are some actual opportunities.."

Maybe this can help them to understand your point of view...

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.

Leave them be and mind your own business because that is their belief and the only thing you can do is prove them wrong by earning profit through bitcoin that we know is an opportunity to be rich.

High fees = low BTC price
i think that everything can happen.. but there are lots of people who are jealous of the people who earned great money on bitcoin)) and they are sitting and waiting for crypto world to go down)) that's for sure

An example of the greedy Bitcoin miners and development team needs to be made as it is already happening
because it has become a rip-off and other crypto-coins should rise to the top as this one falls.

I care not for excuses about transactions fees or introducing banker hubs in the Lightning network and we will
see democracy in action with good replacing the evil that Bitcoin has become.

Having to pay $55 to miners just to store 250 bytes of data last month is a scam as is the lightning network
that consists of banking hubs that the miners are running and it's all hidden from view and is not on the
block-chain

The Bitcoin apple has turned rotten not that this means other software development teams cannot
control there greed and remember most of them are miners too and are running this ponzi scam

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?

One of the things I've learned about crypto or Bitcoin is never to convince anyone about it unless they are really interested. Let them learn it themselves, you don't have to spoonfed them. If you're an investor keep it yourself, I do that so no one will blame me if the value dips and they panic sell because I suggested it to them.

Bitcoin becomes related to scams and ponzis because of the news from the mainstream media. Everytime bitcoin was being reported it appears to be something cannot be trusted. Instead of educating the viewers with right perspective, they instead brain wash them. Another thing why people look at it negatively is because the use of bitcoin is uncontrollable even illegal activities might be done using it.

Bitcoin also looks like a bubble, there is no assurance and the value is not stable. If only people will come to know it really well, they will realize that it is worth investing regardless of  what the people are saying.

Actually you don't really need to tell them and make them believe that bitcoin is not a ponzi and scam. We can't please anyone to believe about that but if you really want them to believe that bitcoin is not a scam but rather a good investment, you can explain everything you know about bitcoin, it's advantages and benefits that it can give. Also showing some evidences is a good proof that bitcoin is not like what they think it is.

People are afraid to get into another Ponzi scheme so they tell no to bitcoin. This is wrong. Bitcoin is a currency not a scheme, this kind of people should research more

You don't need to explain to them. If they didn't believe that bitcoin is not a scam let them see what you have and you can that bitcoin could give you much money to earn than them. Let them notify so late that they will say they regret that they don't believe you that bitcoin really exist.
