In a few years they really regret not listening to you and bang with their heads against the wall 
Of course, then we just saw them and laugh hard over them. Would like to say "Get in there dude"

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.

Don't worry mate, they just ignore what bitcoin's means nowadays , so they laugh as they are ignorants. Time will teach them and they will know the value of this crypto currency
Exactly, they are laughing right now let them laugh as they are not aware what bitcoin is all about, and at the time or retirement, you would be getting retired very early and they would be still working and at that time you will be laughing at them, So if they are not tech friendly then we can't help and if they don't believe in innovative things and don't want to learn anything new we can't help them.

I think you at least honored to try supporting and advertising Bitcoin here and there even if it's not easy accepted by people till now as you noticed here, but we have to continue the work despite this difficulties

I think you will win in 10 years. In fact we already win, the price was 0.001 a few years ago, it is 444 now.
In a way you have already won. Bitcoin is still here and it's healty too. Healty with a lot of volume and getiing more people interested on a daily basis.
So yes don't worry about them, laugh them in their face.

Well, let them laugh. I too have friends who laugh at me because I ever I say anything about bitcoin, does that means I should stop using bitcoin? NO. So do what you feel is good for you and just leave the rest on almighty.

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?

without even using the word bitcoin. i bet atleast 50% of work colleagues laugh when someone says they invest in anything. ive seen people say its foolis to invest in microsoft because linux/apple is better. then say its foolish to invest in apple because samsung/android is better.
not based on logical investment criteria, but based on user perceptions of the products.
so even if you show video's of the canada senate loving bitcoin, video's and media stories from bloomberg showing many legit companies investing in bitcoin. even showing the picture of the UK's treasury minister buying bitcoin. many people will only think about bitcoins lack of being able to buy toilet roll in 3 seconds at the local 7eleven.
I think people need to get a true definition out before the situation gets any worse, see a form of investment and money are two different things, think stock in a company vs cash in hand. You can't use shares in walmart or @ an ice=cream stand. This is the heart of the blocksize debate , @ 1 Mb it becomes an expensive investment vehicle, that cannot be viably used for everyday commerce.
I'd rather see Bitcoin traded in money markets , rather than stock exchanges.
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

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 questionsSo was just wondering has anyone else on here had similar experiences and how did you deal with it?
I like the way you commented on this thread man!!

Lol they can laugh but after few years if the bitcoin price incrases and if you save some bitcoin they will be interested what did you do where did you get these money, people are known to be ignorant but when they understand the truth will be simple late. So was just wondering has anyone else on here had similar experiences and how did you deal with it?
I don't mention playing with BTC much because then I have to answer way too many stupid questions..
I have been engaged in 'stupid conversation' once with my friend who found about Bitcoin before me brought me here.I asked a lot of 'stupid' questions back then - but I become fond of the cyptocurrency idea ever since.
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.

Let people think what they want, if you believe with bitcoin then go on. "Mind is your business"
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.
Yes, when the future price of bitcoins are not fascinating, then the core concepts of bitcoin like capped supply and how it will replace Paypal or western union or even dollars may make some people to rethink their opinion on bitcoin. Making them to think about bitcoin must be a big achievement than giving up our motivation.
Again in 2013 btc was 'evil' bank sic'd SEC on me on their bank error ..*thus legal miner have to file now..but all worked out so far for no taxes with equip depreciation* A plumber came to my basement I wanted him to remove old 1928 gas black pipe from around the basement (to an old obvious stove another to a heater and gas prob water heater) He asked about my KNC Jupiter 550 gh BTC miner....I said BTC miner ..he blurted out 'oh thats for drugs right?' tried to explain...have never heard from the guy since .would not return calls lol
so in 2013 BTC was a scam/ponzi/ripoff drug dealer paradise according to the great masses.......ie evil btc....
NOW in 2015 it is a scam/tulips/underhanded/Amway risky fly by night speculation ....I guess that is progress we have moved to being compared to 'drug dealers' to Amway Salesman or door to door fuller brush salesman.....dare to dream in 2017 we can move up to 'used car dealers" on the trustworthy scale
onward and upward
That is a very good analogy. In 5-10 years, our relatives, friends and colleagues will think they have missed the boat.
