Topic: What do people around you think about Bitcoin ? - page 46. (Read 42995 times)

Well thats sad. Bitcoin not only so not one world currency, its the opposite, its decentralized.

The most of people around me they just think that bitcoin won't be stable and it is not really sure what will happen to bitcoin.
That is why they are not using it. So I don't mind if they don't, but is just sad that I only know a few of people that use bitcoin.

I think when you're asking this question that you shouldn't just ask for what country people who are answering your question are from.  That is way too broad and you need to be able to narrow it down into what section or area in their country they are from, because there are simply way too many people with different opinions in a country.

Case in point:
I'm from the USA, but not just the US... I'm from the South where there are tendencies to be way more conservative in ideologies and on top of that, way more religious (Christian). The people I have come across that has heard of bitcoin tend to 1) not understand it; or 2) fear it.  They don't really take the time to learn about it, because it is so revolutionary and goes against the status quo, and since they tend to be more conservative, want to stay with what's the norm and believe that nothing can beat the Dollar because of the "'Mericca! Fuck yeah!" thinking people here tend to have.

People also fear it, because a lot of people that I have talked too have this belief that this is the sign of the "rapture" or "Armageddon".  If you don't understand or have read the bible before, there is the "book of revelations" that say one of the signs to tell Armageddon is around the corner is the establishment of a one world government and a one world currency, which obviously bitcoin looks to be that currency.  So I get people saying to me all the time that I'm supporting essentially Armageddon to happen, and that if I keep "going down this road" that I'm "going to hell".

So yeah, it's a little frustrating trying to talk to people about this kind of stuff here because of the lack of knowledge about what Bitcoin could bring to the table as an economic savior.

Probably on a third world country, I also live on a third world country and on our province people were so primitive. They don't have any idea what a smartphone or a computer is. What more to internet and bitcoin

Even if they heard about it they know bitcoin as a dirty money or money used by thiefs and other suspicious things, well stopping now will be maybe good but not good for the popularity of bitcoin.

Yes, when I too talk about bitcoin to some people, they are showing more interest till I talk about buying bitcoins. They are ready to work in faucet earning and joining this forum for knowledge gain.
Firstly we need to be selective on choosing a person to talk about bitcoin. He must be already familiar with at least one of the followings: internet/email/Paypal/internet banking.

they think bitcoin is just like a money, they'd use it for payment proceccor, pay a bills, and another commercials purpose,most of them dont want to know more further about bitcoin

Very true. Pretty much al my co-workers have no idea what Bitcoin is, and if I ever try to explain it to them, they never seem to understand. So after a long time of trying hard, I have decided to stop.

DUDE. Where the hell do you live? If the people around you don't what the internet is, are you in like some dodgy neighbourhood or country.

People around me don't think about bitcoin, mostly no information about bitcoin, but the time will come and will understand what is bitcoin.

Some of my friends really love to use Bitcoin and some of them are the people that introduced me to Bitcoin. Some of my other friends really like to hate on Bitcoin, I just don't listen to what they have to say about it because I absolutely love it.

I dont know really. We sometimes talk about it, but they dont have any opinion. Couple of my friends have adapted it though. Otherwise if i tell about bitcoin to somebody new, they are generally interested about it.

half of my neighbors don't even know what internet is, and the rest of them never heard about btc, maybe few of them but they think it is a scam or something

It is catching on and staying strong.  Think about it, it is now worth over 40 times more than what it started at and it keeps going up.  The more people who take it, the more it will be worth!!  Get everyone you know to accept Bitcoin!!

Nobody around me really cares. I've talked to some people about it, you know just casually mention something about bitcoin.

They just don't seem to be interested enough to ask more about it or find out more about it.

The people around me think it's a waste of time some of them want me to buy stuff for them thinking it's easy to get and the rest think it's a scam. Yeah my crowd is weird 

I have friends that are tech savvy and they are using it on a daily basis and others that simply don't care about computer money.

You are just trying to help your friends by educating them about Bitcoin but unfortunately if they don't understand its value then surely they gonna regret it in the future but here my friends are very curious and more interested to learn about Bitcoin.

I would like to correct you on this, bitcoin do have a physical form , casascius coins were one good example (I think there are more but I don't know how its called). I also find it kinda hard to explain though


This is the future

i dont have same situation with you,people around me always respect about what i'm doing,and so when i introduce bitcoin to them,they just know that bitcoin can traded with money,and they have not matter with that.
