Topic: Work colleagues laugh at me getting into Bitcoin - page 2. (Read 6934 times)
People can say whatever they want to say about Bitcoin. Their opinion shouldn't matter to you.
Your colleagues don't know what you are into. probably they think that you are introducing to them a ponzi..You let them laugh at you, atleast now that bitcoin is a bit stable and price is good, you could now laugh at them if they are just starting to collect. 
Who cares, man? Get on with your thing and let them get on with theirs. They're probably into stuff that you think is dumb too. You might have the last laugh.
Is great to tell them that you earn quite a lot of money with it.
But is better to just let it is don't listen or make fun with it.
For me they are friends who know what it is, but they don't have interest. So I just do it for my self more money for me.
We just need find friend that have same interested in bitcoin, ignore friend that laugh of what your interested.But is better to just let it is don't listen or make fun with it.

No problem, let these people laugh very hard at us. In the long term we will show them what our investment in Bitcoin did. I am sure that we can report a gain of at least 100% while the people that are laughing at us only get 1-3% interest on their savings. They won't like it.

mourn the day when they will understand that they entered this world too late, bitcoin will be on the moon at that point

Just talking about Bitcoin to all of our friends may identify the really interested persons. Identifying a friend who has some interest on bitcoin ecosystem is not a big deal.
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?
you are really unlucky,yes i said like that because you have work colleagues that laughing to you because you are bitcoiner,its an old school,i think bitcoin is not for joke,its not funny thing,its a money thing So was just wondering has anyone else on here had similar experiences and how did you deal with it?
and thank god,i dont have friends or work coleagues that laugh at me.

I keep quiet.. make an account here and chat with bitcoin lover/believer better =)
Let people think what they want, if you believe with bitcoin then go on. "Mind is your business"
yes you right. mind your own business. just show them how much the bitcoin price right now, and someday show them how many bitcoin you have. and i'm sure they will shock.
I would be interested in see their face when the bitcoin price rise to $3000 late this year. They will regret definitely.
Don't worry about them . When it rises a lot then they will start going on about it. Try telling them when it rises a lot. Especially when block halves.

I think we all have faced or are facing same situation when it comes to talk about Bitcoin in front of new people.I was made fun by my friends when at the start of last year I tried to introduce Bitcoin to my friends.But I remained lucky after little effort I succeed to convey what I wanted and now some of my friends are also got involved in Bitcoin.
i guess i was lucky..
coworkers: very good reaction and some did invest. i still sometimes talk to them about bitcoin (i dont work anymore)
friends: it took me a few months but now most oft them own some
family: they are still very sceptical. my mother bought some and my uncle is interested in blockchain tech now.
no one every laughed at me. some did tell me i will loose money though....well i proved them wrong ;-)
(i bought my first btc at 30$ and was lucky to catch some at 3$ later - i lost most through thefts though)

My condition is also same as you..
My all colleagues tell me..
That you are wasting your time in this garbage online things..
But i know.. that i day I'll have a big market and too much profit from btc..
And will be a businessman..
To be honest I dont want to discuss bitcoin with my family,colleages and acquintances until and unless I myself have understood about it like a pro.There's no point in introducing something to someone and leaving them on a mercy of Google to find answers to there questions.I want to get as much knowledge of bitcoin as I can before discussing about it with anyone so that I can answer there questions

Stop telling them, keep your knowlegde to yourself for now. Because in time to come they will come to you themselve to find out more about the soul-call bitcoins.
What about you? how did you came to know about bitcoins?
Did you just accept the use of bitcoins instantly and push ahead to create wallet? Certainly, not.
I remember, going through pages of a magazine in a local library that explained on "how anyone can become a millionaire with one the fastest growing VIrtual Currency."
I spent time browsing through the pages of this book, At the end i said to myself "RUBBISH" same day i went on the internet to search for term "bitcoins" every information i got made no meaning to me until 1-2 year's later.
Although, i regreted for not have paid perculiar attention to bitcoins in the first place. You see why you need not to blame your friend's,family or colleague at work.
Because their attention now is channel toward's something else So, for now it will make no sense to them just like buying stuff from the internet make no meaning to most people 10-year's ago.
Everybody has their own time & moment when they choose to accept things.
Thank For Coming Up with such discussion

This is the best advice you could get, just ignore them because if you tell them about it, not only they will think you are some sort of conspiracy theorist weirdo by implying we need to secure our wealth outside the system's enforced money, but after shaming you, they will come asking for help once it goes mainstream and everyone talks about it and wants to get that precious BTC.
Just keep buying while it's cheap and get a good portfolio to get ahead of the pack and them watch them cry as you become a millionaire.

Same situation here with my peers. I have mentioned about bitcoin and even after making them fully understand on how it works and how it copes up with the market price, they still mocks and makes fun of me.
I also showed them my monetary profit from time to time as he price of bitcoin rose upto $400 but still they are afraid of its volatility.
Let them mock at me, I am still contented and I will laugh at them afterwards.
"He who laughs last, laughs best".
Ah! Fantastic
I've also told my friends about bitcoin , the potential of bitcoin from year to year , but instead of my friends laughed at me . and said it was just a waste of my time . but I do not care about my attitude . maybe someday I will laugh at them .

But the real challenge is making them to mind on bitcoin ecosystem. I made them to think by explaining the core financial concepts of bitcoin in our conference hall just a a friends get together. Adopting or neglecting is their own wish, but I made them to keep on asking me some doubts and they are following bitcoin keenly.
