I have been telling my work colleagues about bitcoin now for about 3 years and they still think its a big joke. I dont care because i believe that some day i will be the one Laughing...... I think alot of it is people dont like things they dont understand and would rather make fun off it.

So was just wondering has anyone else on here had similar experiences and how did you deal with it? Wink

Yes, I had very similar experience.
A lot of my friends was and are still very skeptic about bitcoin.
Even my wife thinks that I'm loosing my time and money on useless things on Internet

How I deal with it?
I don't talk any more about this subject.
I keep silent, collecting my bitcoin funds and waiting for bitcoin revolution

After that, I will be the one Laughing.

That's the best strategy. Even if you do. You're learning and dealing with money not playing games.

After you'll make a nice profit, if you'll decide to tell then, I'd just like to be there to see their faces.

Just keep on holding, I assume you haven't panic sold yet OP. Keep holding and see who is laughing at who when in no time we are above the price you bought at by a couple hundred dollars.

In early 2009-10 I was trying to get some cash for investment, I even have the emails were im trying to explain to my friend that the price is 8-10$ a BTC and it will grow, it will grow a lot, but today im still alone mining BTC. after few years some of my colleagues also ordered some first antminers, and then the miracle happened bitfury built huge mining data center in Gori, Near Tbilisi were I live.

People can say whatever they want to say about Bitcoin. Their opinion shouldn't matter to you.

Yes and if you dont use Bitcoins, they may also laugh at anything else. I think the best idea is to see what suits you and carry on with that, discuss your family and then take decision in case you feel confused.

I do agree that people laugh only when they don't understand properly the fact of some plan and other than that are the previous fortune programmes who created negative image in minds of all as well might be another reason for them to laugh.

Let them laugh. You'll be the one laughing best in the end.

Let them laugh at you, there's nothing wrong with what they are doing, It's just that they are not into the idea of collecting bitcoin, as long as they are not hurting you while laughing at you, its just fine..The thing is, when you have collected a lot of bitcoin and share to them what the bitcoin brought in to your life, they might start collecting too, but might be late, you collected your bitcoin when the price was low, and they will start collecting it at high price and might probably asking you to help them and it is up to you if you are going to laugh at them..

First, they'll laugh at you. Then, they fight you. Then, they will copy you and get into Bitcoin as well. Chin up.

at that point Bitcoin will be worth much much more. laugh at them when you become their boss and fire them wooo

After I told bitcoin to my work colleagues, a few has shown up at lunch and asked me how to use bitcoin with the dark net.

That is a typical usage for any kind of new technologies. The first major application of bitcoin is the Silkroad.

At my company there are a bunch of people who either own bitcoins or at least are interested in "blockchain technology" from a theoretical point of view. Then again, my company is very high tech. Your mileage may vary.

It has been a natural behavior in humans to laugh at those things that they can't understand or admit as an alternate vision of the world. Unfortunately the bitcoin is still a very recent phenomenon and most people is not yet familiarized to it, but I think it is only a matter of time to get the sufficient respect and credibility.

I do get the same experience... But like you said I belive some day I will be the one saying " I told you so".

Can't do much else but try to explain it to them. It's to the point now though that they don't even listen.
