They don't really think that much.. Because they have never bothered to actually find out what it is.

It just means that they are not interested in bitcoin..Probably they are not in front of their computer the whole day...Most of those who are working in real life day job, might not be interested in bitcoin as they are earning big enough..

I do not think so. Because Bitcoin can be more flexible to be a part-time or just for time pass also. I have seen many full-time job holders are very much interested and doing with the Bitcoin investment very keenly.

The people around me ignore many facts about Bitcoin and crypto currencies in general

I tried with some friends to teach them how it works

past year my brother said bitcoin is scam, but now he have more bitcoin than me.

That's a big change and shows you how bitcoin is already on the move and gaining new grounds, I think allot of the new bitcoiner's had negative first impression because of the media then in contact with bitcoin and saw how different it is.

That's the miracle of bitcoin a lot of people out there said that bitcoin is a coin scam they stated this for no reason. they do this because they do not know what is bitcoin
your brother is an example he knew the bitcoin. arbitrarily surely people would be interested in bitcoin
first people must understand what is bitcoin

most of my friends think that bitcoin is just a huge waste of time and money lol. ive tried telling them that bitcoin is just like any other currency but just more volatile than the others. the argument that they make is that bitcoin is used for tons of illegal things and i cant really argue with that.

Tell them that before creating Bitcoin which currency is used for illegal purposes ? it's fiat and cash of course , and till now fiat is used a lot more than Bitcoin for this illegal activities, so there is no logical reason to accuse Bitcoin for this thing

I remember mentioning about Bitcoin to an old friend and he said to me: "Bitcoin is here to destroy the economy of the US. To destroy our economy." I was speechless.

Sheeple quote of the day.

I live in Spain.

I have found that people that don't know about Bitcoin or have barely heard of it are quite receptive and seem enthusiastic about the idea. I am talking about non-techie people.

Technical people ask too many questions and look with disbelief.

A few weeks ago I struggled at work. I mentioned Bitcoin in a coffee break and one of my workmates turned into a monster in rage as I never seen him before. It was really weird. He seemed so pissed off with the Bitcoin thing. I tried to explain things to him or even changing the subject but he was furious.

Our relationship at work has never been the same after this.

Sometimes it feels frustrating I cannot talk about Bitcoin with anyone. It seems like a really sensitive topic.

I have had a few good experiencies but very few when talking about Bitcoin. People that have a fixed idea about economy aren't good targets to talk about Bitcoin in my experience.

85% of people I know were not at all familiar with bitcoin. Very few people can tell what is mining what is faucets, or any other way to earn or spend bitcoins. My friends just dont know what its bitcoin, but after I showed money I got from bitcoins they start to create a different opinion.
I think that this year will be the start of a truly wide adoption of bitcoin, I see people around talk more and more about it. For me that is a clear sign that bitcoin is on a good way.

70% of the people I know are full time bitcoin professionals, so nearly everyone around me "gets it." That includes family members and etc

Most of my friends aren't "bitcoin" fanatics in particular, but the general consensus among us is that the 'blockchain' is the holy grail and could quite possibly be the most powerful creation in human history, what with how it has already wrestled the power of value creation away from the "powers that be" and put that power directly into the hands of individuals

my co-workers didn't even know about bitcoin, and i have recently brought up the subject with them and introduced bitcoin by telling them all about it.
but i wasn't so successful in convincing them of the goodness of bitcoin

already convinced some people around me that Bitcoin is real money and useful, legal currency and they changed their minds about this..

The people around me don't know much about Bitcoin, so most likely they think that it's just a virtual currency not a real money.

Just like what we felt when we know bitcoin at the first time, am I right? Grin

I was thinking the same when I heard about bitcoin more than a year ago, but because I'm interested to know more so I decided to learn more.
Once people interested to know more, then they will learn. Otherwise, they will never care about it even though we try to introduce it to someone else.

Yes i agree with you, when i still new about bitcoin i also think bitcoin is not worth and a scam. But when i know what is bitcoin, i interested on bitcoin. That's why we should make people interested on bitcoin, so people around us will think bitcoin is worth it.

it's very difficult to get non tech people that have been brain washed by the media to give bitcoin a fair chance. if we want to reach user growth throughout the years, then we need these average joes to enter the bitcoin economy. it will be a real challenge getting them to give bitcoin a try. it costs only 30 minutes or even less to know the very basic things about bitcoin. there are very informative videos on youtube that explain bitcoin in easy to understand language. they just have to set the first step.

I told about Bitcoins to some of my friends. Just one of them started to use it, mainly just faucets and then he just stopped using it after he lost all those Satoshis in Gambling (Dice games). The others didn't realize that it is "real" money and considered it just "virtual". I have earned 0.3 BTC and my friends have 0 !

I introduced Bitcoin to some of my friends but they never took any actions. I guess probably they feel it's too late to the game now. While my relatives prefer real estates to bitcoin as investment, they want something that is real..

Most of my friends and family don't know Bitcoin. The ones that know, thinks Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme or something not trustfull. They are the same that supports the governments decisions and don't know the causes for inflation and other economical problems. In fact, they are ignorants...
