Your colleagues are ignorant. They laugh at something they don't even understand.
If they were laughing and giving you arguments as to why bitcoin is stupid.. you should take notice... laughing at something you have no clue what it is..
There is 1 word for that.. pathetic.

Yeah i think his colleagues are mental patients. Why in the world would you laugh on innovation?
Only way is when you don't understand it right?

Do not worry about who or how many are laughing at you right now you just keeping doing what you are doing and let them do what they are doing , if they do not show interest in bitcoin that is there bad luck that they are so short sighted, you even do not have to answer there question TIME will answer and it will answer very well and very soon.

When I tell people at work they don't even know what it is...

But besides that, you can be the last laugh when in 15 years you retire and they are still sitting at work for another 20

Exactly, that is absolutely correct, Let them laugh right now but at the end of the carrier they would be crying and we would be laughing as they are are not aware about the future where bitcoins is going to stand in the future and that is the reason they are making fun of it, bitcoin is a future but when they would come to know it would be too late, its our duty to introduce them to bitcoins but if they are not interested then we cant help.

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

I exactly had same experience and still do with my classmates,i told them about bitcoins and they were laughing at me and didn't believed anything i said to them about some awesome and unique features of bitcoins..well obviously i ignored there opinions,everyone has there own opinions but someday they will believe whatever i told them when they will check and see for themselves..Earlier when i didn't know about bitcoins and first came to know about it,i was also shocked like "Shit! is it possible? a real crypto money?" but when i become familier with it then yes now i understand and use bitcoins,so just give people some time.they will surely understand one day.

I am sure they are laughing at you thinking that you are a total fool who decides to invest in a type of currency that has lots of risks. I do tell you that those colleagues of yours will reach a point where they will beg for just a few coins after the demand has really escalated. One thing they may be fearing the coins is because they have been associated with criminals. Also in most cases they are not formally accepted currency in most countries but this will change and they will start envying you.

I did a work presso at a middle tier bank in 2011 about bitcoin, when bitcoin was $5. Didn't have to say too much more.

I show them the price it was at in 2012 and show them the price it's at now, then I smile and walk away and never mention it again until they mention it to me.

Sometimes, they may show you the price it was at in end-2013.
Price is almost the last thing you should talk about when you list bitcoin's advantages.

Playing the price's game is just the speculators' job. Price is just the price. The underlying features bitcoin brings to us are really important. Actually many ppl heard it before. Why not try it? You wouldn't miss out this century great invention.

I tend not to talk to much about it. I have mentioned it and encouraged them to do their own research to determine if it is something they want to pursue. Just wait though, you may be the one laughing in the end - all the way to the bank

Well you can't "win" that, if bitcoin is down it's "I told you so", if it's up you just were lucky. If the people I told about bitcoin back in the days had bought only 10 bucks worth of coin that'd be a quite nice christmas gift now. They still haven't bought any because it's to late anyways (wish I could buy more of that to-late coins now).
Whatever, doesn't matter, you can't change people and most simply won't give a fuck about how money works, just enjoy your extra bucks if you're up and the awesomeness of using bitcoin Grin

I do not think that this will make much of a move for someone like he is explaining. They seem like they are egotistical, and something like this would just spark the response of "where is all your money then"!

Wait a year and you'll laugh at them, after your investment in bitcoin earns you hundreds.

Some people simply aren't interested in technology, you can't blame them, and they can't blame you when theyre jealous later in life.

Some people just don't know what they're missing, eh?

Unfortunately I am also facing this same situation although I think this is not a useless labor because at least all of them are already noticed about the great economic changes to come. If they decide not to join this revolution now, it is not my responsibility.

Yeah, I think that it's just better not to mention it in some situations.
Especially when dealing with people who are not at all interested in technology.

TRUMP IS DOING THE BEST! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

People will tend to not believe in something that they fear or know nothing about.
If that was 3 years ago I would think you would be the one laughing right now. If you held all the bitcoin you could of received since then. You should have accumulated a fair bit in a span of three years if you have not spent it. It's value nearly tripled since then.
