Title: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: virtualx on September 12, 2016, 11:37:56 PM Is Bitcoin still considered shady in the public opinion or government opinion?
From 2011: It's not a secret CIA dudes read this forum. I tried for long time to keep my nationality obscured but eventually I've blown it. I've also found out that Romanian Intelligence Service keeps noting on Romanians that use Bitcoin. Not for the security of the state but for personal reasons. Please note that in Romania, a country with 22.000.000 people there are officially 200.000 mobile phone taps. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: uN-ann on September 13, 2016, 05:26:30 AM I think people like us speaking up about cryptocurrencies in general (don't have to necessarily mention Bitcoin if you are just explaining the concept), will greatly help the widespread adoption of the concept.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: BADecker on September 13, 2016, 11:11:15 AM Yes, I tell in public. 8)
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Shinpako09 on September 13, 2016, 11:44:26 AM No, actually havent told anyone yet that im using bitcoin even my family. They only know that im doing gambling online but they dont know that im using btc to be able to play.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: logocreator on September 13, 2016, 11:46:05 AM Yes, of course, its not like taboo to me, i tell everyone
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Tyrantt on September 13, 2016, 04:00:08 PM Of course, I often suggest people to use btc whenever we get into that kind of business talk and also when talking about earning some nice pocket money. Why would I keep quiet about it?
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: InvoKing on September 13, 2016, 04:12:44 PM i don't see a problem to tell anyone that i have bitcoin in my possession and many family members are already aware of it... it isn't a drug or something illegal to hide ;)
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: mrhelpful on September 13, 2016, 04:18:34 PM It depends on the context of the conversation and who its with..
But a random stranger? I rather just not, but sometimes it slips and usually ends up them getting them to know wanting to more about it? I just say go google it and then they hit me back up cause people still are very new to it. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: crairezx20 on September 13, 2016, 04:54:43 PM Well there is no problem to tell them for me i will always tell it in my friends and in my facebook page to share what i am doing if they are asking i will teach them how to use bitcoins..
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: gabmen on September 13, 2016, 05:22:42 PM well I'll tell people if they're interested although here from where I'm at bitcoin is not that known yet by a lot of people. so if someone asks about it I don't have any reason not to tell them. bit coin is not illegal here anyways :D
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: xht on September 13, 2016, 07:31:11 PM Well, I think there is no problem of it by telling others that we use bitcoin it will greatly assist the development of bitcoin in this world.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Xester on September 14, 2016, 04:01:09 AM Only to my friend and my family. They asked me how I have money because I have no job and then I told them about signature campaign and bitcoin. They were all amazed and wonder how could it happen. When I showed it to them they were like okay it is only for people with brains. ;D They love the idea but would not want to try it as they sees it as complicated.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: awesome31312 on September 14, 2016, 06:40:06 PM It's not considered shady, it's just got stereotypes associating it with nerds, Libertarians, or both.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: countryfree on September 14, 2016, 08:48:22 PM Of course, I do. Why shouldn't I? There's nothing to be ashamed of. Then, all my friends know I'm somewhat special with a different lifestyle and political beliefs, so BTC fits me quite well.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: LTU_btc on September 14, 2016, 10:10:59 PM Sometimes I'm telling to my friends that I use bitcoin. I'm trying to explain them how it works, why bitcoin is good. But mostly are not interested in bitcoin. And mostly mid-age people hardly can understand what is bitcoin and think that it's something shady.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: badykvik on September 15, 2016, 06:23:52 AM Of course, I do. With friends and with anybody who is interested about crypto.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: signup01 on September 15, 2016, 06:25:12 AM Sometime I talk about bitcoin when chat with my friends. But not every friends, just some friends who interest in online marketplace or make money online. And in thats conversation, I tell them that I use bitcoin

I think it's a "Nerd" technology and not all using this form of payment for "black" purpose like selling drugs , weapons etc... Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: maydna on September 15, 2016, 06:51:54 AM when i meet my friend and he/she ask me what is my job, i will answer i play and trading bitcoin. and if they ask what is bitcoin, then i will explain what i know. and this is what i do when someone ask what is my jobs and i will tell them about bitcoin. at least, i am trying to introduce bitcoin into my friends.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Dora Doll on September 15, 2016, 08:34:15 AM not in public but mostly to my friends although i am not going to hide it as i have also draw bitcoin logo on my bike and i think that is the most exp loser of bitcoin in public and most of the time people ask me about that and then i use to tell me a detail story of bitcoin and they really appreciate it and show interest to start it.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Mr. Green on September 15, 2016, 08:35:48 AM No I don't tell it public. It is my little secret. People would think me as a Junkie. I don't want that.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: poptok1 on September 15, 2016, 08:43:38 AM Yes, of course, its not like taboo to me, i tell everyone Same here, I'm often mentioning about bitcoin around my friends and family, don't see a reason why I should hide this fact. Most of them are truly interested in the subject, so I takethis opportunity and explain as simple and attractive as I can, what bitcoins are and how to collect it. Often a good conversation starter, because in general people are hungry of new and innovative technology. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: doomistake on September 15, 2016, 08:44:27 AM Actually I don't. Because in the first place I'm not the type of person that will just tell someone what I'm doing in my life, I won't tell someone until they asked me and it depends if I trust them enough or not. But most of the person don't know about the bitcoin so that's why I don't tell it on public because if I do there are gonna be a lot of explanations that's gonna happen.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: tiggytomb on September 15, 2016, 08:57:11 AM Why not? it isn't illegal and is now being adopted quite a bit, look at the recent Circle Pay - Apple collaboration as an example, maybe back in the day when all you heard relating to bitcoin was illegal activities etc it would be a bit hush hush to talk about bitcoin.
Now we have banks using the blockchain and it is overall looking a lot more positive for bitcoin, the same with cash and any other form of currency there will always be the bad bunch but the good usually always outweighs the bad. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Viyamore on September 15, 2016, 10:20:27 AM Actually I don't.

But most of the person don't know about the bitcoin so that's why I don't tell it on public because if I do there are gonna be a lot of explanations that's gonna happen. I got your point there ,im also that kind of person when it comes on secret doings .even my earnings i won't tell on them .i am just simply doing what i do . But when they ask me what is that or how to earn with that i will teach them especially my family members first .also i won't spoon feed on them if they ask i will tell them to make some research first .i am mad answering every details ex what is blockchain wallet ,satoshi,btc ,bitcoins something like that basic to know about bitcoins.Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: groll on September 15, 2016, 02:06:20 PM Not to the public like people you did not know. But I do tell it to my friends and always telling it to my special someone and to my family. They will most likely to believe you and listen to you rather than random persons. I tell them how I earn extra profit and how does it work. They just listen and would ask question but not will try to do it on their own.

Well you don't have to be that kind of person to bring up a topic of bitcoin. I always bring it when we talk about earning some spare money. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: EustormBit on September 16, 2016, 04:05:15 PM yes. i tell'm in public.
coz many people know and curious in bitcoin maybe later they try and slightly interest that would increase the bitcoin price. LOL ;D Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: dimonchik13 on September 16, 2016, 04:16:15 PM I do not hide it. And of course I do not brag on every corner. I believe that in the future bitcoints will enjoy many.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Nowl1935 on September 17, 2016, 03:19:04 PM Not yet to the public but mostly of the time i told to my friends , families and relatives. I always open up my source of extra income to those people who are willing to earn money with the help of bitcoin.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: googie4 on September 18, 2016, 01:56:38 AM I think it's best not to tell anyone about your money. People are assholes. I just read a story of a 70 year old man who was held at gunpoint by criminals who knocked on his door, demanding the key for his safe. Stupid criminals, because it narrows it down to people who know the 70 year old guy, and that he has a safe. But the point is, if you have a safe, and a criminal friend just happens to see as they walk by, then you instantly become a target, even if you're just using a safe to hide your Playboys. So I keep quiet.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Xenophoto on September 18, 2016, 07:29:48 AM There's no reason for me to tell people in public that I'm using Bitcoin and there's also no reason for me not to. Yes, I tell people that I'm using Bitcoin only when we come across in a conversation where we talk about how we earn money. I don't tell it publicly in a manner like yelling, "Hey, everyone! I'm using Bitcoins!!" because that'd be awkward. I don't think using Bitcoin or earning money through Bitcoin is a shady activity although most people ask me if it's really legal.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Daniel91 on September 18, 2016, 09:10:28 AM Yes, but mostly people don't understand what I'm talking about or they just don't care.
It seems people have attitude: ''show me the money'' and after that they will start to believe that Bitcoin is something special and unique. In fact, most of this people are even afraid to use their credit cards and buy something online, or afraid to change their life. It's sad but it seems Bitcoin is not for everybody. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Nowl1935 on September 24, 2016, 03:55:57 PM Is Bitcoin still considered shady in the public opinion or government opinion?

Please note that in Romania, a country with 22.000.000 people there are officially 200.000 mobile phone taps. I never yet tell to the public that i used bitcoin. But in some friends, relatives and families i did already. And they are using bitcoin as well. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: startselect on September 24, 2016, 04:38:49 PM I remember someone telling me about Bitcoins, but I didn't let them know that I use them. If I tell someone, I kind of feel that it should be someone I trust.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: BADecker on September 24, 2016, 05:30:51 PM Do I tell in public that I use Bitcoin? Yes I do, but most of the people I tell, think that it is Bitcoin using me.
8) Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: crairezx20 on September 24, 2016, 05:32:52 PM Well for me i will choose to share it public so that more people are attracting to use bitcoin and more investors will come if it will happen the price will increase more. So it is the best to share it to them.. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: BADecker on September 24, 2016, 05:37:17 PM Well for me i will choose to share it public so that more people are attracting to use bitcoin and more investors will come if it will happen the price will increase more. So it is the best to share it to them.. Make them realize that government and the banks won't have any idea that they are transacting (in most cases), and ask your question again. 8) Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Slow death on September 24, 2016, 07:26:45 PM I do not tell to anyone, why? because in my country, bicoin do not have much use in real life, at least for many people who do not have money to afford to lose, in my case is different, I will give an example, if I want to buy $20 in bitcoin, I deposit $20 on Payza. reaching $19 in Payza. then i use the exchange (X) then use another processor (Y) and the processor (Y) send $14 in bitcoin to my blockchain account.
$50 is minimum wage in my country and I doubt that those who earn minimum wage will want to spend your money buying bitcoin, it is true that has many rich people, but these people do not want something complicated, so do not see the need to tell them about bitcoin. Bitcoin is for people who have money, it's sad what I'm saying, but it's true, is a technology that not this within the reach of the very poor, to have notion, for me to use bitcoin in my country, I must pay card of Neteller which costs $ 68 to send by DHL ... of course for me would not be a problem, but for many people this is a problem. i never tell about my financial condition because I'm afraid of robbers. here if you say you have money, probably vain to kidnap you and if you do not give the ransom money, they will kill you, Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Achargeturry78 on September 25, 2016, 02:28:38 AM Not in public but in my friends because friends is most trusted than anybody. But sometimes I post some bitcoins advertisement in facebook to earn money but it is not details on how bitcoins earn. It is like earning bitcoin in some viewers. If they click on my link I earned bitcoin.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Fraxinus on September 25, 2016, 06:14:29 AM Well depens what you mean in public mate,yeah I've told people I use BTC if you really mean that,and I expect you mean that :D
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Zosuda on September 25, 2016, 08:46:11 AM Yeah i think all my family knows i use and spend bitcoin.
i dont consider is shady unless your spending on the deep web on bad things. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Seansky on September 25, 2016, 10:37:30 AM I just don't tell public that I use bitcoin unless people ask me if I use bitcoin or not. Well when friends ask me I tell them I use bitcoin but I don't tell just anyone that I use bitcoin since they don't need to know that I use bitcoin and many people don't now about bitcoin yet. If I tell them I use bitcoin, Ill have to answer a lot of questions and Ill have a hard time answering it all I think.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Daniel91 on September 25, 2016, 02:29:57 PM Not really.
Why? Because people are not interesting and don't want to listen. If I try to explain to hem that Bitcoin can be solution for their financial problems and, in the long term, can help them if they join now, they just laugh. I just give up. I talk about Bitcoin now only online, in the groups, forums and chat with other bTC users. It's waste of time try to talk about Bitcoin in the public. It's my experience. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: 20kevin20 on September 25, 2016, 02:31:05 PM Of course I do. Talking about something is the best way of advertising it (think about the moment when you heard of Coke's impressive taste, about a delicious food etc.. did you buy it?).
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Kvazimoda on September 25, 2016, 05:17:49 PM I reported this to all and sundry not tell. But some friends know about it. We exchange opinions. They treat it with understanding and interest
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: socks435 on September 25, 2016, 05:49:01 PM People are not sharing their knowledge or they dont publicity share bitcoin. is one of the selfish for me i share and tell it to my friends so that they know about it and learn how to business with bitcoin..
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: BingoDog on September 25, 2016, 06:00:24 PM It depends on the people I'm with. I try to share my knowledge about Bitcoin and try to make it more popular among my friends also by telling them how I use it in my everyday life. But I don't speak about this with people at work because I know majority of them don't support the Bitcoin and I don't trust them.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Fraxinus on September 25, 2016, 07:57:08 PM Not really. Yeeah you can't make people use something or listen to what you say if they themselves aren't ready for thisWhy? Because people are not interesting and don't want to listen. If I try to explain to hem that Bitcoin can be solution for their financial problems and, in the long term, can help them if they join now, they just laugh. I just give up.

Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Niya on September 27, 2016, 05:43:38 PM No, I think it is not the right time yet to tell it (at least in the country I live).
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: BitMaxz on September 27, 2016, 05:45:58 PM No, I think it is not the right time yet to tell it (at least in the country I live). Here in my country its open to share about bitcoin and my friends are know that i am using bitcoin thats why i am motivating them to use bitcoin also and present gambling if they can afford to gamble there they need to invest in bitcoin,,Many of my friends dont want bitcoin because its scam but i show them my money in bitcoin that we ca witdraw bitcoin instantly. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: BADecker on September 27, 2016, 06:36:29 PM The stock market is 70% overvalued ...
crash now inevitable (http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/204372-2016-09-27-the-stock-market-is-70-overvalued-crash-now-inevitable.htm) https://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Uploads/Graphics/693-0927072750-stock-market.jpg (http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/204372-2016-09-27-the-stock-market-is-70-overvalued-crash-now-inevitable.htm) Author Charles Dickens' classic, A Tale of Two Cities, begins this way: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness ... ." According to one stock market analytical firm, GMO, today's market behavior resembles Dickens' book, which was published in 1859 and was set during the time of the French Revolution some seven decades earlier. As the firm noted, in recent days much of the investing and financial world was focused on a meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, attended by Federal Reserve chairperson Janet Yellen. But GMO analysts were watching other things and events happening in the market. In August, the firm noted in its monthly report – reproduced in part by Zero Hedge – that Shiller P/E, a respected metric for measuring U.S. equities valuation, surpassed 27. Given that normally its range is somewhere slightly above 16, it appears that valuations are looking a bit larger than they should be. What's more, GMO noted, the last time the Shiller P/E was above 27 was in October 2007, "and we all know how that movie ended," the GMO report said. 'A tale of mediocrity, at best' And though no one at the analytical firm is saying that the nation and the world are set to experience another Great Recession and near-meltdown of the global economic order – and nothing is written in stone saying that stocks are not allowed to become more expensive – "we continue to maintain our bias against U.S. stocks," the firm said in its report. At the same time, the firm said, it was tracking a widening disconnect between fundamentals of the U.S. economy, corporate America and their stocks. "It really is a tale of two cities," the analytics firms said, "one of mediocre fundamentals versus a meteoric rise in markets." In assembling some relevant metrics pertaining to the overall health of the economy and some top-line/bottom-line figures from the S&P 500 index, the firm looked at gross domestic product growth, productivity and household income, in addition to some others like revenue and earnings for U.S. stocks, just to round out the assessment. "It is a tale of mediocrity, at best," the firm wrote in its report. After that, analysts contrasted those metrics with actual market returns of the S&P 500 Index spanning the past five years. "Truly meteoric," the firm wrote, adding this caveat: "As an aside, we at GMO have always been leery of drawing too many investment conclusions from staring at economic data–we are more valuation-oriented, after all–but even we are struck by the divergence."

Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Shiroslullaby on October 09, 2016, 03:12:08 PM I work with computers, so most people at work at least know what Bitcoin is.
I've been talking with some people recently about Blockchain technology, because I believe it will be very big in the future. If you can invest in the right startup, you stand to make a lot of money. One of these blockchain startups is going to be the next Microsoft/ Google. (Or at least get bought by one of those companies lol.) Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: eaLiTy on October 09, 2016, 03:20:14 PM what is wrong with telling people about bitcoin and its technology,i have informed and guided peeps about bitcoin and the first doubt everyone ask is ,is this legal and will it land them in trouble ;D some are amused and some feel it too much to absorb.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: btctube on October 09, 2016, 03:28:18 PM I don't mind mentioning in the public that I use bitcoin. there is a store in our country which accepts bitcoin and i guess going inside there possibly pay them using btc and i'm one of them.

I tried it once to tell it to my family and they were happy at first. And then they were puzzled on how it works since there is no physical money involved. Yes, it is just a matter of convincing and good explanation. It is good that you became part of the reason why bitcoin was become more and more popular.

Post by: buxlover on October 14, 2016, 03:48:59 AM I do speak about bitcoins in public with my friends, But the reaction i get is usually, why are you doing illegal business? you may end up in jail.
Their biggest question and am not able to convince them just by talking is, How can a currency exist without any company, group or board controlling it?. Mostly i will not try to explain them more, I'll just direct them to bitcoin.org or some exchange and sometimes to a page about mining. Nowadays i just don't care what they think and doesn't bother to explain to them. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin?

Post by: dimonchik13 on October 14, 2016, 10:19:40 AM And why bother to say that you use Bitcoin? You say how much and in what currency you earn? Bitcoin is used a very great number of people. What to talk about?
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Dizaster2015 on October 14, 2016, 01:23:57 PM Bitcoin is absolutely not a reliable means of payment. I think it is too early to talk about it as currency. Maybe it don't need to ban myself collapse.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: malikusama on October 14, 2016, 11:11:59 PM I have told some of my friends about bitcoins and ask them if they are interested in it or not. In my perspective we should tell and encourage people to avail the opportunities like bitcoin. Till now in my country bitcoin isn't illegal or ban so there is nothing wrong to tell more people about this.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: techgeek on October 15, 2016, 04:38:30 AM I don't have any problems with mentioning bitcoin in public.

Post by: carlisle1 on October 15, 2016, 05:59:33 AM actually , i don't have to tell other people that i am using bitcoin if they wouldn't understand what i am talking about . they though that it was about hacking someone's account or even making a scam so i can make it easy to have money ;D some of them thinking it wasn't true i am just making my time wasted for it .
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Daniel91 on October 16, 2016, 10:31:26 AM Not really.
In fact, many people around me are scared even to try Internet banking or to use Internet to order or pay something :) People are also very skeptic about Internet. I think, if I will ask people around me, if they ever heard about Bitcoin, 90-95 % will answer no. If I will try to explain them benefits of Bitcoin, they will not listen. So, I don't intent to waste my time and energy on it. If somebody ask me about Bitcoin, I will explain but otherwise, I will not loose my time on it. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Mr. Green on October 16, 2016, 10:59:26 AM Why wouldn't i? As far as i know it is not illegal to use bitcoin. So telling about it can do no bad.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: salemon on October 16, 2016, 11:03:32 AM Not really. I'm asking how to earn bitcoin? And how much they can earn in a day?

Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: jamids on October 17, 2016, 01:39:08 PM No, I don't for now because I am still waiting for the time when I earn enough bitcoin and show to them that it's worth it. My friends don't even know about it and I will only tell them if I will begin to cash out and then show to them that I have a sideline online that can possibly help me in achieving my financial goals. That's why I am accumulating as much bitcoin as possible and then add it to my trading capital because I view it as my best way to earn bitcoin. Though I can earn bitcoin through signature campaign, it's not just enough because a month of signature campaign can be earned in just one trade if the timing is right.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: shanem on October 17, 2016, 03:02:03 PM No, I don't really tell anybody that I use bitcoin unless they ask me. We are the minority as majority of the people don't even know anything about bitcoin.
It would take maybe a decade before bitcoin or other cryptocurrency can be introduced to the mass successfully. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: ronaldo40 on October 17, 2016, 03:09:29 PM just a few friends my environment and my family. because I think also they will not know bitcoin, and bitcoin fact still rarely known. but I have a motorcycle and have a sticker bitcoin. also likes to use bitcoin clothes. maybe if they bitcoin users, they will greet me.

Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: lucki777 on October 17, 2016, 06:54:14 PM yes i can tell it easily, i think there is nothing wrong to say that, and the second is that i ma felling proud when telling about this to some one or even in public.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: ownBTC on October 19, 2016, 03:59:39 AM Yes, because I try to encourage them too to use bitcoin, and earn because of its continual increasing value.

It's maybe because we are in a rural area and only a few recognized bitcoin as a currency.

I've tried to explained my family what bitcoin is, how is it obtained and how it is changing the world. It was not an easy task. But I think I was successful in doing that but I can't do that for other people.

I believe that this crypto currency has the ability to be the future of money as we know it, and hope that its popularity continues to grow and more people become involved in Bitcoin.

Looked like he was really interested. Also, whenever they're llaning on buying something online, i offer to show them and buy with bitcoin. :D Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Tyrantt on October 25, 2016, 10:36:21 AM Well as long as you live in a country where bitcoin isnt banned, then why not? As long as you dont go around preaching and trying to shove the btc into peoples head. :D
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: ymer on October 25, 2016, 10:51:44 AM I introduced bitcoins to people around me and also to my friends and family but most of them were not interested in knowing it or putting their money into it as they feel that bitcoin will not survive in long run.

I once told my family about it and they were amaze about bitcoin. They could not believe about it that you can earn real money through it. But because of its compexity and it seems complicated, they do not want to try it. They cannot comprehend how you are able tobearn through it. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: mrkevio on October 31, 2016, 08:55:51 AM Why wouldn't we? We need Bitcoin to become popular because it'd be even in our advantage. The price would rise a lot because the more people are coming, the more Bitcoin is wanted so we need a higher price. Also it'd be in our advantage because we would have more places and POIs where we can pay with Bitcoin at. I'm talking to others about Bitcoin because it's even in my own interest.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Bitcoingiver on October 31, 2016, 09:11:56 AM Yes I do tell and I really love to do so.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: densuj on October 31, 2016, 09:17:55 AM I don't tell it in public because in my opinion it is waste my time and it needs place and many people for explaining about bitcoins and cryptos coins, i just told to my friends personal, it is more comfort than explaining about bitcoins on many people.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: virasisog on November 01, 2016, 09:45:26 AM not in public but mostly to my friends although i am not going to hide it as i have also draw bitcoin logo on my bike and i think that is the most exp loser of bitcoin in public and most of the time people ask me about that and then i use to tell me a detail story of bitcoin and they really appreciate it and show interest to start it. That was great ,i am sure the person who ask dont heard any news about bitcoin they totally innocent in the first place ,I will be gald if one of those will do bitcoins and continue because most of my friends out of only starts on first time then a weeks after they will stop and say it is so hard to earn bitcoins.Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Jessica136 on November 01, 2016, 10:35:04 AM yes of course... I do..
what's wrong with BTC? Why shouldn't I tell about the BTC? Instead of hiding about BTC, I ENCOURAGE my friends and make them understand how important the bitcoin for daily life is! Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin?

When the opportunity arises I tell people about Bitcoin. I also tell them about other cryptocurrencies. Funny how suddenly they ask how come I am knowledgeable about these things. They are usually suspicious at first - because for them money is something they can touch and count. But I show them for example a credit card and tell them.. is this money? They say yes. But I tell them.. but this is only plastic card... but you know the value of this card because you know how it works. I tell them you use credit card with the money you do not have , to buy things you do not need, to impress people you do not like. Then i tell them about BITCOIN.. it is real currency. Just because you dont understand it right now - does not make it unreal. Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: mostkey on November 03, 2016, 01:12:57 PM I tell some of my friends but no one knows what bitcoin is :D and suddenly I laugh at their confuse face :D then they ask me bitcoin and I show them, but they still confuse and make my laugh harder :D but there is still a smart friends who knows about bitcoin but they don't use it.

Knowing how they can possibly earn and how big it can be that way i gather interest from them.Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: olubams on November 03, 2016, 02:07:22 PM Personally I dont and its due to the low popularity of Bitcoin over here and also the perception of people around in that they believe anything not sanctioned of given approval by government, is definitely illegal.
Another factor is the anonymity of Bitcoin which does not give room for any form of identification so my neighbor could be involved in Bitcoin, and I wont know this and many other factors limits my ability to say it boldly about Bitcoin but I have friends that are involved too so we just discussed about it... Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: MWesterweele on November 03, 2016, 02:11:52 PM Is Bitcoin still considered shady in the public opinion or government opinion? From 2011: It's not a secret CIA dudes read this forum. I tried for long time to keep my nationality obscured but eventually I've blown it. I've also found out that Romanian Intelligence Service keeps noting on Romanians that use Bitcoin. Not for the security of the state but for personal reasons. Please note that in Romania, a country with 22.000.000 people there are officially 200.000 mobile phone taps. No I dont tell because I made it secret because its extra income. I do not want allow some people to know my extra opportunity in life haha. I just dont want it. Maybe I guess I am shy to tell to my friends about this.

Maybe I guess I am shy to tell to my friends about this. this is not because you are shy but you are jealous that your relatives or friends will earn as much as you earn and you want to shine in front of them showing off . Just share the light and be happy rather than having a shallow mindTitle: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: The_prodigy on November 03, 2016, 03:14:00 PM Yup i always tell to my friends or in public that i am using bitcoin why to hide the real ? When you are really working it to the good thing bitcoin is not bad for me as long as you are earning it from legal ways i believed that bitcoin will be understandable to those people who really confused about it. Wait for the right time.
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: Betwrong on November 03, 2016, 04:15:45 PM Since when I was talking about Bitcoin in public I mostly was seeing faces full of surprise or, what was even worse, faces telling me that they don't care just with their eyes, I almost have stopped mentioning BTC in public. But when I hear someone is talking about it of course I'm joining to the conversation with pleasure.

My friend is also interested cryptocurrency after I told him about this Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: VasyaPupkin on November 04, 2016, 07:26:47 AM No, I do not tell anyone about this. Rather, I have no one asks about it. But if someone is interested, I certainly will tell about cryptocurrency and how to use it
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: alien161016 on November 05, 2016, 07:28:29 PM I do not hide from anyone that I use Bitcoin. Many people think that it is illegal. But I do care about their opinion, because I know that Bitcoin is a very promising cryptocurrency
Title: Re: Do you tell in public that you use bitcoin? Post by: _Miracle on November 05, 2016, 09:15:57 PM I think another good question to ask with this one is: what country do you live in?
It is easier for me as an American to openly use cryptocurrencies, and also for me to have the expectation that it remains legal to do so. There may be some on here who take a higher risk. |
