Topic: Why are so many people against bitcoin? - page 147. (Read 19333 times)
I think they are not against in bitcoin. They are just people who sometimes do not have to cheat around them and others probably do not need bitcoin in their lives. They lived before that without bitcoin and the rest is convenient their life, unlike everyone in the forum including me, we need extra income. Besides, there are people also afraid to invest in bitcoin. Today, this is what I see why they did not enter the world of bitcoin

They say a thin line separates genius and madness.
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?
people fear for what they don't understand. So basically the lack of knowledge is the main reason that most people are skeptical and don't like bitcoins. And if there is something new not anyone would be pleased by it even if the purpose is for the greater good just like Jesus Christ. He never did hurt, steal or raped or scam anyone but in the end the haters still have him crucified. sorry for the religious rant can't help it.

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.
Show them to me, I want to have a chat with them, when you see someone talking sh*t about bitcoin you need to look them in the eyes and ask them if they really think bitcoin is not a good investment? how many times people need to see how free and decentralized bitcoin is?
The one thing I always tell my classmates: You had your chance and still have to freely buy and sell/ send and receive/ mine, buy & sell miners? When they say: Yes! I say: See? this is bitcoin for anyone in any where, there is no one magically generate them without the whole world knowing about it.

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
because some of them find it illegal because how can you get money at that fast and easyi 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
its really unbelievable especially to elders out there. and many people were tricked about social media
as the bitcoin part of the social media, issues were reveal about

Layman's insecurity that is the reason why they hate it. They cannot hold it in their hands. It is intangible. They like holding paper, coins and plastic cards. All the old world stuff makes them feel comfortable. Bitcoin makes them uneasy and jittery. For they are not making any efforts to study it.
Lol, great points there!
Some might even be mere luddites hidding behind regulation.
The whole concept of owning money without banks Sounds very creepy to them.
They probably would go mad if they go through what best tech futurists have predicted for our future.
I've just heard of people fighting bitcoin, are not people interested and benefited with bitcoin?
people who fight bitcoin may be those who have not fully understood the bitcoin that can make a profit, sometimes there are still many people who do not understand bitcoin as gambling even as a fraud is harmful, and some are against it because they already feel left behind the price of bitcoin at this time and expect bitcoin prices to come back down for them to buy, once they buy them turn around the price of bitcoin rises as high, maybe that's one of their ideas. 
Well, Those who not in to Crypto currency, Not in to technology, not investigators,
Those who are in the field, all of them believe in this. though other believe or not it's real in the world.
Haters are everywhere.

Personally, I think people are against bitcoin because the whole idea of the process confuses them. Another one is because it includes money. People are too scared to embrace and understand because they think they have to release money out of their pockets.
Many people agains bitcoin because they dont know about bitcoin....also me my first impression about bitcoin is not true...then a lot of my friend talking about it and then i make some study about bitcoin and then thats how all start
As per my view i don't feel like anyone is against bitcoins.Maybe they might not have much knowledge about it or they may be scared that if more people come to learn about bitcoins they won't be able to buy them as the price is going higher and there is not much bitcoins created to provide for everyone in this world.i have come to know that few companies have restricted their employees from using bitcoins or working with as they also have invested in bitcoins and they don't want their employees to do so as there are chance for the value of the company to go down and people might start quitting their jobs and will work only with bitcoin forums in their own comfort.
As i see to my friend that against bitcoin I think they just don't know how bitcoin make way in the future. Like me before i really don't understand how to earn and invest here. and if bitcoin is not better to handle a money, because it is not cash or a bank account that they have like me. i can't judge them as a user
Most of them are banksters. Look at JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. They are against with this technology because their business is threatened by bitcoin. That's why they spread FUDs to scare people. The bad thing is, media is sensationalizing it. But the result is different. The more they criticize and throwing accusations against bitcoin.. The more bitcoin gain sympathy from people. People buy their drama before. I think people now are more aware about their style.
Some people are victim of scamming. They blame bitcoin from being scammed. Well, can't blame them why they feel bad at bitcoin. Also governments are against bitcoin because they can't regulte bitcoin. That's understandable though. They are just protecting us. Bitcoin has bright and dark side. But they are just addressing bad stuffs about bitcoin not the benefits of having this technology.

Hi! Well, I believe the main reason why there are too many people against Bitcoin is that it is an intangible investment that is unregulated which involves a good sum of money. It is a commodity or property that you cannot entirely take control of because you have no security that is backed up by governments. It is a risk that you alone took without the benefits of government's intervention should there be any fraudulent acts imputed against you.

i think its because they don't know bitcoin and they don't want to learn bitcoin like we do and they rejected the new technology from anything. they already like with the traditional way to make money and they don't want to try to make money from internet and i see many people like this. but once they learned and they can earn money even for small money, they will gets motivate to try to earn more bigger so this will make them to learn more about making money in internet especially with bitcoin.
People are bound to get scared on things that they know nothing of so I'm pretty sure that those 'many people' you're talking about know next to nothing about bitcoin and the potential it has. Like how some of my friends shun it before but likes it eventually after I have explained it quite enough.
most people who do not like bitcoin are because they do not understand with technology. but I think the only government that wants to fight bitcoin. because the government can not control bitcoin. bitcoin is freedom
Some if not most of these people are, One, scared of the unknown. As we all know the unknown gets the best of all or some of us but it is just a matter of knowing what it trully is. Second, these people might have learned bitcoin from the wrong people. People who have wrong information spread the same information so one by one every person that had encounter with these people tend to know nothing good about bitcoin so they will be against it. Some of these people are the ones saying that it is a scam when it really is not. Third is that some people tend to cling on the past they just dont want to let go. They still use the traditional currency and so they dont pay attention to bitcoin.

The innovation that is the block chain technology that scares them yeah. The price also scares people in such a way that they think somehow someday some where bitcoin will scam all the people who use bitcoin. Jump to:
