I'm trying to understand why are so many people against bitcoin?  is it the innovation that scares them? the feeling of staying behind? the fact that that money will go to the wrong hands?

I'm new to this crypto currency technology but so far I haven't met or encountered someone who really hates bitcoin. I think everybody loves bitcoin.

#many of those "many people" you see are not against bitcoin. they are actually heavily invested in it but they pretend otherwise. someone who is spreading FUD in 99% of the times wants the price to drop so he can either short bitcoin or because he has some buy orders placed ahead of time at certain low prices.

I'm trying to understand why are so many people against bitcoin?  is it the innovation that scares them? the feeling of staying behind? the fact that that money will go to the wrong hands?

Because they are not fully informed or educated about it. It is normal for many to be quite skeptical about things they don't understand. Because if they did, then they would have seen the great opportunities Bitcoin has to offer and the beauty of participating in such a system. We could not really blame them for being such and it is not something that can be forced.

This is absolutely right most people who have no knowledge in bitcoin are the people that hate/against bitcoin if they understand the system in bitcoin they will realize that bitcoin have a bright future for everyone and because of no information/knowledge in bitcoin many people that trying to invest in some ponzi scheme are fail to gain profit and turn their investment into scam.

Let me add some. There are also close minded person that thinks bitcoin is not a good currency even if how many times you educate them. There are a lot of people that even if you tell them the good side and the benefits you get from bitcoin, still they won't believe you and won't ever try it, simply because they're afraid of losing their money. They're not brave enough to take the risk. Others rely only on what the bank says about bitcoin. But of course, once they try to be part of bitcoin, they'll surely change their thoughts and never gonna hate bitcoin again.

Why are so many people against bitcoin? Many people against bitcoin its because they don't have any information about bitcoin. They are afraid to fools by other. They are scared from changes. And they don't want innovations.

Well I could definitely tell you that banks are against bitcoin since bitcoin is overcoming the bank's potential. Bitcoin has now been more accessible and easier. The only thing holding bitcoin back is the ability to transact faster and not to mention the transaction fees.

I think a lot of people just don't understand it, so they believe the negative rumors like it's a scam.

Can be jealous or afraid of bitcoin, because bitcoin may be able to beat the value of the country's currency. In general, bitcoins are tax-free, this makes governments and entrepreneurs who do not invest or disagree with bitcoin against bitcoin.

I think they are not jealous or afraid, ignorance it is and the other factor is, they invest and they fail to take profit.  Most failed investment especially in bitcoin happens when a person jump in and does not do any research about it, saw the market failing and easily got shaken and sold their holding at a lost, then hating Bitcoin for their entire life.  Others is personal agenda.

Yes I think some people are against bitcoin, but there are others that are not actually against it, but they are skeptical about it. They don't know or they have no idea about it. People are afraid to something they don't understand. Also, maybe some of them are just scared of changes and just comfortable in their safe zone. They don't want to try new things.

Most people don't understand what is bitcoin. They think simple. Somebody told them it is bad because... And most people will not research it. They want simple answers. Most of us actually don't understand what are blockchain and smart-contracts at all. Let's be honest. Wink Theese technologies based on: math, economic, sociology, psyhology and many different topics. It is hard to figured it out quick, it takes a lot of time. And also people can be easily scared by the terms: "bubble", "ponzi theme" etc.

It's normal to people feel scared about the innovation and how this can change the world. The same thing happened with the computer, internet, smartphone, etc. But, we have to ask yourself, what do we gain with this kind of reaction? Only waste time. It's time to open our eyes to this revolution, and join the progress throw propthereum.io

You know, sometimes, people hear blockchain and think bitcoin, and then think "a bubble". Meaning, these are three different words beginning with a 'B' with totally different meaning, but a lot of people just don't get it. So my answer is: they just don't always understand what they are talking about. Like in 1993 parents would discourage their children from working in internet projects because 'it's just porn'. Nowadays we are in the same state of mind phase towards bitcoin and blockchain. This will pass. Soon.

There are may be two kind of people- one kind of are those who have lack of knowledge on bitcoi, crypto currency and other kind of are governments who are too much greedy to let people have their financial freedom.
