I know many doubters also but the funny thing is when bitcoin goes down like when it dropped from 600 to 300 everyone
was quick to bring it up to me but when we went from 300 to 450 no one said anything lol

Yes people are same kind all over the world. Those who refused are always looking for any losses with the bitcoin investment, which is like they themselves assume that they have taken good decisions in their life.
But for those who are having faith in bitcoin will not bother this kind of people or any downfall of bitcoin.

Any way you have made your friends circle to follow bitcoin prices. That must be half the victory.
Among my friends, only very few had accepted my words to adopt bitcoin and invested some little amounts. The other people are just following and watching bitcoin very keenly to take any decisions like those who had adopted.

Time will decide who had taken good decisions and who will be benefited by adopting bitcoin.
There are many frustrating moments when we are spreading bitcoin to our friends or colleagues. But I never mind them.
I always concentrate to talk about bitcoin to many new people.

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

your story is something general, i think everyone who uses bitcoin and being in a city that very few bitcoin users will have the same situation.
when I was in college, my friends also doubt my intention to adopt and collect bitcoin, they laugh at me too, but I answer them by continuing to use it until now.

Just let them laugh, they will realize their mistake after you can show them what you can buy with bitcoin later, if you want you also to show them your bitcoin money and then calculate it to your currency

I think it will stop their laugh once they know your bitcoin wealth

try not to give investment advice to your friends coworkers or relatives. its a lose lose scenario as they will blame you either way. and if they gain they wont give you any credit for it anyways. buying for speculation is foolish.. chances are you wont be laughing very hard in the end.

Forget them. Now is the time to laugh at them. Sooner or later BTC will make a change for the better and anyone who had the chance to get in and did not, will be sorry they did not. Think of it like this. If you would have got into BTC when it was $10 each and you would have purchased 1,000 shares. Now this would be enough for you to do a hell of a lot more than what you did with that 10,000 you spend. it is an investment and some people doe not see past what is in plain site in front of them.

But if they asked me what the point is in owning it, I really would be hard pressed for a good answer.

Future potential surely? There isn't an advantage in using it for payments at present apart from the occasional discount, but I spend it where I can as there's something very satisfying about getting in on a potential ground floor.

I don't think it's in any way ready for prime time yet and I would fully expect your average personage to have little or no interest or understanding of it. That's probably for the best for now.

I don't talk about bitcoin at work in general, though I have mentioned it to a select few coworkers. The truth is that if one of them asked my why in hell you'd want to use bitcoin over cash, I couldn't give them a good reason. None of my coworkers are sending funds across the world to family or anything like that. There aren't any stores in town that take bitcoin.

The only thing I could possibly mention is its price volatility, which makes it possible to make a profit. But if they asked me what the point is in owning it, I really would be hard pressed for a good answer.

I think your work colleagues will be pleasantly surprised is they would get into this themselves. There is alot of potential with this and we need more people to get into Bitcoin. My wife is bothering me with this all of the time. Little does she know that the football game tickets and the hockey tickets I just purchased, both came from the profits that I made with Bitcoin. Tell them to get on board or go away!!

I don't think it's worth mentioning really. If you pique someone else's interest and they get into it then they'll just blame you when they make a monumental balls up even when you had zero to do with it. The rest will always lack the gumption to spend 5 minutes actually researching it before commenting.

Story of my life. What makes me the most pissed is that I see many friends doing such stupid investments, and I just wonder how much I could be doing for him/her...

We're the vanguard, brothers and sisters. It's natural that we face some resistance.

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

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 would never tell anyone to invest in bitcoin. i would talk about bitcoin and explain it but everyone has to do his own decisions.
maybe your colleagues are on the right side and bitcoin will be at zero in 3 days? (i dont think that Cheesy

)

nobody should be angry when some people laugh about bitcoin. i wouldnt even laugh when iam right because - i dont care -! Wink

these people dont even understand 1% of it. the only thing that matters is that YOU understand it and know about the risks and opportunities (mainstream media will do the rest Grin

)

Well if they are too stupid to understand, or too ignorant to research it, it's their bad right?
Eventually they will turn around becaues as you can see we got new people coming into bitcoin every day.

some people around me do think bitcoin is nothing more than a ponzi. but they have lowered their tone quite a bit lately. i have showed them that you can actually use bitcoin to pay for stuff and to send money from one place to the other, instantly.
