Most of them don't care about it. Either they don't know, or in the cases they do know, they think it is affiliated with the (Russian) Maffia.
The Bitcoin Foundation need to do a better PR job.

Ok, everyone, thank you to have replied me. It seems that the problems that suffer Bitcoin are the same worldwide.
Eh, the ones that know about bitcoin are skeptical and the other half doesn't know about it.
Whenever I have mentioned it which I rarely do, they never understand it and don't see the point because they live on their little world of mindless amazon consumption and mall shopping. Let them miss out on being an early adopter.
This is what I should of quoted to the exact T for my friends and coworkers....
Live in the US. Most my family and friends think I'm playing with funny money... I try to talk to people about it but I have found not many are willing to take the time to learn. Have had a few co workers ask questions but no one has taken the plung yet.
Either it's over their head or they don't wan to unplug from the system is what I think. Someday, SOMEDAY they will see

I find it difficult to explain it to people in a simple way. So I think they are mostly confused about it.
Usually I just give up trying to explain all the technical aspects and say it's magic internet money

Same here Dude, most people think here in our place is that Bitcoin is a scam, they don't really understand how it really works. explaining about hashing. etc
I live in Indonesia it's so beautiful country . Honestly, people around me still minim known about bitcoin. I have been knowing bitcoin no more then five month ago. So, my friend or people around me don't have any negative opinions about bitcoin
Very few people I know understand much about Bitcoin, and they have no intention on learning more about it. I do have one friend however who is looking it up, he hadn't heard of Bitcoin before that. So I guess that's a small victory.
I'm irritated by how some of the people I know think of Bitcoin, they think it is overall useless and will likely not have much use in the real world or in the future.
They also think that signature campaigns are moronic because you earn less than minimum wage, but I always tell them that you're still earning money in the off time between your actual job, and you get to do something you enjoy. Of course this means nothing to them...

funny internet money, it could work, are you millionaire yet?
it's mixed. i have introduced bitcoin to a few friends and family members, i guess 10-15 people in total, but only 3 of them are using it from time to time. the others will give bitcoin a chance, but only if there is no volatility anymore.
Most of them dont know anything about it.
the one knows about it dont care/dont use it.

They think it's a waste of time with how it fluctuates in price.
My roommtes and co worker think bitcoin as a passive income for me it is real money that i can spend
I ever heard some of my friends dont want to touch the bitcoin because its a terrorist currency, devil money
But for me anything can become good and bad it is just depend on how you earn it and how you spend it

After speaking with one to many friends about it over the years and watching them stare into space without a clue I decided to stop. I'm in Europe. Recently though I have started having people trying to speak to me about it, I'll be honest I don't bother. 'The end of money as we know it' is being watched and waking many up. Those who understand the banks control usually end up down the bitcoin path in the end just a matter of time.
There are only a couple of people in my network who know about Bitcoin, and they learned about it from news reports about Silk Road and all of this other stuff. They think it's a plaything of criminals exclusively. And while I am a Bitcoin supporter, I have a hard time trying to explain bitcoin's advantages, because I'm not so certain about them myself.
my peeps talk about it like its a fad or trend so they will talk about it as tho they were the first to hear about it ,but when they find out ive been in it for years , they change the subject . its just a conversation starter for most. and they butcher what bitcoin is when they try to explain it.
They think it's all BS and I sort of understand really, I'm not a fanatic and I can see their arguments. I don't really talk much about it since it's not a huge part of my life, it's just an investment for me in part. On the other hand I really like the idea and feel it is something special, but I'm not convinced Bitcoin is the final form, just the first steps into something greater.
But most of them are just stupied.I mean they bearly have a clue how money really works.Isn't that disappointing?
This is like "you get teached what you have to know and that's it".Crazy!
Young people are easily influenced, later in life some of them will become more critical. This is like "you get teached what you have to know and that's it".Crazy!
They think i'm wasting my time, as I always spend most of my time on this forum. Already accumulated 12.5 hours 
But I think i'm doing well. I'm learning, am I not?
