Lol I always laughing when peoples (I mean friends) see me doing some bitcoin job, like faucet, trading, or posting here in this forum. They think I'm doing something Ponzi scam and waste my time.

Same thing happens with most of the country people. In my country too only very few heard of it, thinks it as a scheme and not a technology boom. I think let them stand on their own decision but will understand when bitcoin reaches majority citizens in every nation.

It is also happen to me, every time i try to convince or when they saw me doing something related to bitcoin they will say i am doing illegal things, it is so hard to convince them because they were more believe in news rather than my words, but it is their lost if they dont want to involve in crypto currencies, in the future cryto currencies will become trend and great investment

My parents used to scold me whenever they saw me in front of the internet way back when i was starting to know about bitcoin.  I tried to explain to them the reason why I am so busy with reading stuff and told them about bitcoin.  They told me that it was non-sense and that i must take care of our  small business to at least take profit not just wasting my time into something stupid like bitcoin.  But eventually i convinced them that bitcoin is worth investing.

People around me don't really care for bitcoin, they've seen some news about blockchain and it's possibilities but even then don't fully understand it. When I make some btc and take family/friends to dinner they're surprised I made it with bitcoin and other crypto-currencies.

it's like that, most people are now scared because some people have lost their bitcoin. it is difficult, we have to constantly reassure that bitcoin is a currency that is safe to use.

People around me, have no idea about bitcoin. In family or fellows or friends, no one has even heard about this as of yet. But its mostly because they don't use the internet for trading or even shopping much. I think its hard to tell someone about bitcoin who is not trading online. Because to them it won't be of much benefit.

in fact there are many people who say that bitcoin is simply a scam that could make you bankrupt. Well, I heard people around me talking about bitcoin. I just feel that they do not have the courage to try something new. perhaps, they prefer to listen to it from people than to try it yourself. I feel that their knowledge of bitcoin is still very little

They tell me too that I'm wasting my time, they don't believe that I'm earning on it but when I bought a phone and told them it came from bitcoin they still doubt it could be possibly until they see the bitcoin value when converted in our currency.

So, what do people around you (relatives, co-workers, co-ed, friends...) think about Bitcoin ? Please, indicate your country, so this way I'll be able to make a synthesis about what people think about Bitcoin.

For me : I come from France. My relatives think that it's criminals' tool and that since they can't touch money they don't trust it (note that those same persons are pro-banks, where you can't touch money). My friends think that it is useless and that it has no future. Both of them agree that scare them the most is the Bictoin's price volatibility.

So not so positive Undecided. I hope that you aren't in the same situation.

Bitcoin in my country was a piece of shit only like a scam investment, that was according to the majority citizens in my country. But some of the company we had here like multi level marketing they at touch  and bitcoin in their system to attract the other'e to join in into their company as their own business.

People around me are ignorant of bitcoin.  They don't know that such thing exist.  People are in my area are simply do their everyday lives by playing poker games and at the same time gossiping about peoples lives.  It is sad that when something important you want to share to them, they just look at you like an alien and does not take interest rather keep continue on what they do.

Today I explained about bitcoin, everyone are highly skilled as well working for different MNC's with hands on experience. I got astonished when they said they don't have any idea regarding it. Later on I started explaining it to them. I expect at least two of them will start using it soon.
Wow, really a great performance. Recently I met my old school friends and with one of them I had talked about bitcoin and adopting bitcoin. Surprisingly he asked me what is bitcoin prices right now because when I explained him bitcoin was trading around $250 price levels. He got surprised with current prices, hopefully he will start adopting bitcoins.

People around me are really difficult to deal with. They see me as someone who is doing something illegal by having an idea about Bitcoin but they want to know about it, yet they dont want to take the risk. So what I do is simply do my thing in my own way and leave them to be curious about what I am doing and making money... Hopefully, they get to be ready to take the step in due time...

You would definitely have a hard time convincing people that you're not doing anything illegal in the bitcoin world and you've worked really hard to get all of your earnings. There are times when getting a good amount of bitcoin is really easy to do (i.e. participating in an altcoin bounty and then the coin got pumped up) but you wouldn't be able to do that if you didn't study before, if you didn't possess all of the necessary requirements. Just continue what you're doing and don't care about them. You don't need a validation from them to become successful in life anyway.

My family see and some of my close friends see it as an opportunity for them to earn. The only thing is that my parents can only see the product of mine being in this industry(helping them and being independent in terms of financial). Yet on the side of my friend i also explain everything when they asked me about it.Some of them find it awesome in terms of (lesser fees ,anonymity and P2P transactions)

In my country unfortunately 1% people doesn't know much about bitcoin.Though bitcoin is popular crypto but here bitcoin mostly unknown.Again, some months ago, few bad peoples did illegal activities by bitcoin and for that our country banned bitcoin.That's why our people thought bitcoin is a that kind of crypto which is use to do illegal activities.

They think it's unsafe, and being virtual makes it the most disadvantageous feature because you never know when it can stop working or so. This is the reason for which I want to play on different fields: precious metals, currencies and real estate. Having more options lowers the chance you got to lose your investments.
They think so not because they are stubborn or wrong but actually because they don't know how it works, In fact if someone introduces me bitcoins and tell that they are virtual and untraceable then I would also worry but knowing that actually everything is controlled by us only and there is no owner then that brings confidence.
By the way people around me think its a tool for gambling  Shocked
