They are against with bitcoin maybe because other people used bitcoin to scam others and other who used it in a goodway are affected because other might think they are also one of the scammers. And somehow mayve they see bitcoin as a threat that someday might become a reason why there are arguments between other people in a world.

#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 think a lot of people haven't taken the time to understand what it is. But, in the coming years more and more people will be introduced to it. Showed my dad a documentary of Bitcoin last night. He seems less against it now Tough.

#No one is actually against Bitcoin. It's either them having missed out and thus are heavily disappointed, which in some cases can turn into a form of hate. Or they lack the knowledge to understand something, wich again can turn into a form of hate. In both cases it's nothing more than a lame attempt to cover that person's own weakness/stupidity/ignorance - that directly goes up for banks and governments as well.

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?


Perhaps they do not fully understand the whole idea of bitcoin and other crypto currency. Peope are often concerned about their security and convenience. Maybe they don't see bitcoin as convenient and safe yet. That is the reason that I see why they are reluctant.

I think that every ay there is more and more supporters of Bitcoin. Of coure there will always be people who are against new things that they do not understand but I think that this amount of people is not really so big.
Yes that's the point they don't unserstand bitcoin because they don't have any idea about it. They lack knowledge about bitcoin because they don't want to waste their time into something they are not sure about. Those people will be regretting not searching  about it first before coming to a conclusion.

I agree with you, people who does not support bitcoin are against with it and they are just too little in their numbers.  Maybe just 1 out of thirty people do not like bitcoin.  The simple reason is that they do not know and do not understand what is bitcoin.  Besides some are against to it because they do not know how to start because they are very afraid.  They are afraid to try having a risk with bitcoin and as a result they are just against with it.  Just get out of their shells try to invest in bitcoin and they will surely love bitcoin after that.

I think that there are many banks against it because they are afraid to lose their people to bitcoin. This is normal because if i was a bank owner i will do everything to stop bitcoin.

I would manipulate the people thinking that bitcoin can make you lose all your money.

I think those many people just don't see the potential of bitcoin but i don't think that they are against bitcoin maybe theyre just still unaware of bitcoin, so as a bitcoin holder i think it's our responsibility to tell them and explain how bitcoin really works so that they will realize how important bitcoin is.

It maybe because of lack of knowledge for crypto currency. Or they can't  hold or have control of their actual investment or actual money. They can see it in the screen but they can't actually see where the money goes. But usually it is that they couldn't gain control over btc no matter how much they put in. Just my 2 cents.

Many people are against bitcon because of the following:
First, they don’t believe in bitcon itself
Second, they think it is a kind of scam or fraud.
Third, they want to control the bitcon
Fourth, they want to destroy bitcoin create same as bitcoin
Fifth, they don’t want to earn money in bitcoin

The fact that they don't understand how does the industry work. Some people tend to get envious and starting to hate the things that they can't understand, Bitcoin has a quite complex industry in which at some point they tend not to proceed. Also, fake news contributes to downsizing the reputation of Bitcoin in which these people who accuse Bitcoin as a scam and all the transactions are illegal makes potential and existing investors to leave and de-motivated to proceed because they're now afraid of what's going to happen with them after hearing such news.

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?

A webisite known as "Motley fool" recently published an article titled 4 Reasons I’ll Never Invest in Bitcoin. Its arguments are that:
Its anonymity is its own worst enemy.
If global governments discover that criminals or terrorists are using bitcoin to fund their activities — and at present there are very few checks and balances in place to weed out this sort of behavior — it could prompt a crackdown. If governments around the world instituted regulations that made it difficult to own bitcoin, we could see prices plunge.

It's response to this was that...
Yes, this is entirely possible. As I’ve talked about many times before, governments hate any form of currency that they can’t track, control, and tax. They hate cash and they hate cryptocurrencies even more. It’s entirely possible that some governments will make bitcoin illegal, though it’s just as likely that they’ll do what Japan did, and just surrender to it because so many people are using it.

Regardless, let’s say your government made bitcoin illegal. So what? Marijuana is illegal in most countries. Does that mean people don’t use it? Does that mean the price of marijuana is low?

Hell no! Indeed, many years ago, before marijuana became legal in my state, I strongly considered being a distributor. This was because I was seeing guys make as much as $4000 per day supplying this stuff. The fact that it was illegal drove the price up, not down.

So, if bitcoin becomes illegal in your country (which is a big “if”), you’ll still be able to buy it, and it’s value might actually go up.

I personally think that governments will eventually be forced to accept the concept of cryptocurrencies the same way the US government has had to accept both marijuana and guns; there’s just too many people owning and using these things for them to ever be made illegal in any practical way. Bitcoin (or some other crypto like Ethereum) will be the same.
I agree with you if too many people own those things than even the government can do nothing anymore because if the majority of people invests and have bitcoins then how can someone from the government be bale to ban it nobody would like that and there would be protests.

i see many reson why other people against in bitcoin maybe because it is used by some people doing bad activities. we know that it is happen in fact the bitcoin crime is still up in the FBI . and the one reason that i see is being in the internet. because the bitcoin is alive only in online the others think that it is scam only because many in only was scam only.
