Bitcoin Forum

I always find people who think that Bitcoin or cryptocurrency assets are busting money and sometimes there are people who always assume that investing in bitcoin is fraught with hacker risk.
on the other hand I cannot assume that their opinions are wrong, but on the other hand I cannot justify their statements.
I always think that people who have opinions like that are people who don't really know about blockchain technology, or they just read from one of the articles that happens to provide news about a "dark" case in bitcoin, so they often assume that bitcoin is a range against hackers and scam.

what do you think about finding people like that and how will you react to them?

I'll do nothing, why do we have to make everything clear? I mean why don't they just do their own research? if that's what they think of bitcoin then let them. We don't have to prove anything to anyone besides we have different perspectives, we just need to accept it and understand them since they don't have enough knowledge they'll judge bitcoin anyway so just ignore them. They don't understand that it is not bitcoins fault to be involve in scam situations, people was taking advantage and use it to deceive others because of the benefits they wanted.

A scam is a conscious attempt to deprive people of something valuable (usually, money). When Satoshi created Bitcoin, I don't think that what this person had in mind was robbing people. And I think most people would agree about it. Bitcoin was not even a commercial project or something, not was it an investment opportunity. It was a kind of money people would be able to use without involving intermediaries or supporting certain countries by using their money. If people buy Bitcoin and then sell it when the price goes down and then call it a scam, I think it's their own misunderstanding of what Bitcoin is for and how it works, they should not blame Bitcoin for that.

say it like this, if I look at it from another perspective, the things I explain to them can make the bitcoin community network in each region wider, and can also help others to invest in their own lives.
You know, I always think it's like I don't know someone, but I always think negatively about him because of other people's words without me knowing him personally.
but yeah, what you say isn't wrong either. and also, everyone is free to say or do what they want.

Even now there is lack of true understanding about bitcoin and the backing technology. Most of the time bitcoin is termed as scam by users who have once got scammed in the name of bitcoin. Bitcoin is a high risk market as well a highly valued network. Here we need to be more careful in handling everything. Just on getting caught into s scam that particular person spread it as scam.

as you said, maybe because bitcoin is a type of money that people can use without involving intermediaries or supporting certain countries using their money. it causes people not to trust bitcoin too much. for example if I'm not mistaken in 2017 or 2018 (correct me if I'm wrong) there is news about regulatory issues in a country and at that time the price of bitcoin is down.

Explaining to a close-minded person would lead me to nothing. Everything you say to them, they'll just throw you off with arguments in which even if you can explain it, they'll just have another question. Commonly the elderlies who are more inclined into investing to real, liquid assets, are harder to educate regarding bitcoin. Most younger generations are easier to educste since they have the basic knowledge of how the digital world functions and they could grasp the idea and remove trust issues while learning.

Talking to such people is pointless, so let's ignore them and do our job. let's show them the opposite of what they say by doing and I'm sure that when we get rich in Bitcoin and other Altcoin they will be really ashamed to show us.

So just keep going, and not paying attention to our haters, Don't be afraid of them, and let their words inspire us!

We could NOT please all people in this world and people will always have different ideas, opinions and thoughts on something, and Bitcoin is no exemption. As a popular cryptocurrency, Bitcoin seems to have become a polarizing object...either you like/love it or you don't. We don't have the responsibility to convince anybody to also like and invest with Bitcoin. Can you just imagine of the maker of Coke will one day forced all people to drink its soda drink? That can be a big controversial move or even an anathema because there are also many people who are die-hard drinking fans of Pepsi. The same thing with Bitcoin. People who are convinced that it is a big scam should be allowed to do so, convincing them otherwise can be a big waste of time. Now, if they can be interested somehow, I am sure they can find a friend in Google.

Yup, I also find it more difficult to explain crypto assets to my dad and it is very tiring, than when I explain to my friends

That's right, I can't please people, they have different thoughts, opinions, etc.
I don't force them to like bitcoin (it will be very tiring), but if they ask me about bitcoin or other crypto assets, I will be happy to answer what I know, and that is not the basis of coercion, after all, after they hear my answer, it is his business to believe or not. and I will not force my opinion on them either.

i have never seen anybody say that genuinly. people who say it are either FUDsters trying to manipulate the minds of newbies for their own benefits or are newbies who are repeating something they have heard by the brainwashers.
in some cases when they say it they are targeting the altcoins which makes sense as a lot of them are indeed scams created for fast money grabs from the newbies who don't know much.

It will be hard for us to convince people who are close-minded to believe in the positive effects and advantages of blockchain technology. We can't blame them since there are lots of people who are using crypto to scam and spread fraudulence. Let crypto speak for itself since it has proven a lot and has passed all the tests of time. Those people who are still doubting about it will realize that crypto isn't a scam when they witness the capability of the blockchain technology to change the economic situation of each country.

I wouldn't normally find people expressing that opinion in my everyday life and if I did, I'm not sure I would do anything to try to convince them.  When I first heard of bitcoin I had the feeling that it was a scam, or at the very least that it would become worthless.  It seemed like some magical internet money, which is how it probably appears to people just finding out about it now.

Let people think what they like, because there are always going to be skeptics about crypto and people who will never get into it.  That's OK.  Bitcoin is certainly not a scam, but it's the kind of thing where you either fall in love with it or never end up understanding it and never use it.

Yes, sometimes I see that most groups on Facebook always tag and make people use their references (especially in the groups I follow), I don't blame them, but most of what I see they give references to websites which can be said to make personal profit.

yes, just like me who initially didn't really believe in bitcoin in 2016, and when I saw the price of bitcoin go up slowly I started feeling very sorry at that time

This is very interesting statement, if they say that bitcoin is vulnerable to hacker risk then do they think that there money in the bank are 100% secure.  

Most of the people who don't understand the blockchain well will surely say this kind of statement but we cannot blame them as we cannot deny that there is a risk in placing your money in bitcoin or any crypto currencies. If I can find a people like this, there is only thing that I can say to them. Try it and see for yourself how secure it is if you just follow how to protect it and how beneficial it is especially the profit that they cannot get in storing their money in the bank.

Any kind of investment is risky, and any kind of digital means of storing information (which, really, is what owning or having control of Bitcoin is, in a way) opens you to hacking risk. That's actually just normal and not in any way unique to Bitcoin.

What IS unique to Bitcoin to me is, and this is if you use it the way it's supposed to be used, that once you've lost access, there's simply no way of recovering it since no one else should ever have access to it.

It's more secure in that sense, but there is that 1 risk of you being the sole point of entry, if you die or lose access. That's the end of it.

I ask them why. If they give a sorta long reasonable response, then I follow up what other information they know. Then I ask again why.

You can wing it from there and find out if they are just venting or ranting but not really interested in the technology.

As Satoshi put it "If you don't get it or don't believe it, I don't have time to try to convince you, I'm sorry."

There are always people who doesn't feel like bitcoin to be the next big thing in this world. If i ask them what could be a bigger technology than blockchain, they can't as well think of any.  That should be their case when they know nothing about investing as well not even on any market. these are the kind of people who only thinks property and gold are the real ones. And it always end up with the argument like what if internet goes down. But i don't see that coming as well since the banking system also now is relying to Internet.

But what I do is show them the price of bitcoin since the start as its less than $1 and then look at what is its price right now and then tell me if its a scam.

I don't need to react to them.  These people have already decided to go against Bitcoin so anything you tell to them will just be in vain.  It is better to just ignore them and instead show them the fruit of what you  believe in.  It is the best way of explaining anything, besides action speak more than words and specially if it has a great result.

What others are saying shouldn't matter. What should matter is what you believe in. Just like in religion. Many are claiming that they are the children of God but no one wants to go first to be with their God. Lol. Each of us have different beliefs and we need to respect each other. If they don't believe in Bitcoin, so be it. As long as you have faith on it, that is important.

I faced this situations with few of my friends. They always Against bitcoin / blockchain. I tried to Teach them what is blockchain and how it works.but they tried to teach me that i am wrong 😂
I proved them in many ways that blockchain technology will change the economy. But after telling and providing some article link few believed and few Against blockchain.but it doesn’t mattet who believe in bitcoin/blockchain or not. I believed in bitcoin.         

I usually don't respond to such things knowing that I have already benefited from bitcoin and have proved them wrong on my own. Usually those people saying negative things about bitcoin being scummy, full of hackers and has a high risk of losing money are those who aren't invested in anything at all or are puppies of the current system that they so do love even if they are being cheated and fooled in the light of day. Ignoring the naysayers and proving your point by indirectly responding to them through your own profits and gains is much, much better than arguing which is which.

I recently saw a poster from 1900s when even electricity was criticised by many people because the wires could lead to shocks and accidents. People didn't want to use them but can you even imagine a life without electricity today? Same is the case with Cryptocurrencies because people still are confused about this technology and with time if there are benefits of Cryptocurrencies then they will get absorbed in our lives pretty quickly and easily.

Basically those who think or say that bitcoin is a fraud because they are not based on knowledge of bitcoin and the function of the blockchain, and if bitcoin is considered risky, it still makes sense because investing anywhere there will definitely be risks.
just ignore those who say bitcoin penipun because basically they do not want to be involved in it which makes negative judgments about bitcoin, and if they are involved they will realize how good and safe bitcoin is.

Well, this is a very vast topic and we can discuss about it for ages, but it all comes up to this. Wherever you hold your assets there is a risk you have to take. If you hold cash under your mattress you need to take extra house security measures that thieves won't broke into your crib. If you hold them at bank it is a safer choice, but you still just hold cash - which is a risk due to inflation. The bitcoin blockchain has resisted the test of time so far as there were no major hack that impacted the network. Same with crypto as with the fiat - you need to take security measures like keeping your BTC on a paper or hardware wallet that is not connected to the internet or trust a third party with cold wallets to hold your belongings.

I am really glad to meet people like this. and this happened to me. last year when I was hanging out with an old friend, there was one of my friends talking about bitcoin (only he started to know bitcoin, my other friends didn't know what bitcoin was). he thinks the same as you said, that bitcoin is illegal, prone to crime, investing at a very high risk (i dont know from where he get this news). after he finished speaking, then immediately I invited to debate about his statement. many of his statements that I refute by taking from several bitcoin news sources, including this forum. but surprisingly, a few months after the meeting when we were reunited, my friend actually started actively trading cryptocurrency (especially bitcoin). even now he is actively contacting me just to ask what coins have the potential to increase ;D

Why is investing in bitcoin be considered a fraud and if any one claim these they know anything about bitcoin.

If you think that their opinions are right then why you cannot justify that statement  ::).

You cannot do anything for people who think like that and it simply because they are not interested in understanding the facts and hence there is no point is making them understand anything.

Actually I don't really care, I just feel sorry because those who "don't accept" the existence of bitcoin miss an easy opportunity with high potential to make money. We who already understand the cryptocurrency ecosystem, surely know that this is very satisfying, so easy that even with the ability to write we can earn money, even just by playing games we can make money.
Sometimes I also regret that media reports that are too hyperbole illustrate the risk of investing or trading with bitcoin. Isn't that a natural thing? The risk of loss is always everywhere, we cannot avoid it, we are only able to study more seriously to reduce that risk, with analytical techniques.
So my advice, to anyone who underestimates or hates bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, come on be more open, lest you regret having wasted this great opportunity.

I cannot assume that their opinions are correct or blame their statements.
but if you ask why I say that, I have several reasons. one of which (which I see in my area) is because the spread of education about bitcoin is still lacking, most people here use smartphones only for social media, buy goods, or watch YouTube. without him they find out about technology, finance, or learn new things using the internet.
As for the seminar, it is still lacking, only in certain areas that always conduct seminars on blockchain education.
so for that reason I cannot justify or blame their statement.

It all depends on the person .
If I know that he is a closed minded person then I would just ignore it we couldn't do anything to them they already made up their mind.
But if I think that they just think of it as a scam because of their ignorance or lack of knowledge about crypto then it would be worth it to correct them and tell them how Bitcoin or crypto really works.

There are many resources that proves Bitcoin is not a scam. What scam could be still on the market for over a decade and be the number one crypto on the market ? I just don't get why some people don't make a tiniest research and come with made up words.

I don't do much. Its their loss, not mine. They chose to remain ignorant, let them be. Sensationalist media loves drama and they love to scandal just to increase views. You could try telling them they are wrong, but its a waste of time. Try once if you want, i wouldn't bother much afterwards.

That said i trust Bitcoin, but not most of the other altcoins. Some have actually been pure scam (Paycoin anyone?) so its not like that's a lie, at least if you use "cryptocurrency" instead of Bitcoin, involving, altcoins.

"Hackers" target anything online, including your everyday fiat currency. Usually the banks do their homework and secure their systems, but most users won't, so they go for the weakest link. Bitcoin usage in crime is the same or less than for all money related activities. I say less, because there have been studies that show that criminals still prefer traditional fiat currency. it is a known fact that Bitcoin can leave more traces than fiat when used inappropriately. The blockchain is public, after all...

But, don't fall for the buzzword. Talk Bitcoin, not blockchain. A blockchain is no guarantee of safety, it is but a part of a machine, and it can be very unsafe when not paired with the other parts such ample widespread decentralization. You CAN have a blockchain live in a single private computer, but that would make a poor database replacement. Blockchain does not magically mean much, it is the whole thing brought with Bitcoin.

You must think about how to invest, with which people to interact and which companies to trust. Bitcoin is just an investment tool. Bitcoin is not scam, scam are companies that are abusing Bitcoin

There were so many people who were poor and became rich! there are so many here who gone from mining to be a simple rich person!
We should have our mindset! we should not let fud affect us! we should not though news affects us! we should be smarter of what they were before! we will have the future right?>

Everyone is free to think there is nothing wrong with that, but because we really like bitcoin so if there is those who denigrate
bitcoin we cannot accept that. It's only natural that we will definitely try to defend bitcoin and convince the counter parties that
bitcoin is not a scam. But we can't make everyone like bitcoin, for sure there are only parties who are cons. That is the natural
law there are always two sides, if you ask me, let them with their opinions. The important thing is we don't harm anyone by trusting
bitcoin is something big for the future.

To all the people saying that bitcoin is a scam, just do not say or spread. If you do not believe, leave it alone or do not use it. Wrong accusation should not be tolerated. Many people believe and hope for bitcoin; as a matter of fact, they are still waiting and believing will comeback to consistency.

All of us have our respective opinions based on one's experiences but these opinions need to be substantiated and covered with definite proof especially if the opinion consists of allegations against the said complaint.
For instance, there are some that complain that bitcoin is a scam DUE to some incurring loss in the process, while others say that bitcoin blessed them with the opportunity of earning significant amounts of money.

It all depends on how we view bitcoin as everyone is entitled to have their opinion or view on a certain matter/thing. But this escalates quickly especially if someone made an accusation against something/someone without backing enough proof.

I think don't mind them because bitcoin is decentralized and digital currency so some people are thinking that bitcoin is scam.
If people lack of knowledge about bitcoin they think bitcoin is scam. So try to understand them if they don't believe in bitcoin.

The structure of this post is hard to understand, but I am assuming you are talking about hacking issues related to crypto-currencies and the scammers that bitcoin is often related to?

Obviously there has been a shit-ton of bad press, with companies painting a picture that crypto-currencies are the only reason why money laundering and hacks are only viable via BTC, which is just false.

Don't worry about those people - with more and more companies showcasing the potential with blockchain technology, these people will be forced to change their views. Let them hate now...

I don't think you need to think of many people who say that, you just let it go and you can prove that you can become rich with bitcoin and after that people who say bitcoin scam will try to learn bitcoin and will definitely ask you how you can get lots of money from bitcoin.

Educate yourself start from the very basic cryptocurrency, blockchain technology behind bitcoin to the very technical aspects about bitcoin so you can break every single statement they judged about how they think bitcoin as a biggest scam or whatever they called it. We can't dictate what you should explain/ answer in case you meet that typical guy who have bad view about bitcoin as the questions or statements might be various.

I mean some people think that 'bitcoin value is based on nothing , based on thin air ( trump style ) it could fall down anytime , it's scam!' Well you can simply reply them with 'how about USD currency, What is the USD based on?' Start with that to confuse them, it works on me ;D.

Moreover if there's someone doubting the bitcoin security like taking an example on how there's a lot of bitcoin worth millions dollar stolen... there's nothing safe on the internet, convincing them by elaborate how the blockchain system designed more secure with cryptographic algorithms etc. That's why once again you need to educate yourself .

And basically you forcing people to believe in you won't really effective at all. As you are telling someone to do aomething or believe on it such as bitcoin, the more their mind becomes close. What we need to so is to show them outputs. Not necessary the profit from bitcoin, there's  allot of good things we can do such as transferring money, paying bills without and ease and many other more. Soon, they will find bitcoin and crypto, a very beneficial currency.

Im over people who think bitcoin is a scam. Thy dont think and i cant understand them at all. I wonder ehat isn't a scam to them and what sort of financial endeavours they are involved that they talk with such authority of the subject. Meanwhile they know next to nothing and have never traded in their life.

That is why it would be better to let them think that way.
I prefer not to think and talk to them if other people will think that bitcoin is scam. It's better to let bitcoin on its own, to show its true meaning and its value. That way, they may be realize to themselves that their mindset is wrong and they will correct it and probably think the opposite by that time comes.

if there are people like that I will let it. because I think everyone has different thoughts and views. we cannot force our opinions. what we need to do is not spread negative news about bitcoin. those people think negatively about bitcoin because what they often hear is negative about bitcoin. so we should as people in the bitcoin community always spread positive news about bitcoin.

Lets him think about want to said with bitcoin scam or not, for me if give profit every moment I will joined and invest my money with bitcoin and altcoin without care about people said, many people do not know with bitcoin and only focus when bitcoin down make bad news with bitcoin scam, when bitcoin up they will silent and never show again for saying bitcoin scam.

The truth is that these people are wrong, Bitcoin and the rest of Altcoins in general are safe, however, the negative news makes a lot of noise and as in different ICOs and even with solid projects like Bitcoin there have been scams, then people doubt.

In my case, I give a clear explanation of the operation of cryptocurrencies and the security measures that must be taken, obviously, there are sites and people with a bad reputation, it is necessary to identify them and not allow these people to affect the image of Bitcoin or other Altcoins .

Let them alone, let them think whatever they want, let them see what will happen in this cryptocurrency platform in the coming days, I don't have any intention to manage such type of people to make understand about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. No time for those people who still believe that Bitcoin is a scam and fraud, don't waste your time to make them clear about this system, I also think it's not our concern who believe or not if they have enough education about the technological development then they must have a positive attitude regarding this issue, so don't' take those people as your main concern or something like this.

It's already the stereotype and we can't change every mindset. What we have to do to is to teach them the right thing about bitcoin. Actually, it becomes normal for me to hear their first impression about bitcoin. A lot think that way. It's okay to teach them. But what I hate is that, people thinking something wrong about bitcoin but doesn't want to accept the correct one. I mean, people who don't want to listen and believe you even you're teaching them what bitcoin really is.

I will tell them what they need to know, and if they don't, I will do nothing here because they don't want to open their minds for bitcoin. Maybe someday they may also understand this when the time comes for bitcoin to be fully accepted in all governments and stores, when it is already available for all transactions.

Its better to see the situation first how he see later maybe I will explain but if he still hold bad trust then I will leave it alone ,let him assume anything later he will surely be embarrassed and return to ask in detail and will definitely be incorporated in this business

The best way to react to such scenario is to talk to such person about what blockchain technology and bitcoin really is,  because majority of those who falls into this category does not know about cryptocurrency
They might have read about or come across someone who has been scammed or hacked,  that was what brought fear into them,  
By telling them about what crypto entails,  and explaining to them on how to secure their crypto investment, the volatility and the future benefits of investing in bitcoin will be best way to react to them

Telling them about the blockchain technology will only bore them. It is better to let them experience how great it is to use bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies when having transactions. It is also some kind of investment, but it is different from investment scheme which is what they fear of.
For this reason, they might realize and understand the real usage of bitcoin.

Don't mind those kind of people "Just mind your own business". If that is their view in crypto,let them in their perspective. I believed someday they will also know the importance of crypto in our generation despite of risk and volatility.

I am tired of responding to the many statements and questions of others about Bitcoin & I'm tired of trying to make others think as we think about Bitcoin because they only believe in what is in the article that writes about the ugliness of Bitcoin..  just let them think according to what they think because we have nothing to lose...  when Blockchain Technology is truly adopted and Bitcoin continues to lead cryptocurrencies then those who think Bitcoin is a scam will regret it for life.

They are free to believe in what they want, Bitcoin has been existing for 10 years already, are they not tired to still say that Bitcoin is scam. Because of the fact that a lot of people got scammed to crypto so the assumption and the impression of people is that it was a scam too.

I wouldn't waste my time explaining to almost everyone that BITCOIN IS NOT A SCAM. those people don't really know what they are saying. Sorry but I wouldn't educate every people about bitcoin just to clear their minds. Well I can do that with my friends and people that I know. But if they really think it's a scam and a bad thing, I'll let them. It's not my loss afterall. They're the one who run away from bitcoin.

They will never regret as they don't have logical mindset and regardless of whatever bitcoin achieve these people will be the one to still post saying bitcoin is a bubble or scam or end of bitcoin sort of statements.  We need to just ignore those fudders as the growth of bitcoin itself is a best response to them.  I think we should start reporting their post for spreading false propaganda against bitcoin and crypto currency, even I am tired of seeing those negative threads everything let it be bull market or bearish market.

It is said that we are in the information age, which is true, but we are also in the era of misinformation, because anyone speculates with false news, then it is shared and they believe it.

Cryptocurrencies have been marred by criminals who have made many scams, so many people think that investing in Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency in general is very risky, but it is not so, if appropriate measures are taken, it can be operated with high security levels, of course regardless of market price variations, since this is another issue.

just ignore it if there are people who think like that, bitcoin has been running for 10 years even though there is a lot of negative news about bitcoin, bitcoin is still loved by many people. chances are people who hate bitcoin only spread FUD to buy bitcoin cheaper.

Bitcoin is not a scam, the person who do scam is a scam.  The bitcoin is just a coin that you can invest so where you can lose or gain benefit such by do trading or other investment platform.

They scam using bitcoin so we can see that bitcoin is a scam.

Bitcoin was mostly used in darkweb,you can even see every site accept bitcoin as their payment for their service or products so people see this as something wrong but its that only place bitcoin used no,even governments accepts taxes in the bitcoin payment so the things changed but people not aware of it so better teach them what is cryptos if we can when we found someone who have wrong understanding about it.

I always ask further where their negative thoughts come from, I always meet people like this. And very remarkable, more answers are limited to theories from documentaries, or articles about crypto investment fraud that actually only write bitcoin as a sweetener, but in fact use shitcoin. their average literacy is weak and they have never tried it directly. Sometimes I think that they are just afraid.

No, their opinions are not wrong at all. I don't know in what sense you used the word "fraught". So lets skip that part. About the hackers "risk". They are not wrong. Their computer and wallets can get hacked. This is nothing new. If you keep your money at your house without securing it, there is a chance someone can break in and steal all your money. In the same sense, if you don't keep your wallet or your computer secured, there is always a chance of losing your coins.

It depends. There are people who will choose to believe things with zero to no proof, just take a look at the recent years and the perception of bitcoin from the public. Remember when bitcoin was being showcased as a tool only for the darknet and people were only able to commit illegal and inhumane crimes due to it? There's still a lot of people from that period who do this date still think that, and what's the proof in that? Anyone who spent an extra minute looking would have found out that was not the case at all.

The media is very important in our everyday lives, and it's important to learn not to always believe in them - if the bull run didn't get showcased and reported on as much as it did, we could be looking at much lower price and community nowadays.

People who say that don't understand the basic idea of bitcoin. Bitcoin came into existence to give this world an alternate form of payment system which is decentralized and transparent which solves all the problem that is with the fiat currency today. Bitcoin was inflated and manipulated in 2017 when it touched the ATH. But that isn't the problem with the Bitcoin. Since it is decentralized, many exchanges manipulate volume and fraud people. This makes people think that BTC is a scam or a bubble. But if you notice the trends, it always corrects its price and maintain an organic growth.

like the condition when the ransomeware virus attacks in several countries last year. because they ask for rewards with bitcoin. And scam investment with bitcoin. so many people believe that Bitcoin is bad, a place of fraud, hackers, and HYIP.
even my family and neighbors. but some of my knowledge about bitcoin. I explained that it was wrong. Bitcoin is like real money. which can be used for anything, including bad things like fraud, etc. Bitcoin is a digital currency. one of the complementary currencies in the world. and finally they began to believe. that's what i did. help give a little bit of understanding that I have about bitcoin to them.

Just let them be on what would they like to say because for sure sooner or later they would realize that their initial impressions are definitely not in the right path.

Its common for people to have those negative insights due to bad publicity of media and other articles and if you do have zero knowledge about blockchain tech
and crypto then for sure you would really believe on what you do read.Out of curiosity you will surely uncover on what the truth.

Now it's high time those fudders should understand that if bitcoin was a bubble it will not last 10 years like bitcoin did and moreover they have accept the fact that bitcoin will always be  fluctuating due to the fact that there are huge investors who can easily manipulate the price and even if we as a bitcoin community decides to stop it we cannot do it. But I agree with the point which you have mentioned about correction as we have seems a long correction period for bitcoin and everything was slow paced until 23rd October 2019 and I think there might be some fluctuations ahead after what has happened in last 3 days.

Bitcoin has been around for ten years and all of its problems have been overcome, even though it is falling we know it will rise again. So this is what I can tell bitcoin haters, If you don't want to keep up with the evolving technology, okay! You will be surprised one day when you are asked if you have bitcoin to pay for your meals or any service!

differences of opinion are natural especially since they don't know the truth, I don't really care about people like that, maybe they think because bitcoin is often made for money laundering, and anonymous bitcoin transactions.

Ignore, maybe thats the right step so as not to cause chaos. But should we try to explain what really happened until the person understood ?
I think if I meet people like that in the real world then I will try to explain the problem and if they dont believe its their business. The point is dont justify the wrong and dont blame the right.
I think all types of activities will have their own risks, and we can only be aware and minimize the risks that may be caused, so not having to be afraid because fear will only make us fail.

Most people who say Bitcoin is a fraud are those who are new to Cryptocurrency, and we don't need to take it seriously. As we all know, Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency are modern technologies, Cryptocurrency is a digital payment instrument that is present at the right time, that is, when times are more advanced and all-digital. These are real and they are people who are pessimistic about new technology.  We can try to give them understanding, but if they argue we leave it.

I won't blame them much because the world today has been flooded with a lot of scam projects.
 So there is an absence of trust, that's why people refuse to believe

indeed today many people say bitcoin is a scam but with the condition that bitcoin prices can be very expensive like what happened yesterday then they will be silent and will feel surprised because the price of bitcoin has increased that much and that quickly in a short time, so more better keep quiet than having to provide services to bitcoin haters.

Have any of you guys noticed that those who know least make up the biggest stories? People who talk all these tall tales about how bad bitcoin is and all this silly nonsense like it is for criminals etc always comes from people who don't actually know very much about anything never mind bitcoin. Unless they have an altered motive and are trying to convince or confuse the weak.


They mean nothing to us anyway. Let's have them think what they want to think and we will enjoy the benefits of bitcoin while they stay poor forever.  :)

Yes, and those type of people knows nothing. Most of them are just spreading anything they heard without knowing if it's true or not.
We can just ignore them since they don't worth our time. We should continue what we are doing while they were left behind.

if anyone says bitcoin is a fraud i will do is ask him why do you say bitcoin is a cheat? then I will explain about bitcoin and cryptocurrence in earnest that bitcoin and cryptocurrency are new breakthroughs in the financial system and technology. if we can use bitcoin and blockchain well we will get many benefits. but I also admit that cryptocurrency has an anonymous weakness that is often used to commit crime. but this is not the fault of cryptocurrency but it is the user's fault. cannot use cryptocurrency wisely..

I think most people just categorize anything on the internet as not genuine or scam as mostly referred to, most people don't believe in anything as digital currency, they are familiar with hard or physical currency, and just like you said they are most influenced by all the negative articles about btc they read on the internet, and they have never took the time to actually read and research about it, they will rather go with hearsay from the wrong sources.

Those people who sees not only Bitcoin but cryptocurrency in general are the ones who knows a little about money. Whenever I see people saying negatives to Bitcoin and crypto, I just laugh at them and saying to myself "Lets meet again after 3-5 years".

Most of the times we see news regarding hacks and scams that is related to Bitcoin and since this is the only news that a normal people sees on the internet, they will generalize it saying that Bitcoin and crypto is a scam.

Let them share their opinion and let us do what we know can help us. TBH, I don't want to teach other people regarding Bitcoin because I know that they are not interested on it. Different mindset = different results trust me :)

That's bad since there's a lots of opportunities inside this market, so instead of listening to hearsay it's much better study and do your own research before judging the whole thing. If you are concerned with someone who have misleading information regarding to bitcoin, you can turned that thought and correct them, giving  proper insight with how you understood the industry will able to give them a heads up from what they've missing with such negative understanding.

People who knows the importance of bitcoin never say its scam and who say have no knowledge about technology or how does actually btc and other altcoin works.Most of them even didn't about it but say this due to negativity spread by the others just to manipulate the prices.But our community will always have faith in the potential of bitcoin and know its not a bubble but most important digital coin of the century so we did not need to explain anything to negative people as with growing adoption and price pumps they will also recognize it.

Yeah most people often refer to btc as scam because they have no knowledge about the technology, it is good not to believe anything we hear and read but try and make our own research to receive the correct information about things, I did my own research on btc never allow negative talk to discourage.

Me ? Meh , id just ignore them  . They are smart but if that's their belief then go . I wont make an argument about them or convinvlce them that what they think is wrong .

They also got a point because Bitcoin did actually start as a bad coin because of it's dark use but suddenly it was slowly change , the image of btc have change because many people are now also accepting and using it .

In my opinion, just ignore those who consider negative bitcoin or fraud because that will only be a debate because they are not based on deeper knowledge about bitcoin.
and I've also experienced meeting people like that and they still don't believe it even though I explained it, and let it be my choice and someday they will realize how positive bitcoin is if we are in it.

It's funny how my friends criticize me too during those times I am introducing Bitcoin to them, and now where are they, they are one of investors too as they later found out that Bitcoin was not a scam at all, and I am not trying to get money from them just like Hyip scam. lol. Anyway, sometimes in life we need to check and investigate first before we say it is scam.

I would just send some Bitcoins in his wallet and then let the things grow on their own because no one can actually do this thing , you just have to grow on this thing on your own , also I would tell them how everything works and how you can actually earn with bitcoins , with trading and with signature campaigns and such .
Also it's just the people who never used Bitcoin who consider bitcoins a scam .

It is true that some people do not check the truth of the news about cryptocurrency that can be obtained. Therefore no wonder
many assume bitcoin is a scam. Should every information we get, whether negative or positive information be investigated the
truth. So there will be no more misunderstanding about bitcoin, especially people who are new to bitcoin It is advisable to conduct
an investigation and research yourself about the truth of bitcoin.

Well, I'll just simply tell them my opinion regards with crypto and even share my experiences through it. If they had bad perception to Bitcoin then there's nothing I can do about it perhaps I'll still tell them that there are good benefits of using a crypto and if they did refuse to accept it then probably I will enjoy the benefits myself along with the people who believes on it.

When I come across a person who thinks Bitcoin is a scam, I try to make him/her informed by sharing some sources that tell what really Bitcoin is and its history. I hope they will have a good understanding by reading from true sources.

What they think about bitcoin doesn't matter, what matters is how would I react to them and to what I'm hearing from them. It was said that dogs bark to those they don't know, so it will be natural if a non-crypto people would say ill descriptions and perceptions about bitcoin because what they know is only the surface of what bitcoin is all about. and will only listen to what they wanna hear and talk about whatbthey thought they know. I won't get myself into some nonsense argument especially if I know that the person's capability of accepting new and different perspectives isn't as high as the information they are about to absorb.

It is their idea, just respect it. It is their loss and not ours, bitcoin can be risky due to susceptibility of being scammed or hacked, but if you know what you are doing you can lessen the risk of it. Most people who get scammed or backed are those who think bitcoin is an easy way to get money. They invest in anything that promises great return without checking it, the impression they make or have is due to their own fault.

I just like this your idea of sending some bitcoin into those ignorant individuals who are against bitcoin to show the practicality of it through their wallet and perhaps when btc pumped right there in their presence then I believed they will have a change in perception of the what bitcoin is all about and possibly changed their negative orientation about bitcoin being a scam.
This issue of classifying bitcoin as scam have been raging for long I believed this is right time we start putting people through to the positive aspect of bitcoin.

Misinformation is common with Bitcoin. First time you hear about bitcoin you ask what is this and get a tonn of inacurate answers and articles full of lies, having nothing to do with the technology or the fundamentals.
Sadly you need to spent enough hours just to find a proper source to read. Most people don't have enought time to figure out if it is worth it.
Before you found out the whitepape, you probably listened about Bitcoin from the news, probably calling it a scam or a pump and dump scheme, or worse connecting it with criminal activities and hacking.
Most of the times the news coverage is bad for bitcoin, making it look shady in the minds of their viewers.

Saying that something is a scam because there's a risk that you can be hacked is retarded. I could say banks are a scam because there's a risk someone hacks your account and steals the money. They don't even reimburse people who fell victim of phishing and gave hackers access to their bank accounts.

It's not that different from Bitcoin. I'd say it's even worse because the bank is a third party under risk of bankruptcy.

It cannot be denied that some may think btc as scam. If that is their notion, I may not convince them to reverse their belief but I may say that it cannot harm them directly if they will try. They must know that every investment is risky and sometimes uncertain. We must or should invest amount that we can risk to loss.

In order to help them understand what bitcoin and crypto is, we should know to explain little by little without them feeling that we are forcing them to understand it (Though, we're not really forcing them). To understand it clearly, respond when they need it. That means, if someone needs help, help them but incorporate crypto on it. I have an experience that my friend, a non crypto users really need a money, since he's my friends, I helped him but I ask him to open up a wallet for me to help. Him, now knowing that is crypto, tried it. Soon he asked me what technology is that, and then explain.

Most of the time, people want the result, a result that can be seen by the eye, not just a mere thoughts explaining all over again which they might find distressful.

how id Investment development now?

There are two parts to this. There are people who claim that Bitcoin is a scam, just like the various HYIPs and Ponzi/Pyramid schemes out there. And there are groups of people out there who claims that it is very difficult to store Bitcoin on your own, as there is a very high chance that they can get stolen. These two are entirely different topics and should be treated as such.

Now does anyone still believe that Bitcoin is a Ponzi? BTC has been in existence for more than 10 years, and if it was actually a ponzi scheme, then it wouldn't have survived for this long. Typical pyramid schemes last for only a few weeks, or a few months at the most. Now coming to the security part, I have been using BTC for 7 years now and till now no one has managed to hack in to my wallets. Take the basic security precautions and you should be fine.

Likewise, we cannot blame those people who will say that Bitcoin is a scam as there are lots of scam out there using Bitcoin as a tool to get fund from the people, so their mindset will be negative and we cannot force them to believe unless they will see, do research and conduct investigation at their own discretion.

Some of them knows bitcoin at first that is only use for crime , we dont need to blame them or get pity them because of what they are thinking. Just tell them the advantages of it, it could be for long term and short term investment, for purchasing online goods and all the rest will follow. Know their reason too before judge them, then educate them.

If people are having a negative judgement about bitcoin without even knowing what it is all about how can we change their misinterpretation who has no interest about the new market nor interested to know about it and all they know and hear is the negative news, bitcoin as a financial asset is well documented several time in many financial magazines about the market and still they are least bothered to understand it, then it is better to leave them alone.

Bitcoin does not, cheat,
This statement is a little wrong with people who have experienced darkness.
Cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, is a form of digital asset, which is traded in hundreds of well-known and ordinary markets.

There are official markets and some are not official, there are 100% security guarantees and security is also weak.

This is a very big problem faced by bitcoin investments and bitcoin trading. by the customer.
So it's not Bitcoin that cheats, the Bitcoin investment market must be really safe and controlled, if this is guaranteed certain people will definitely experience security and avoid fraud.

People simply call btc as scam supporting blockchain but they should understand blockchain is so famous it is only because of bitcoin transactions

This is given that people call btc as a scam. And we know that we cannot please everyone on what they think about bitcoin. Some people use btc as an instrument to scam and they should be aware of how to manage this kind of situation. Indeed they should understand how blockchain transactions work and if they will understand they will know that bitcoin has many to offer and it’s good features.

That's their appreciation and we can make some twist to that if they would like to listen to us and even tried to look deeper inside what Bitcoin or crypto be meant to us right now. We can't live to that argument if they still pursuing that it was a scam rather than to set aside and let them find in some other ways to know more about. Will have to respect them either, we know already the importance of bitcoin and it sounds like we are the one to give them the way and think differently.

If ever I will meet one, I wouldn't mind wasting my time explaining to them that what they believe is definitely a lie. Bitcoin is not a scam and we all know that, informing those who has their ears closed is such a huge waste of time and energy, they don't really know what they are missing out. They will be those people who will be the most regretful when the time come that bitcoin gets to the very top and become legalized all over the world.

It's amazing that there are still people out there who think bitcoin is a scam. It's clearly not.

never mind, they are people who do not understand technology and may always watch the FUD on the news. IMO they are just wasting their chance to get a chance to utilize one of the best technologies on the internet. Well, I feel like they only play tiktok or something. Who would have thought that bitcoin was a tool for fraud or the current Ponzi scheme? come on, I think they need more education than just seeing FUDs spread out there.

Some people are just being fed at what they see in the news, and the funny thing is that many people that has been shouting if bitcoin being a scam actually has never had an experience of scam in their life, and some might not even know what the whole blockchain technology is about, which is why we think that we need to educate people more on the use of blockchain itself and how it is related to bitcoin for them to understand that bitcoin was never meant to scam people.

It is only people that took advantage of the system to create bad characters out of it in which bitcoin is not the only system that is being used to perpetuate such act, the fiat is also used for fraudulent cases too. If they want to really know what bitcoin is for and understand that it is not used for fraud, we should get regulation, then the real effect of bitcoin will be fully shown.

I just listen to such people's statement and sometimes tries to convince them but its very hard to get them into the BTC stream. Most of my friends just do not talk about Bitcoin due to no or little knowledge about it and some friends related to banking sectors have its legalization concern which may be right to some extent. As far as blockchain technology is concerned most of the people around just know its name and do not know the real purpose and benefits of blockchain technology. I think it will take sometime to make common man understand blockchain and its benefits over tradition methods of financial transactions.

Usually they simply just don't have enough information or get the wrong information from unreliable sources. They don't understand something, but that doesn't make it a scam.

Looking at how bitcoin is recovering, I would say that investment in bitcoin is really getting so interesting and people can now see that bitcoin is not a scam as it is really responding to actions of people’s buy and sell order which is what we need to get use to that is creating volatility.

The only investment that is yet to recover now, is the ones of altcoins, which are the ones that is really full of scam, but the top ones that are not scam will not be making anything tangible until maybe sometimes next year when the altcoin market is really recovering. If there is extra cash for anyone now, I think this is the time they still need to make more investment in bitcoin because this recovery is really heeding straight to about $15000 within the next few weeks.

Although there's a lot of ways for them to learn and have known about crypto, but people chooses not to. So, this thing will really depend on them if they want to know it then Google is the key, if they don't then they won't find a way to get through it.

Anyway, as for my family and friends that still don't believe in Bitcoin up to this date, time will come they will tell to me that why I didn't push them to believe in me.

True, it's either misinformation or lack of knowledge about the subject. but the thing is most of these people calling bitcoin a scam are not really interested in bitcoin and even if you try to
explain it properly to them they will simply ignore whatever you tell them and will stick to what they believe. but I don't also blame them since bitcoin has been associated with different
kind of illegal activities including scams.

I'll ignore them, they aren' worthy of your time and effort because these type of people are close minded and no matter how good you educate them, they won't accept it, it's not my lost anyway its there's. For me, what matters most is that I know bitcoin isn't a scam and if people will insist it's a scam then let them be, i'll do my thing and I know they will only swallow there words and realize that bitcoin is 100% legit and very far from scam.

If they do not make money immediately then it must be a scam. People can be crazy sometimes with their beliefs and way they make excuses just so they do not blame themselves.
How can someone get involved in something they have such a lack of understanding?


Their opinion doesn't matter to us. Let them believe as they wish and live their life and we live ours. Out chance of financial freedom is much closer than theirs.

Fraud and hacking can happen it's most likely the user's own fault, we can't just blame bitcoin for granted. Almost the same as you, should people who think like that should be given positive side information from bitcoin. As we know there will be positive and negative sides to something, so understanding them is necessary so as not to cause misunderstandings.

Why we should waste our time thinking of others opinion, let's just stay focus with what we are aiming and what we would like to have, Bitcoin is just  there no matter how negative they are, for 11 years of existence, it is enough to prove its legitimacy, advantages and benefits, for those who cannot trust Bitcoin, leave and ignore them.

Most of the time, it is normal for people to be in doubt because of a lot of scams lurking all over the internet, it is fine, let us give them time and space, let's not judge them too, they might be a victim or what, time will come they will eventually know it well.

I don't get it. What is the connection of bitcoin being either profitable or not profitable included? So if bitcoin is profitable it is not a scam? So when bitcoin is not profitable it is a scam? So if I buy a gold bar and then I failed to profit after 1 month, gold is a scam? lmao!

Everybody has the right to his/her opinion and you can't take that away from them but the problem is that most judgements from people are based on false perceptions. It's likely to hear a good number of people all claiming that bitcoin and the whole cryptosphere is scam based on an article or a newsletter they read online forgetting about all the possible and good use cases of this same technology.

People tend to criticise what they don't understand and Cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin is not different, some people just don't comprehend how it works, I have a few friends who are still skeptical but as time passed, they are beginning to see what I see in Blockchain technology, it's good to see that many of those who spent so much time fighting against Cryptocurrencies are now wholeheartedly embracing it and one of the biggest of them all is Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and also recently, the Chinese Government who went as far as describing the technology as the future.

Against with people said bitcoin scam just showing how increase of bitcoin price from first time until today, check how increase history of bitcoin value. I think is not their business with bitcoin scam or not during I can earn much profit with bitcoin trading or investing, keep focus with bitcoin profit is enough and show them how much money you get from investing with bitcoin to make them quit with their statement.

Like any other currencies, it can be used with accordance to the owner’s intentions. Bitcoin is like our regular currency where it can be used either in good or bad but the difference is it is digital. So going on by this line, it is not the Bitcoin itself who is a scam. But if you really think the Bitcoin itself is a scam just because it doesn’t manifest itself physically then maybe you need to get to know it more.

Most of the people who are against bitcoin really don't know how does actually it works or we can say that they are not able to understand the technical working of bitcoin and blockchain technology and spread news like it is bubble based on the wordings of others.So we don't need to make any sort of clarifications to those as slowly they will know its importance and get used to its uasge with more adoption as btc is future of digital payments.

Actually just because they are not involved in bitcoin and without basic knowledge about bitcoin and blockchain that makes them unable to understand how Bitcoin and blockchain work and very good benefits if involved in it, and we also cannot blame those who rate bitcoin as fraud and because of their stupidity not seeking the truth in detail.
and there's no point in responding to those who think bitcoin is a fraud because that would be a debate and it's better to ignore it.

Years ago I would have tried to convince people like them of their mistake and showed them why bitcoin was going to be the currency of the future and why it was a good idea to buy some, but now I do not care, if people do not want to believe in bitcoin then that is their problem, if the economic system begins to show its weakness and as a result of this bitcoin begins to move up then I will be happy for myself and the members of the forum which always believed in bitcoin, if everyone else wants to learn the hard way then let them.

Basically we cannot blame these people that are having a difficulty in trusting cryptocurrency. As it is their main coping mechanism to avoid putting themselves to risk. In my opinion, we should think of the way where these people should be the one to approach us and ask what cryptocurrency and bitcoin is. Instead of talking to them about it like we really want their participation as it induces a feeling uncertainty to them.

It is actually lack of understanding that is making those people see bitcoin as a scam which I would not really blame them because they need proper understanding for them to really know bitcoin is not a scam.

When I was initially introduced to bitcoin too, I had just witnessed some other ponzi scheme that I had very bad experience on, so I would not have believed that time that there is going to be this type of scheme that will be a genuine one, so I also counted it as scam, but when I was able to understand the system, I regretted my statement and I made amendment where necessary which is still one of my regrets in life that I did not make move when the price was still very attractive and when I had enough money then to buy as much as I can for the future.

I do the same, if they dont like BTC then let it be .we dont need to change thier mind they just need  to learn more about bitcoin by thier own. Besides they will realise it later why bitcoin is the future currency . i hope  they are not that late and regret not learning it as early as possible so they have opportunity to earn with it.

Bitcoin is not actually scam. You are just saying that maybe because you invested in some project that is not trusted. There are lots of scammers in here since we are in the world of internet, there are lots of people you dont know. They are taking advantage of other people just to get their money. I actually read different reviews before joining or supporting a particular project just to make sure that my time is not wasted on nothing. I am reading articles on a particular project so that my time and money is worth it if I invested in that ICO. You can say that because the market is on downfall, you should wait for the right time that the market will recover since the nature of cryptocurrency is volatility, meaning the value is changing time by time when there is transaction happening.

I think the people that are calling bitcoin a scam, fraud, or Ponzi, don't actually have the knowledge regarding bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency that is very fast with lower transaction fees, secure and fully decentralized. Maybe they should go and ask people who underestimated bitcoin and call bitcoin names between 2011 to 2013.

Explaining to someone who has no previous knowledge about crypto is really a tough job.
If they ask, explain it but if not, better let them investigate it on their own.
Every individual has their own opinion towards crypto. It is a slow process of learning the unknown.
They can't understand crypto and blockchain overnight. It would take time to learn the ins and outs just like when we started in crypto.
You should not lose your temper when someone is labeling btc as ponzi, fraud or scam. They will realize that they are wrong later on.

if they do not believe I can do nothing but waste my time explaining because they do not know bitcoin and they are not very open on these topics or they have not read the news about it I will let them go because I know the use of bitcoin and it's not a scam

sometimes it's really hard to convince people that bitcoin is not a scam but it is much harder to stop them from joining and promoting future potential scam projects. Too much greediness less knowledge.

They are entitled to their opinion, do you think differently?

These people don't really have knowledge about bitcoin or cryptocurrency because if they know what bitcoin is and what it can give and provide then they will not say that bitcoin is a scam. There are a lot of scams using bitcoin, yes but it doesn't mean that bitcoin is overall scam, it just that some people are using bitcoins anonymity to defraud people.

Let them all react that way, they really don't know what they are missing out. We are the one who are more knowledgeable about bitcoin's realness and benefits and we should not let their doubts and theories manipulate the way we are thinking. They are just clueless of the true nature of bitcoin and its capability to be the future currency of the world. If ever I am going to meet one, I wouldn't mind wasting my time explaining, I would let them be and wait till they realize the mistake they are currently committing.

Yeah right, Well, you can't convince people if they are really not interested to learn. A lot of people would really say it's a scam unless they will be able to witness or see that you get rich because of it. That's the time that they are going to believe in you so much better to focus on earning big to convince many people to invest in bitcoin. Instead, show them how we are successful in using Bitcoin and how our financial problem solved. In that way, probably they will follow our step in adopting Bitcoin.

Why would waste our time to people who are negative and don't take a chance to believe in us, if they think that we are trying to scam them, then so be it, let them regret later for not allowing us to change their lives, just the way we did. It's usual that you won't believe easily, but what's unusual is that you are saying 'no' easily without checking and doing investigation, means they don't trust you, so, why would bother make time for them.

Keep invest your money with bitcoin without care with your around family, I am not looking with serious team how to build their product and buy back after price down, I only focus and keep working with bitcoin as my investing, although my neighbor have sleep and waiting when their are opening for investor, you can give how feature with your bitcoin and altcoin price.

It’s called a scam by them because it's not something they can physically hold, they don't understand why it's algorithm has value, from a technological standpoint it's blockchain "breakthroughs" only serve to perpetuate itself. They see Bitcoin as a “traditional” system where a company makes them, controls them, and sells them to buyers. also because there's a lot of actual crypto scams that take advantage of bitcoin popularity.

On the other hand, the people deliberately call it fraud, is probably a pretty diverse group though. Some are just straight up trolls, who would troll any community, but is currently getting the most bang for their buck in this sub. Others are bitter and jealous of early adopters like you said. Others are quite clearly opposed to bitcoin because it will negatively affect their industry (think bankers), and others are quite clearly paid to spread negative sentiment around bitcoin. However, It's all good though, those who understand the tech and it's value proposition will have the last laugh.

There are many scams in the market and majority of the time the scammers will be using fiat currency but i have not seen anyone claiming fiat to be the culprit rather the person behind the scam as the culprit and when it comes to bitcoin everyone is claiming that bitcoin is used to scam is just not the way you should see things, the only explanation you can give is that, bitcoin is not created by any company nor a centralized source, it is an open source public ledger that has monetary values.

 

They don't know what bitcoin is, they don't hold it and they've never invested into it. I understand if some of them were once a victim of online scam and they also treat bitcoin could be the same of line as those. But that's the reality and possible reasons why they keep on telling bitcoin is a scam although there's also some existing scams that uses bitcoin as their currency so they misunderstood that it's bitcoin as the whole thing and didn't look at the exact scam platform that they've seen.

Those kind of people who claims Bitcoin to be a scam seems too interesting to me. How would you say that to a currency that has been developing and existing in the market for 10 years. I wonder how they can support their claims.

It will never be clear to me when someone says it's a scam for something unfamiliar with it.
Only people who do not know the stalls are saying that bitcoin is a scam.
let them modernize a little, let them get out of that stone where they live and read a little about postures that speak to various prejudices, or worse believe those people who always have prejudices.
How do they behave when you tell them that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are the "money of the future" will not long be a trend paper money, at the speed of light.
So, it's not too late to say that the internet exists.

I think that after 10 years of Bitcoin in the market and with all the volume of information that exists, it is still being said that it is a scam, it is clear that the market is volatile and speculative and that in any area there are always criminals Seeking to capitalize on the situation, however, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general offer excellent opportunities for business and investment.

If Bitcoin would be a scam, it could have gone by now. But there it is, trying to be at a better level than ever. It is too merciless that a person says this for a currency that is the most powerful crypto in the market.

Well, it has to say that they don't know anything and not that they don't see or read it in news but because they keep ignoring this opportunity.
We can't do anything for them, they have their own perspective and crypto appreciation but actually, they are wrong and have no basis for their thoughts. Leaving to that position, it's up to them and hopefully, they will listen to us and change their mind and gives some positive looks over Bitcoin/crypto.

I advise such people to study in more detail what bitcoin is, because most of these people think superficially; it struck someone that it was a pyramid, but Bitcoin has real technology and application in the world, unlike classical financial pyramids, which promise only extra profit if you bring us money. That is why if an adequate person I myself tell him about this or advise you to read and understand the essence of the technology itself, and not just look at price fluctuations.
