Bitcoin Forum

Only yesterday's television shows here in our country could be a bad thing when you get involved with bitcoins. I'm so frustrated that the tv host has shown that bitcoins are a scam. Because of the fact that he has made many people will definitely not try to enter the bitcoins yet. And because that would be like an investment scheme that looks at bitcoins. That's not really true because bitcoins used to do bad things. And what I was most disappointed was that this tv host did not say the good side of bitcoins.

Now my question is how we can explain to those who watch tv that bitcoins is not a pyramiding scheme.

Your English is lousy, which leads me to believe that you're in a country that I don't give a shit about--and that includes your television programming.   Not that you mumbled enough details to give us any idea what this program said anyway.

Who cares what the great unwashed masses think?  Your country probably has a large proportion of those, so don't waste your precious time trying to communicate the greatness of bitcoin.  You'd be ineffective anyway, methinks.  Grab what crypto you can, and when these booger eaters finally catch up, you'll be balling.

don't bother explaining it, let anyone who thinks bitcoin is scam, pyramid, ponzi,... continue thinking that way. i want less people buying bitcoin now that i am buying so that i can buy more as long as bitcoin is still cheap. if they start changing their minds now, price would rise and i can buy less amount with my fiat.

and these people will understand how they fell for a stupid FUD when they start seeing "bitcoin is accepted here" signs everywhere. if they happen to go to Japan now, they can see them already in a lot of shops.

OP,the sad truth is that watching TV makes people stupid.It`s brainwashing.
I don`t watch TV and i`m just fine.The majority of the people who watch TV are old and not very tech savvy.
They wouldn`t care about bitcoin anyway,because they aren`t involved with computers and internet that much.There are other stupid newbies ,who were scammed by some btc ponzi promisisng 1000% profit and they shout "oh,bitcoin is a scam!".We just can`t make stupid people smart...

Is anyone told that bitcoin are scam? Because bitcoin is money how it is become scam? We know that bitcoin use for some investment so the investment are scam and not the bitcoin but we really know that if bitcoin does use by the scammer, bitcoin mustbe affected and somebody thought that bitcoin must affect.

In my opinion,
 We do not need to explain to people who think bitcoin is a scam.You just have to buy this buy it from work in bitcoin.
And those who consider bitcoin scam.Will feel jealous of seeing you succeed.

We ca not change their mind by simply giving them a proof of transaction. Media is one of the most powerful source of information it can manipulate the thoughts of people in just one sentence saying that bitcoin is a scam in television nation wide can affect their thinking about specific subject like bitcoin. But if you know to your self that bitcoin is not scam you are so lucky than other believing to that news thinking that bitcoin is a scam.

We can start by telling someone's success story with bitcoin, I think this is the simple way. Bitcoin is not a scam because some people live with bitcoin.
to convince him we need proof, maybe like making money from bitcoin.

It is a hard task t do because the damage has been done. The misconception is already in their heads or at least it has a bad reputation for them now. Another thing to point out is that what we can only do is try to explain that Bitcoin is just a currency that it is so valuable many people are trying to get it in terms of criminal activities and scams which Bitcoin itself cannot do alone as a currency cannot be a scam itself. But even trying to explain that will still make people not believe you.

For me we can explain it in a way that we will prove or giving them a prove that bitcoin is not a scam instead we could learn from it and earn in it. If they not really satisfy in our explanation then its not our problem anymore if they dont believe. The more important is you know in yourself that bitcoin is not a scam it's an oppurtunity for everyone.

What country are you from? It looks like propaganda. They want to discourage people from investing in BTC. Sad :(

I guess your from Philippines too, I had watch some news also tackling bitcoins and scam associated with it. Yet since not all people are aware ad fully understand btc even those reporters, they have not make clarifications that bitcoin itself is not definitely scam but only those pseudo investments working like networking or pretending to be trading business operated by fake personalities. So I guess the most effective way to justify that btc is not scam is to inform people that btc is just a digital currency which unfortunately those scammer had chose to be their medium of transaction.

Me i use my salary to tell them that bitcoin is not scam maybe some sites use it to earn money thats why they scam some people. They need also read more articles to have more knowledge.

How could Bitcoin be a scam?

The only thing I can think of is early on some early adopters acquired tens of thousands of Bitcoins. If someone were to sell them all off, they could crash the market. But would it kill Bitcoin? Would is destroy crypto? I don't think so.

Media as the mainstream of disseminating news could also be the mainstream of disseminating false news. No wonder why the internet is more reliable today than these stupid false news as far as disseminating of information is concerned. Why bother yourself trying to tell those people who've watched the fake news that bitcoin is legit? Bitcoin is always and always be legit. It's just other group of persons or entities doing some stupid things under the shed of BITCOINS that made you feel that way.

Media is obviously one of the most powerful crate , they have the power to change people's opinion about something,
What i see is that government is behind all this , they don't want people to use Bitcoins, because they fear that they won't be able to tax charges, peek into accounts , the worst part is that they want to control BTC which they can never do .

And coming to Bitcoins being used In bad things , we all know that ever currency had been used to fund Illegal activities.

I tend to be more indifferent to respond to this if anyone ask me if the bitcoin is a scam and than I will answer NOT and if he needs explanation I will explain with the proof.

if anyone ever doubts what bitcoin is you can always show them the reality of what bitcoin is by redirecting them to all the big places that are accepting bitcoin. there are already multiple topics about it and with a quick google search you can find much bigger lists.

my favorite are these: Microsoft, Overstock, Steam, Dell and of course Japan accepting bitcoin as payment. showing them a couple of these should be more than enough for anyone to understand why "those people on TV" are full of shit when they call bitcoin "Fraud" ;)

Don't explain it to them. Let them explain it to themselves. There are so many proofs in the internet that bitcoin is not a scam, a ponzi, or a hyip scheme and one thing, many people saying one thing as a scam but they don't know the definition of scam themselves or just never mind them. Let them think it.

I think I've watched the same TV show about bitcoin and yes they only show the bad side of this currency interviewing a person who got himself involved in a scam investment which is actually happens in a normal fiat currency investments not showing how great and bitcoin is they are always one sided bias mainstream media and it makes me angry even in politics. they didn't understand well how and what the bitcoin is just interviewing a scammed individual and that's it and that may cause a bad impression to the people who are new to this currency.

          The way you deliver your statement is not really clear what you are trying to point out, the only thing i understand is that you were trying to say that there's a propaganda in a television that was bad mouthing bitcoin yesterday. I don't think so, and besides you don't have to explain it them why and what, just let them find out for themselves, and if you are going to convince them about bitcoin, you are just forcing them to believe you, and you are just proving that bitcoin has no difference between those ponzi in the internet.

We can use names of the personalities that are popular for starters.
Then we can use some examples of the testimonies of people who already profited from it.
Also, make an example of the people who are using it for deals and transactions.
You can use yourself to make it a lot better.

We don't really have to explain ourselves to their shoes, besides we have witnessed how bitcoin had given us opportunities and so much other stuffs, so why do we have to explain? If they are not interested about it let them talk, do not explain further, you're just wasting your time to those who don't even want to listen any single word you want to say.

for me it's hard to trust it's hard to invest money on a site that we do not know its legal..fore i think bitcoin its not a scam because allofmy friend that proof that bitcoin is legal because I found that they earned money and 2010 bitcoin started and no one  was scam.is yet bitcoin is alive and for me i will try it to earn some money

Bitcoin is far from scam. It is not worth it to call bitcoin a kind of scam. The television host was not educated about bitcoin so this is what they thought about bitcoin. They talk about what they do not know and they are wrong about that. Bitcoin is a source of extra income generator and many of the users are experiencing the benefits of bitcoin and if bitcoin is a scam, then it must be banned from being used but we can see thag bitcoin is still prospering and the number of users are still increasing so it is not worthy to be called a scam.

First don't bother to answer silly people's questions or people who are considering bitcoin a scam,fraud schemes and ponzi schemes. Bitcoin has hater and lover both and concentrate on how you can benefit from bitcoin. Secondly if they are close to you and if you want them to share for any reason then make sure that you know enough things about bitcoin and their pros & cons so that you can answer to their questions in much better way. Just show them the important links,blogs and websites on bitcoins which will clear the confusion in their mind, And if they don't believe it then leave it and concentrate on your business and not on them.

First thing is what the host said is not a fact but purely accusation, if it was a fact then it should be backed by information about bitcoin but did the host said that? I think not, most probably what this host reported is just about the ways on how bitcoin was used of course there are others that use bitcoin for illegal activities and if you are in the media business it is much better to tell something bad about it just to gain more publicity. Best advice i can give you is to do your own research dont believe what the media is telling. The media are backed with prominent people who is gaining more from them.

There are many people that still consider as investing in stocks as a "scam". I believe you cannot change the mind of such people by explaining bitcoin, but obviously it should be the first step to be done. The better way is to let such people experience what bitcoin is and how straight-forward it is to use... They don't even need to exactly know all the details on how bitcoin works. The speed at which you can pay people at the other side of the world or just around your corner is the same, but only by using bitcoin they can feel this.

Bitcoin is likely a scam for those who are victims of scammers through Bitcoin so blame it to the people who first introduced it to them. People were so obsessed to get rich instantly so they're using Bitcoin to scam.
But the more effective way is to educate them on a proper way like introducing them this site forum and give them some links like YouTube and Bitcoin news.
Earning Bitcoin's requires no hard earned money but patience.

Base on me Bitcoin is not a scam how can u said a scam if you can earn Bitcoin with your time effort and being a positive person its on you if you involved in something that can be scam you.

This is one of the simplest thing to explain to anyone because even without bitcoin, the moment you are greedy, you cab easily get scammed and the same thing applies to bitcoin. Never be too greedy. The moment the explanation is sounded live and direct to anybody coming into bitcoin you don't even need tonbother yourself because one thing is that you cannot control the behavior of everybody but you can control your own response to whatever you see.

You are right mate. He should never pay attention of what others think that bitcoin is a scam it only brings stress to him, those people who have give negative critics to bitcoin is surely did not fully understand of what is bitcoin. Going back about the TV host who aired about bitcoin and give it a negative image maybe it is not fair to published their negative opinion nationwide without thoroughly understanding it. Yes bitcoin can be use to scam, everything can be scam if used abusively but for us who are a bitcoin earner we really appreciate the goodness of bitcoin and we are always encouraging all of my friends to visit bitcointalk forum so that they will know the world of bitcoin and to make them understand that it is not a scam.

Maybe the television show you're watching is less information about bitcoin. It's easy if you explain that bitcoin is not a hoax, show everyone that you can earn money from bitcoin, show me proof that you are successful with bitcoin. That's enough if somebody doubts the bitcoin.

It's better not to explain if someone think bitcoin is a scam,you don't have any advantage over proving about bitcoin to someone.But if you still want to teach him about bitcoin first show your bitcoin wallet and transaction details to the person who you want to explain because action speaks louder than words.Then he will understand the value of bitcoin in your country then he will do research about bitcoin by himself because everyone want to be rich in this world.

Honestly speaking i dont really mind on how they see bitcoin. Many of us experience scamming but then again i dont give up im still fighting. I think it is better for them to experience to deal with bitcoin first and its up for them on how they judge bitcoin.

sometimes explaining things that are way too obvious are much harder than explaining other not-so-obvious things. it would be like explaining to someone why earth is round and not flat!


these TV hosts are usually uneducated about bitcoin and the program's writer never did a proper research about bitcoin. they probably did a quick google search about bitcoin being scam and found some poorly written article which are a lot these days and copy pasted the test for their next program on air.
you should know that these type of programs on TV don't have that much of an effect on bitcoin and its adoption really.

Technology has taken over. Its there in revelations. Cash holdings is outdated already.

But do you believed bitcoin is a scam?

Well its gonna hard to explain to the people specially those who are very close minded one who thinks that bitcoin is a scam or pyramiding scheme. So If I where you, will not bother to explain and point what bitcoin is. Is their lost if they believed what the TV host has said about bitcoin. That's how media portray bitcoin by the way, so don't be surprised by it. Because the more you explain bitcoin to others, the more they think you are crazy. ;D. Let them discover what bitcoin can do to them. They will soon realized that bitcoin is not as bad as they think.

Would you mind telling me the name of the TV show you have just watched? Because it is really bad that Bitcoin's reputation is getting hurt by the mass media with this kinds of reporters and program hosts that don't even know what they are talking about. And of course being what they are people will automatically believe them except for people who know Bitcoin of course. The only thing we can do is to right our own blog or burn this reporter in his or her social media account.

In my side,really hard to explain people who think bitcoin is a scam.Doesn't need to show them what the bitcoin purposes and what have bitcoin given to us.We need to work and work from bitcoin,and doesn't have care about others what the profit do we have monthly.

Bitcoin is not a scam and it is really existed and having a high value in the comparison of other currencies. Many people are successful because of bitcoin so we can’t say that this is a scam it is most popular and reliable currency in the world. I strongly believe in bitcoin and I will make myself successful through investment in bitcoin in the few coming days I am going to invest my 80% of money.

Maybe what OP's trying to say is the news here in our country, Philippines, which a TV station says that bitcoin is just a scam just because of the bitcoin scammers. I don't know how they came up to that conclusion just because there are scammers using the name of bitcoin, pretty narrow minded people. Anyways, we don't have to explain to them that bitcoin is legit, let them believe what they just said to the public.

It would be better if you are just going to be quite and keep on earning bitcoin, that way, you could show them the results of bitcoin, for example , buy a sports car which can't be bought by a simple citizen.

I had a few people very close to me who were initially thinking that Bitcoin was some sort of a scheme like a year or so ago. No matter how much explaining I did, they wouldn't believe that it wasn't a scheme.

They made it look like I was talking nonsense because for them, something that isn't issued and controlled by the government, is a scheme by default. It was impossible for them to accept/understand the decentralization aspect.

I am not wasting any time with such people because they are too stubborn and ignorant to look further than their own deluded logic. If you want to believe that Bitcoin is a scheme, then fine, continue being a slave of the system.

This thoughts also come to my mind the moment I watched the television on their news regarding bitcoin and the scam that a person had experience from it. I initially thought that this will have a great impact in the bitcoin community, bit then I remember that it does not only exist in our country but in the whole world who have actually experience that it is not a scam for as long as we know where to find investment we can have and proper way to join in bitcoin. I think we can only prove to all those who will not believe that scam only happens to people who doesn't know what it actually is and make them see how it benefitted all of us.

To explain bitcoin, and about its legitimacy is possible. It requires a better explanation to be given describing the conversion possible. Still lots of scam investments run around, which gives an negative thinking for the users who have been getting into bitcoin for the first time. Just because of these scam investments people think Bitcoin as a scam.

You don't need to explain it with them anymore. It would just be a waste of time. If they don't believe that bitcoin is real, then let them be. If the think bitcoin is a scam, then let the be. You will still earn from bitcoin no matter what, it wouldn't even affect you profit in any ways possible. Media is meant to spread news regardless if it is truth or not. You can't expect them to promote bitcoin most specially if it's not yet legalized in your country.

If I try to explain bitcoin as virtual currency only, most of my friends will be skeptic.
Also, it's to difficult to explain technology behind bitcoin.
So, I usually first explain that bitcoin is widely used, that many merchants accept bitcoin, that we already have bitcoin debit cards, bitcoin ATM etc.
When they become interested, I explain some technical things.

Well it happens, considering the fact that bitcoin is not yet legalized in the whole world yet so we should not be surprised that some locals will try to bring its name down. Television is for those who believe easily so if you are going to believe that bitcoin is a scam without any evidence, then you are just like those people who go with the flow. Also, you should just let them deny bitcoin, you don't need to problem them anymore and just keep on earning.

This is super important in the context of the commentary that is currently circulating, and will continue to intensify. The path of least resistance to BTC continuing to rise, is to leverage main stream populations to become involved at scale. The only way that happens is if our side of the debate is better at presenting our case. The fact is this is technology that most people do not understand. Starting with the basics and fundamentals is critical because without that base of knowledge it is hard for non believers to actually understand what we are talking about. I think we lack enough people to articulate a coherent argument to this question.

That guy and the "unwashed masses" are future customer for your sponsor Pundi.  You do not represent them well.

I saw it in the TV yesterday about that and I hate it when those word appear in his mouth. Let's just say to them and prove they are wrong by showing them our transactions in bit coin and also the results of that said transaction

you don't have to explain anything to anyone. the community is educated enough and those skeptical fools will always exist and I doubt they will even cause the slightest dent.

we can start by giving information about what bitcoin is and why bitcoin can not be duplicated, so can bitcoin in say virtual currency because if it can be duplicated or in fake it will make the currency fall. but what happens to bitcoin the longer the price increases and indeed this bitcoin is a digital currency that is impossible to fake because it is in the know the number of scattered in the world and has never been there at all who can hijack this currency so it is still quite safe both for transactions and investments so bitcoin is something that is real not a scam

We cannot prevent other people in using bitcoin in illegal activities or even sometimes scam this main reason why some people don't believe in bitcoin especially does who experience being scam. What we can do is to explain to people to be wise and study first before investing into something. Bitcoin is a good venture but since it is not regulated it can be use in illegal things this must be cleared to those new in crypto currency.

I think I know what country you came from. And I did watched the part where bitcoin was negatively introduced to people.

I think they said it right mate. Bitcoin was used to scam people. Not the bitcoin itself. We all know that all hyip investment scheme are all ponzi scheme. They were all scam. They just give awareness to all people who were trying to enter an investment.

But on the contrary, they did brainwashed the people. People will think that bitcoin is a scam. But who cares anyway ? As long as we all know what bitcoin really is. It's their loss not us.

Scam is always present not only in bitcoins but also on other form of money or currency.  I think what you mean is to not generalized bitcoins and its users by just a single or two cases of scam that were revealed or announced.  TV is really a powerful media for spreading this kind of news or issues so I think they should give proper choice of words to avoid misunderstanding.

Don't trust the mass media. It doesn't serve most people. I suggest you go to professional exchange forums and communities to learn about bitcoin. It's more convincing than the TV station.

I can till you in few words that it is not scam because i have earned a lot of bitcoins and used it for my daily usage and still have invested a lot in online trade so i can quote its not scam or stuff like that.

It was in the past. Now, absolutely we will have way to explain people who think Bitcoin is a scam. In my country, there is a popular university has accepted their students use Bitcoin to pay school fee. There are also some "ATM Bitcoins" are being built in my coutry.

I think there is no need at all to explain to someone is something a scam or not,people should use common sense and all the information available to find something to themselves.At least in the present time it is very easy to get the right information,but some simply have their own theories and nothing can convince them to the contrary.The best example to show them that BTC is not a scam it will be time and successful BTC.At a certain point the greatest skeptics will change their mind.

we can not explain to them if they don't want to accepted bitcoin and only thinking that bitcoin is a scam. i think its better to avoid this person and its better to find other people which open minded with something new especially new technology so we can explain to other person about bitcoin. it is difficult to explain something if people still rejected the things and don't want to know about the new things. we can not push them to accept bitcoin if they don't want to use bitcoin or know bitcoin.

I knew what television show is that.  Sad that they did not do an indepth research about bitcoin.  My boyfriend's father even told me that bitcoin is scam because of the show.  He knew that I am into it.  I told him that the bitcoin itself is not a scam.  Only the sites that promises income through bitcoin are.

I will show them the earnings I have and will shared them information about bitcoin.  It is up to them if they will see bitcoin that way.  I will just continue what I am doing.

Let them think that it is a scam.
What they do not know is we are earning a lot just by purchasing bitcoin.
Let them believe what they think.
They wil regret it later.

That does not explain that why this is not a scam or a ponzi  :P.  The first and foremost thing is,it is decentralized cryptocurrency, the ease of storage and how easily you could send transactions without much trouble and with lower transaction fees,that might change in the future as the price increases the transaction charges also increases .Ponzi is entirely different as the operator generates returns from new investors,so you cannot coin them here.

I'ts hard to explain if you don:t have any experience to get scammed becuase as my experience i know that if the project is scam or fraud you need to always see if the project is active and you need to see if thebproject have a poof that their project is not a scam , for me explaining  is hard.

We can't and we don't. Or at least, i'm very tired of this, so i usually don't put much energy into these kind of explanations.

whether by telling everyone that bitcoin is not a scam then you will get an abundant advantage? I do not think so. I live in a country that does not like bitcoin, but this is not a problem for me. bitcoin is the global currency and anyone is entitled to own it if you really want it. take advantage of the time you spend focusing on your bitcoin position, it's better than seeing bad news on TV about bitcoin.

its hard to explain to them about bitcoin isn't scam if they thing that bitcoin is scam, maybe they need a proof that bitcoin is not scam like legit investment that you already done. after you got some profit you can show them about the result and i hope that the result can make them change their mind about bitcoin

They've been calling Bitcoin a slam since the beginning.

The ones who do, are those who missed out the price gains.  They can't stand it when others are making money and they're not.

Ignore them.

Are girls scam too? do you think it's possible to jump a girl without paying/buying her with real and HARD cash? when you can jump them by paying with Bitcoin then it's not a scam for sure. I like it when the reporters on television say something about Bitcoin, sooner or later the world will have no choice other than acknowledging Bitcoin. they can't ignore it like they do now, though some countries might refrain from showing any interest towards crypto currencies to stay low profile while accumulating.

It will be hard to explain that Bitcoin is not a scam. Some people still think that it is a financial pyramid. Even if it was it, it would be one of the best ones right? It's a matter of time before they realise that Bitcoin is a good method to accept and send payments. We can only try to explain how Bitcoin works and hope that it will be enough.

Actually you don't have to. Because, the people who are interested can explore via internet so that they can learn about bitcoin. Curious people are ahead of this because they always try to explore the things they are interested.

Nowadays its really hard to believe with other people speacially when money is involve. But if you  show them proof it will be much easier to explain that bitcoin is not a scam..

Many universities around the world start to learn and accept Bitcoin in payment. However, schools will not directly trade virtual currency that is entrusted to the business.

As time goes on the positive voices for Bitcoin will increase providing nothing serious happens. There are already some in the financial industry starting to make positive noises. As the price rises more people will reserch it and come on board. It's just a matter of time.

Due to popularity of bitcoin many people try to use it to scam those who are interested to earn bitcoin but has no knowledge about it. It's quite difficult to explain to people that botcoin is not a scam especially if they have experienced being scam at the most is tell people to be alert and wise in choosing an investment and show them the benefits you earn from bitcoin and the proper way to earn it

I have a idea just invest in it and get rich. After that show your ferrari and show your villa to them. They will understand that bitcoin is not a scam. They will then hurry to invest in btc.

But they will see that its too late. Lol.

You really cant cause it is not yours. What if turnsout to be a scam?
BTC is investment. And noone can give you advice on investment you have to make it your own

Do these people even know what pyramid schemes are? They are nothing like bitcoins. If they come to a conclusion without even reading up on the subject matter, you are not going to be able to convince them no matter what you say.

bitcoin are not scam the company not legit or not allowed to operate according to security and exchange commission as networking scheme using the bitcoin name as investment, i know that what are you trying to explain if you understand about the explanation of the representative from the government , the man invested in the wrong company are not affilite and recruit in the country so beware to the scammer you need to investigate the company before putting the investment.

Bitcoin is a good payment in the world and not a scam.
many company partnership with bitcoin to accepted for the payment.

Electronic money is an accepted payment method, supported in many countries such as Denmark, Norway ...

Sometimes you can't change somebody's view point that leads them to believe that bitcoin is a scam they are usually the type of person who believes every thing they hear on the news to be one hundred percent without looking more into it their self. Their loss really.

In addition to specialized diggers such as AntMiner, ASICMiner and VGA computers, Bitcoin Miners utilize devices such as USB, PS3, and HDD to take advantage of virtual currency.

Well, let's understand first what bitcoin is used for.
It has has a range of uses, including investing cash, funding companies (aka ICOs), transferring money, mining, trading, buying stuff etc.
You can use use it to spend online or in some local stores.
However it is commonly associated with criminal activity such as drug dealing, cyber crime and money laundering, since it can be near-impossible to associate a bitcoin wallet to any individual (yes every transaction can tracked properly as everything is available on the blockchain forever - but can't necessary link to an individual).

So saying it's a Scam is just like saying that Cash (Fiat Money) is a scam, as it can be literally used for good as well as bad things.

I agree with you, if they do not believe and think bitcoin is a fraud, you do not need to explain it to them anymore, because it's their right. later let the income we get that makes them regret for having considered bitcoin as a fraud.

I guess I know what it is, I saw it in my facebook newsfeed last week and I really hate those tv network especially when it comes to politics news because they are definitely bias and only reports about the negative side of society. But for me,  even if they spread those negative shitty news about bitcoins it will never affect the overall image of bitcoin in our country. Maybe only idiots who are uneducated with bitcoins will believe in those things because bitcoin is just a cryptocurrency, some peoples are just taking advantage of it and make it as a tool or a way to scam

Don't care about this if these shit channels are spreading negativity about bitcoin and cryptos.
First explain them through success stories of the bitcoin users, if even after this they don't believe no need to explain more just work and show them how you earn through it, your success will explain it all.

We need to care, as long as the mass media is spreading bad information about Bitcoin it will give the general public a bad first impression to Bitcoin. Our personal success story might not be enough for them to change their views about Bitcoin. The best thing for this not to happen again is the mass media admitting to their own mistake that they are bias on saying Bitcoin is totally a scam. It will be a hard task but overshadowing the news might help, overshadowing it with good news and price increases might make them change their news about Bitcoin.

True we watched it too,  they don't have any single idea what bitcoin really is and what the benefits we can get from it. If someone won't believe me i will show them the proof that i am.earning without investing. If they don't care. Why should I? For as long as i have a big trust in bitcoin, and I believe ik bitcoin. I am earning. If they will not believe in me. It their lost..

don't try to explain bitcoin to people can't believe bitcoin, if you try to explain for them it's just wasting your time.. we know bitcoin is not scam and that's enough.. it's better if we try to explain about bitcoin to our family and friends, I think they are can accept bitcoin..

In my opinion, it does not matter what kind of investment they try to bad mouth, Scam is always present in all kinds of investment and business. Being scammed depends on the people's knowledge about those investments. They have to do their own research, be open minded and know the process involved. Most of those being scammed just wanted to do nothing and earn money for free, which is too good to be true. If I remembered correctly, in the end of that TV program, the one who got scammed was questioned if he would still like to invest on bitcoin, he said yes but more careful (learned from his mistake), because he probably witnessed bitcoin's price rising.

The easiest way to verify or infirm if bitcoin is a scam is to send it to another bitcoin alley and if it gets confirmed then it is not a scam.

There is nothing to do, thank to the host because people will find the truth about bitcoin. Did you know? If someone talks about a bad news and becomes viral, then someone else will search for the truth of that news. I don't know how people respond about bitcoin in your country, but you don't have to do anything.
Bitcoin doesn't need promotion except our trust.

Explaining something to someone especially when it is related to money is somehow very difficult and would always provide doubt and skepticism. I, myself is not good in teaching and educating others. My technique when I'm trying to explain BTC to someone is that I just guide him to trusted sources  of information about it and I let him handle the research for it. He needs to understand it on his own without you intervening. Provide feedback when he has any question about it and let him decide if BTC is really for him.

OP is probably from Philippines or something like that, since there we're some news about bitcoin being a "bad" thing and a scam. That's like Russia or ISIS making a documentary on homosexual people and such, it's not worth even paying attention to it. Big players know what bitcoin is and that's what's important.

We don't have to convince people because it is all about their trust. once people's mind is imprinted in bad Ideas and fake news Then it will be rooted to them and after that it will be their nature. convincing is not really our Job, those people who really want to make money in the internet will gain trust and interest. Just Love what you are doing do not be affected by news. If there's a way there's a will. just Play the rhythm and let them feel the Melody.

Why would you bother explaning bitcoin to another person if he or she is not interested. You will just look like a scammer or desperate if you insist it to people that does not care about bitcoin.  Most likely  People who are interested with cryptocurrency will do their own research. Also sad to say but scammers are using bitcoin or altcoins to scam people. People who are already invested in bitcoin will stay with bitcoin no matter what they watch and if you say that the show misinformed people then that is a shitty show that bitcoin users will probebly just ignore.

Don't make it a burden to you, you don't need to waste your time explaining for those people don't want to believe to you about bitcoin. It's not your problem, give much time for bitcoin because you earn money from bitcoin.

Yes. Just like me. I believe in bitcoin through the experience of other people. I can see how there livelihood changed. Maybe its not really the bitcoin that is scam but to how it was introduced to you. Some may use bitcoin for scam but bitcoin itself is not a scam but a medium of exchange. Its the people who make platforms and do scams maybe.

first thing we needed to do is educate ourselves with what really bitcoin and cryptocurrency is.
because we can't deny the fact that there are so many users of bitcoin nowadays that doesn't even have the slightest idea what really cryptocurrency is.
they are engaged in here simply to ride with the boat and find additional source of income.
by doing so how can you be able to defend bitcoin if you don't even know it yourself.
therefore everyone must exert an effort to gain more knowledge about cryptocurrency.
:D

They do it because there's many people does not know about the bitcoin until now. They do it for their own needs because they think thay the bitcoin will be an obstacle for them.this is the truth but its sad to think that the media now is bias its not safe now. Because they got paid to spread the fake news. I suggest you to show the proof that you earned in bitcoin. Then its up to you how to convince them

That's why i talk only to people with same interest. It happens to me in the past when someone is asking if bitcoin is scam then i started talking then he keeps on saying it was a scam. It's hard to argue or educate someone that do not want to learn or to accept information. We can't force anyone to believe that's why i kept it to myself and if someone is interested that's the time i talk about bitcoin. I don't explain bitcoin with someone who has negative mind and don't want to listen.

People who believe bitcoin is a scam have close minds. Maybe the news in the television refers to those who use bitcoin to scam other people. For example, several investment schemes are circulating around the social medias persuading people to invest in their organization. Ofcourse, blinded by the promised profit, people who have no enough knowledge about bitcoin will be tricked. Bitcoin, itself, is real but some organizations use it to trick people for money hence creating a bad image for bitcoin. This is why we should all be cautious when it comes to dealing with bitcoins to avoid being scammed. However, we cannot please those who don't want to hear the good sides of bitcoins. The only thing that may convince them is an on-hand experience with it.

By showing your family friend or whoever you want to show, your bitcoins and how you make more money by investing in bitcoins this is probably the best way to make people understand that it is not a scam.

The reason why these scam accusations stems from comparing it to fiat, which is absurd.  1. you have to let people know that bitcoin is not money or cash.  Its is a cryptocurrency which in itself has a total different meaning, you store value into bitcoins.  I think you should compare them to gold when explaining it to people.  Bitcoins a total of 21 million will exist,  Gold we dont know how much gold we will keep getting from the ground.  There still tons of gold deposits, mines, that companies today are still mining, hence gold value is stuck or will decrease.  I believe people will always find gold.  I can go through a list of what you can use to compare, but you will have to do your research and if you know what bitcoin is, then I am sure you are smart enough to come up with an idea to explain it to all the 101 bitcoin dummies.

The easiest way to make bitcoin known in a positive way is to simply compare it with the normal currency. Try to explain  that it is also a form of payment that can be use in any activity. Just like any other currency, they can be also use as a mean for scamming. The mainstream is making bad image to people to make bad impression. People will only fully understand its use once they found it as a normal currency and not as an activity. But also tell them that bitcoin is more like an asset than a form of payment.

If you get rich show them your car and your big house they will understand that it is not a scam. After this they will surely begin to use bitcoin in order to get also rich.

Actually it is getting late to buy btc because the price is going higher.

Hinestly, it is very hard to convince people who are not open to new concept or investments. They just thought it was all scam or ponzi scheme. They just want easy money, which I conclude where scam comes in. Those who want “get to rich quick” opportunities are the one who are being easily scammed. Bitcoin has a great future ahead of it. It has great technology which fits in our future specially in financial sector.
TV shows, media has a big influence to its subscribers. They easily believe what it says, because of their so called reliable reporting, but sadly, people dont bother to research further. Dont push yourself convincing them bitcoin is not a scam. Though it is a social responsibility for us to inform them about bitcoin, but it is them who need to help themselves to learn and accept changes.

We have nothing to do they knowbthat bitcoin is not a scam but the point of that show is to kill bitcoin they make a segment where the bitcoin look and become a scam in the other people who dont know because it is all about business they dont like bitcoin so they where going to do a move to destroy it is just all about money.

Unfortunetely people easy believe that bitcoin is scam because they have been exposed to variety of different financial fraud scheems and advertisments for easy money so they think bitcoin is just another of them. The best way to convince them to the opposite it's not to explain them about theory, they will not buy it, but to teach them on practical example. Mabye the idea would be also to give them some small amount of bitcoins and explain what and how to do with the coins. Once they experinece it˙on their own and see the benefits they will no longer think bitcoin is scam.

That would be a good way. By sharing to people how bitcoin has changed, or rather, improved my life, it has convinced most that it is not a scam and even encouraged a lot to start investing on it. I have showed some my wallet and how I was able to cash out some bitcoins in the past and I believe it has made people believe that bitcoin is not a scam and it actually real. We can't help for some people to have their doubts but we could only do so much to change the mind of a close minded individual.

Check the video on the following post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2339658.0 it contains quite good explanation on how things work and where is the value coming from.

There are a lot of thing’s which can prove that bitcoin is not a scam but I will tell some of the things about bitcoin first of all you don’t need to give something bitcoin is going to give you so bitcoin is a digital currency and it’s a very good source of income of people and bitcoin is now very strong and popular in market now with high price.

Been here, done that a lot of times. And yes you don't argue with someone who's got a fixed, closed mind over new tech and the like. BTCBTCBTC and the blockchain is the future, and we all know that. Just leave them be.

You do not have to explain at length to others. You just need to show what you've got. I believe everyone will be easily attracted when they have seen what other people can achieve. They all certainly hope that Bitcoin can bring it to a much better life. That's the easiest way anyone can do to introduce Bitcoin to others.

don't make more explain to those people who have watched that tv show that contains a negative side of bitcoin which is not totally true, just provide more profs and more legal information that bitcoin has, people can only believe on that who people most trusted like some news provider, but most of the news provider or leading news network are working on some influence people just to create fake news. the only things do is to make some extra research on how bitcoin works and provide some profs to them to believe in bitcoin, I believe that bitcoin is not a scam.

in my opinion to explain things like that we should really explain in detail and also provide bitcoin-related information for example you can give a documentary or some other article related to bitcoin..

Let's try raised the concept of Bitcoin and digital money
explain to them that it is using the technology of the future, giving a little article about technology blockchain.  If they have a high awareness they will understand. If not please get rich from bitcoin and justified by the fact that Bitcoin brought source of income for you and it is not a scam

It's supposed to be a scam. It's very similar to dot-com era. BTC is supported with only peoples demand. But what will happen when people want to buy something for bitcoins? I think the rate will drop down fast.

we can tell them to join here with no invest or invite them in site that they can have profit with no invest i think if they witness that kind of experience here in bitcoin they will believe here im sure we can also invite them in different faucet here in bitcoin for their knowkedge about in anything here like faucet or in trading we can teach them like that

In my opinion it's good to insist the person to invest a very small amount and wait for certain time period. Surely the user will get benefited from that particular small amount. When one experience the growth through the same will understand that it's not a scam.

my opinion, We know bitcoin is worldwide. and its popular coin in the world. its safe and secure, please learn about btc if you have any doubt about it... Some peoples want to discourage from investing in BTC,,, bitcoin not scam its legal otherwise btc is totally banned from all country.

Bitcoin is digital currency so it will not scam. camping manger it will give more information for the give bitcoin price list. Use received the bitcoin you completed the post and it will give to more advice to improve your self. And manager it will expanse to what you will done to and what you will wrong post it will give the advice to you for currect the next time.
most of the people like the bitcoin it will pay bitcoin at the time. So it completed the post count it will sent to the payment at the time.

First of all, Bitcoin is not a scam. It's the people who are using it to benefit and to take advantage from those who are new in Bitcoin. if Bitcoin is a scam, how would you explain the massive increase of bitcoin users? I know it's hard to trust bitcoin if you really don;t know how it works.however, for some people, to see is to believe.I saw my friends earning from bitcoin and they are not a scammer. that being said, Bitcoin is not a scam. It's the people who wanted to use bitcoin to scam some people. and besides, there are a lot of business industries that you can get scammed.you just need to be very careful.

I think you shouldn't even bother and waste your time trying to explain to people what bitcoin is, to those who dont believe and see bitcoin as a scam. Maybe they heard negative things wherein bitcoin was used for some illegal transaction but really dont know the whole story behind it. Just dont mind them and continue wth your bitcoin journey if in case those people changed their perception on bitcoin and started to show interest then maybe that's the time where you can share your knowledge.

There are sides of a picture one is white and the other is black so as you mentioned that a host has shown bit coin as scam in the television which is not correct because we show all the merits demerits of bit coin on the television so the people may aware about the reality of the fact.

nothing needs to be explained, you just need to stay focused on your bitcoin if you are successful they will know for themselves that bitcoin is not a scam

if you are successful then they will think for themselves that bitcoin is not a scam, and they can trust bitcoin without you having to explain.

It's really hard to explain especially if your opponent is media. You will find it difficult to explain it because of the huge industry you will take. Surely no one will believe you and you will just laugh at people. So this is just what I'm saying let them alone and let us know that great development can tell and make it clear. So let's focus on bitcoins and definitely in the next few years we'll see that bitcoins are being accepted in stores. And in our normal transactions often fiat money is used. We are the first to get the benefits here and we are the first to be here in order to let the closed brain of the people.

In my opinion, we don't need to worry about this news, because not all are don't believe watching about this news. Maybe they just said it because they lack of knowledge about bitcoin. I think the best things we do is just continue to spread and explain about bitcoin to other people. This time is a challenge to everyone that we make prove to them that bitcoin is not scam. We must focus well to invest and earn in bitcoin.

I just get annoyed at a television network here in our country because they said bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are scam which is not true about it. So we will work out the minds of the people for them to be enlightened that bitcoin is not a scam by proving them wrong. We should show how bitcoin changed and help us in our financial needs, so they may be convinced in using it.

This is the exactly that i want to say. Bitcoins are used only by bad people to enter the Invesment Scheme and the Pyramiding Scheme where fiat can also be used. Because it is also a kind of money. Now because of their release to T.v many people have commented about it. Of course the crypto cummunity commented on their fan pages to give an explanation about it.

The more people invest in bitcoin and altcoins, the more the price of these coins would definately increase, but on the brighter side, the power would be shifted from being centralized to decentralized, the power would be in the hands of people.

In my honest opinion, I don't think that we should do something on a big level. We just have to carry our normal activities and involvement with Bitcoin like we are doing till now. However, we should explain about Bitcoin to our friends and family members. It must be different from forcing them to get started with Bitcoin. Mouth to mouth publicity and easy to understand demonstration would be a nice in this case. There is a huge misconception in among general public but the overall perception is good till now so it is our responsibility to build awareness about the facts and letting them know that this is not a scam but some scammers are using Bitcoin to execute their scams just like any other currency.

The bitcoins is totally not a trick since now a days practically every individual on the planet is utilizing the bitcoins so if the bitcoins was a trick than not a solitary individual would have put the cash in bitcoins yet the general population are putting billions in the bitcoins in light of the fact that they are believing the bitcoins if the bitcoins were trick the legislature would have prohibited the bitcoins yet the administration isn't doing as such on the off chance that you need to put cash in bitcoins than don't be terrified on the grounds that the bitcoins is the most trust able cryptocurrency ever.

I think don't waste your time to those people who are not interested, instead just focus on what you are doing. Let them be the one to approach you on how you work in Bitcoin, when that's time happen, it's the right time to explain them what is Bitcoin, how to work on it and earn money,  and also show them some videos and testimony on how Bitcoin change their life form ordinary people become productive in terms of financial aspect because of bitcoin work.

With fiat or gold, it's convenient to do all sorts of scams that will not pass with bitcoin. Money can be faked, it is more difficult to control cash flows. I mean cash. In this bitcoin has the advantage

it is not a scam that is the only proof you need to show. Else show them the msrket cap show the amount of live trades occuring on exchanges, trading volume and different news that how government is desperate to ban it because it can't control it

You have nothing to explain yet. Because they believed instantly, And did not even get information on the side of bitcoins. And because they know you're involved here, of course they will ask your side. Just explain to them well you tell the important things they should know. Explain that Bitcoins are a kind of money. And what kind of money we can use anywhere. Bitcoins can also be used when raising a Pyramiding Shcme that starts small until it grows and ultimately makes the reason for the money being invested to lose the unknown.

In fact it isn't a scam itself. It is a currency in the first place. Maybe they aren't doing sufficient research to understand what Bitcoin really is. It should be looked as a wide currency not just an investment where you just keep placing money at and let it grow or expect nothing.

I have to agree with this. Here in my country, every news flashed by tv networks are controlled by powerful people. The will filter all the bad things and just let the people watch all the good things, to make them believe that our country is in a good shape. Sad truth is, its not. They want to condition peoples mind in what "should" they know. Forget the important things, focus on the trashy ones. As for about the idea of explaining realness of btc, I also agree with the majority of the answers. Just let them, don't waste your precious time explaining to close minded people. It's their loss anyway.

If someone asked you to explain to them what Bitcoin is and why its not a scam, expect a lot of question and rebuttal because if they are open minded about ideology of Bitcoin, they will understand that Bitcoin is not a scam, the one using Bitcoin is the one who can scam people. Its like a guns, guns don't kill, its the one who uses the gun, so why ban use of gun? Same with Bitcoin. Same with ICOs.

If you want to explain about bitcoin just explain to trusted people becuase as my experience i always recieve a laugh from them becuase they're not believing they said that bitcoin is only a scam but its okay for me because someday they will regret!

ANybody who is not an idiot can see that it is not. If its somebody that keeps believing that even after I show him in depth Bitcoin its not really worth it to try to change his opinion.

The first thing you have to explain is that no one owns or controls Bitcoin. When something is a scam, there is always a leader, or a group of leaders marketing the scam. With Bitcoin there is no such evidence as this. Also Bitcoin is decentralized where all scams are centralized in some way, thus leading to failure. Failure is always imminent when a money system is centralized.

You don't need to force them to listen and believe. Don't bother explaining. Scam is what we are afraid of when it comes to online business. What you need to do in that kind of situation is just to help those who are interested and ignore those who don't believe.

it is also difficult to explain because it is spread over the television but if they see the real evidence what we get from bitcoin what they still believe the news is on television for me the real evidence what we get is able to convince them

If you tell people who believe that Bitcoin is a scam that there isn't a central authoritative figure, they will likely start feeling even worse. These kind of people somehow can't understand that if things aren't controlled or issued by whatever government or central bank, that it doesn't automatically make it a fraudulent tool. Best is to ignore these people and let them continue to believe in their nonsensical logic that will never bring them any further. Seriously, if you're not open to think further/beyond your own logic, you will never be able to open yourself for something new and improved.

only by informing people with knowledge about bitcoin, the more they know the more the people wil realise how big blockchain is... But mostly is because of governments, who lie and display bitcoin in a bad way...  But don't worry, some day BTC and other blockchain values will be used over the world, and the price will be such high that people will hit themselves on their heads, why didn't they buy some BTC.

Fake news and propaganda. That is the two main enemies of bitcoin. The only thing we can do to prove the truth about bitcoin is our long term investment earnings. Let those ignorant people think whatever they want while we all bitcoiner will be happy in the future. It is because even with bad rep in the media, bitcoin is still in deman in the online world.

If they believe that bitcoin is scam then believed it we can't force people to believe unless they're seeing us earning real money while using bitcoin you were earning why they thinking about losing money ofcourse if you want to earn you need to face lots of risk before making a great success. If you don't risk then you were nothing n life you need too.

First its hard to understand your English .OK come to the point. For those who think bitcoin is bad and fraud,scamming ETC, They're not aware about the real power of bitcoins. They've never ever tried it believe me. Every media is involve with false news we should not trust what media is showing. If you want to know about bitcoin you can search every topics here we don't need to explain about bitcoins. Just thought why we're involve with it of-course the bitcoin is giving us benefits.

I am trying to explain bitcoin how it changed lots of peoples life Like pizza guy story and the kid who bought bitcoin with his grandma or moms gift and now he is a millionare. And also showing local exchange where he can convert bitcoin to local currency.

First i will explain briefly about the bitcoin,i will explain all countries legally accepted the bitcoin.bitcoin is useful for online transactions.i will make good experience to them.

People have proof they do get money from it you can just search everywhere why do you think people sell and buy bitcoin for a high price if it was a scam i have been doing bitcoin for 3 years and it definitely is not a scam.

Obviously in their perspective i guess because it is the government they are will not allowed the decentralized bitcoin in your county but i guess when it comes in the government i guess it is all about business in the government and they wanted to make Tax in the bitcoin i guess that will never happened because of the decentralized system.

actually, it depends on the point of view of each individual, how they see the current technological developments. I think everything can be linked to scams. there's no exception with bitcoin. Well, to convince people that bitcoin is not a scams? I think it is very difficult if the target people are not so familiar with technology. Simply put, you can show people transactions on exchange sites, and show them that people keep buying them for a large sum to earn profit in the future.

I think it depends on the will of the person who wants to eaen money. A person who has eagerness to earn money is a person that whenever it is too risky he or she has courage to still work for it. And i think scams  is because of those greedy persons who only wants their goods and money.

Anybody with basic sense can see that it is not a scam, not worth it to show the others.

I think if people are not well educated about bitcoin then rather ignoring them give them some time, guide them show your achievements and let them know how and where it works. Help them in getting into some promising projects the more people get into it the more will its worth increase and more will be we benefited. So don’t ignore them just educate them about the blessings of bitcoin and put them on the path to success

Bitcoin is not an scam how can u said a scam if you can earn Bitcoin with your time effort and being a positive person its on you if you involved in something that can be scam you.

Its easy bruuh just make some research and history of bitcoin ..give them the history price of bitcoin and your history payout so that u have proof of payment.. I hope i help you 

I'm not sure if we're in a same country since so does in here, a news or a kinda documentary was reported about bitcoin. It turns out to be an awareness toward scam. But as a user of it, we are there for must familiar on what it could really give. It won't be a scam if and only if they are after the true page or site. They just have to see its good deeds from us who've been using it.

if you want to explain that the bitcoin is not a scam just explain them with a proof about the bitcoin, because sometimes they're only saying that because they dont have any knowledge about it and if you teach them with a proof i sure that they will not say it again.

show them some proofs and how to earn bitcoins and wen you earning invite them to watch you in actual on how to make profit with bitcoin

everyone would think that bitcoin is scam and one of those bad sites that fools people .specially to those who dont yet familiar to this currency or to bitcoin .people always wants proof. .i myself dont believe in bitcoin at first but as a friend show me how it works an earn through it even though his still a student.im convinced that its not some cheap sites for scamming. its just that they still dont know great bitcoin is.

It's better if you have a proof that you, yourself was able earn and cash out some money. In that way Their mind can be assured that it is not a scam. Most of the newbies or those with not enough knowledge about bitcoins is likely to be scammed, since there were lots of fraud sites out there. I always tell the people that knowledge is the key to earn money in bitcoins, if they want to earn, they must learn.

Actually i don't have any prove that bitcoin is not a scam becuase i'm a victim of scam hm by the way just only a bounty campaign eth book but i think it depends some investing site in bitcoin is legit but some is not legit called scammer so be carefull always.

The easiest way is  to give them proper knowledge about bitcoin, let them know that what bitcoin is, how it works, how to access it and how and when it was mined for the first. Show your profit and achievements to them, so that they start believing it, then help them to get into some promising projects, so that they could also enjoy the blessings of bitcoin

That's right, because by explaining one by one and proving it other people will be able to believe that bitcoin is not a scam and can be ascertained by the amount of profit you get will interest someone to join in bitcoin.

In my experience i try to convince my relative to involved in bitcoin at first they show no interest but when i explain to them and show them my savings their thinking begin to be open in bitcoin and now they are studying and learning bitcoin.

Unfortunately, it's true that there are scam.  I think what you need is to not insist that Bitcoin is not a scam but rather to tell your friend that there are legit and there are scam, so be very careful where to put your money.

I think I know what the OP is talking about. I guess that is the same segment featured in a late T.V show in my country but I've just heard this from my classmate and he said that they were talking about how bitcoin is a scam. This is sad for us who really know what bitcoin is, they only talked about the bad side of bitcoin and even a single thing about its great features. We should still continue using bitcoin and show them proofs that what they said is wrong. Evidence will make the difference.

right mate the more you watch t.v the more your mind feeds with nonsense issues and just news which only Media and network earns the publicity.try not to watch t.v and compare how life flows comparing when yoir still watching..it can change your life for better.

i explain to my friends bitcoin is the currency and good asset.bitcoin is new kind of money,easy to transfer and receive money with bitcoin address.i will show with poof there is no scam.

Of course we should first believe in it ,in that way .and we work here with bitcoin as long as we accumulate huge amounts and we are also being given a good techniques..
Until it accumulate a lot of money .so it's time to invest in bitcoin.it mean that bitcoin is not a scam that is cuddling to everyone in the world but is great investor in investing money and is now hard to confuse and trust money when talking wish scammer people who are asking for big money .the bitcoin and do not ask it..
Completely against your will and you're not forced to .if you want to invest...you can just get big money before you can invest and for me if I have to invest in bitcoin then my investment will run on bitcoin here soon ..so we will see.

I'm new to bitcoin and even though I have not believed in bitcoin yet. But because of my sister, I entered the world of bitcoin. The only thing that I can advise for those people who do not believe in bitcoin is to prove to them that you can really earned money here in bitcoin and to show it to them.

bitcoin its not a scam because of good security when you buy bitcoin and wellknown and it is digital money people can fast trasaction.

The whole Bitcoin holders around the world are the owners of bitcoin.  As one of its owner, I can tell you its not a scam dude.  Its decentralized and a good value storage.

If we really want to stop people from thinking that bitcoin is a scam then we must first educate ourselves with what really bitcoin is.  Because i believe that we can only convince them with bitcoin if we will be able to correctly answer every questions that this people has.

Bitcoin is not a scam... until the last 21 millionth bitcoin is mined. Who is going to mine all the transactions after no more bitcoins can be minted to pay the miners? But this sad sad day is a long long time away... so I'm a happy holder for now:P

"How can we explain that the bitcoins is not a scam?" - I think its better to focus on the actual underlying technology - blockchain. The implementation of this technology is what's going to keep this whole crypto thing alive. Its impacting us now, and will continue to do so till long after the last bitcoin is mined. I think this is where people's attention should be focused, on the inevitable impact that blockchain technology is and will have on us.

I think we don't even need to explain this. A lot of people already know bitcoin and only a few of them were scammed. Most of the time, someone is getting scammed because of their carelessness. Bitcoin world requires research before you will commit to something. Some are just believing in false promises and that is the reason why they got hit with a rock on their face. It's not bitcoin's fault, nobody will become a con-man if there are no fools.  ;D ;D

Maybe the newscaster was hurt with bitcoin. What we need to tell people about bitcoin is that bitcoin is indeed in the virtual world but with this sophisticated technology can make you happy. Maybe you can show some of your results from the acquisition of bitcoin and show successful people with bitcoin, this will make people believe that bitcoin is great.

I am 99% sure that we are from the same country, my friend. I have watched that news about people who are using bitcoin in scams and I actually felt some sort of disappointment on how those scammers use the name of bitcoin in their illegal online money-making schemes. And I feel you because it is really hard to explain to other close-minded people that bitcoin is not a scam.

What I can recommend for you to do is that you should tell them that people are using bitcoin as a currency in scamming people. Let them realize that bitcoin is no other than another kind of currency that can be used as payment for goods and services. Then let them think about it: if some people use fiat money to scam people, do we consider fiat money as scam? This should be the point that we should put in their minds. Scammers uses bitcoin as a currency for scamming other people, but bitcoin itself is not a scam and is not illegal. Bitcoin is a CURRENCY, not an ACTIVITY (SCAM).

But many people are don't know about this, they too often hears many bad news about bitcoin,its normal if some people pretend bitcoin is a scam, so you still need to convince them, but I don't think that everyone need bitcoin. Bitcoinnis just a choice, not a must. So don't push them, you will distrub them if you do this.

Well, it's hard to explain. After all, the state will not recognize emerging things from the beginning. They always like to judge the present from the previous viewpoint. This is apparently wrong.

Now we are in the era where television became the one that made our brains become stupid, many of the victims children who become ugly because watching television personality. There are many negative effects when we often watch television. Television has nothing to do with the internet or computer, there are some beginners that does look very stupid saying bitcoin is a scam when they have been scammed by some btc ponzi promissing 1000% profit. For a problem like that probably we don't need hard hard to make them smarter understand bitcoin because people who consider btc scam just smart with their brains not with speech.

We dont need to explain they just need to experience how good bitcoin is. There is no issue if we try the bitcoin. And see what good in it. But they like to explain it. I can say that bitcoin change my personality and behavior. And give me encouragement to do good and usefull things and inhance my skill. All that because of bitcoin. And the other thing is that bitcoin give us upportunity that our money can grow easier and we can invest of less anxiety to it. And I can say this is not a scam this is a currency trustworthy.

Bitcoin is not scam is currency we will used this for online business or online job if we want to invest its up to you.if people dont believing you  its ok if they think that bitcoin scam,follow your dreams to make money online then after that shown them your earning money to the people dont believing you.

We ca not alter their opinion by basically giving them a proof of exchange. Media is a standout amongst the most effective wellspring of data it can control the considerations of individuals in only one sentence saying that bitcoin is a trick in TV across the country can influence their reasoning about particular subject like bitcoin. However, in the event that you know to your self that bitcoin isn't trick you are so fortunate than other accepting to that news imagining that bitcoin is a trick.

Bitcoin can not be a fraud, because fraud is the acquisition of material values ​​through deception or abuse of trust. In bitkoyne everything is open and there is no deception. Bitcoin can be considered a pyramid to a certain extent, however, ordinary paper money, including the dollar, can be considered the same pyramid. Virtually everything is based on people's belief that paper money or crypto currency is a value.

Personally, we don't need to explain anything to anyone in this situation. Let them think what bitcoin is and it totally depends on them if they trust the news or not. We are in a generation that everything we see or hear in the TV or news can be fake and that is really disappointing, especially in the news because we should be getting the real information but they always alter it and they let us believe in false information. I think it is probably, a good thing if you want to really learn something don't believe what you always hear in the news but do your own research and learn the pros and cons from it. Also, it could be possible that the newscaster is just stating their own opinion and it's up to you to believe it or not.

The host of that show is bias. Why they don't show the good side of bitcoin. The credibility of that host questionable. For me bitcoin is not scam. It give us job so we can earn money.

It is the bad luck of a nation where people use mass media and other forums only for defame other things I think we should promote positive things on television and to explain the factual position to the public as television is a source of information we should learn positive things from it.

if the pyramid scheme he said wrong, Blockchain system like the concept of helping each other for example I bought ethereum,
then someone sells ethereum then my money in use to pay the seller, and it keeps spinning, CMIIW  ;D

Probably it is obvious to show how it is possible to earn money on bitkoin so to say practice to arrange to uninitiated

Just show them your earned cash and tell someone a success story with bitcoin. Or give the site and video talk about bitcoin for them to get a better understanding of bitcoin

He had reported with wrong information ,i dont think he did some research about it.Bitcoin is a digital currency what made it a scam?Media can manipulate anything just to make their network excel even if it ruins ones reputation and most people believe on what they see or heard on television.For me i dont have to explain anything ill just tell them to do some reseach on it.

I don't even understand why people would categorize Bitcoin as a scam, when all the transactions are done and regulated by you, yourself. I may be new to the concept of Bitcoin and I not be into the big aspects (such as trading and mining) of retrieving Bitcoins, but in what way can you say you have been scammed through Bitcoins? I think the mistake here is that they are comparing Bitcoin with other scamming ventures which gives Bitcoin a bad impression. You can explain that Bitcoin is not a scam by telling them how you are in charge when it comes to Bitcoins. All the transactions, processes, and other ventures does not include a third party agreement, or even a down payment. Bitcoins assure security despite the financial freedom, you just have to be very vigilant with everything, nonetheless.

im proud to explain that bitcoin is not a scam because i have friend that daily he cash out on her coins.ph wallet.
many bitcoin site are scam but not at all.
before you trust a bitcoin site be safe and search thier background if it is
a legit or a scam.

Bitcoin is one the popular companies in the field of electronic banking from its achievements and legal paper which represents its legality we can prove that the company is not a scam and supported by the government.

Yes, the media has a major role in propagation and information dissemination about bitcoin of course in your country the TV stations is being controlled by the government that does not support or adopt bitcoin, such a government will use any available means to discourage the use of bitcoin and can even classify bitcoin as a scam to discourage it's use by your fellow citizens and this is setback for bitcoin.

Don't explain to them that this bitcoin is not a scam, perhaps you need to show your achievements to them. We all know that poeple will trust if we have an example or we have a proof that this bitcoin is not a scam.

Indeed, media or news has a great impact to anything they features or cover, because many people usually believed on what they are seeing or watching.  Only few people are trying to check or verify the integrity of the news or media.

The most powerful ways to convince people are showing the proof of your profit/income with Bitcoin, brief them about the history of Bitcoin and explain in layman term how you achieve to earn on Bitcoin.

If we accept bitcoin is a scam Do you think scam will be appear for 9 Year so this logic has to be applied and don't bother about such thing as bitcoin is the future and cryptocurrency is going to be default by its user and forced financial sector to organize themselves accordingly that time bitcoin will lead everyone. So we no need to explain about bitcoin whether it is scam or not they themselves realize it very shortly.

I think the best way to explain that bitcoin is not a scam is show and tell some advantages of bitcoin and tell them that some of people around the world have already use and invest in bitcoin. Most especially to the people who had lack of knowledge about bitcoin and they think bitcoin is a scam. So we explain to them also that we are the already earn and invest in bitcoin. We need to patience to explaining bitcoin to the people so that they will believe.

I help set up wallets for friends and then i send them some BTC with an list of places they can spend it. Once they actually use it to transact and buy something the penny drops and they understand. Explanations are good, but there is no substitute for real time, in play demonstrations.

as my opinion I don't need to explain to everyone that Bitcoin is not scam because in scam there is a money involve as I know you don't need a lot of money to join in Bitcoin forum.

With lots of TVs coming a lot of brain drains and coming up with a lot of stupid people, some people promote that battle is a scam just to make their own profit and they use it to mislead others. :P

We cannot explain it to many people if we will not engage ourselves in MEDIA. media influences a lot but not all the people who watches it. We can make them realize that bitcoin is not a scam if they will know the numbers of Bitcoin users in the web; but if they are still not believe us, it's their loss not ours.

The achievements of the company and excellent quality service provided to the valued customer are the best way to prove that the company is not a scam. Because of the excellent service they have many customer are satisfied; through this they can receive lots of good feedback which may prove them that they are a legal company. Aside from that showing the certificate or documents that support their operations give also the customer a assurance that the company is legit and supported by the laws of the government.

We cannot prevent other people in using bitcoin in illegal activities or even sometimes scam this main reason why some people don't believe in bitcoin especially does who experience being scam. What we can do is to explain to people to be wise and study first before investing into something. Bitcoin is a good venture but since it is not regulated it can be use in illegal things this must be cleared to those new in crypto currency.

Explain to them how's there's a record of everything. If bitcoin is a scam, there will be some side job from the ones that are on the upper level. There will be new coins coming in without a trace from where the hell did they come from. Or is it because the ones that are involved have already collected their coins right from the start. Remember no one really knows what happened right in the start. The ones that are involved in the creation of bitcoin have probably already bought millions of bitcoins when it was just starting out and they might even be running a mining rig right from the start and slowly upgrading the rig as the price of bitcoin goes by.

Nevertheless, the price of bitcoin is based on the supply and demand. So it has an actual market. If bitcoin is a scam, then how come we all have made our cash outs from bitcoin. I think none of us have been scammed by bitcoin itself but really by other people. They just used the currency bitcoin to scam people.

If you want to change someone's point of view or mind, use the media. Some big businessmen are against the bitcoin's existence for different reasons. For example, banks can go bankrupt because many people are relying on bitcoin. To prevent that from happening, these people would pay media to show the bad side of bitcoin so that other people would be less interested and think it is a scam.

So, the good solution for this issue is to raise awareness. You could provide them with evidence. For example, you could show them this site or other trusted site, and then you would show them the money you received from investing in bitcoin. It might look a little bit hard to change someone else's mind, but trust me, with evidence, they surely will change their mind.

When something is a trick, there is dependably a pioneer, or a gathering of pioneers promoting the trick. With Bitcoin has no such proof as I know. Bitcoin is decentralized where all tricks are incorporated somehow, constantly unavoidable when a cash framework is unified.

By just showing them a proof of your earning, because all people they will believe if they see it. Also i believe in byword of to see is to believe, because people nowadays they needs proof before they believe. Like as in explaining that the bitcoin is not a scam, how can explain to them about bitcoin since it is need to use online. Thus they know that when internet site involve, right away they think it a scam. So is better to prove to them thay wrong about they thinking in bitcoin by showing proof.

Many 'big' businessmen already promoting bitcoin and the future use of cryptocurrency as the dominant exchange currency. Small things like this local news doesn't have a direct effect to the global situation of bitcoin. We must hope that the next government can see the potential and would grab the opportunity that cryptocurrency offers.

That anchor wants to gain popularity ;D Big businessmans campaigns and rooting a lot on bitcoin. They are promoting it because it is one of the biggest cryptocurrency in the world. All over the world it has about a millions users and also has a thousands of scammers. Bitcoin will be only dangerous if you trust anyone that you don't really know them personally and your entrusting them your bitcoin the you're such a dumb. Bitcoin is in the Internet. Internet is dangerous, if you are not careful about holding and entrusting some with your bitcoin then you'll get scammed.

I agree that you can by telling some success stories about bitcoin. However, I think the best way to explainesd to them thay bitcoin is not a scam is by showing some evidence that you could make and earn high income. Lastly, you must also help them how to earn and make bitcoins.

Maybe the host is anti-bitcoin? I think they will believe that bitcoin is not pyramiding if you explain to them every detail, tell them the difference between two. I can totally relate to this post especially that I leave here in Philippines lots of networking company are here some of them are fraud, so people don't trust that easily.

Another one to convince them is by telling them that bitcoin is an investment and no one will manage their money except them.

for me the bitcoin is not a scam. it's legal in many countries and many prove that bitcoin is true and not a scam. I've seen people who have developed life because of bitcoin.

You don't have to worry about those guys, but insure that your country doesn't ban Bitcoins or it will be over for you, but you can always use TOR if it does happen.

These days still believe the television show is a ridiculous thing, they are only concerned with money rather than knowledge. Many events have been set in such a way that we believe in what we see.

Do not try to convince the bitcoin to someone who is still blindfolded, simply show the profit you have and he will shut up. Someday she will ask you "What is bitcoin?" "How to get it?"

And that's where your role will be needed.

Most of journalist who prepare these news and write about them know shit about crypto and dont even try to understand.

Change is always a very hard thing to do and it always gets countered by lots of resistance. When cars came to replace horses, people were so against it, talking how that tech innovation would get abandoned soon.

Where are horses and carriages now?

You just talk to people about Bitcoin fundamentals, once they understand why and how this system works, FUD ill be diminished.

Just explain them on how bitcoin will change the world massively especially when it comes to financial. It's going to be the new "norm" of payment and the best thing about it is its features that will solidify trust.

I would always agree that actuons would always soeak louder than words. And if it were up to me than I would convince other people by showing them my transactions or giving them a glimpse how bitcoin is not a scam by showing them companies that accept and then how it becomes cash.

At least, countries start taking bitkoyn as payment and implement blockade technology blockchain, they prove that bitkoyn is not a fraud.

let them see our progress and success then they will see, and they could get education by themselves, everything is on internet

Explain them what is the real bitcoin is and how its system works, next is show them proof that you and other users get. It's true that there are some scams in bitcoin world but it is rare and normal. Bitcoin can change life of all people but first you must take risk and do hardworks.

i do not usually tell all my friend about bitcoin without a proof. i wait them to notice all the things that changes to me like in financial. they said what did you do. then i start to tell them that bitcoin did this to me. bitcoin can make you rich and if bitcoin is a scam. why do i came to this situation. then i told then that you must be careful with internet and not to take some of the things without consulting to me because they try it and i do not want to disappoint them

Bitcoin is really a scam.
Blockchain is not.

Hate me if I say the truth but Bitcoin will die in a crash but Blockchain technology will survive.

Don't misunderstand me. Bitcoin is the #1 coin on the market, but it doesn't mean price keep rising to 10k, 20k, 50k. There is no point to do that.

Everything on this market is about manipulation, accumulation.

Millionaires, Funds bought tons of Bitcoin and then release the 20k, 50k news on the media. Guess what? They are waiting to dump it all on your heads.

We can't deny the fact that there is investment site involving bitcoin is a scam but then again I can explain to them that there are people who are really greedy and they scammed people. I just want to say that if they want to get a profit regarding bitcoin I think they must first educate theirself about bitcoin. Awareness is really necessary for you to be not scammed.

I will explain by my own experience they can do the same on what did I do in the beginning. Bitcoin is not scam but there is a thread that want all people will be scam. We should be aware on that and wiser on the scammers. You can trust some campaign here, you can invest and earn here.

I agree to that showing them a proof that bitcoin is not a scam because through bitcoin i have additional income and im earning, show them your earnings. Also the news they see in television about bitcoin give bad impression to viewers because they say bad thing about it that it is scam.

What people say on television shows matters nothing. “Love your money not your Asset” is our strategy, in capital market our motto is to grab as much profit as we can. There are people who call bitcoin as a bubble since its introduction. Now that bubble has reached to $11000 !!. No currency has reached such a price in such short time span. Stories like these won`t affect bitcoin currency. It has already shown this, ban by China, Indonesia, Australia has made temporary effect on bitcoin`s movements. I hope same will happen in future.

The best way is to actually show legit exchangers specially local ones in your area that you can able to trade your bitcoins for your country's local currency or try to use it for buying in some bitcoin accepted retailers online and offline. It is hard to explain it to someone skeptical since words will be hard to get through them, you need to show them actual evidence.

it's not a scam, just a bubble don't worry ahah

Dont mind those who watch the tv and that also tv host. Because you dont know what is behind the reason why the host said it is scam, maybe the host just protecting the bitcoin world so that it will not ban in his/her country. We dont know maybe that host is one of the users here. Just think positive.

And dont mind those who watch tv because they dont even know what is bitcoin so dont bother it. Keep calm and enjoy being bitcoiner.

We can explain that bitcoin is not a scam by simply educating them about bitcoin and ways on how to earn it.  Especially when it comes to investment they must know that they must be aware and careful in investing. Lack of education about bitcoin will lead them to scamming.

I didn't know anything about Bitcoin Company. What I have read about Bitcoin is that it is basically a digital currency that lies on Internet.

It is decentralized which means it is not controlled by government in any way. This is the reason why people support it so much. In addiction to this, if it was a scam, the holders wouldn't have get any benefit out of their Investments in Bitcoin but that is not the reality.

Show them how much bitcoin is earning, so they know that this is not a scam. and show them how much you earn here, so they know that this is not a scam. and they will learn how to do it and use it.

do not care about the show on tv, because almost everything in talking is nonsense, I personally do not really care about it, because everyone has different views, and maybe he just looked at bitcoin from the other side, look at bitcoin with one eye and immediately make an opinion and say bitcoin is bad, but if they can see it broadly, many benefits and positive side that can be taken from bitcoin,

Let them watch TV... If they are not going to get the truth, they will always believe in every TV word. That's my opinion.

If just telling of course is difficult, if somebody says scam then the easiest way is we give bitcoin, then we send him to exchanges, i'm sure when he received money from bitcoin then he will be very holic with bitcoin.

Yes these tv channels and all if they don't have any news to telecast they can create there own story and telecast. Even the people also know this truth but bitcoin is new to many people, so this kind of news will make them to not believe in bitcoins.

A lot of people think that's a scam, but i'll keep my focus and put some effort to raise my bitcoin wallet. Just waiting the profits!

Bring them to their own computers and make them search different things in the internet maybe youtube or using google and it will work for them to realize and find out that there is a lot of people who are already in bitcoin and trusting it as an investment and that will make their believes opposite and they will become an investor too.

in my country also like that. many famous people say bitcoin is dangerous, scam, and like ponzi scheme. stupid if someone say bitcoin like ponzi. we dont have connection with other people, except some people make deal with other.
i will say about this forum and how to get bitcoin with easy, and free. so they will think it take our action even if only slightly

There are always going to be haters and skeptics who claim that something of a figment such as bitcoin is a scam, all you can do is let them decide for themselves or provide proof of the people that are having success with it.

Bitcoin is real and not a scam, the easiest thing to prove that it is not a scam is to show evidence of receipt of money from bitcoin into our bank account. Not arrogant or other means is just one way to prove that bitcoin is not a scam other than by listening to testimony from others.

If Bitcoin is a scam, then it wouldn't have existed for the last almost 9 years and that it should have stopped circulating in the crypto system. Also, thousands have already earned big time with Bitcoin. And as of this post, Bitcoin is still soaring in the charts!

Like my English professor once told me- show don’t tell and people will believe.

give proof that we earn money so that they believe that bitcoin is not scam

You can start from your first close friend showing how a transaction uses bitcoin and how to store it then showing that bitcoin can be withdrawn in the current state currency whenever you want and showing what benefits a bitcoin can provide. bitcoin is not a scam but there are some people who use bitcoin for fraud, so bitcoin is not wrong but people use bitcoin to do cheats.

I think people who don't what is bitcoin are might be mislead with wrong information. This can impact on genuine users too. As they will also think that Bitcoin is scam, pyramid or ponzi scheme.

Rather we can explain them as Bitcoin is future. Technology behind Bitcoin is real invention.

Many of think or even ask me too that who is main authority behind. I would like to clear it as There is tremendous energy (electric) is used to make proof of work by running servers and nodes. Which get rewards for solving such encrypted data and storing it on open ledger. And generated rewards are Bitcoins. Bitcoin have strong power behind it for backing.

only stupid people believe that bitcoin is scam..because I do not believe that scam is bitcoin because it looks like this and here I am also getting my investment for business and learning my children .. so how can they say that one This is a scam. But there is also a scam that makes stupid people who are not in their income to get the income from others ...

If you analyze the news about internet scamming, it continuously increases that is why you cannot blame people if they are having a hard time believing that bitcoin is a scam. You can use real life examples, like people who are using bitcoin in a good way. In that way people can be sure that bitcoin is not a scam, that's the reason why I changed my mind about bitcoins, because of this tactic.

The best way I have found is that you should tell them about how there is money in video games. People are willing to pay for video game money with USD or FIAT, because it gives them an advantage in the game or is useful to buy the in-game currency. Crypto is like that too, it gives you freedom and decentralization and cheap fees!


Simple :)

I think it's a great option to show on that what people love) and also you can just keep doing your thing and show the result...they can't say that it doesn't work

The best way to tell someone that bitcoin is not a scam is to tell people who are bitcoin and which industries are used now.
An item that can be used by many large companies or industries can be a scam?

We do not need to convince them that Bitcoin is not scam. Just do not mind them. If they do not want to believe, then it is their loss, not ours. But if you insist to defend Bitcoin, then show them the profit you are gaining with the help of Bitcoin. Show some articles saying Bitcoin is legit. Explain what Bitcoin is, its advantages, how to use it, and what it can do to people’s lives to them. If they still do not want to believe, do not ever try to convince them again because it will be just a waste of time.

I do not think that is neccessary. This is because a true investor should see for him/herself the prominence bitcoins has gained over the years. The thing is it keeps getting better although there are some makert influences at one point or the other. For me bitcoins is cool. No need try to drag people that are not ready. They will only distabilize the market. Thanks

Absolutely right. Explaining them about scam accusation towards bitcoin is just an additional task for us. Anyway, I don't take it as big deal for me and besides it won't help us about their wrong thoughts about bitcoin. I know time will come that, they can realized that they are wrong and it is better to let them go before it will create trouble.

Anybody with basic sense can see that it is not a scam, not worth it to show the others.

To explain and to prove that bitcoin is not a scam by showing the money that you earned in bitcoin and the things that you already bought using your bitcoin. You can also show them the processes how you will earn in bitcoin to show proof that people really earns money from it.

There are so many ways how to explain bitcoin is not scam or it's legit like if you tell bitcoin to your father or mother and they not believe  you is to gave them a bitcoin first then teach them how to cash out bitcoin.You can also teach them how to earn bitcoin in some faucets here so they will earn with no invest then if they earn teach them also to do trading here.Moreover you can try them to teach how to read some bitcoin news in different country and blockchain if they not believe here in bitcoin because we're all starts there in the bitcoin news

There's no central authority controlling Bitcoin, limiting the risks of it being a scam.

Do not over-force yourself to explain bitcoin to a layman, just stay still and watch it. When they are more curious to say "ask google", if they still do not understand then you explain it slowly. Stay with them to get to know the bitcoin as well as possible.

I do not think the tv host  say  the scam  bitcoin  . I think they need to look carefully before telling the people of their country that bitcoin is a scam ,
which is a very important  because it will affect many people who are using bitcoin, especially if they say the truth, I think the tv host  will be
criticized very much

Even if some country prohibited trade bitcoin in public platform, it still can not stopped the price raise of the bitcoin.
bitcoin's price depends people's confidence,it can transfer the money in easy in all parts of the world.
right now, most of people don't have the bitcoin yet, it means the value of bitcoin still have lot of room to raise.

Depending on who you are describing it, if the person has a high level of knowledge it will probably be easy to think that bitcoin is not a scam.

Why would anybody think Bitcoin is a scam? OF course the markets can be manipulated but that doesnt mean its scam.

You don't need to disclose finally to others. You simply need to indicate what you have. I trust everybody will be effortlessly pulled in when they have seen what other individuals can accomplish. They all positively trust that BTC can convey it to a vastly improved life. That is the simplest way anybody can do to acquaint BTC with others.

Bitcoin complies in accordance of the law and follow all legalities according to the jurisdiction of the law.
Therefore bitcoin has mere constent from the government and has a authority to operate. I think it is the best reason to say to other people that bitcoin is not a scam.

for me the bitcoin is not a scam. it's legal in many countries and many prove that bitcoin is true and not a scam. I've seen people who have developed life because of bitcoin.

People who believe bitcoin is a scam are very narrow minded. Maybe the news in the television refers to those who use bitcoin to scam other people. For example, several investment schemes are circulating around the social medias persuading people to invest in their organization. Of course, blinded by the promised profit, people who have no enough knowledge about bitcoin will be tricked.


The easiest way to make bitcoin known in a positive way is to simply compare it with the normal currency. Try to explain  that it is also a form of payment that can be use in any activity. Just like any other currency, they can be also use as a mean for scamming and other criminal activites.

WE NEED TO SHOW THEM THAT THE BITCOIN IS NOT A SCAM, WE WILL MAKE ABOUT AND WE EXPRESSLY DESCRIBE A PEOPLE FOR INTRODUCE WHICH IS NOT A SCAM THE BITCOIN.

Sharing stories of successful people because of investing in Bitcoin would be a great idea. People would be interested if they see other people’s stories of sweet success and more likely to do what they did to be the same as well. So more successful investor stories, the more people would invest.

It does not matter what people think that Bitcoin is a hoax, and does not need to convince them that Bitcoin is not a hoax. stay on track by becoming a user and investing with Bitcoin. Maybe so successfully, those who think Bitcoin is a scam will change their minds.

Good question bro. I think if we show them a proof. would they believe? or not? But, i think it depends on the people on what they will believe to. If they don't care about bitcoin. then you should not be worried about that.

Explain to them that it is such as a commodity, stock or even eternity goods which the price is determined by market. People should know what things that they buy. I hope the more aware about technology.

If you want to explain that bitcoin it is not a scam show your proof of payment then explain how to earn money or trade and tell them research more and reading here to this forum to known more about bitcoin.

many people in the world do not believe in bitcoin, they think it's a scam. bitcoin is a legit that you can get rich here, without paying taxes so others think it's a scam, and when they invest and lose money they invested.bitcoin their blame instantly. most scammer is investing and mining

A scam means a fraud and a fraud means a person or a thing intended to deceive others. If BTC did this thing to us then it's probably a scam but this thing didn't happen to trading sites instead BTC, particularly in trading is giving financial stability us or shall we say offering a profitable business to us.

Show them what you got from bitcoins then show them what bitcoins can do especially in terms of financially assistance. It can provide assistance to people who are not well-lived in these days.

It ia very simple, because i have been working For btc for a long time and i have earned alot of money with it, thats why i cannot say and i can prove that btc is not a scam rather it is a big help to us.

Since bitcoin is anonymous, some use it to scam people as they promise a return of investment in just a month and bitcoin is just a victim here. And with it we can't do anything about it as the damage has been done. All we can do now is watch those people that making bitcoin dirty to fall from their traps.

In my opinion, television shows are a tool to invite public assumptions about what the tv show owner wants, I stop watching tv for 3 years because it is not profitable for me. You're better off focusing on bitcoin rather than questioning a useless television show. Stop watching TV and focus on bitcoins.

the best ways to tell bitcoin is not scam is just try it. when you try it and know about the profit when using bitcoin for trading and mining or something else, i think they will know by the time if bitcoin is the good asset or digital currencies and its not scam at all

Do you know what SCAM means? Who is scamming you ? somebody holding your money while you trade worthelss stuff? BTC doesnt work like that

Who cares if people thinks bitcoin is a scam? We don't need to give damn about them, they don't want money, well we want money that's why we use bitcoin, if they think it is a scam, then let them, as long as you earn money and you know the truth about bitcoin, you don't need to explain anything to them.  ;) ;D

Maybe some uses the name of bitcoin to scam people maybe this the reason why they think bitcoin is a scam but we know that it is not. What we need to do is to prove them, show them money that we earn from bitcoin. Show them and prove to them that bitcoin is helping us financially. If they still doubt bitcoin, then just let them. It is given that not all people will believe and can relate to bitcoin especially if they are not fond in using technology especially internet.

Do you think bitcoin is a scam ....the people are not believe bitcoin is a scam they are not know. some people are so stupid that bitcoin is a scam, bitcoin is a  money and it a digital currency. So people can shout out it is a scam .. but for me it is not .. Do think to understand it .

Those people who said that bitcoin is scam, just let them try to research and join in this signature campaign for them to know that this is not scam. Because if we explain our side to them without seing bitcoin success story here, they don't believe us. Show them what you've got.

Those how think bitcoin is a scam they does not know well about the bitcoin, first think about your self when we heard about the bitcoin we are thinking that our friends are make joke with use or making some scam. But when they guide use well we come to the bitcoin forum and now we are earning bitcoin and believe that bitcoin is not scam. So there is need of the knowledge about the bitcoin for them and need of proper guidance toward the bitcoin. I am sure that they will no more say bitcoin is scam if they guided really well.

Well if there are people that believe the bitcoin is a kind of scam maybe they dont know what is really a scam.Bitcoin is not really a scam because we can earn through it without capital or maybe amount of money unlike on scam scam is really involved an amount of money and without any product i believe bitcoin is not really a scam because we can gain on it depending on how we really make it to make profitable.

Bitcoin have almost nine years in market and we can see its achievements and goals bitcoin is here to survive for ever it have already replaced a lot of crypto from market and bitcoin also faced a lot of forks in this time duration but bitcoin fight against them and it also reached to many country which is a very good achievement for bitcoin so bitcoin want to be in every single of the country in this world which mean bitcoin is not scam.

Hard topic. Many people consider banks to be cheating. BTC is incomprehensible and does not explain the action of a person without knowledge. This will not change even as the BTC will be legal as money.

Why should we bother to explain that bitcoin is bit a pyramid to people like that anyway? If they don't believe they don't believe, let them think what they want and leave them behind with their fiat and useless investments if they even have any. If you really want to show them it is not a pyramid scheme all you do is tell them to look up the very definition of the word.

Just telling the truth, bitcoin is not a scam, and the only ones who are saying it are those who are angry because they couldn't buy bitcoins on the past. Nothing more than that.
I have seen a lot of people who are always complaining about it, but they are doing so because they couldn't introduce themselves on it.

Fraud is the seizure of property by deception or abuse of trust. Bitcoin as a digital currency does not deceive anyone and does not abuse the trust of its holders. It is created with open source and everyone can take advantage of this to improve it or create a new crypto currency by using the entire previous transaction history of bitmoney. Bitcoin operates openly, is a decentralized and relatively anonymous digital currency that is available to everyone for use.

In my own opinion no need to explain that bitcoin isn't a scam. People have their own thought so we cant manipulate them to believe bitcoin is not a scam. They'll could be realize how important bitcoin is when they comes to understand it.

the way is very simple. show chart of bitcoin price increase since 2009 until now. for those who consider bitcoin scam to be shocked. it's from the price side. you can also show some countries that have legalized bitcoin. it will not happen if bitcoin scam. well, it may be effective or not, because each person has their own opinions.

I guess those people who are saying bitcoin is a scam are those who don't have knowledge about bitcoin. They don't have any idea what bitcoin can do and what advantages it can give to the people. If only they can see the benefits we are getting through bitcoin I guess it will change their mind that bitcoin is not a scam.

It is so simple people who involved in bitcoin business themselves knows very well that what is bitcoin and how it works. Why should we bother others if anyone ask about bitcoin is scam just tell them yes since 2008 it is scam which give best returns to its investors till now it is giving the big opportunity to the people who looking for additional income with comfortable timing to work. After this they will close their mouth and start realizing what is bitcoin means for this world.

Right. It's the basic reaction of any person when he is not sure or afraid of an investment that he heard for the first time. It's not just like any simple investments out there because it is showcasing an awesome tech.

Explaining bitcoin turns out to be difficult these days. After those schemes presented in the internet world many people don't believe on it anymore. But if you'll prefer to turn these things upside down you can show that it is legit. Just show them proofs about it or any transaction payments you've done from it.

For me I explain bitcoin its not a scam, to the way prove it, prove it to interested that bitcoin its not a scam its a very hard to explain bitcoin because they didn't hear us that bitcoin is not a scam so that I think the best way is to prove like a word action is better than word.

Those people who said it scam woud have no knowledge in cryptocurrency ,and they have no idea how it can works and helps many people financially.Its hard to explain in social media that bitcoin is true but no matter atleast we bitcoiners believe that it is true and helps us to have an extra income.

Why do we need to explain it, when they do not believe about bitcoins or they call it a big scam? At first, we don't have the obligation. Bitcoins is for those who only believed and those who have a dream. As long as bitcoins not affected by what they said, we or I don't care. The most important thing is we get the profit of it, while the losers still loser.

dont fall by the fool.. they only want you not to involve with bitcoin.as their self want it for them self.

It would be better if people think that bitcoin is a hoax just to try it out on their own Let them know how this bitcoin works because I myself never think about it at all if bitcoin is a fraud Because until now it still continues to rely on it as a place of income every time.

I myself know that bitcoin is not a scam. I earned a lot because of bitcoin. if bitcoin is a scam then no people will invest or patronize bitcoin. the people who say bitcoin is a scam that people noy earned in bitcoin because they lack of effort in what they're doing. 

many also assume that bitcoin is not good and bitcoin is bad, but after we know bitcoin surely we do not say like that. yes the name of life must be many who think good and not good according to them. so it's better regardless of what we think people ignore.

You dont need to explain and persuade that bitcoin is for real, as long as you and most of the bitcoiners are gaining and profiting from it then it is good enough. Besides if you succeed and be rich with bitcoin someday then that is enough explaining already.

On my own point of view we can explain that the bitcoin is not a scam if we will show them our bitcoin wallet.Specially like me that I earn bitcoin in joining signature campaign and it is really not a scam because in every post you will made you will get paid weekly.I will encourage them to join in signature campaign as well so that they can also be able to earn.Only in signature campaign because I find it legit and not a scam.

You should show proof that you are using bitcoin and are successful because of bitcoin
And then give proof that you make a lot of money from bitcoin
so, they will be sure and do not assume that bitcoin is a scam

no need to worry.oneday they will not understand bitcoin is not a scam.when they realize it will be too late for them.be optimistic. invest in bitcoin earn money and show them what you earn,make them jealous.some people suggest you not to invest in bitcoin because they don't know much about bitcoin.start botcoining, make profit and show them bitcoin is not  a scam.

Yes these TV channels and all if they don't have any news to telecast they can create there own story and telecast. Even the people also know this truth but bitcoin is new to many people, so this kind of news will make them to not believe in bitcoins. And Bitcoin is real and not a scam, the easiest thing to prove that it is not a scam is to show evidence of receipt of money from bitcoin into our bank account. Not arrogant or other means is just one way to prove that bitcoin is not a scam other than by listening to testimony from others.

The easiest way is to show the money you are earning when you already have the payment from bounty campaigns or other services that you are doing to promote the ico and with that huge amount of money you are holding then obviously, They might get interested to join immediately.

We can explain them that Bitcoin is not a scam by stating facts and examples. Tell them the truth. Tell them that you had gone thru what they feel. Cite examples, like persons whom is successful now and also had gone thru their situation. Motivate and inspire them. Make them optimist.

I don't know why people show such false things in television. Bitcoins are not scam! Alot of people are investing in it and the number of people wanting to invest in it goes up day by day. You should just tell the person who you'd want to know about bitcoins to personally research somethings about bitcoin. Only after seeing the good sides of bitcoin they would know that it is a good investment. If they aren't willing to do so, and believe what is being shown on the television, there is not much you can actually do.

I think it is a simple question, people believe in the saying "to see is to believe" so the simple is you only need show that the bitcoin is not scam but how? Simple. You need to show proof that you got earninga in the bitcoin. Also there's many artivcles and advertise that proving the bitcoin is not scam there are many company and store's accepting it too.

Its difficult to explain to someone about bitcoin if they dont know about bitcoin, but if there know it, maybe i can explain to them about bitcoin and can share to them my knowlegde about it or i can teach them anything a i know in bitcoin.

For me, we don't need to explain and convince them that bitcoin is not a scam. If you already explain to them about it, that is enough. The more you try to convince them, the more they think your jerking them around. It doesn't change anything whether they believe you or not, the truth is still the truth.

So don't worry about it. One day they'll find out themselves and realize they should have listened, or not. Either way, it's their loss not yours.  ;D ;D

Prove it with results, such as anything we have bought or earned from bitcoin, if we just convey of course people will not believe and assume that bitcoin is nonsense.

For people to believe I think that the very concrete and surefire way to do it would be to have them see that the effects and the standing of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is not a scam but an investment and that is what people should see

People are into bitcoin for so many reasons. For the fact that someone invested in bitcoin to make many out of it and eventually lost out does not mean it is a scam. Similar things happen in stock exchange trading. Bitcoin is not a scam because it solves real problems

Maybe for some people bitcoin is something that is impossible to make money because bitcoin has no physical form. So, if you want to convince others about how valuable bitcoin's. You have to prove the real results obtained from the bitcoin, probably the home or luxury vehicle you bought from the sale of bitcoin.

It is difficult to explain especially if the media has published such news. Because most people watch tv and there they are based on what's going on around us. So what the media is playing in t.v is the people's beliefs. What we should do to say that this is not a scam will explain to them that. "Just used bitcoins as a payment processors in scam investment." Like fiat moneys the fiat moneys are also used as a payment for an investment that is eventually lost.

I agree telling them about bitcoin is a way so that they believe. Those people maybe lack of information so they think that is a scam. Sometimes we need to explain and show the proof about bitcoin that many people already success invest in bitcoin and they already earn. Let us give more time to convince and explain so that they can understand if what is the importance of bitcoin. We have a patience to talk with the people who are lack of knowledge about bitcoin.

To first it has its own website that explain its history and how bitcoin works.It provides 10 day seminar about bitcoin that explain the flow of it as well as the crypto currency.Moreover when you log in to the website users need to provide captcha to know if its a robot or not.Lastly,there's so many users that shares their true successful stories.Aside from that it also partners with other sites that is really legal.

It's actually depends to the person who's introducing or spreading the concept of bitcoin as a new digital currency to the other people.The first important thing that you must have to acquire is your crediblity as a user of bitcoin in order for you to explain that bitcoin is not really a form of a scam.Why? because everyone has some trust issues regarding to this matter specially to someone they don't know so if you're not trustworthy or somehow a suspicious person then don't expect that people will believe on what you're saying.Also,you should atleast provide some valid information,evidences and facts about bitcoin particularly on how btc really works and the essence of bitcoin in our society.Also it much more convincing if you share some  knowledge based on your own experiences and perspective that you've gain while exploring the world of bitcoin is also important since the information that we might get in the internet is limited and complex.Moreover producing some valid information is not enough,you should atleast remind and tell them some safety precautions if they encounter those kind of situation such as being scammed by unknown people.

anyone who thinks bitcoin is a scam doesn’t wast your time to explain them.  And television shows OR sOME od MEDEA they really don’t know what is BITCOIN. They just need there TRP. :( :( :(

Bitcoin really is not Scam because if it's a scam there's nothing it uses and supports. Bitcoin could not have earned and developed. So I can say that this is not a scam.

I will say the truth, at first when you dont know have any idea on bitcoin and they say that you will earn millions, at first i never believed in it.Because it is really unbelievable.But when I started to involved myself in bitcoin and earn in it.I believed.

As for me the best way to explain people that bitcoin is not a scam is to be more active and successful bitcoiner and be a good example, because people still thinks that is bitcoin is scam as long there  is still people uses bitcoin for their wrongdoing and we can not stop the fact that not even in bitcoin but in paper money  its just that bitcoin is not yet into government that is why they can get away from their crimes without any trace left to investigate

You can't say bitcoin is a scam, we are just putting our money on this kind of crytocurrency like in the bank - we are investing money and saved it for the future, this is how bitcoins works. But, the differences is, bitcoin prices is volatile and it is always changing its price anytime. That is why most of the saver's lost and claimed a percent of their profit.

Try explain, Bitcoin or any major cryptocurrency is not a scam because It's a viable source of income and profit right now. Because cryptocurrency are future of world economy.

Its simple to explain to people that the bitcoin is not a scam give them a proof of income in bitcoin and convinced them to watch a video about bitcoin besides bitcoin is now on a news so maybe its so simple to explain to people that the bitcoin is not a scam.

You don't have to prove to them that bitcoin is not scam maybe because they acquire or get the wrong information about it, anyway just continue doing what you're doing and give your best shot to it and when it prosper and you gain more profit than they do not expect...only then they believe that this is not scam... people themselves will proves if it is scam or not because they will witness..don't waste your time depending it.. let bitcoin prove itself.

There are people who will believe whatever they want to believe regardless of what you tell them or how hard you try to convince them otherwise, If you try to convince someone about the benefits and importance of bitcoins and they do not agree, just leave them be.

The problem arises when country's government starts to think or give verdict that it is nothing more than a bubble, ponzi scheme etc which effects the whole momentum of the bitcoin across world. As it is traded worldwide so any statement from any country head could effect the bitcoin demand and price can fall drastically.

why everyone is always watching and hearing nonsense about Bitcoin from news that has no facts.
while we already know what is Bitcoin and already feel what is in can from Bitcoin,
So let them talk because they do not know what Bitcoin is..

For me do it with actions and so little talking. Show them that bitcoin is not a scam and that you can profit from it trough trading, transactions and buy and sell. Show them what you have gained because of bitcoin, example is your house, vehicles, gadgets and etc. Just when they started getting curious and asking questions, thats the time when you say Bitcoin is not a scam and it contains a huge profit when you do it the right way. Explain it through actions and do it with words.

Well, first and foremost, you don't need to recruit anyone for it. You're not even pushing anyone to join in. You're not making any outrageous promises of millions upon millions and a brand new car. If someone is in bitcoin, you realize the risks, and there is always a risk not like any MLM that promises you low risk, all you have to do is get 2 more people. Bitcoin also fluctuates so it follows the principle of economics.

Bitcoin is controlled by no one therefore we cannot say it is a pyramiding scheme. For every pyramiding scheme are being manage by someone, and in addition to that, we do not know who is Satoshi Nakamoto. They only say that it is scam because medias are being controlled by rich people who have businesses in banks or even the government. And they want to destroy the community of cryptocurrency so that they will regain more investors. Another reason is that it is said to be scam due to many HYIP programs which brings bad feedback of bitcoin. But for me it is not the bitcoin that is scam but the people using it. There are many people using bitcoin to take advantage on others especially the newbies by scamming them.

We can prove bitcoin is not a scam to others by telling them not to invest on what they see in the social media sites who uses bitcoin as a front to scam people. Their posts were easily known to be a scam if they advertise instant money. For example, your 50 bucks will become .50 btc. Those are scammers who uses bitcoin to lure and fool people. Promote bitcoin in a proper way just what others are doing.

Yeah and you know most of them are thinking like this because they are not aware of all those bitcoin features that bitcoin has. Bitcoin has wallets it is safe to hold your bitcoin. Bitcoin is not scamming even it will make your money safer and secure. Investing in bitcoin is like future saving so people should be guide about it and they should be aware of wallets and sites about bitcoin that will give them proper information about bitcoin savings.

Personally i don’t bother in explaining this to people.  I will just show them what i earned from bitcoin.  In fact it is effective when i told my friend who is very negative and keep on saying that bitcoin is a scam, i showed him that i earn this much every week through a signature campaign. I showed him my digital wallet with the total amount of our currency converted from BTC. Then he was like can you teach me that? If bitcoin is a scam then i could have not be earning from it.But i am earning money every week. So many of my friends and my sister is earning from it too. When my sis showed me her earning by posting here, i realized why not did what she is doing. This is not so stressful kind of job and you can also do this part time.  I did not even spend any single penny when i joined Bitoin.

I don't think we need to explain such greqt things to morons, if they want bitcoin then study it do research about it unless he/she is your friend you can personally teach and explain how it works , from blockchain to bitcoin. I guess the poster is from Philippines where ABS-CBn network talked about it on one of their TV show wherein they called cryptocurrency is a scam.

You can show them how you got your bitcoin in some ways to prove that bitcoin is not a scam because nowadays there are many campaign here in forum that give people hope that they can give money but they will not really pay you so by that many people think that it is a scam but still there are many good campaign that can actually give you bitcoins.

   Its pretty obvoius that bitcoin is not a scam ecause many people are proven it and many people got rich because of bitcoin.Many big whales said that bitcoin got potential its so impossible that bitcoin is a scam..thats why many people here are not scared to invest big money on bitcoin because of his potential

Transaction fee on Bitcoin going from $0.10 a year ago to peek at $55 makes it look like a scam
and take a deep peek under the cover of the Lightning Network to discover banking hubs coming
our way that charge Tx fees and interest

Does this current network diagram look like mamma and papa banking to you
https://lnmainnet.gaben.win/

if you liked block-chain then you won't like the Lightning Network, it's that simple

Don’t waste your time explaining to skeptics. This is not your moral or social responsibility. Let them do their own research. They’ll find that many has actually became rich through this sytem. So don’t bother.

let the facts speak.
people more influenced by facts than news. with a very fluctuating the price of btc, people can see that bitcoin trading is profitable. of course with the right calculation.

myself difficulty explaining it. the most question is how people can buy a coin up to thousand dollars without meet a seller or see thats coins, just a nominal in the wallet hfftttt...  many people do not believe it initially after they see for themself the result of bitcoin trade can make anyone getrich.
just let facts says. lets people think what they think

In my opinion, we can explain that the bitcoin is not a scam if we will show them our bitcoin proof or wallet when you already have the payment from bounty campaigns or others activities by joining through social media. Also, a lot of articles and advertise that proving the bitcoin is not scam there are many company and store's accepting bitcoin. In this matter, We have a patience to talk with the people who are lack of knowledge about bitcoin.

We can explain to them that the bitcoin is not a scam but make sure that the person who want to explain bitcoin to them has a complete details and always tell the truth don’t troll or lie to them so maybe they will listen and show the evidence that the bitcoin is very helpful and can do and give everything

You can explain that Bitcoin is not a scam by telling them that you can have a Bitcoin without investing or using any money. Tell them that they can do services and they will be paid by Bitcoin. In that instance, it's already shows that there is no Ponzi or pyramiding scheme.

Don't bother explaining it to others who doesn't really have any idea or interest when it comes to bitcoins. I seldom watch TV actually because these news seems fake to me. Those reporters are being paid to make FUD so that no one believe the real thing. Just mind your own business, don't even tell you are into crypto unless you see that they are interested on it too. Some people nowadays are being spoonfed, they only want those investment where they think or believe that they could earn plenty without any effort. Stay away from those people, just mind your own investment and you're good.

We can explain to people that bitcoin is not a scam so what we need to do is show us the evidence that proves that bitcoin is not a scam and proof of payment, if they do not believe in the cause we will not force people to believe in them.

.         Be independent. Just only by yourself alone will do the approval of what you are doing.  In my own suggestion, bitcoin is not scam . Especially  in this forum, they gave you chance to earn. Never collect cash from you rather than that they will reward you in the by your hard work and being resourceful. You must observe also that a lot of members already in this forum but never known such thing that it is bad to get involved in bitcoin. If it helps people  financially stable then it is not bad unless you will used that extras by doing bad things in your life. Choose bitcoin site that is not fake , some of them are fake , especially pyramiding.

Therefore, you can not believe in the TV news. If someone thinks the bitcoin is a scam, actually,  it is not necessary for you to explain. Bitcoin is ceasingly accepted, people who trusts bitcoin naturally aprroves it; people who donn't trust bitcoin, anyhow you explain it to them, probably, they will regard you as a cheater. So, just trust yourself judgement, disregrd other negative voices ! ;D 8)

I think there is no need at all to explain to someone is something a scam or not, they must find out about bitcoin by them self.  Media have the power to change people's opinion about something, by giving their evidence maybe this will change their minds about bitcoin.

Explaining bitcoin as not being a scam is quiet a long process to take. For somebody to fully understand how bitcoin works, they need more than just research. They may need to have someone who actually does bitcoin for quiet some time already. They can best explain all the needed regarding bitcoin not being a scam. But in some circumstances, explanations are not enough to proof that bitcoin is no scam. For that instances, it all relies on solid, physical facts alone.

I agree with you. We can explain Bitcoin to those who do not believe that bitcoin is not a hoax. We can show many things, such as our wallets and addresses, etc. Of course, they can not believe it. Then they will not invest bitcoin , So no problem. But I do not want those who do not believe to discredit bitcoin.

It may quite hard explaining to a person which is not tech savvy or  no background in computers at all. For me, I just says its a currency like the dollar in digital form. Its not an investment like MLM or HYIPS that they usually encounter.

Yep, your idea is great. I think it’s extremely difficulte for you and me to explain for somebody about bitcoin or other coins in positive way, they will not believe what we say. The best way and most efective way to get them believe in bitcoin is showing them what we’ve earned  from investing bitcoin. I’ve known some people who have thought that bitcoin is a scam, they afraid of  taking part in it ,though they really like to invest it. When I advise and show them the benefits I’ve got from bitcoin, so they start to believe in btc and interested in btc

bitcoin is too legit not just because it is approve in another country but there are other countries that approve bitcoin and the place where there are many people who are buying and buying for their future because other people see social bitcoin appears to be thought to be risky or scam because of news releases and they do not know exactly what bitcoin is and what its importance to people

Basically, people will only believe those people who they think is trustworthy so if you are a person who has a reputation of being honest and trustworthy then there is a possibility that they will believe you that it is not a scam. Of course when you are watching TV, they would show some proof that it is scam and only those that already have experience with it will know if it is true or not. Those who do not know a thing about bitcoin would immediately believe what they saw in TV and if you try to explain to them that it is not and they don't believe in it then so be it. They miss an opportunity of a lifetime.

You can explain teach them how to earn bitcoin in some different way, show them proof of transaction. Also tell them what are the procedure how to earn and invest in bitcoin. How to grow their investment and if they want more and big earn try to teach them also to do trading here. But it risky.. Moreover you can try them to teach how to read some bitcoin news in different country and blockchain if they not believe here in bitcoin because we're all starts there in the bitcoin news. And explained them bitcoin is not scam.

Its not hard to explain bitcoin will be not scam forever to our friend our to our partner by show them what have we got from bitcoin, and compare your life before you know about bitcoin until your economic condition and your life have you know about bitcoin. it will be your friends will believe about bitcoin and it will help them to be success in bitcoin with your and we have help the other is teach by my teacher.

No need to explain it to everyone it's not our duty or responsibilities to do so, people does believe what's the new says but smart people will ask and further conduct a research if it's one hundred percent true, so don't put too much bother on your shoulder.

For me we can explain it in a way that we will prove or giving them a prove that bitcoin is not scam instead we can learn from it and earn from it and many people using bitcoin so that is not scam.but if they really not satisfy in our explanation then it's not our problem any more if they don't believe.The more important is you know in yourself that bitcoin is not scam,and many people are prove it they can earn and also for me I can earn.bitcoin it's a opportunity to everyone to have a better life.

BTC itself such as currency copper, ancient time itself has no price, but because of its scarcity and stability by a large group of people as equivalent as usual, people start to smooth, used as a trading undifferentiated human labor (such as food, clothes, etc.) the cost of weights and measures, after just had the price of itself.

For me it is easy to explain that bitcoin is not a scam to the people that had enough idea about bitcoin.we can also have a proof for being successfull in bitcoin so that they agree on what we are saying that it is not a scam because they believe that "to see is to believe".

If we show them some proofs, and people that says bitcoins is a scam, they're the one who's not interested in it and believing gossips without knowing what it really was. Even how hard and how enough your proofs are if they're not interested, they'll always say that bitcoin is scam and not knowing how it will help us in the future...

In my opinion, it doesn't need explanation. Cryptos are here to stay, whoever say its a scam will adopt it one day sooner or later.
