Who really are against Bitcoin? I mean there are some large bankers I just watched ina video who are not necessarily in favor of Bitcoin. That is obvious. Bitcoin presents a major threat to the banking industry and they do not like that.
Aside from that I don't know where you are coming up with all of these people who are "against" Bitcoin. Sources?

What you don't know how to handle will make you scared. The news about Bitcoin scare some people. They do not know how to go about it, I think it's because of lack of knowledge.
Many people are scared of Bitcoin because they don't understand how it works. Some are afraid of scams or fraudsters. Many are trying to understand the technicalities of the blockchain.
With good Knowledge about Bitcoin, I think anyone who have the knowledge will leverage it for the good of others. Bitcoin and altcoins are the new money system, and so we have to embrace it because of the obvious benefit.

Bitcoin is very populer any countries. But There are some bad points and no one can catch that side. Bitcoin through some evil people do evil things. Can not know about any country or bank account. But I think everyone can use it for the good work then everyone will go for it.
as far as I know everything we do like the business there must be a temptation, the ordeal sometimes comes suddenly we do not know, sometimes the trials are bad and good, so I think if what we face, do not be discouraged.

Despite the fact that bitcoin is considered enough about, it still remains beyond the reach of understanding for most social circles.
The digital generation like ourselves is more open-minded, I guess. Always seeking for new perspectives of self-development in many directions, we're willing to learn things, we risk and sometimes we lose, but this is the way we liberalize and keep up to date.
But most people are not ready to do so, especially when currency matters. Any new currency oscillations bring some sort of suspicion to minds and unconsciously people start to refer to some unfortunate historical examples.
They can't just trust the currency they've never experienced before and that's OK. Today in the world of misinformation people need to be sure their actives are secured and will stay that way tomorrow, in a year and after that.
It will take some time before everyone can accept this digital realia and find their own way to realize its significance.

I like such topics for the discussion though...
U know some against btc cos of its independence. People are afraid of things they aren't able to control.
It's my main thought right now.

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 these people do not understand the technologies of bitcoin, they do not know what bitcoin really is. Such people need to be enlightened.
Before money provides precious metals such as gold or silver. Today, "conventional" currency, e.g. US dollar, provided the credibility of the governments that produce it.
The main reason why the currency has value, the majority of governments forcing citizens to pay taxes. Also people believe that their money will be accepted as payment for goods or services.
Gold and silver have inherent value because they are used in industry for the manufacture of jewelry, and of these metals historically coins were minted.
Bitcoins have no Central Bank, it is not controlled by the government, and does not physically exist. While it has value, it can be used as currency. It is based on the blockchain technology that is used not only for buying and selling goods. The value of bitcoin is its usefulness.

I suppose yes) I think it is people who didn't buy BTC and other criptocurrencies. So at present they understand that missed something important
I think it's because of the fear of the uncertainty due to the unstable nature of bitcoin
I remember when I was a child, I was asked to step away from the TV screen, repeatedly. Now, people set a screen right in front of their eye which we can VR. Lots of people hated mobile phone because of the radiation. And now they carry one or more than one mobile phone in their pocket. And when they turn its Wifi on, they see more than 8 routing devices around them. People will come by, you just have to wait until it happen.
Bitcoin is very populer any countries. But There are some bad points and no one can catch that side. Bitcoin through some evil people do evil things. Can not know about any country or bank account. But I think everyone can use it for the good work then everyone will go for it.

Maybe they do not know the word crypto currency so many do not like it. There is so much reason to avoid bitcoin. they have no idea they do not know bitcoin they do not know their value. they do not believe in bitcoin

Thanks to the media, more people are learning about bitcoin every day. But many consider it to be the usual fashion trend and do not take it seriously, and do not think about its potential and its capabilities.
Maybe what you mean is a government that hates Bitcoin. There are various countries that have banned Bitcoin because they think they can not profit from Bitcoin. Yet if the state learns correctly, the state can also get profit from Bitcoin. If we do a transaction with Bitcoin, we do not have to pay taxes. If we keep Bitcoin, we do not keep it in the bank and the country feels they can not profit from it. If you ask individually, of course, many individuals feel that they benefit from Bitcoin. Bitcoin has boosted the economy of many people, and make many family life prosperous.

It is because of the fake news that circulates in the internet saying that many has been scammed through it. So people not knowing bitcoin are inclined to stay away from it and immediately tags it sinister without giving time to see through the innovation and potential it brings to society.
Yes, Lack of knowledge is one of the basic reasons why people are really afraid of using bitcoin. Moreover there are countless other digital coins which are fighting for overthrowing bitcoin and those who ask such people about bitcoin, they always go against bitcoin. I prefer and will suggest all newcomers informing others about this forum for obtaining any kind of information regarding bitcoin. In this way, bitcoin community will flourish.
People like giving opinions. Because its very easy to sit on the sidelines and call something is worthless as they have nothing to lose if it comes to the ground.
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 did'nt know what is cryptocurrency so thats they did not understand it well.They are afraid to invest their money that it will be lost due to its inflation of price in bitcoin.you mean deflation why not invest in a coin that will keep climbing up in value? 21 million coins 4 million probably lost. means there will be around 16 millions coins in circulation. BItcoin vs the total of world fiat currencies in total! Let them miss out. I am surly do not care if I am the one owning a yacht
Actually I do not know why they do not like bitcoin and why they are against in it, but you may be right, they might just be afraid that their money will go to the wrong hands. They just need to understand better about bitcoin, because there are so many news that the bitcoin is scam even though it is not true.
Maybe because they're the laziest person that don't want to hard work. Actually its a bit hard to gain bitcoins you can't work with faucet for many months. Investing with bitcoins is also a risky task maybe in past they invest with it and work with there laziest which cased they lose their money.
Because they have been brainwashed and taught that it is a scam with all the skeptics who know nothing about it and do not care to open their minds to learn about it.
Maybe you were right but in some other point many people against bitcoin because they were not able to buy when this coin was below $1k and now that the price is already $11k its so hard for them to buy since the risk is also high. in short they are against because they didn't earn a single satoshi for he bull run of btc Jump to:
