Some people are just being fed at what they see in the news, and the funny thing is that many people that has been shouting if bitcoin being a scam actually has never had an experience of scam in their life, and some might not even know what the whole blockchain technology is about, which is why we think that we need to educate people more on the use of blockchain itself and how it is related to bitcoin for them to understand that bitcoin was never meant to scam people.

It is only people that took advantage of the system to create bad characters out of it in which bitcoin is not the only system that is being used to perpetuate such act, the fiat is also used for fraudulent cases too. If they want to really know what bitcoin is for and understand that it is not used for fraud, we should get regulation, then the real effect of bitcoin will be fully shown.

what do you think about finding people like that and how will you react to them?
never mind, they are people who do not understand technology and may always watch the FUD on the news. IMO they are just wasting their chance to get a chance to utilize one of the best technologies on the internet. Well, I feel like they only play tiktok or something. Who would have thought that bitcoin was a tool for fraud or the current Ponzi scheme? come on, I think they need more education than just seeing FUDs spread out there.

I always find people who think that Bitcoin or cryptocurrency assets are busting money and sometimes there are people who always assume that investing in bitcoin is fraught with hacker risk.
on the other hand I cannot assume that their opinions are wrong, but on the other hand I cannot justify their statements.
I always think that people who have opinions like that are people who don't really know about blockchain technology, or they just read from one of the articles that happens to provide news about a "dark" case in bitcoin, so they often assume that bitcoin is a range against hackers and scam.

what do you think about finding people like that and how will you react to them?
If ever I will meet one, I wouldn't mind wasting my time explaining to them that what they believe is definitely a lie. Bitcoin is not a scam and we all know that, informing those who has their ears closed is such a huge waste of time and energy, they don't really know what they are missing out. They will be those people who will be the most regretful when the time come that bitcoin gets to the very top and become legalized all over the world.

People simply call btc as scam supporting blockchain but they should understand blockchain is so famous it is only because of bitcoin transactions
This is given that people call btc as a scam. And we know that we cannot please everyone on what they think about bitcoin. Some people use btc as an instrument to scam and they should be aware of how to manage this kind of situation. Indeed they should understand how blockchain transactions work and if they will understand they will know that bitcoin has many to offer and it’s good features.
That's their appreciation and we can make some twist to that if they would like to listen to us and even tried to look deeper inside what Bitcoin or crypto be meant to us right now. We can't live to that argument if they still pursuing that it was a scam rather than to set aside and let them find in some other ways to know more about. Will have to respect them either, we know already the importance of bitcoin and it sounds like we are the one to give them the way and think differently.

Bitcoin does not, cheat,
This statement is a little wrong with people who have experienced darkness.
Cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, is a form of digital asset, which is traded in hundreds of well-known and ordinary markets.

There are official markets and some are not official, there are 100% security guarantees and security is also weak.

This is a very big problem faced by bitcoin investments and bitcoin trading. by the customer.
So it's not Bitcoin that cheats, the Bitcoin investment market must be really safe and controlled, if this is guaranteed certain people will definitely experience security and avoid fraud.

Some of them knows bitcoin at first that is only use for crime , we dont need to blame them or get pity them because of what they are thinking. Just tell them the advantages of it, it could be for long term and short term investment, for purchasing online goods and all the rest will follow. Know their reason too before judge them, then educate them.
If people are having a negative judgement about bitcoin without even knowing what it is all about how can we change their misinterpretation who has no interest about the new market nor interested to know about it and all they know and hear is the negative news, bitcoin as a financial asset is well documented several time in many financial magazines about the market and still they are least bothered to understand it, then it is better to leave them alone.

I am the type of person who does not like to argue where what he says has a point, even though my understanding is also true. Cryptocurrency does not have proprietary letters so the risk of hackers is correct but not a scam. Bitcoin was also initially built on people's trust, that's the benefit of peer-to-peer transactions. Everyone can see the point of view where the point of view is comfortable for them.
Likewise, we cannot blame those people who will say that Bitcoin is a scam as there are lots of scam out there using Bitcoin as a tool to get fund from the people, so their mindset will be negative and we cannot force them to believe unless they will see, do research and conduct investigation at their own discretion.

There are two parts to this. There are people who claim that Bitcoin is a scam, just like the various HYIPs and Ponzi/Pyramid schemes out there. And there are groups of people out there who claims that it is very difficult to store Bitcoin on your own, as there is a very high chance that they can get stolen. These two are entirely different topics and should be treated as such.

Now does anyone still believe that Bitcoin is a Ponzi? BTC has been in existence for more than 10 years, and if it was actually a ponzi scheme, then it wouldn't have survived for this long. Typical pyramid schemes last for only a few weeks, or a few months at the most. Now coming to the security part, I have been using BTC for 7 years now and till now no one has managed to hack in to my wallets. Take the basic security precautions and you should be fine.

It cannot be denied that some may think btc as scam. If that is their notion, I may not convince them to reverse their belief but I may say that it cannot harm them directly if they will try. They must know that every investment is risky and sometimes uncertain. We must or should invest amount that we can risk to loss.
In order to help them understand what bitcoin and crypto is, we should know to explain little by little without them feeling that we are forcing them to understand it (Though, we're not really forcing them). To understand it clearly, respond when they need it. That means, if someone needs help, help them but incorporate crypto on it. I have an experience that my friend, a non crypto users really need a money, since he's my friends, I helped him but I ask him to open up a wallet for me to help. Him, now knowing that is crypto, tried it. Soon he asked me what technology is that, and then explain.

Most of the time, people want the result, a result that can be seen by the eye, not just a mere thoughts explaining all over again which they might find distressful.

Saying that something is a scam because there's a risk that you can be hacked is retarded. I could say banks are a scam because there's a risk someone hacks your account and steals the money. They don't even reimburse people who fell victim of phishing and gave hackers access to their bank accounts.

It's not that different from Bitcoin. I'd say it's even worse because the bank is a third party under risk of bankruptcy.

Misinformation is common with Bitcoin. First time you hear about bitcoin you ask what is this and get a tonn of inacurate answers and articles full of lies, having nothing to do with the technology or the fundamentals.
Sadly you need to spent enough hours just to find a proper source to read. Most people don't have enought time to figure out if it is worth it.
Before you found out the whitepape, you probably listened about Bitcoin from the news, probably calling it a scam or a pump and dump scheme, or worse connecting it with criminal activities and hacking.
Most of the times the news coverage is bad for bitcoin, making it look shady in the minds of their viewers.

I would just send some Bitcoins in his wallet and then let the things grow on their own because no one can actually do this thing , you just have to grow on this thing on your own , also I would tell them how everything works and how you can actually earn with bitcoins , with trading and with signature campaigns and such .
Also it's just the people who never used Bitcoin who consider bitcoins a scam .

I just like this your idea of sending some bitcoin into those ignorant individuals who are against bitcoin to show the practicality of it through their wallet and perhaps when btc pumped right there in their presence then I believed they will have a change in perception of the what bitcoin is all about and possibly changed their negative orientation about bitcoin being a scam.
This issue of classifying bitcoin as scam have been raging for long I believed this is right time we start putting people through to the positive aspect of bitcoin.

It is their idea, just respect it. It is their loss and not ours, bitcoin can be risky due to susceptibility of being scammed or hacked, but if you know what you are doing you can lessen the risk of it. Most people who get scammed or backed are those who think bitcoin is an easy way to get money. They invest in anything that promises great return without checking it, the impression they make or have is due to their own fault.

What they think about bitcoin doesn't matter, what matters is how would I react to them and to what I'm hearing from them. It was said that dogs bark to those they don't know, so it will be natural if a non-crypto people would say ill descriptions and perceptions about bitcoin because what they know is only the surface of what bitcoin is all about. and will only listen to what they wanna hear and talk about whatbthey thought they know. I won't get myself into some nonsense argument especially if I know that the person's capability of accepting new and different perspectives isn't as high as the information they are about to absorb.
