Bitcoin Forum

So some of us have girlfriends, significant others, wives and partners that are very important to us and whom we love.

What does your significant other think about Bitcoin? I'm really interested in this!  ;D

3 words usually, risky, not safe and useless. (As in I can't even use it much real life or online)

She doesn't really care as long as I don't risk our livesavings when buying bitcoins

exactly the same here.

She is using it mainly with XAPO and has a XAPO credit card for spenting.

I recommended bitcoin to all of them but no one is interested in using it, but no one really cares about it and are not simply interested in using it  >:(

Luckily I'm surrounded only by intelligent and attractive women... :D

When it comes to Bitcoin I've only had positive responses. When I talk about Bitcoin, I focus on what you can do with it and on the superior security aspect of really owning your funds. These are arguments that are universally accessible, even if you're not interested in the technical details. Demonstrating how to instantly move funds around the globe to buy some product from a stranger on another continent appeals to men and women alike.

I know of one lady actually buying some Bitcoin after considering the benefits...

ya.ya.yo!

Never mind buddy!
In a few years when this takes off and you own some wealth because of it, you will be the greatest for them.
"Oh you're smart, so much ahead of your time, looking good, I want you baby!Now! Marry me!Let's have children!!!" ;D :D

The people to whom I explained Bitcoin liked the concept and also saw its benefits. Nevertheless, only one of them eventually invested some of his money into crypto currencies. They always think it is too complicated (usage as well as process of acquiring) or too risky. Still, I like my cryptos  ;)

As for me,
she actually quite likes it, but she doesn't like if I'm spending a lot of time browsing websites, forums etc. about it

It's funny whenever I talk to my SO about bitcoin because she listens to all of the news reports about the whole "terrorists being funded with bitcoins" ordeal, so whenever she sees me on this forum or doing anything that involves crypto currencies, she actually thinks I'm talking to terrorists and that sort of thing... which every time I have to tell her that I'm, in fact, NOT talking/funding terrorists.

I've had multiple long talks with her when we've been drinking about why I like crypto currencies so much, and that leads me to getting into the whole aspect of why I believe the monetary system is a sham and that the fiat system will inevitably collapse... Every time these conversations come about, she always ends up calling me crazy but that she loves me anyway...


I think that can be said for everyone here... exactly what I'm reminded of on a semi weekly basis lol.

Damn! That's some serious black and white thinking right there. No way to cure her of that? ;)

Love ? Two people in a corner making three  :-*


All the big decisions re. finance, are mine. She's happy that it is so. At least for the time being. She has abdicated responsibilty to me. This being the case, if it all goes tits up she really would have no right to complain.
But something tells me she will.

my significant other was the one who got me into bitcoin lol

I was the skeptical one until she explained it all to me. So not every
woman is against exploring new things like bitcoin.

she says things like " you love your bitcoins more than you love me  >:("

I given up trying to deny this fact.

Haha, I've been making some pretty big strides in changing her ways of thinking... but the fact of the matter is that, like what other people have been posting, she doesn't really see the point of it; primarily because she doesn't see how it is possible that the USD (or any other major fiat for that matter) can ever collapse along with a global economy. 

I've explained to her the ways the central banks operate and how "creating money out of nothing" will inevitably have to result in some catostrophic collapse... but whenever I get to that point in the conversation, I just usually lose her interest and we end up changing subjects...

It's ok though, I don't need her to understand my view point as much as I don't need to understand hers for not thinking with my same logic. 

I have a girlfriend and she is not very technically savvy and I have tried to explain what Bitcoin is to her but she just can't grasp the whole idea behind crypto coins and Bitcoin is still 'magical money on the Internet' for her. In short she is neutral to Bitcoin and really doesn't mind me spending time messing with Bitcoin exchanges and stuff as long as I am buying her nice gifts  ;D But if I had a wife I would be wary telling her about my virtual Bitcoin empire  ;)

Damn, that's a little sad :'(

I can only advise you to make her feel that you love her the most in a state of high serotonine.

She will believe you, and she will understand what Bitcoin means to you naturally.

"Interesting". "Future".  (not kidding)  ;)


@adamstgBit

 :D

Very nice! My wife is similar. Has she used some Bitcoin on her own, though, ie. sending/receiving? Mine has never done that so far, although she seems interested.

I think there's not enough motivation for her to actually try and use it, she'd probably need the oh-wow-I-actually-just-received-some-btc-moment all on her own.

Well, we're both into Bitcoin. I don't think that opinion and use of the Bitcoin has much to do with the gender. Men and women are pretty much equal when they realize the adventages of alternative finances (Bitcoin) and how this can make their everyday life better.

actually i had been several times trying to explain what is bitcoin to her but seems she doesn't looks care with my explanations and till now if i started to talking about Bitcoin she will leave me and watching TV or hangout with her friends

Would have been better if you started off with sharing your own experience.
I am single right now but if I had told it to my ex when we were in relationship,she wouldn't have cared what I do with my money as long as I have enough to spend on her :D

Ok I can share my personal experience on this. My girlfriend is actually getting more interested in bitcoin; just yesterday I told her I made $5 worth of bitcoin and she started getting curious; asking questions one after the other. So whats it means that once anyone knows about bitcoin, he or she tries to figure out more about it as it is so interesting and a brand new concept of digital currency for those who are unaware.

well, when my brother heard about btc, he just said "wow, is it really?" and he also said, "maybe BTC will be the next future E-money in the world"

She was interested and willing to learn when she first heared it from me, especially when I'm going to buy some stuffs and groceries and the money i used to buy is the money i withdraw from bitcoin I earned. And now where helping each other so we can earn a lot coz she is already using bitcoin ;D

My wife thinks the process is so complicated because of terms and all. She gets really confused every time I start to explain things to her. But she's happy when I deposit something in her bank account.

My girlfriend is trying to figure out what is bitcoin and i have taught her a lot about this.
Im very happy because of it

Some people prefer fiat, but we can only wait and see if bitcoin will be more acceptable when more and more places and companys are accepting as a means of payment; especially if we could set it up for a service like paypal; that would be nice.

I introduced my GF to BTC and she uses them a fair amount now.

It's really easy actually to convert folks over to Bitcoin users. :D

actually they quite likes it, but sometimes they doesn't like if I'm spending a lot of time for it.
