i am really curious about what opinion from people out there when they know from january 2017 until august 2017, bitcoin price start rising to almost $44xx if i am not wrong (maybe the highest price i know). because i see in my city, people don't care about this and they don't interesting but once i read on local newspaper, there are article that giving info about bitcoin price which is increase so high.
but in the last two days ago, i meet new person. he asked me what my activity when i am online. i tell him that i work as writer, trader, and i made money from bitcoin. first he don't believe when i say bitcoin price in the year 2015 (which i knew bitcoin for first time) is $2xx-$300 but suddenly this year, the price is jump too high and now we see the price is some around in $4xxx.
i give suggestion to him to invest his money in bitcoin but don't buy the whole bitcoin but do it like $100 for every month for 6 month and only hold it without learning anything about bitcoin, just save it. i think he is interesting but he said he need to learn to make sure about this. well actually i don't take too serious about this, if he really wants to do it, then he is a lucky guy that i've meet but if its not, then he got his choice.
so, what is happen in your places related with bitcoin? did people still don't care about bitcoin? and how about if you meet someone new and then you make conversation and you telling him that you are trying to make money from bitcoin? what he's respond?
It seems to me that a lot of people are still relatively ignorant when it comes to bitcoin.
They either think that it is a ponzi scheme of some sort, or a bubble(which they are correct to some degree but they think that bitcoin price is inflated no matter what, even if it was at $100 apiece).
But the recurring theme seems to be ignorance, and/or just "i dunno anything about bitcoin".
Don't try to force feed the idea to them, it's their loss for not listening to you. In the end, these are the same people that will invest in bitcoin to hedge against inflation and use it as a currency, and people who held their bitcoins before them will benefit from the surge in demand.
yeah i will not force them to follow my way, its their decision but i bet that if somehow bitcoin price is jump to the moon and reach the highest price in this year and they know by their own, they will regret and they can not buy even for small part of bitcoin.
i think its because the bad news from people which is not responsible in bitcoin, for example, like you said, they made ponzi scheme programs, after they got money from their members, they run away and their member is thinking that the owner and bitcoin is related but actually it is not.
if this is continue happen then i think the government will not allow bitcoin to be use for payment and they will forbid people to use bitcoin and maybe they will banned bitcoin from their country. i wish that in future, there will be enlightenment for people so they know about the truth of bitcoin and maybe it is like courses which giving a lesson about bitcoin.
