Well we both know that some people or set of group will hate bitcoin because bitcoin have it way of helping the rich and common people. Another reason why those people are against bitcoin is because bitcoin is decentralized and they want it to be centralize so they can have their cut.
it is also difficult if there is such a desire, the one who wants to monopolize a thing that will surely end with
not comfort because of it itself so yes such a person should be quick aware

Probably jealous that they can’t afford to get in now

That doesn't really make sense. Bitcoin is insanely divisible by nature, from where people could buy even $50 worth of Bitcoin without any problems. More likely is the fact that the market has gone up so much in recent times, that people get discouraged to invest in Bitcoin because they think it's too late. Funny thing is that people were thinking like that when the price reached the $1000 level, the $2000, etc. If people for that reason look down on Bitcoin, or don't think it has any purpose or potential, then they are nothing more than a bunch of idiots.

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 honestly can not think of anybody who does not benefit from bitcoin! even banks that some people say are against bitcoin or bitcoin is against them are happy about bitcoin. not only bitcoin introduced blockchain technology to them to improve their business but also it has opened up new ways for banks to make money. banks are in fact making a lot of money because of bitcoin, all these traders are using banks to handle their money transfers and there are lots of them Cheesy


which you say is true. I agree

so many people are pressing to make panic. they will hunt with a lower value.

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?


These kind of people are ignorant so as much as possible, don't talk to them unless needed. They are close minded so you don't have to explain anything to them. My advise is to let them say what they want. Let them talk more about bitcoins. Just keep quiet and enjoy the unstoppable success of your investment in bitcoins.

People are against bitcoin first is because they thought it was not real or maybe its just a scam. Especially for those people who are lack of knowledge about it. Next is the government and bank are also against it because they afraid fhat they cant controlled it and also because of its price is not stable like the foat currency. Also because of the negative issues that are spreading in the social media that makes people lost there trust on it.

I think one of the factors why there are people who are against to bitcoin is they think that bitcoin should be legalize by their government first before they believe in it. Another factor is they don't have knowledge about bitcoin, and they don't believe in digital currencies.

Because people thought that bitcoin is scam but it is not, mostly the Government is the one who hates it for example is china , they have banned ICO crowd funding with their own personal reason. The other reason is they been scammed for so many times that is why it change their perspective on bitcoin.
Still there are some people against bitcoin. I mean they can't trust it. They think that it is spam or else. But it's not.  They don't know bitcoins benefit. I think they r foolish.

Trust issues is important thing but I believe most of the trust issues is only due to bankers, governmental offices clerks and other people with (not so) hidden interests.

A lot of people are against bitcoin especially banks and the government. They hate the fact that bitcoin is decentralized and it can't be controlled or be taken over. They are fearing the growth of it especially banks because it can defeat some of the purposes of banks like money storage.

They are skeptic of bitcoins. There goes the saying that if it's too good to be true, it would be a scam. I cannot blame them. They are not that kind of people who accepts the risks and wait for a long time. They are the kind of people who work from 9 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon. When you invest in bitcoins, you need patience and timing. That is what they don't fully understand.
i agree. People are afraid of what they dont  understand. In addition to that, media coverage of bitcoin is quite on the negative side. Plus the comments made by the banking leaders, people who do not understand will really be against it.
there is a lot of negative feedback about bitcoin they are afraid to go on the situation that they must regret for they thought a lot negative on bitcoin especially on people that dont have any knowledge about bitcoin so for us that have a knowledge here in crypto world of bitcoin we must share all positive here for all the negative are stay away from bitcoin for them to believe.

Really many are against bitcoin? Because to the people where I introduce bitcoin none of them is against it infact after they have learn the benefit I gain from bitcoin and doing signature campaigns all of them ask me to teach them because they all want to earn bitcoin. As far as I know only the government of some countries are against to bitcoin

You are lucky man if you didn't see any negativity against bitcoin.
Some of my friends are very skeptical about bitcoin and don't want to try it.
Honestly, some people are even afraid to use Internet banking or to buy something on Internet with credit card.
People are different and we can't expect that everybody will like bitcoin because of many different reasons.

I think the main reason why some people are against bitcoin is that it might be put into a negative way like what happened with airing HBO's famous series Game of Thrones latest Season when a hacker got a hold of the unreleased episodes and asked the Producer of HBO a ransom money and should be sent through bitcoin.

I am sure the long list of bitcoin haters are the people who does not have a clue about the technology and does not have any idea how bitcoin works and so they are commenting as if they are economic god's and they really know something,it is really not about scare,it is simply ignorance .You cannot wake someone who is awake.They have to learn about it before commenting and we just need to ignore those fools.

Your observation is somehow wrong because except government and banks no one is against bitcoin.
Bitcoin is an opportunity for all people around the globe and almost everyone love it because of its unique characteristics as a currency.  It is a threat only for governments and banks of a country or state because they are afraid of its illegal use like money laundering other illegal activities.

They are incapable to spend or their self-reliance comes down and may be their company will go down. Most of the those who works in Government will be envious because the compensation will be low for them even taxes.

As far as I can say these doesn't want to see Bitcoin and they want to run their fraud company. I think Bitcoin will crack so many factors later on, let see what will occur in 2018.
