Title: How to convince a sceptical person to buy Bitcoin ?
Post by: HedgeFx on April 04, 2023, 08:21:27 PM
Although within this community Bitcoin is practically the only currency in which everyone believes, just look around a bit and we will find thousands of people who think otherwise.
At this point I wonder, what reasons should we give these people to make them realise that Bitcoin is a right choice? The first argument that comes to mind to convince a person who is sceptical about Bitcoin, is first of all that with Bitcoin you no longer need to delegate the custody of your money to a third party (banks, mutual funds, etc.): you are the master and you hold them. What else would you add?

Why do you have to do that?
Trying to convince someone over something that the person did not want isn't right most especially when it's all about Bitcoin, don't force anyone to it, just explain to them what the technology is all about and then let them be, there is no point in convincing them that Bitcoin is the right choice, because if any mistake of investment is being made in the near future, you who convince them will be the one to be hold responsible.

Firstly, let's check the meaning of sceptical
Sceptical means: a person that is not easily convince

We all know that "seeing is believing".
No man would want to invest his income on what he is not sure of.
So, while trying to convince someone to buy bitcoin, you must do the following

1)Show the evidence of your own benefit(profit) from bitcoin (i.e - every man would want to invest on something attached with profit)

2)Explain the process in details

3)Assure the person that bitcoin is safe (because no man would want to lose his money)

4)Promise to share regular info regarding every activities of bitcoin

You don't need to force anyone to accept bitcoin adoption or invest in bitcoin. If you try forcing them and they are not giving you listening ears,just leave them alone so that they don't blame you tomorrow if anything happens to their investment, or if the price dump below what they bought, you might become an enemy. Moreover bitcoin knowledge is what one will show interest on before he/she will take it serious,if not you are wasting your time. It is better you do something else with your time instead of trying to make people feel uncomfortable with trying to teach them about bitcoin. A sceptical person will never learn what he doesn't believe in. A open minded person will love to learn something new.

You really don't need to convince anyone to accept bitcoin but if you want to go down that lane then you might consider adding the following: Bitcoin transactions are fast and secure, and can be done without the need for a middleman or intermediary, which can save you time and money in transaction fees. Additionally, Bitcoin is a decentralized currency, which means that it is not subject to the control of any government or financial institution. This makes it a safe-haven asset in times of economic uncertainty or inflation. Furthermore, Bitcoin is a scarce asset, with a limited supply of 21 million coins, which makes it an attractive option for those looking for a store of value or long-term investment.

Just don't.

You don't need to spend your energy on them convincing them that buying bitcoin is the right choice. Let them do all the talk later on after we hit a new all time high.

With that, they'll be the one to approach you again and say that they've missed the opportunity when you've talked to them. And you'll be like, 'okay' and then leave them alone.

Bitcoin isn’t a new product on the shelf we have advertise. To add to what’s already been said, convincing people to invest in bitcoin is a slippery slope, if the person trust you and is convinced to buy bitcoin, you put yourself in a position where you’re now the center of the investment. Bear in mind they will on your neck if there is any problem be it a bearish market or godforbid they lose their private keys, I don’t like to tie myself to other people’s money or give financial advice.

This isn't even true in Bitcoin community, people here own a lot of fiat and use it more often than Bitcoin for their transactions

Why would you want to convince skeptics? It's much easier to convince those who don't yet have a hard opinion on Bitcoin, and then when Bitcoin achieved big enough adoption, many skeptics will flip on their own. But some will remain skeptical no matter what, that's just the reality of life, some people are very stubborn. There are people who don't use Internet and smartphones even today.

First, educate them, if someone showed interest it's a good sign to convince them, it's important to educate skeptical individuals about the benefits and risks of Bitcoin so that they can make an informed decision.  Because if you insist, it might someday when they will fail they will surely blame you in the future.

Let them decide on their own, at least they know already the pros and cons of Bitcoin investment.
Because these kinds of people are usually wasting time because they have an attitude of not easily believing.  Because when dealing with a skeptical person, it's important to listen to their concerns and address them with accurate information.  Be patient and understanding, and avoid being overly pushy or aggressive in trying to convince them.  Respect their decision and not pressure them into investing in something they're not comfortable with.

It's really hard to convince someone though, I mean you can tell them all the benefits, the pros of owning BTC and yet maybe the majority of them are not going to invest. So it's better not to at this point, it's all over the headlines though, by now majority could have heard about it in news and social media and other means. It's really up to this individuals to invest or try it out, if not then we can't do anything about it.

Yes, we wanted to help everyone to get over with the current economic issues that a individual may have been experiencing. But you can't help everyone here and maybe they have their own opinion already on BTC and that they have close their minds on it. So no amount of convincing will change their close mindset.

I am going to go a bit against it and say why bother.
There are people on the edge that you can 'push over' and have them get into BTC
There are people who may or may not be interested in BTC and need to get more knowledge / info that you can convince to invest in and use BTC.

But someone who is skeptical? May not be worth the time & effort.

Just my view.

or we could just let them believe what they want to believe and only talk about Bitcoin to them if they ask or if they are interested and are willing to listen. as satoshi has said before "If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry."

If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

Aside from the fact that you can safely and easily self-custody Bitcoin, it is decentralized. That is the most convincing feature of Bitcoin. It doesn't have the abusive rulers who got all the powers in their hands as far as money is concerned. Bitcoin is ruled by codes that are etched in stone, that can't easily be tweaked in whichever direction the greedy fiat gods think of. The same decentralized feature means it doesn't have a CEO or a president to kill, a headquarters to raid or burn, central server to seize, and so on and so forth, which government agencies are fond of doing to anything in their way.

But if a skeptical person isn't convinced of this, try telling him/her the real situation of fiat and banks and governments and how ludicrous the monetary system actually is. If he/she is still skeptical, it might help mentioning to him/her that the likes of Elon Musk, Ray Dalio, Tim Draper, Jack Dorsey, Robert Kiyosaki, Tim Cook, and many others also own Bitcoin. If he/she isn't convinced of Bitcoin, perhaps these influential personalities, one of which he/she might idolize, have found something.

The world always have different and opposite things: capitalism and communism, Bitcoin and fiat currencies, Bitcoin and alternative cryptocurrencies and more. We will never live in a world where everyone use bitcoin and nobody is against it.

You should not do this at all. If anyone needs your advice, they will ask you and your experience with Bitcoin. You don't have to knock their doors, open their ears and give them your mono lecture about Bitcoin.

The first argument that comes to mind to convince a person who is sceptical about Bitcoin, is first of all that with Bitcoin you no longer need to delegate the custody of your money to a third party (banks, mutual funds, etc.): you are the master and you hold them.
Start with a simple sentence "Not your keys, not your money" and if they are interested in, you can continue.

If they really listen to your first advice above, you can continue to show them real practice with your dummy (throw away) wallet from creating it, making backup and recovering it from backup.

From the beginning until now, there are many people who are skeptical of bitcoin, but the fact is that until now the number of people interested in investing in BTC, in my opinion, has not decreased. In fact, I think that one day the number of people investing in Bitcoin will definitely increase.

so I don't think there is a need to convince people in a hurry because later they will look for it themselves.

The best thing to do how to convince other people is not to force them or not give false hope.
I can say, we need to give them first, advice and caution. As with any investment, it's crucial to urge caution and promote ethical investing. It's critical to emphasize that they should only invest money they can afford to lose because Bitcoin, like any investment, carries risks.

Some of you guys like to talk about the investment side to convince others, with a speech like: bitcoin is good to invest in.
But you're having a misconception about the purpose to create Bitcoin.

The currency hasn't be created to make you "rich" overnight. It was not launched as a quick rich scheme, and for exemple I challenge you to find me a single post from Satoshi saying something like: buy bitcoin! you will be rich!

Investing in Bitcoin and make money.
I can do the same with the traditionnal currencies. I can trade USD, EUR, CHF, GBP... and also make money.
So what?

Huge profits you may argue.
There are traditionnal assets performing higher than Bitcoin.
So what?

No 3rd parties to store your money.
I can do that with gold as well.
So what?

Safe haven.
Seriously? Ask to people who bought BTC at $60,000 what they think about it.
The Swiss franc, bonds, or gold, yes, but Bitcoin?
Even investing in a safe haven may be not a good choice when the stock markets are rising

What about to use Bitcoin for what it was supposed to be? A payment mean and an alternative currency? Hence the name Altcoin.
You should rather use this argument if you want to convince someone, and if the person is not convinced, it's perhaps because he has no needs

I won't do that, there's no reason for me to force or beg someone to invest in bitcoin, it's not in my favor, and they'll even blame me if they lose. You shouldn't try to give someone advice to buy something they don't like, it's not a good idea.

I know you mean to help people because bitcoin really is a once in a lifetime opportunity, if we miss it, we will have to wait a long time for another chance. But people won't think so, what they think is that you are trying to scam them. If they are passionate about bitcoin, instead of explaining it to them, give them the necessary materials to study on their own.

I won't do that, there's no reason for me to force or beg someone to invest in bitcoin,  own.

With these answers it is not clear enough for you, OP? Or do you need a couple dozen more answers.

Not just with Bitcoin, in money matters let people be wrong for themselves. Giving advice or trying to convince someone usually results in if it goes right they won't even thank you and if it goes wrong they will throw it in your face.

Better if you lock the thread.

Not sure about the idea of convincing them, I thought it would be a waste.
Even satoshi in his initial journey only "served" a Hal Finney who started to have faith thanks to only reading bitcoin WP without further explanation. That means, it is easier for someone to believe in bitcoin if he is open to a different point of view and sufficient knowledge.

Before you convince a sceptical person into buying bitcoin, you must first ask the person of their financial goals and find out how much risk they are willing to manage. You have the moral responsibility to tell your friend at as much bitcoin may have the possibility for significant gains over the long term and may be able to protect one's wealth from depreciation by serving as a hedge against inflation, it comes with a lot of risk and should never be taken with kids gloves.

Why you must convince someone to buy Bitcoin? it's their own money, so their own choice, you can't force them to follow your suggestion. They would be happy if you have convince them and you give free Bitcoin or money to them.

Bitcoin isn't the only one choice to grow your wealth, there are many assets out there that they can choose to invest. Talking about decentralization, if they're not care and fine with centralization, why you should change their mindset?

Honestly, I really do not think that it is anyone's obligation to convince others to invest in bitcoins or any other type of crypto currency out there. Not unless it is a person that one really cares about or is family. Now, the only way to convince people that are as how you described them is to show results or the good things you have gotten from bitcoin. By doing this, you will manage to get through their mental barrier and make them at least a bit curious. After that, you can then proceed explaining little by little all the technical or more complicated things. That's how I convinced a few friends.

I would not convince anyone to invest in btc or any other coin but on the other hand would tell them or educate them about the technology behind bitcoin or why it would be in demand in future.Rest the investment decision lies with them soley whether they want to invest or not because trading should be done with your own research not under anyone's influence.

and besides we have no rights in doing such , what we only have to do is let them see the advantage of bitcoin but not to force them in loving this coin.

Why does anyone need to confuse people to buy Bitcoin? Even if they manage to buy Bitcoin they will lose interest as time goes on because they don't even know what Bitcoin is all about, and such people will dump in a very short period of time. New investors need to develop an interest in Bitcoin themselves first before they will be capable of accumulating Bitcoin and decide to hold for a long period, those confused won't be able to do the same because they never had any interest in Bitcoin, they where confused.

Yiu don't need to confuse anyone to invest on Bitcoin, tell them to read about Bitcoin and tell them the advantage of Bitcoin, if they develop interest, fine, if they don't, you lose nothing.

Just tell him about the pros of the Bitcoin ecosystem and how we can use it. I think the best ad for Bitcoin is just its technology. And if the person still doesn't believe in it, then he is missing out A LOT.

So I don't recommend trying to prove something to these people. They will understand it themselves. But it would already be too late to buy.

The appropriate addition of words to tell skeptics in my opinion is "Look at me, I have been successful thanks to bitcoin , I can be financially independent with bitcoin and no other party manages my assets", Doesn't that sound more interesting to the ears of people who skeptical?. My point is you don't need to work hard to convince those who are skeptical about bitcoin at all costs because the first thing they see is your condition as proof of their assessment of what you do, they will only listen to you if you are already financially successful, I'm sure they will listen to you when you are at that point.

I dont think that convincing someone to buy Bitcoin or do something else is a good idea. I think person should not be forced to do something. He must come to conclusion of buying Bitcoin himself. If a person convince someone to buy, then that person must take full responsibility for possible negative outcome.

However, if OP really wants to convince a skeptical person, then he must turn himself into devil and play on human sins. Just use two of them, greed and envy, while trying to convince and you will succeed. Talk more about "missed opportunity", give examples of easy money and it will be enough.

If you try to convince someone of anything, it will already look very suspicious. Just keep enjoying all the benefits of bitcoin and over time people themselves will ask for help with any issues related to cryptocurrency, this will be a clear sign that they are ready to learn something new, this will be the best option.

instead of convincing them to buy bitcoin , better to lure them to like and enter this forum because this has more than to offer them , example : if you will let them learn here? then you are safe from everything to explain because they will gather so much information from here.

it is helping , but there is no need to get involve in blaming once they did not succeed , let them learn and have a lesson to understand.

Tell them that Bitcoin is censorship resistant and decentralised. It's total supply is limited and hence it has a deflationary growth of price making it a good long term investment. Show how it is sent and emphasize on the ease of sending and the lack of paperwork or searching names for that.

Even then you will not be able to recruit every person into bitcoin and you should not try that either. You will end up being blamed for their losses and they will hunt you down. If they show interest on their own, only then guide them.

I don't really like convincing someone about what I have or something I admire. because if it's like that it looks like you are forced to participate in investing in bitcoin, and I have avoided things like that until now.
bitcoin does not need to be proclaimed like that, without any promotion on purpose bitcoin will still be widespread.

I don't think it's a good idea to urge someone to buy bitcoin, because you don't know if they'll be able to hold it for a long time and what if they can't. What if the person spends all of his money on bitcoin? As convincing someone to buy bitcoin is not something I recommend, I recommend that you inform the person in question about bitcoin and how it works. If something goes wrong after you encourage him to do so, you won't be in big danger.

Let people to discover bitcoin at their own rhythm, if they are skeptical about bitcoin let them be, if you try to convince them even if your arguments are solid and they cannot refute them as soon as you give your back to them they will go back to their old beliefs making this whole exercise a waste of time.

Now things would be completely different if they came to you asking you questions about bitcoin and how it works, in that case you could offer them some insights, but that is it, as you do not want to influence their decision to invest in bitcoin or not since that is a decision everyone must take on their own.

Just show them the graph from Bitcoin listed on the market cap until today, if they still don't understand then they're one of many people who lost the opportunity to get the current price since we won't see another price like $1, $10, $100, $1000 anymore. Also we can tell them the pros of cryptocurrencies not only Bitcoin but the other altcoins maybe the will be interested in altcoins rather than Bitcoin.

If you try to convince someone to invest money into something they do not believe in, you will only end up making them even more suspicious and distrustful of you. I would even advise people not to invest in bitcoin let alone give someone advice. Bitcoin is a risky investment, even if we are not sure if we are profitable or not, giving advice to someone is not necessarily a good thing for them. We don't know their situation or what they need and want, so we can't give such arbitrary advice. Not everyone is as willing to take risks as we are.

Yes That can be conveyed and in my opinion conveying that can be accepted by those who have modern thinking even though their age is not like ours.

Convincing people is not easy. If asked to choose a job that makes my whole body hurt when it's finished, maybe I'd choose that job instead of convincing people. lol

For me, to convince people that they understand and are willing to buy Bitcoin, it must depend on the situation and condition of the people we want to convince.
Rest assured, psychologically a person has things that make him comfortable when communicating and so that he is carried away when we interact.
Such a method may be applicable.

Personally, I will never convince people to buy Bitcoin, instead I am willing to explain all the positive and negative effects of being with Bitcoin.

I think educating them is just the thing you can do for them to prevent them from getting scammed by these scammers who are using cryptocurrencies as their props for their Ponzi schemes. As for convincing, you're right is not good to do that because the volatility of the market could make the person lose his temper and put all the blame on you. The best thing you can do is to tell him everything and to make him know that the crypto market is volatile also you need to remove any blame against you by freeing yourself from whatever decision he would make after you explained the necessary information he needs.

Totally agree, education is key.

In the past years I have told countless people about crypto and most of them only knew it from the news in connection to something illegal ( darknet and so on ) or too high speculative investments that go south.

People are not aware that bitcoin and/or crypto actually have a purpose much further than just using it as a payment option.

The question is, how can you actually educate people about the advantages and purposes in an easy way? In the beginning I was very confused about everything and it took me quite a while to understand certain things.

But even today I only know a fraction and still learn something every day.

I know there are still a lot of people that are skeptical about bitcoin but I don't think I need to convince them. For what? A lot of my family members and friends talked to me about bitcoin and crypto as a whole, especially in the past years. I can only explain to them the basics regarding its decentralized manner and its blockchain, I do not have to go further because it is up to them if they were interested to go deeper, the internet is available everywhere. I don't want people to blame me if ever their investments fail. Because whether we like it or not, most of them are only interested in the profit side.

Although within this community Bitcoin is practically the only currency in which everyone believes, just look around a bit and we will find thousands of people who think otherwise.
At this point I wonder, what reasons should we give these people to make them realise that Bitcoin is a right choice? The first argument that comes to mind to convince a person who is sceptical about Bitcoin, is first of all that with Bitcoin you no longer need to delegate the custody of your money to a third party (banks, mutual funds, etc.): you are the master and you hold them. What else would you add?

Don't convince people to do action which is against on their will. You might get accused for doing illegal activities and want to victimized them if you pressure them to do something they don't know.

Better let them discover the whole aspect about crypto and show your own result because skeptical people are result oriented and they want to see if you are earning good with it before it catch their interest to participate on things they discover.

If someone isn't willing to learn something or is dogmatic towards a topic the best you can do is to distance yourself from the person and let them experience the ugly side of the situation because as they say, experience is the best teacher.
And when it comes to financial issues I try as much as possible not to involve myself, imagine forcing or convincing someone who never had the intention of investing in Bitcoin, and as soon as they got in due to you convincing them, the price of Bitcoin dropped drastically. 100% sure that all the blame will be pointed at you.

Just tell them that there's Bitcoin give them resources that will teach them what they need to get started (as they don't need to learn everything) and if they're okay with the concept of Bitcoin let them go ahead and invest in it. This way if anything should happen you'll be confident because they made the decision themselves.

I taught myself everything about bitcoin through the internet, I hardly had any teachers other than google and youtube in the beginning. I think if someone is really passionate about investing in Bitcoin, they won't wait for someone to come and teach them, but they will find a way to find the answer on their own. And for those who don't like it, there's no point in wasting time with them, it's better to spend that time on our investment.

@Ever-young such approach is bad in my opinion. well, I know a lot of people have their opinions but come on, Bitcoin is open-source asset design for public, everyone can take part in Bitcoin but the problem here is that you encounter someone who is schecktical skeptical about Bitcoin, being scheptical skeptical doesn't really mean the person doesn't want but either the person is in doubt if they can profit anything about from the technology, they are in doubt if their funds can really be save with Bitcoin investment and perhaps if you are the guy that is so knowledgeable about Bitcoin, you know how beneficial Bitcoin technology is, and you want the the sceptical guy to enjoy the same benefits of Bitcoin, of cause their is nothing bad trying to really make them understand what the technology is all about and the benefits they can enjoy. IMO, it's not bad to explain to a sceptical person and make them understand better

What else would you add?

OP, if I am in this position to talk to a skeptical person, first I have to educate the person about inflation and how inflation can reduce the purchasing power of bank notes over time and how money can lose value because the central banks can print more money any time they want. Then I will educate the person about the voluminous supply and circulation of bank notes and the limited supply of bitcoin and how bitcoin can attain more value because supply is limited and demand will keep increasing. Going forward, I will talk to the person about the privacy of having a very large amount of money they want to store in Bitcoin without anyone knowing their identity. With these few points and other things I will add, we can be able to change the person's unconvincing state of mind and become convinced.

I wouldn't convince anyone about Bitcoin i mean let them be realize the worth of Bitcoin ill just introduce it to them and the uses of it and let them be decide if they want it or not because i dont see any reasons why should i convince them to jump into Bitcoin and also convincing some one to buy bitcoin leads to person blaming you that they lost their money because it fluctuates.  I would just introduce it than to convince them

I don't agree with the notion of persuading people to invest in Bitcoin, but I can only raise awareness of it and teach those who are interested in learning more about the blockchain. I don't believe I will be able to persuade anyone to invest in Bitcoin in order to benefit from it, though. As you have stated, if things don't work out after those you persuaded to invest doesn't make it, the blame will be surely put on someone. Infact from idea of invest only what you can afford to lose, it is a warning not to force anyone to invest in crypto industry. So let anyone who want to you invest do his/her own research and get convince itself.

My days of trying to convince people to buy Bitcoin are long gone. I may just educate them about Bitcoin, and try to clear up some naive misconceptions they may have against Bitcoin, it's left to them to take or leave it. A person who has chosen to be adamant about a particular cant change his view however hard you try. They're just like flat earthers. No matter the reasons and facts you give to show that the earth is not flat won't change their view of the earth.
Another reason I don't "convince people about Bitcoin is that they may get the wrong idea and see it as a get-rich-quick scheme then I'll get blamed when this doesn't happen. To them, I have become a fraud.

If I understood @Ever-young very well, her statement seems like a safety procedure, and I see nothing wrong with that.
Being skeptical, like you said, is when one has interest but doesn't understand the technology, but from the OP's statement, it's clearly stated that the said person doesn't have interest in Bitcoin and at the same time wants a suggestion on how to convince the user to make Bitcoin their choice of investment, which is the worst mistake anyone can make because convincing someone who doesn't have interest in something is like forcing the person into that.

Just like @Ever-young has said, the best thing to do in this kind of case is to educate the person on how bitcoin works, its benefits, and also its disadvantages. That's the only thing I believe you need to do. After that, the user will be the one to make his or her choice as to whether or not he should make Bitcoin a means of investment or not. By so doing, both you, the OP, and the person in question won't have any issues in the near future.

Yes, you are absolutely right that currently there are still many people who are skeptical of Bitcoin. And I think that's a natural thing and it's not a big problem, Bitcoin is still relatively young and new to be accepted by everyone. Those who are still in doubt, of course, because they have their own reasons to be skeptical of Bitcoin.
In my opinion, with advances in technology in this digital era, they will definitely continue to read and find out for themselves and I'm sure most of them already know what Bitcoin is. On the internet or in various articles and social media content, many have explained in detail about all aspects of understanding, how to own, the advantages and even the risks involved in Bitcoin.
But when it comes to when they want to decide to take advantage of Bitcoin and when they will try to start investing or adopting Bitcoin, it's all up to each individual.
I don't think we need to force them to invest or adopt Bitcoin, I think we just have to continue to spread the word about Bitcoin as it is according to our abilities and knowledge. And help to introduce and provide further explanation to those who are already open and already want to try investing or adopting Bitcoin.

I'm not scared of being accused of doing something illegal when I know it's not illegal, but that doesn't mean I'd do what OP is asking about. You're not a guru, you're not promising them returns. If they lose money they can't do anything to you legally, but ethically you're at fault.

Convincing someone to buy bitcoin is indirectly taking responsibility for that person's investment. It's one thing to tell that person about bitcoin and give them a choice and another thing to try to change a mind of a skeptic.

Self-discovery. You can give all the tomes and the knowledge acailable on the intenet about bitcoin to a skeptical person but they will never accept your idea for theirs. They must realize it personally otherwise it just wouldn't sit well with them. I've had a few firneds back in the day who were very skeptical about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, for good reason anyway, since this was during the time when MLM and Ponzi Scams run rampant in our country. In any case, what I did with some I find hope in persuading is I gave them a little bitcoin to play around with, made them trust the project by letting them learn the ropes first-hand without the risk of losing their own money. If they find it enjoyable/profitable, they have the liberty to choose to invest using their own money. If they don't it's fine.

Sometimes these people just needs a little push to do what they really want. Keep that in mind OP

There is no need to force bitcoin skeptics to accept it.
I think the conditions when they accept can only be based on themselves because this goes back to basic principles.
Even if we convince by continuing to talk and provide facts that already exist, if they don't have a broad view everything will return to the final result where they will always be skeptical.
There is no need to convince anything to make it seem like this is the right choice, when they are aware and want to find out for themselves everything can be answered without us having to provide various words to explain that bitcoin is something that is feasible.

I don't need to do that to convince a skeptical person to buy Bitcoin. Awareness about Bitcoin can be created but there is no such thing as we have to convincing people to invest in Bitcoin. It's better to leave the investment entirely up to the individual, you can promote the positive aspects of Bitcoin to increase awareness, then it's up to them to invest or not to invest.
You can tell him about these positive aspects like,
  • Day by day increasing usages and potential future
  • Limited supply
  • Good profit return
  • Safe from other traditional systems..
  • Has the peer-to-peer(Decentralised) system in all over the world .......and more and more etc

You don't have to do that. Convincing someone to invest on bitcoin is dangerous and risky because if the person loss his money in the investment you are to hold responsible and repay the lost for the person because because might even tag you has a scam who lured him to invest and collect the money the back door. If the money is big the person might sued you in the court of law. So to avoid that you should not convinced anyone to invest on bitcoin but you can only give them the awareness which is what is bitcoin so that they will know the basics of bitcoin and later invest on their own.

It can be challenging to convince someone who is skeptical about the future of Bitcoin. Despite their familiarity with Bitcoin, they remain doubtful about its long-term prospects. Attempting to sway their opinion can be difficult, but providing them with a historical perspective on Bitcoin's price movements and technical aspects may help. However, it's essential not to invest an excessive amount of time or effort into persuading them. Alternatively, you could introduce Bitcoin to new individuals as a means of adoption.

Don't try to force anyone into buying bitcoin, this should come from them. By all means argue with them, change their mind about it, make sure the person is well informed and does not go around repeating lies learned from the mainstream media to their friends and relatives, but don't make them buy anything.
Plant a seed, make them doubt what the media is feeding them. If they're smart they'll start doing research, thinking about what you've said, they'll stop taking information as is. This will already be your personal success. Education, awareness, these are the important things.

All sorts of things.  I think in large part I'd also point out how different bitcoin is from most other cryptocurrency coins that came after it, and why it's better than them.  I think the main thing I would discuss is what you brought up, not needing a bank.  The other thing I would mention is it can't be stopped by governments.  A lot of people are still under that assumption and I think explaining how this isn't true is a good way to help others understand.

Agree on this one.

This is i dont like whenever i do make out some introduction or recommendation into other people is that i do have a bitter experience when someone do get blame me
on their losses of their investment and its not something that i could really forget on.

This is why it would be better if they would learn on their own and make out decisions on their own.Just give them about those links for learning up the basics.

Usage of Bitcoin isn't illegal; thus, it's unlikely that he'd be accused of that. However, it's impossible to convince someone who's unwilling to listen and, more importantly, who simply isn't interested in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. It doesn't necessarily appeal to everyone; some praise it and some don't. Would you convince someone to like you? No, because it's pointless. Even if you actually manage to convince someone to purchase Bitcoin, there's a high chance of being blamed if money is lost on their end.

I would not convince anyone to invest in btc or any other coin but on the other hand would tell them or educate them about the technology behind bitcoin or why it would be in demand in future.Rest the investment decision lies with them soley whether they want to invest or not because trading should be done with your own research not under anyone's influence.

I agree with your opinion, and indeed the most important thing is to explain to the people we go to about bitcoin with the aim that they understand and if they invest and suffer losses of course so they don't blame us when they experience a loss investing in btc,

and indeed everyone's trading strategy has a different technique.

we focus on ourselves, as long as what we do is positive for ourselves.

You could grab any inflation chart of just about any currency in the world and point to the systematic reduction in spending power if you wanted to convince a person why Bitcoin might be a prudent investment. Bitcoin's outpaced any other asset for investment purposes over the years but its main utility is as a currency -- that'd be my pitch, at least.

People seem to be surprised when you put inflation into perspective and translate it into real world consumer good price increases. They seemingly are also unaware that it's any centralized currency will be designed to inflate at some degree by the central banks to promote circulation. It wouldn't be so bad if the currency inflation rate was locked in by design, but it's not, so that means instability.

That's so true and been there, done that.

When there's money, they'll also be there and believe me that they'll make it look like that they're the most enthusiastic person in the world when they've seen the market is on its shape again during the next bull run.

But it's up to you whether you'll entertain them or not because what matters to you won't matter to them and vice versa. It's the genuine interest that we're wanting to see from these people and that's why I'm exhausted talking with those type of people.

Absolutely supervb that is the best solution for them because most people were attracted toward anything when they saw profit in them, today they will ignore you because Bitcoin is dumped and no one gets big profit but later whenever bull season will start and Bitcoin hit its previous all-time high and make new all-time high this will be the time when they will regret their mistakes which they have done in past because everyone who bought Bitcoin in dump already got thousand of dollar profit, but there will be nothing for them who lose that  because the opportunity has gone.
That's so true and been there, done that.

But it's up to you whether you'll entertain them or not because what matters to you won't matter to them and vice versa. It's the genuine interest that we're wanting to see from these people and that's why I'm exhausted talking with those type of people.
We arent here to entertain them or really obliging ourselves to tell them the opportunity on where this cryptocurrency market could give or just simply speaking or talking about Bitcoin.Just like the rest above when speaking up something about Bitcoin into those person who doesnt really have much idea or zero knowledge on crypto then hesitation would really be there. Some people are really that open minded but there are some who do really make out conclusions without  even trying to know on whats the real deal. They do really have those argumentations which is something that you would be needing to correct
and clarity it out.If they would continue to argue then its better to leave and end up the discussion.

Spreading negative thoughts on bitcoin and poisoning the mindsets of others who have the urged to invest in it. It's a terrible idea to surfing out to present bitcoin to people in a totally different view of the way it is, more like compromising the ranking of Bitcoin in the space and also the market. Procrastinating Bitcoin because it's really in a dump position is something I'll not involved actively in the discussion. Bitcoin have helped investors in the past specifically when it makes a bull run to the moon, even those that were doubting the project was eager enough to invest in bitcoin.

It is very simple to convince such a Sceptical and novice person on cryptocurrency all you have to do is to show him/her your achievement through bitcoin and if possible show the person some practical things by showing the person your wallet balance and type the figure in your wallet in binance or any other exchange and show him the bitcoin in Fiat amount. You can even send a small amount of unit to to an exchange and sell it of in his parent for the person to confirm that what you are telling him is trustworthy. These are some the ways to inform the novice.

Convincing a skeptic to buy bitcoin can be a difficult task as bitcoin is a new and relatively unknown technology that can cause fear and doubt. However, if you have the desire to try and use bitcoin, then you can try to convince the skeptic in the following way:
1.Explain how bitcoin works and why it can be useful. Tell us about its security, transparency and decentralization, as well as how it can help avoid problems with traditional financial instruments.
2.Show which companies and organizations are already accepting bitcoin as payment, and talk about the rise in popularity of bitcoin among people.
3.Invite the skeptic to do a little experiment by buying a small amount of bitcoin and using it to buy goods or services. This will allow them to see how the technology works and understand its potential value.

I think we're just done being optimistic about the potential of bitcoin. Because if you've been there before and you're overly telling them how great bitcoin is, and the feedback that they've given isn't the reciprocate that you're expecting, that's just disappointing.

Those that are even making conclusions even if they're not legitimate investors and never experienced the murder of the market and also being fruitful, they're all talk and are just speaking what they like to say because they like to see people being scared of what they're happy to discuss with.

I don’t think convincing skeptical people is the right choice. They will always have their last say no matter how you educate them. So let them have their own decision. Because if we keep on pursuing them to believe us, they will end up blaming us when things did not work well with bitcoin. Bitcoin is a good currency and a good investment as well, but sad to say only few have realized it. The rest are still skeptical until now, and we can’t do nothing about it. Just let them see what we have got with bitcoin, eventually they will realize that bitcoin is legit and success comes only to those who believe in it.

The Bitcoin skeptic, in my opinion, can be convinced by the following arguments:

Bitcoin, unlike fiat currencies, is a deflationary financial asset.  There can be no more than 21,000,000 coins in the world (in reality, less, since some of the coins have not yet been mined by miners, and some are lost and permanently withdrawn from circulation).  Therefore, based on this, the price of bitcoin will increase over time. 

Bitcoin is a decentralized asset.  Bitcoin cannot be subject to international economic sanctions.  The first cryptocurrency is very convenient for cross-border payments. 

Bitcoin in the future may become an international reserve currency and a protocol for transferring value in the virtual space.

to be honest i don't have time to convince people to buy bitcoin. as we all know that time will tell what will happen in the future, and since it is that way, let them realize it themselves instead of you desperately convincing them to buy. it only makes them more doubtful and despise bitcoin than letting them believe what they believe and will end up regretting. as i've said that i didn't have time to convince people, it's not that i don't have time about bitcoin itself but what i mean is i didn't have time dealing with people if ever something happens like they lost money in the process of investing. for me that is more annoying than explaining what bitcoin is.

whether they will regret it in the end or not, at the very least they believe what they wanted to believe and i didn't interfere or looked desperate enough to be accused as a scammer for actively convincing them. nowadays it would be a lie if most of the people using internet are not aware of crypto, for sure even if 70% knows about crypto and chose to be more skeptical, it is already their choice not ours.

Bitcoin is for everyone, but not everyone wants Bitcoin.

A sceptical person will always be a scepical person especially when it comes to investing. A person who don't have any experiences when it comes to investing will be sceptical into it. TBH, I will only spend my time teaching Bitcoin into a person whose interested in learning it, and not to a person who thinks that Bitcoin is a bad thing, or a bad investment whatsoever.

Convincing people to invest into Bitcoin is almost the same as those people in the mall who are convincing the mallgoers to buy their product or insurance. If they really like the product, they will be interested into it, and it's the same with Bitcoin. If a person really wants to learn Bitcoin, they will be the ones who will urge you to teach them. They will be the ones who will do the initiative, do some researches, and find ways to learn it.

I introduced Bitcoin before in family and some friends but ended up being blame whenever the price went down as if they wanted me to tell them everything they should do when the price pump or dump they seems to be so depended that they don't take time to study it.

There’s nothing to prove to any skeptical person as he/she will never agree and has its own criticism at the end of the day. That’s why I never dare to convince people about bitcoin from the very start. If they are interested with bitcoin, I know they’ll find a way how to educate theirselves but if they don’t want to engage with bitcoin, they’ll always have their reasons why they don’t believe in it.

The fact that people buy or own bitcoin for various reasons makes it difficult to convince someone that really isnt into cryprocurrencies in the first place, but if someone is into investments,  trading, gambling,a bit of some darkweb sh*t i this should be the kind of person that will take interest in crypto coins like bitcoin.

But for a skeptical person like you say,they are more likely not to jump in easily but they are likely to believe  it if someone besides them to the lead and showed the best side of bitcoin.

But, for the sense of discussion, I think showing our achievements in using Bitcoin is one good proof to convince other people to get involved in Bitcoin industry.  If we don't have anything in ourselves to prove these people that engaging in Bitcoin is profitable, then better forget convincing them.

there's no need to convince others to go into bitcoin. they have their own time when they want to explore this market. if they feel they are oblige to get into this market, who would explain to them why they got lost their funds during the trading? better if it is their own accord why they are going into this so they know the risks involve. if they know what they are going into, you can't be blamed if they incur losses.

As majority of the users mentioned it is not necessary to convince anyone to be part of bitcoin. What a bitcoiner can do, he/she can just introduce about bitcoin and available cryptocurrencies in the market. Rest is their choice whether they prefer to use it or not. Just on our suggestion if someone is entering the market and if the person experience loss due to his activities, then this would surely be a problem. In particular if there's good relationship the same gets broken. So, just introduce and leave it for them to learn of their own.

that only means they are already aware of the existence of bitcoin and the possibilities that they will earn, but they are skeptical because it is more like gambling that is most likely a scam due to its high volatility that anytime they can lose money in a blink of an eye. i have to agree with you that there are people who will ask you this questions just to provoke debates, and it's no different from people bringing microphones on the streets spreading why their god is better than someone's god. this is why i've also said above that let them believe what they want to believe, since nobody knows what the future looked like, either both of us win or benefited to what we believe or even lost, there's no blaming going to happen.

You're totally right about being in control of your money with Bitcoin. Show them examples and real life event where their fiat money was confiscated or were people weren't given access to their own money for a period of time. To convince them, I'd also mention its potential for long-term growth, how more businesses are accepting crypto payments and how it is going towards mainstream adoption. But don't forget to tell them about the importance of keeping their coins safe too! They need to learn about wallet security and backups. You don't want them to end up blaming you for the money they lost!

Indeed, it is not necessary to convince people to buy a good product, because the imposition is usually carried out by scammers of one kind or another. As a result, those who are not yet familiar with bitcoin will form a negative attitude. And if they see from other people's examples that bitcoin is a very profitable and convenient tool, they themselves will begin to study and use it, having received all the possible advantages.

You don't need to explain or give more advice to bitcoin skeptics. You just need to give the results you get when you invest in bitcoin, they will automatically believe you. And if you have not been successful with bitcoin, no matter how you explain it, they will never believe you.

One of the best ways to convince someone about BTC or any other popular cryptocurrencies for that matter is by explaining to them the earning opportunities possible by investing in them.

Their extreme volatility gives rise to a plethora of earning opportunities on a regular basis, but this strategy could backfire too which is why they should always invest only what they are willing to lose.

This is the number one use-case for these cryptocurrencies if you ask me.

Bitcoin is a currency that is important to everyone all over the world, but there are some people who have no faith in Bitcoin even they consider Bitcoin as worthless base. I am usually far away from them and I can't find a way to convince them. Yes but if you convince people who have little knowledge about Bitcoin about Bitcoin then they get informed about the importance of Bitcoin and subsequently show special interest in Bitcoin. I went to educate about the importance of bitcoin among many bitcoin haters but they threatened me about this forbidden connection instead. They also said Bitcoin is totally illegal in our country so they don't care about this illegal thing. So I didn't want to explain the importance of Bitcoin to those people afterwards.

If you're trying to convince a sceptical person to buy Bitcoin, it's important to understand their reservations and address them specifically. Some common concerns include the perceived volatility and security of Bitcoin. To address volatility, you can explain that like any investment, Bitcoin may experience fluctuations in price but has shown long-term growth potential. For security concerns, highlight the blockchain technology behind Bitcoin that makes it resistant to fraud and hacking.

Additionally, point out that Bitcoin has been gaining acceptance from major companies and investors, and its limited supply and increasing demand make it a valuable asset. Finally emphasize that Bitcoin offers financial autonomy and privacy, as it operates outside of traditional financial institutions and allows for pseudonymous transactions.

The key to success is having a humanist, well-informed and balanced approach that addresses concerns while highlighting the benefits of Bitcoin is the best way to convince skeptics to consider buying it.

Bitcoin is free currency in perspective of its acquisition. Anyone who’s holding the keys is owner here! What else they really need to know about it?

If they can’t even understand what it means then I’m sure they really want to be around bitcoin. Plus many of them are keeping it away because they think government is against it so it could be issue in long term. Anyways, just keep it that away.

Even if you tell him everything about bitcoin, as long as he’s doubtful and skeptical about the legitimacy of bitcoin, he will always stick to what he often believes. So it’s better to leave him that way and let’s see if he won’t change his mind in the future if majority of the people are already using bitcoin. But I doubt if it will happen, unless the government has legally adopted bitcoin as a currency.

I’d show them a bitcoin price chart since 2009 & educate them on the block reward halvings every 4 years, tell them about scarcity, demand & pretty much just over time NGU (number go up).

If that’s not enough for them then let me quote the man himself -

In this case, it would further confirm his unwillingness to buy Bitcoin, since the chart would show that he missed the opportunity to buy BTC at the lowest price. It was in those first years since the creation of Bitcoin, its price increased very quickly, reaching 1000% per year. In recent years, we have seen large corrections in the price of BTC, and those who purchased bitcoin two years earlier still bear an unrealized loss.

The most important thing to use to convince someone to buy BTC, is to show them some evidence that will make them feel that BTC is real  because I have encounter so many people that vow never to be part of BTC in the society but I just send them some links concerning some country that made BTC legal in their countries and what their citizens have achieved so far. I was so surprised when I saw all those guys few years later to hear a good news from them, that the links I send to them really made them to believe, and since then they begin to invest in BTC that changed their life completely. Never you force anybody to buy BTC but just advise them to buy BTC and they will see good result when the price increase higher.

I would talk about the borderless trait of Bitcoin, which allows its adopters to transact with the entire world in a decentralized way on the comfort of their houses. Bitcoin is a powerful tool for virtual workers who are paid by foreigner employers to maximize their earnings and to skip banks' participation on the process.

For the average citizen who uses internet solely for entertainment purposes this argument may not make much effect, though, but I'm not too worried about it, because for this kind of person there won't be any arguments to convince them to adopt Bitcoin, because they live inside what some call Matrix. That is, they aren't able to open their minds to new concepts such as Bitcoin.

Although within this community Bitcoin is practically the only currency in which everyone believes, just look around a bit and we will find thousands of people who think otherwise.
At this point I wonder, what reasons should we give these people to make them realise that Bitcoin is a right choice? The first argument that comes to mind to convince a person who is sceptical about Bitcoin, is first of all that with Bitcoin you no longer need to delegate the custody of your money to a third party (banks, mutual funds, etc.): you are the master and you hold them. What else would you add?

Honestly, I don't want to talk or argue about bitcoin with skeptics. It makes me feel like I'm wasting my time without benefit. I used to want to spread bitcoin to my loved ones because I knew it would bring them so many benefits. But the results I received were just outright rejections, some even said I scammed them. Since then, I don't want to waste time on such people. I think the best thing to get them out of doubt about bitcoin is that you need to demonstrate the benefits you get from investing in bitcoin. The result is something they won't be able to argue with.

It might be a waste of time if we explain at length about the advantages and truths of bitcoin to people who are personally not too willing to invest in it, however much we convince them and explain in as much detail as possible to them, but usually people like that will also be looking a thousand reasons to ignore our explanation, there is no need to force anyone else to invest in bitcoin because if that person really intended then I think he would have done it even without us explaining it.

It's a bit hard to convince a person of positive things in crypto currencies without knowing anything about him. If it's a stranger why even bother trying to convince him to invest his money into bitcoins? We don't need the whole world to hold bitcoins, it's fine if only some people actually use it. I assume it's a friend of yours and you would like him to invest in bitcoins as well, which is nice of you to help your friend. Bitcoin has a lot of positive features that we should list as pro arguments for cryptos, being independent from the financial industry and governments probably the most important one. When talking to your friend you should find out why he is so sceptical in general about bitcoins and what is the main concern he has about them. It makes it easier to find counter arguments directly for his concerns. I would expect he has some security issues as bitcoins are not physically in his wallet when he buys them. If you tell him about all the different types of wallets and that the security is his hands he should be relieved.

What I would do is probably explain to that person the potential of high returns in buying bitcoin, with the market history that bitcoin has, it's not that hard to see that the potential is there. If they're concerned about the legality then tell them that they don't have to worry because it's already being regulated in a lot of countries. There are other things that you can do but right now, I think that you need to ease them up before anything else, answer their burning questions to put them at ease and make them reconsider. Ultimately, you're just providing them your view and clearing the air, the decision should still be up to them.

Convincing a skeptical person to buy Bitcoin can be challenging, as they may have concerns about its reliability, security, and potential for financial loss. However, you can still bring up some points that may help you persuade them. like telling the person fundamental of bitcoin, suggesting to the person to start small and trying to address his or her concern.

I don't really like convincing someone about what I have or something I admire. because if it's like that it looks like you are forced to participate in investing in bitcoin, and I have avoided things like that until now.
bitcoin does not need to be proclaimed like that, without any promotion on purpose bitcoin will still be widespread.
Same here because for me it's only an added obligation plus we don't know the consequences of doing this. What if these people did something wrong but choose to blame us instead? We will end up using our Bitcoins in no time to compensate them. I think I will only lend them a help if they are the ones who approach me but first I will give them a disclaimer that they must accept the risk and they won't blame me if something bad happened to them. When we talk about Bitcoin, it does not automatically mean to invest with it because there are still other uses of Bitcoin.

No one is forced to invest in Bitcoin but people are willingly doing it because they already figured out that Bitcoins price can rise into a higher level. Without promotions, BTC adoption can still grow but it will only be in a slower rate. It's fine for me but I don't know about the others.

For me, there’s no need to convince a person that is showing skeptical to bitcoin. At the end of the day, he will only believe his own words, and not from a bitcoin enthusiast. So it would be a waste of time if I pursue on that, I would rather educate those who show eagerness to learn than to convince people who are mostly not open minded especially in an innovation like bitcoin. Let him be a devotee of fiat, let’s see if he will stick to it when most of the people are already successful with bitcoin.

First of all, why would you be convincing people to invest in Bitcoin? Allow them to have the initiative to do so. We are all taking the risk in this industry given that there's no certainty of what will happen to this market for the next days, months, or years. Convincing ain't my thing; you'd be blame from doing so once they fell to something which would yield to a negative outcome.

Next is, a sceptical individual doubts everything unless proven. Validity and feasibility of something will be questioned and just imagine how much time you will need to make them buy something; they'd more likely have huge assumption if you ever managed to get through them. Keep in mind how hard it is to endure market price downfalls. If you know to yourself that the individual you are trying to convince won't be patient and won't be capable of financial endurance, then consider not pushing them in this industry just to safezone them from regrets.

I quite agree with this, especially for people who are skeptical of bitcoin, convincing them that it will only be a condition where we will only be tired of giving facts but will never be considered.
The conditions will not change because when we already have skepticism about something, we certainly will never accept conditions where the data and facts exist because indeed we are only focused on bad prejudice. Likewise for those who really don't like bitcoin, no matter how hard we explain and create a good image of bitcoin, they still won't accept it because their prejudice will clearly outweigh their attitude of acceptance.

Well, for me, I wont try to convince a skeptical person to believe or invest in bitcoin, bitcoin has succeeded and will gain massive adoption in its due time, with or without them, so trying to convince a skeptical person is not really worth my time and efforts.

And besides, Doing this is even risking the reputation/respect they have for you, imagine convincing someone who really do not want to invest or buy bitcoin to do so, and after a couple of days or weeks, something happens and this causes bitcoin to lose alot of its usd value, you will definitely become a bad friend or family member to such a person, as they will get to blame you for their supposed loss, this is one of the kinds of stress I don't want in my life.

I also think it is a waste of time to convince people when they are not interested but in they are skeptical, I think there is a chance since they are half hearted, 50% want to and 50% don't want to.  I believe the best tool to convince them is by providing personal testimonies and proof of success.

This can be solved by thoroughly educating them and making them know that all faults and failure is done by the person's decision and has nothing to do with you.  Also, educating him on the possible risk and problems that may encounter when diving into Bitcoin investment.  Also,  giving them the solution to the possible problem can help a lot in preserving the reputation and respect of the convincing person.

Stock market and similar can only be traded in certain hours of the day, Monday to Friday. That sounds archaic to me, Bitcoin can be traded 24/7 as you would expect in the Internet era.

Bank transfers are slow, particularly international ones. In an Internet connected world, there shouldn't be country barriers. Moving money from one country to another is expensive and requires you to wait "X business days". With Bitcoin you can transfer money anywhere in the world, and you can do it on the weekend, on holidays, any time.

Sometimes your bank doesn't allow you to use your own money. You went for holidays and didn't tell your bank? they can freeze your account for "your safety". Now you are in a foreign land without access to your own money. Bitcoin is always yours, you never need to ask permission to use your own money with Bitcoin.

And so many other things, for example inflation. If you keep your money in your bank account it slowly (or sometimes not that slowly) loses its value over time. With Bitcoin it actually increases its value over time.

There are several other reasons why Bitcoin can be a good investment and a sound financial choice. i.e., Decentralization, Transparency, Security, Limited supply (As there will only ever be 21 million Bitcoins in existence, which means that it is a scarce asset), and Low transaction fees. Overall, these are just a few of the reasons why Bitcoin can be an excellent financial choice.

And everyone already knows this so much that it has become a commonplace. Those who are still afraid to start using bitcoin will not be convinced by ordinary words, their meaning needs to be explained. And in no case do not push. If a person sees the advantage of using bitcoins, then he himself will start using them, and if he does not understand, he will lose and then blame those who put pressure on him.

So to make people who hate bitcoin become happy, it is very difficult, because most of the bitcoin supporters from the start really liked the system and how bitcoin works. so it must be very difficult to make people who do not like bitcoin to like bitcoin.

Obviously, I'm not in line with convincing someone to invest into Bitcoin, but would let the person get to knowing what Bitcoin is all about and I will leave them to take their decision to invest, hence whatsoever thing that happens to the invested funds on the process, basically if the investment goes not, you will be the first to get the blame, because people likey blame people when they do not succeed and forgets people that helped them succeed.

I've come across some people who don't believe in the long term potential of bitcoin. One of the assumptions they make about bitcoin is that it's just a money game that will eventually turn out to be a scam. Someone set up bitcoin and its network to make it valuable, some kind of giant ponzi scheme. I know you all will disagree with their assumptions, it happened to me too. Obviously I know their assumption is wrong, but they stick with it even though I've explained how it works.

About them, I just don't bother to make them understand and acknowledge what the truth is, it's just a waste of time. Neither of us need to force someone to believe in bitcoin when they don't like it, so better leave some people like that and move on with others.

Yes, the best way to convince the sceptical people about bitcoin is to allow them be and let them see the results and hear the testimony on their own. A sceptical person may believe that you have something to gain by trying to convince them to buy bitcoins, leaving them without over stressing them to join will show that you only had their interest at heart and nothing to gain. If a sceptical person forcefully starts using bitcoins because of you, they will blame at every opportunity.

I totally agree with these, sceptical persons on bitcoin investing will always found arguments just to make them don't go forward with the decision of investing into it. The only thing that we can do is just educate them with your first hand experience and let them know all the advantages and disadvantages of investing into it. They should first know what they are entering to. So that, the final decision would be coming from them, and we have no way and any rights to force them to buy when it's against their understanding and assessment. It is their money to invest so they have all the right to be sceptical, so you don't have to suggest right away a decision to invest, just present all the positive and negative facts about it. It is really a tough decision when money is involved since it may be part of your hard earned money so we all should be cautious on every decision that we do and always do your own analysis based on different information regarding it.

I believe convincing a skeptical person isn’t worth of our time because no matter what we say or how we educate them, they will never believe unless it will be visible with their own eyes. And no matter how we will explain bitcoin to them, at the end of the day, they will still criticize it in a negative way. That’s why convincing isn’t my thing too. If they want it, they will surely make an effort to research about it and then take risk after once they are convinced with its potentials.

Not really worth of our time and also its not really that something that you could really be able to convince them up and instead on focusing into other things, you would be
diverting out your attention into something which it isnt really that important unless if there's someone who do get interested and curious about it then i might consider
on making up some explanation but of course i would be saying up about those basic examples and ideas on what it is and something that would be easy to understand.
Convincing is hard because on the time that they would be losing money or investment then they would really be mainly be blaming you.

I think the greatest way to let a skeptical person invest in Bitcoin is through your lifestyle especially if you're already doing well in tye Field before inviting the person..
People believe more in the things they see and not what they are told except you are ready to be held responsible just incase things don't go as planned.

It's not usually easy to get to convince people to accept new things especially with regards to especially those ones that might seem complicated like Bitcoin and has no guaranty but rather has more risk of losing money.
Since you already mention doing your own research, also show them proves of what you've ever told me.

I think what you said is right, indeed Bitcoin has the advantage of being fully decentralized or not affected by third parties such as banks.
Even though Bitcoin has been around for more than 14 years and consistently shows its existence, in fact other people still don't believe or won't be able to just believe in things that are new to them like Bitcoin.
What's more, we only introduce Bitcoin to them only through our arguments without any proof of what we have gotten from our activities while using Bitcoin, it will not be able to convince them.
There are many factors that affect them not being able to believe in Bitcoin. Like the negative issue of Bitcoin it's a ponzi scheme or fraud or Bitcoin seems something complicated to understand for people who don't understand technological developments, and maybe there are many other reasons related to the high risk that exists when using Bitcoin.

Sometimes some ordinary people still think Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme or fraud and some people will see that Bitcoin still looks very exclusive because most of them feel they do not have the ability or basic knowledge of technology to own Bitcoin.
If we want to tell people who are still skeptical about Bitcoin, it won't be easy, it will require a process and time and there must be real evidence of what benefits we get so they understand and believe.
I say this because maybe subconsciously all of us here used to be people who didn't really care about Bitcoin before, right?
But in the end, we have our own reasons for trying to enter the cryptocurrency world and trying to get to know and invest in Bitcoin.
I think as time goes by eventually everyone will try to take advantage of Bitcoin, we just need to continue to spread our knowledge about Bitcoin and focus on proving our success in Bitcoin, then naturally other people will be interested.

Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency surviving more then a decade. Because of the survival tendencies, many people hold their assets in bitcoin till now. Now the price of bitcoin had increased again with the completion of first quarter of the year, So expect the price of bitcoin will increase to 32k dollars in a upcoming months. If you want to convince him, you have to show them the total history of bitcoin since 2013. Bitcoin is all time needed crypto currency due to the survival potential. Say him, if they want to save any assets for their children ask to save assets in crypto currency. Ask them to save in bitcoin if possible to get huge profits in long run. They should not think about the short run profits.

Teaching Bitcoin to a skeptical person puts you in a lot of danger. So you stay in your place without teaching the skeptic about Bitcoin. When that person comes to you to learn about Bitcoin on their own, you will be the one to explain Bitcoin to them, and you will be in more danger by explaining it to them. Especially I always stay away from such person. I will only teach him about Bitcoin if he shows interest in me. If I had to teach such a person about Bitcoin, I would show him all the activities of Bitcoin. And I will completely cure any doubts he may have about Bitcoin.

Honestly many people do not understand bitcoin enough to trust their money into this system. Still everyone should know for themselves.

This is the safest method to promote bitcoins and to avoid the blames of the people once the market is currently experiencing volatility which most of the newbies panic when they see it. The only thing you can help them with is to share with them some knowledge you have learned these past few years from this community especially how to prevent themselves from getting scammed from these multiple tactics by crooks and scammers with their Ponzi Schemes. Other than that is up to them to decide because it's really hard to even for ourselves when it comes to investment, especially with money.

I totally agree with these, sceptical persons on bitcoin investing will always found arguments just to make them don't go forward with the decision of investing into it. The only thing that we can do is just educate them with your first hand experience and let them know all the advantages and disadvantages of investing into it. They should first know what they are entering to. So that, the final decision would be coming from them, and we have no way and any rights to force them to buy when it's against their understanding and assessment. It is their money to invest so they have all the right to be sceptical, so you don't have to suggest right away a decision to invest, just present all the positive and negative facts about it. It is really a tough decision when money is involved since it may be part of your hard earned money so we all should be cautious on every decision that we do and always do your own analysis based on different information regarding it.

I just do not get the reason as why we need to convince a sceptical person to buy bitcoin when he do not have any willingness to buy bitcoin. I would never force a sceptical person to get into bitcoin on my advice. The simple reason being that if he will invest in Bitcoin on my advice and if bitcoin is dumped after his purchase he will be after me that i am responsible for his loss or his portfolio is down only because of me.

Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency surviving more then a decade. Because of the survival tendencies, many people hold their assets in bitcoin till now. Now the price of bitcoin had increased again with the completion of first quarter of the year, So expect the price of bitcoin will increase to 32k dollars in a upcoming months. If you want to convince him, you have to show them the total history of bitcoin since 2013. Bitcoin is all time needed crypto currency due to the survival potential. Say him, if they want to save any assets for their children ask to save assets in crypto currency. Ask them to save in bitcoin if possible to get huge profits in long run.

Even earlier than 2013. The beginning of Bitcoin is quite relevant, because it's different than pretty much anything else.

There was no pre-mining, everything was done just right, and it had no value initially. It grew organically, it's a bit of a miracle that it actually worked initially. Now it's not going anywhere, but in those early stages it was very fragile.

Knowing the early story of Bitcoin allows you to understand it in a more profound way. There's way more than just the price.

Well the most people I know have heard of Bitcoin but they do not know how to even get some. There are some people who are good with investing who tell me 'who owns Bitcoin' and 'what if I lose it'?
Still confusing for lots of people. To convince I talk about things that do matter for most people, that is money. To make money with buying Bitcoin since it is lower now before we see all time high again. If a skeptical person buys now this person will have double the profits when we see all time time again.  This is best way for me to explain it to a new person I want to convince.

If a person does not understand the basic principles of bitcoin, there is a high probability that he will not earn, but will lose on the next bearish market trend. In order not to lose, you need to understand "who owns bitcoin", and why it has value, and what are the prospects for its development and adoption. Therefore, it is more important to convey truthful and accurate information about bitcoin to a person than to encourage him to invest in bitcoin. If a person understands the main thing about bitcoin, over time he himself will be able to make the right decision.

Only teach into those people who are curious and does have the determination to learnt up things because there are ones who are really that eager on learning up which it would be worth on teaching them.
There are ones who do just simply smirk up and turned back on the time that they would be seeing that it couldnt be beneficial for them or something that it is really just that too risky for them to deal with.
So its up to yours on which one you would really be choosing up whether if you do have the right time on dealing and teaching up things or you would be simply not be bothered
if ever there's someone whose interested to learn.Some people doesnt really like to be bothered at all.

Although within this community Bitcoin is practically the only currency in which everyone believes, just look around a bit and we will find thousands of people who think otherwise.
At this point I wonder, what reasons should we give these people to make them realise that Bitcoin is a right choice? The first argument that comes to mind to convince a person who is sceptical about Bitcoin, is first of all that with Bitcoin you no longer need to delegate the custody of your money to a third party (banks, mutual funds, etc.): you are the master and you hold them. What else would you add?

I think the greatest way to let a skeptical person invest in Bitcoin is through your lifestyle especially if you're already doing well in tye Field before inviting the person..
People believe more in the things they see and not what they are told except you are ready to be held responsible just incase things don't go as planned.

Personal result is the best thing to convince skeptical people.  I experienced once that I shared Bitcoin to my friends but they ignore me and stated that it is difficult to get involved in Bitcoin investment because it looks like a scam since there is no central authority.  I did not convince them and continue with what I am doing.  Then years later when lots of good changes in my life happen due to engaging with Bitcoin, they are the first to contact me again and asked about how to start engaging in Bitcoin.  Well, obviously, I told them how to and give them links.

It's not usually easy to get to convince people to accept new things especially with regards to especially those ones that might seem complicated like Bitcoin and has no guaranty but rather has more risk of losing money.
Since you already mention doing your own research, also show them proves of what you've ever told me.

Yes most of them think that Bitcoin is some kind of scam or Ponzi scheme.  They jump into a conclusion even without researching what Bitcoin is.

It's true that not everyone will be convinced to believe in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, and that's okay. It's important to remember that each individual has their own beliefs, preferences, and risk tolerance. However, for those who are open to learning more about Bitcoin, providing clear and accurate information and answering their questions can be helpful. It's ultimately up to them to decide whether they want to invest in Bitcoin or not, but it's always good to share knowledge and offer guidance to those who are interested.
forget those who do have negative thoughts about Bitcoin and other crypto investments. educating them is useless, it will only lead to ridiculous arguments.
just leave them and never get involved in such discussions. just let the market that will provide answers to their disbelief. and for anyone who believes, we can stay focused and enjoy what we believe.

When I think about convincing someone, first thing I do is to check how good that person is with the basic concepts of internet, computers, etc. If the person has 0 level of knowledge, I don't even try.
Then, I start with small steps to see if the person is minimally open to listen. Then, if things go smooth, the orange-pilling happens by itself!

At the moment the price of Bitcoin has touched the 30k benchmark in the last 24 hours and Bitcoin even managed to stay above that price for several hours before it corrected back to the current price of close to 30k moment the last time I checked the price chart it was close to 29,900+ which is close to that region of predictions.


If Bitcoin builds the needed liquidity to stay above that price for over a week, it will become easy for us to forecast more price uptrend prediction but at the moment many market speculators are sceptical about the price ability to stay at that region or possible increase to 40k any moment.

You're right mate
Most times it really seems very difficult telling and educating newbies about Bitcoin especially those ones who in one way or the other might have gotten some negative news about Bitcoin and then find it very difficult to invest because at the end of the day, those conversations mostly ends in arguments which could simply be avoided if the conversation was ignored.

People really have to be educated about Bitcoin because there are a whole lot of opportunities in this industry and I think the industry is very very undermined and it wouldn't be a bad idea if we get more people with the right mindset into Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.

Some people are so set in their ways and behaviorism that it makes convincing them not possible. You cannot convince a person that black is black and white is white if they have been pumped full of ignorance and disinformation throughout their life. This usually only is seen with the older generations but sometimes the young are just as ignorant. I see no reason in wasting your energy trying to convince someone who does not wish to be convinced. The only way to show them the truth is when they see the end result of what buying Bitcoin does for their loved ones.

most of those who are not interested in it of the risk of Bitcoin. and they cannot afford to take the risk of what might happen to their assets. different things they think of as other investment assets. it doesn't matter if they want to believe it or not. we can't force them. the most important thing is when they open the discussion, then tell them what we know. it's impossible for those who are skeptical of Bitcoin to actually raise light discussions regarding Bitcoin. if they open up the discussion, it means there is little interest in those who are also secretly paying attention to the Bitcoin market.

For me, when it comes to highly volatile investments, a single person should not be forced or convinced into it, but should dwell on it voluntarily. Otherwise, the one who insist to convince will be the one responsible for any loss or failure from his investment. And I believe with bitcoin, people should not enter in it just because other people are doing it and benefiting much from it, but the right way is people invest in it because they believe in it as one potential investment that will grow and prosper in time.

I think the issue now is different.

In early days, say 2009-2012, the issue was that few people knew about Bitcoin, and everything was new.

But now, even though there are movies, books, and Bitcoin is basically mainstream, the issue now is that there is a ton of misinformation, and copycats, and altcoins that just want your money, and they try to confuse people.

It's a different scenario, but people still need guidance, and they will probably always need it.

I agree perfectly with your speech, but unfortunately the skeptics will remain skeptical and will hardly be convinced by those who already know bitcoin well, which is why I say that bitcoin now no longer needs to convince anyone, just look into the past and what bitcoin has managed to do, the people are linked to the financial laws required by the states, but everyone forgets that we live in a "free" world and if you're smart you study and inform yourself well about any existing financial form! and bitcoin for me deserves a study by everyone, I don't have to be the one to convince anyone

It can be emotional to explain Bitcoin to skeptics.
They will not believe and will remain skeptical of Bitcoin even though there is already a lot of evidence about Bitcoin's reliability.
They may argue that Bitcoin has many risks, but in reality, everything will have risks not just Bitcoin.

Currently, bitcoin is generally known and many mass media are reporting on Bitcoin.
To find out about Bitcoin alone can easily get it.

There is no need to convince people who don't want to be convinced and still don't open their minds to revolutionary payment technologies like Bitcoin.
We just need to do it ourselves, if we get a lot of benefits those skeptics who underestimate at first will continue to ask why we can and are not affected by the risk.

Just invest properly, and prove that people who are too skeptical about Bitcoin will regret it in the end.

As long as you can read, and you have access to the internet then you are old enough to make your decision about Bitcoin. To sift the truth from the lies, the misinformation, disinformation about Bitcoin from the correct gist. It's not so hard. And I consider any person who wants to debate with me about Bitcoin whether it is or what it's not an unserious person and a waste of my time. People should actually take the time out to read. Do not convince anyone about Bitcoin. The most you should do is send them a link to the Bitcoin white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto. Period.

I agree.

It's not like you see people talking to others about other types of investments with this level of passion.

"Hey, this index fund is the best in the world, put all your money there" said no one, but you do get people that preach Bitcoin like that.

The thing is that Bitcoin doesn't care, and I can understand if someone is new and just understood Bitcoin, it is very exciting and you want to tell others.

In reality the best thing is to not preach Bitcoin, as it shows itself with its truth and openness.

Not really that bad when it comes to suggesting or recommending bitcoin into other person considering about the opportunity that it do give out.I do understand on why some people doesnt really like nor want to introduce Bitcoin into other people just because they dont really like on getting blamed when their investment turns out to be negative or red.This is why they are really that skeptical on doing so or doesnt really
plan on doing so.

Even myself dont bother out on explaining to someone about bitcoin investment.If ever there's someone who would be that explaining about wants to learn then it would
just simply redirect them into some website and let them able to read up on whats on there.

I've never understood why people are trying to convince (force) someone to buy bitcoin. If a person doesn't understand the meaning and value of bitcoin, then even if he buys it, he will regret it and sell it very quickly to buy some things.

There is no need to force people to buy bitcoin. We need to provide them with more resources and information in an unobtrusive form so that they themselves become interested in bitcoin and want to buy it.

It will be very difficult and probably will not be able to give any advice on Bitcoin.
(Rubber wall) is a good term, describing how skeptics do not accept any advice and will increasingly stay away from bitcoin or investments that they think are dubious.

The last few years have indeed been extraordinary years for bitcoin, but of course, it will not stop at that point, there will still be a big boom waiting, so those who doubt will start to enter like at the beginning of bitcoin reaching a new ATH after some media began to doubt bitcoin.

That's right.

Forcing people to buy bitcoin will even make bitcoin look like something bad because it's forced. They'll think like the typical thought of many about bitcoin that it's a ponzi, it's a scam because these encouragements are on the wrong timing.

They want people to buy bitcoin so fast as if there's no tomorrow. We understand the urgency that we're pushing to these people that they shouldn't miss the opportunity.

But, we need to let them understand first what's bitcoin so that it won't look bad as their first impression towards forcing them to buy.

So aside from giving a quick value drop which I like to tell the average no corner is to just look at what happen3d to Ukraine just recently and how they just shut down all the banks. Mile long ATM lines practically. That's just a point prover, you would state after of course you mention the being in full control of your own funds and be your own bank but the long term growth potential due to the inevitably of all banks failing and causing depression or even hyper inflation. The hedge against inflation point and the sheer fact that it is completely off the corrupt banking system, decentralized, and under the constant operation and security of all nodes maintaining the same code and chain for all transactions which can never be deviated without full consensus. Also tell them they should have already researched it and should have already answered all these questions themselves lol its very apparent to anyone with a brain that bitcoin is advantageous to literally everyone..

I've never understood why people are trying to convince (force) someone to buy bitcoin. If a person doesn't understand the meaning and value of bitcoin, then even if he buys it, he will regret it and sell it very quickly to buy some things.

There is no need to force people to buy bitcoin. We need to provide them with more resources and information in an unobtrusive form so that they themselves become interested in bitcoin and want to buy it.

I don't see on the OP Aany wording stated that he convince someone by force. Sceptical person usually has a lot of questions and concerns. Probably this is what the OP trying to answer by the word convincing someone. It's not that they completely don’t like but they are just afraid on the risk involved that is why they don't want to invest. A proper explanation can turn this skeptical people to a believer since Bitcoin has all the feature required as trusted investment in long term.

If you want to help people to understand more about Bitcoin and the underlying blockchain technology, there are some things you can do.

First, your own education first about Bitcoin and Blockchain technology. By understanding the basic concepts and how this technology works, you will be able to answer questions that skeptical people might ask.

Second, share your own experience about investment in Bitcoin. You can talk about your experience in investing, how you study the market and make good investment decisions, and the results you have achieved.

Third, invite skeptics to learn together with you. You can invite them to read articles or watch videos about Bitcoin and Blockchain together, and debate various views on this technology. Finally, remember that investment always has risks. Make sure you provide accurate and balanced information about Bitcoin and talk carefully when discussing investment with other people.

People need results, I mean, have you had any successful results investing in bitcoin? If so, show them, as that will be the most convincing proof of your statement. People will only listen to people who are better than them, richer than them, if you don't have money, lose to them, they will never believe you no matter what you do. You have an income of $2k/month, you can't give investment advice to someone with an income of $10k/month.

Many of those who do this do not really fully understand bitcoin themselves and therefore want to involve others in order to feel that they are not alone in doing something that they do not really understand. Ordinary psychology. If it is intelligible to explain what bitcoin is, what features, advantages and disadvantages it has, then, of course, let people decide for themselves whether they are interested in it. And in fact, there are many people who are not ready to be responsible for their own money, they do not know how to live without delegating authority to a third party, and it may turn out that bitcoin is not suitable for them, but let them decide for themselves, being fully aware of the fact of what is bitcoin.

No need to convince people to buy Bitcoin, rather educate them what will be the advantages and disadvantages of owning a Bitcoin. Proper education could lead the people to do their own research on how they can benefit and what kind of risk they are trying to get in. Bitcoin is for people who have a very high risk tolerance in volatility. Always emphasize to them that they should only invest what they can afford to loose and set aside greediness.

I believe that providing them with education is the best thing you can do to help them avoid falling victim to these con artists that use cryptocurrencies as the foundation for their Ponzi schemes. Regarding persuading, you are correct that it is not a good idea to do so because the market's volatility could cause the person to lose his temper and place the entire blame on you. The best thing you can do is to tell him everything and to make sure he understands how unpredictable the cryptocurrency market is. You also need to clear your name of any guilt by distancing yourself from any decisions he might make after you've given him the knowledge he needs.

Completely agree. And I say more. I am in favor of introducing principles of economics in schools from early ages. And when I say principles of economics I say to let people chose between Keynesian school and Austrian school (Ludwig von Mises), because what is taught at this moment is all based in the Keynsian school which is completely the opposite of Austrian school and that only serves the rich, socialism, capitalism, families and friends.

Youngsters need to know about the aternative aspects of other economic ideals and learn that Keynesian may not be the best choice.
Also, I'm in favor of introducing Blockchain technologies and Bitcoin in Technological classes like Computer classes that kids have from early ages!

But of course that this would jeopardize the monopolly that the states have with the actual model of politics, economics and all that comes from that such as power and means to control the weak links of the population!

Although within this community Bitcoin is practically the only currency in which everyone believes, just look around a bit and we will find thousands of people who think otherwise.
At this point I wonder, what reasons should we give these people to make them realise that Bitcoin is a right choice? The first argument that comes to mind to convince a person who is sceptical about Bitcoin, is first of all that with Bitcoin you no longer need to delegate the custody of your money to a third party (banks, mutual funds, etc.): you are the master and you hold them. What else would you add?

I guess it's totally normal for them not to believe in it I mean, why do we even believe in Bitcoin? Because we know bitcoin we know its potential, we know the market, we know its structure, we have experience on bitcoin, maybe because we already earn on bitcoin, etc.

If you are someone who doesn't believe in Bitcoin maybe because you don't know what it is right. So the best thing to do is to teach them about it, which might change their perspective on Bitcoin. I agree that education is needed and could be a good thing if it's going to be taught to students or even in seminars, but sure the government will not teach Bitcoin because they support banks.

Yeah, I think simply pointing out the basics of Bitcoin and pointers to where to get more information, like the whitepaper, etc, is enough.

I don't think anything else is needed. When people keep pushing something it feels like a scam, altcoin.

Convincing others to invest in bitcoin is really a bad idea. Even ourselves, we would never invest in something we don't believe in. So instead, educate them about bitcoin, give them all the basics, and when they get the hang of it, they'll know what to do next. Many people don't like to invest but can also use bitcoin as a currency, don't just advise them to invest when they don't like it.

Skeptical or not. We need to create awareness one way or the other. A skeptical person can be convinced.

It is okay to be skeptical. This is an investment and we should not just dive into any investment without critical thinking and personal research no matter how little, I will say do not be pushy because when you are pushy, it may send the wrong signal. Be a teacher, especially to some with zero knowledge of Bitcoin, not spoon-feeding tho or communicating the nitty-gritty but education. If you want me to invest, you need education me and this cuts across all investment classes.

 Even a rigid can change their mind to buy. All investment has its advantages and disadvantages so it is important that we mention the pros and cons of Bitcoin. The most important thing here for me is that if you're skeptical, then do your personal research and see the success stories. Convincing a skeptical person is not a waste of time but a way to impart knowledge and awareness in this regard.

It can be used to diversify more traditional assets.

I agree basically a skeptic is a person who hasn't believed in it enough but who can be converted or directed in the right path.  You can convince a person in a thousand ways but for Bitcoin you need education and (personal opinion) you don't need to show the speculative side but only the technological-social side that this protocol can do.  Only if you can understand well how it can make you free then you can accept it.

Convincing someone with cliched theories is a bad idea and just a waste of both of their time. I failed to give advice without any real proof. Instead, I showed them off by showing them how my life is changing by investing in bitcoin. To be honest, since then they started to trust me, but since then I am no longer interested in teaching them to invest because it is not my responsibility. Don't try to convince someone if even you yourself don't have any benefit from investing in bitcoin. Our society is very pragmatic, if you don't have results, then you say no one will believe, and vice versa.

I can never convince somebody to use bitcoin currency because of the risk involved, but there are other things you can convince others to do, not bitcoin. Bitcoin, on the other hand Is where you put your life savings money/funds in the hopes of making a profit, what if you convince them and things don't workout as you told them.? All I can do for someone is teach them about bitcoin, how it works, and the risks involved in it; if you try to convince them, they will not even listen to you, which is a waste of your time.
The only method to transform their negative opinions about bitcoin to good ones is to educate them about it; however, you must be informed about what you're teaching to prevent giving them inaccurate information.

I don't think you are responsible for changing someone's mindset towards bitcoin, especially when they are skeptical of it.
There is no point in convincing them, educating them, forcing our point of view to be accepted and whatever. They will remain skeptical of bitcoin because they are not inherently people who like decentralized financial systems.

I tend to think of saving more energy for more useful things rather than changing the mindset of someone who is skeptical about bitcoin. There is nothing to argue about because in most cases they will not change their mindset for a long time and continue to insist that their point of view is correct. Let me say, leave them in a centralization corner.

Convincing a sceptical person about bitcoin is difficult because he does not have heard about cryptocurrency and if heard then he will not easily trust it. I think that old man are more sceptical as compared to the young one because the old people don't give any value to the online work.

A person can trust if he examine your rate of achievement so no one will easily understand about it. If someone understand it so convincing them is not easy because lots of people are afraid of its risks. I think that convincing is not necessary just give details about bitcoin if they desires they will invest if not then leave them on their own thoughts because they will have more accurate thoughts for themselves.

If you want to teach some individuals about bitcoin and help them to make investment to make their lives happy so you can just give them a brief details about it but you should never force anyone because that work in which an individual is not interested they hardly get profit.

I don't think I need to convince a skeptical person to invest in Bitcoin. I will not go forward suggest that "person to invest in Bitcoin". If ever any such person comes to me for suggestion or advice then I will say him the positive sides of Bitcoin, if he likes then he will invest in it, it totally depends on his intelligence. And I will definitely add one thing, invest in your own risks and also as much as you can efford to lose. And this is how I will convince a sceptical person to buy bitcoin , ;D

If you wish to teach someone about bitcoin it is good to suggest them to go through few articles and other sources that make one learn about bitcoin. After that if they've learnt something and have interest to invest, then just guide them. We should never keep on insisting a person to use/invest in bitcoin.

When we think about making a person learn about bitcoin, the prime focus need to be on making the person buy a very small part, and further he/she will buy as she knows the real variation taking place with the investment.

They are really well off and have successful careers and want to have another asset to leave to their children and grand children once they are gone.

Just 2 weeks ago we explained to them what it's all about and how you can buy and sell it and everything and already some days later they already registered at an exchange. They also were sceptical but still very interested and it seems they saw the value in giving it a shot.

They will not be interested on it if they do not have deep reason on spending time learning about it. If there is someone who will introduce someon who will introduce me on something I don't fully understand and I do not have interested on it, the 1st thing that I will do is to ignore it. I will only cater them if the topic that they brought is something interesting and I have curiousity over it. This scenarios can also be applied to everyone especially if they are old not that techie they will have a hard time on becoming interested to buy and learn about bitcoin.

That is also the reason why I never force anyone to invest in it because I understand the risk of it like there is always uncertainty all over the market. Even though bitcoin is considered as one of the good investment nowadays, you cannot still guaranteed that you can 100% make a return because of its volatility and it is also considered as probability game.

The best way to convince someone to buy Bitcoin is to place them into a situation where they need to buy something internationally.

I see that the proper way to convince a skeptical person is to take his risk on your account (cover his losses). Let him invest his money, set a date when you plan to check Bitcoin price and sell it. If the price is lower, you repay a price difference. If the price is higher, that person takes everything. Repeat that until he starts to believe. Talking, giving examples, showing charts and etc wont work. Persons skepticism is in fear. Once there is not fear of loosing, he will believe and do everything.

I think there is no need to bring people who don't want to invest in Bitcoin or they are not interested. If you try to inspire them on your own responsibility, many times they may react negatively to you. Also, since Bitcoin is a highly volatile currency, a large dumping of the price can have a big impact on you. Just remember as you won't get any profits there you should not do anything that affects you later. But yes, as a conscious person you have a responsibility to give people some good message. You can explain it to them from that point of view. But if they take your point positively then you can enlighten them.

Certainly, there is no obligation to persuade them, but when we have like-minded friends, I believe it is not a problem to learn together and share about Bitcoin.

Perhaps the goal of OP in wanting to convince their friend and learn about Bitcoin is to make the topic of Bitcoin appear more frequently in their conversations. And isn't that a good thing? To make the topic of Bitcoin more engaging and interesting when gathering.

My suggestion is to bring up Bitcoin when you are deep in conversation and discussing life issues. That's when skeptics begin to open up and seek some interesting facts about Bitcoin that you can introduce to them.

True. I can talk about Bitcoin with my friends if they ask me, but I'll never tell them to invest in it, and I told them that already. One of them asked me when should he buy it, now or later and I said that I can't take responsibility for his money and he should make research and think about it.

Investing in bitcoin is for his benefit, if he doubts, let him regret more in the future. I won't do it because it doesn't benefit me, even makes me lose if his investment loses. I think we don't have to, it's not our responsibility. If people doubt bitcoin, let them regret it in the future. I'm in favor of recommending bitcoin to others, that's a good thing. But being willing to make up for someone's losses is a bad idea.

True. I can talk about Bitcoin with my friends if they ask me, but I'll never tell them to invest in it, and I told them that already. One of them asked me when should he buy it, now or later and I said that I can't take responsibility for his money and he should make research and think about it.

And this is the best way. In order not to lose savings by investing in something, they need to understand this something at least minimally. And if they rely only on someone's advice, then this is only shifting responsibility to someone, so that later this person can be blamed for everything. Let people learn about the possibilities and benefits of bitcoin, and then make their own choice.

This is the best approach when we refer someone to bitcoin. What we need to do is just give them the necessary knowledge about bitcoin and let them decide everything. Don't give them advice or try to convince them, it's a bad idea. They will blame us if they fail, and if they make a profit, they will never remember us.

I believe that providing them with education is the best thing you can do to help them avoid falling victim to these con artists that use cryptocurrencies as the foundation for their Ponzi schemes. Regarding persuading, you are correct that it is not a good idea to do so because the market's volatility could cause the person to lose his temper and place the entire blame on you. The best thing you can do is to tell him everything and to make sure he understands how unpredictable the cryptocurrency market is. You also need to clear your name of any guilt by distancing yourself from any decisions he might make after you've given him the knowledge he needs.

Yeah, I think simply pointing out the basics of Bitcoin and pointers to where to get more information, like the whitepaper, etc, is enough.

I don't think anything else is needed. When people keep pushing something it feels like a scam, altcoin.
Right, no need to convince either. A person who starts to see the worth and usefulness of bitcoin will eventually decide to invest without hesitation, no need for someone to teach him on how to decide. However, for those who are always skeptical to bitcoin, just leave them the way they are. Once you’re done telling them the basics of bitcoin and how it can be useful for us, then observe their reactions. If they start to invest, then good for them, if they won’t, then never convince them at all. Bitcoin investment should be done voluntarily, and not that they will think that they are obliged to invest in it.

An older couple I know in Tokyo made their first bitcoin investment yesterday after we told them about it.

They are really well off and have successful careers and want to have another asset to leave to their children and grand children once they are gone.

Just 2 weeks ago we explained to them what it's all about and how you can buy and sell it and everything and already some days later they already registered at an exchange. They also were sceptical but still very interested and it seems they saw the value in giving it a shot.



I guess they knew about bitcoin before but still had some doubts, and after you explained better, they understood it all and decided to invest. They are well-off people and have successful careers, proving they are explorers or willing to seize every opportunity they see. You are so lucky to meet such people.

But not everyone will be like that couple. Most people I meet are fearful, do not want to accept new things, and always doubt everything around them, even when relatives introduce it. So I won't waste my time with such people.

This is why i dont like on approaching someone and tell them about bitcoin or crypto on which it is really that something that would really be having some doubts and no matter how you do explain it carefully but still
they would be ending up on being that skeptical and raises up some questions which would really be piss you out no matter how well you do explain.Just like some of my relatives after i have told them about this
market and the opportunity that it gives.On the time that they had seen some red on their ports then they do really just simply make out some blaming time on me which
i didnt really like after all.They are really just trying out to make things messy without trying out to understand.

I see that the proper way to convince a skeptical person is to take his risk on your account (cover his losses). Let him invest his money, set a date when you plan to check Bitcoin price and sell it. If the price is lower, you repay a price difference. If the price is higher, that person takes everything. Repeat that until he starts to believe. Talking, giving examples, showing charts and etc wont work. Persons skepticism is in fear. Once there is not fear of loosing, he will believe and do everything.

Investing in bitcoin is for his benefit, if he doubts, let him regret more in the future. I won't do it because it doesn't benefit me, even makes me lose if his investment loses. I think we don't have to, it's not our responsibility. If people doubt bitcoin, let them regret it in the future. I'm in favor of recommending bitcoin to others, that's a good thing. But being willing to make up for someone's losses is a bad idea.

But how else then one person can persuade other person to invest if that person have doubts? Saying that he will regret not investing also does not look good. It is as if forcing someone to invest. But covering possible losses might show how I trust in price growth. That proves that I am so much sure in Bitcoin, that I risk my own money for other persons chance to earn. And that person who we helped to earn through investing might be so thankful, that he might even share a little part of his profit.

Yes, and at the same time, their success, even if they don’t thank us for it, benefits us all, and their failure is not only possible unpleasant talk, but also a slowdown in the spread of bitcoin in the world. We are interested not just in people investing in bitcoin, but in ensuring that as many people as possible get to know bitcoin successfully and leave only positive memories.

Skepticism comes when there is doubt, more knowledge and understanding of something overcome doubt and so you can advice them to read its Whitepaper and other books like Mastering bitcoin and the Bitcoin Investor


Title: Re: How to convince a sceptical person to buy Bitcoin ?
Post by: Faisal2202 on April 19, 2023, 04:51:36 PM
who is sceptical about Bitcoin, is first of all that with Bitcoin you no longer need to delegate the custody of your money to a third party (banks, mutual funds, etc.): you are the master and you hold them. What else would you add?
If we directly say to them that, you no longer need banks instead you need wallets (hot or cold) they will become more skeptical about BTC. Because the bank has not only made a place in the hearts of these people but also in the hearts of their forefathers before them. I don't think we can take the bank out of their hearts and turn them to use blockchain or crypto wallets, so easily. If we show these people how these banks play with all the money and how they use it to their advantage, surely these people will come to the crypto and blockchain technology.

But my question is, why do we need to focus/force these people toward Bitcoin/blockchain if they don't give a shit about it then it's their choice what we can do. Ah, if they have like, doubt and they are eager to learn about it, and how it's different from a centralized system then we should help them in early education. Because education/knowledge is the main key to overcoming skepticism. i think you should start with the following topics first.

  • Tell them about Centralization and Decentralization system and their pros and cons
  • Define the origin of Bitcoin and the Decentralized blockchain system
  • Tell them the complete history of how Bitcoin streamlined its path for adoption and how many people are trading it.
  • Early knowledge of every technology always take people to new heights.

If they are still so much skeptical about Bitcoin then we should leave them on their condition and should not force them or convince them to buy BTC as a matter of fact, we should not convince anybody to invest or start trading in BTC because at the end it does not go well. But if you can take the heat from them then go on.  ;)

You are correct, more especially some people would say, "Invest now and you will not regret it," in some cases not as if they meant bad for the person's investment but just that they see they have made profit in their Bitcoin investment and they also want to see their friends benefit from it too, but they don't do it right sometimes; they don't map out the risk and also don't know how to present their speech to the person they tend to convince to invest.

If I were to talk to someone about investing in Bitcoin, I would not guarantee that person of paying back their losses; I would only tell them how the system works and also tell them that they may not get a profit at the time they think it will come and that they might encounter losses and hope that wouldn't trigger them to sell off.

How to convince a skeptical person then? "Not ready - dont force" sounds like you are quick to give up on convincing.

Also, I have never said that with that "loss protection" I am going to protect them for whole life. Take a situation when a kids learns to ride a bicycle. Parent helps them to ride for first time, first meters. Or small two wheel on side of back wheel. I am (my advice to recover first loss) that little wheel/parent that helps them to make first step.

Any initiative can be punishable, so I am of the opinion that with regard to skeptics, it is simply not worth discussing with them. They have their own point of view and they are simply not ready to accept bitcoin yet.

I am convinced that if a person is set up negatively, then there is simply no point in convincing him of something. Bitcoin will do everything by itself, some time will pass and its acceptance will become obvious to everyone. Yes, at that time it may be too late for a skeptic to invest in bitcoin, since it will become much more expensive, but it will be his choice and his decision.

It is just the interest of a person that brings them in. Might some people have tried because someone suggested it but of course, we can't be sure that it will invest in Bitcoin for the long term? Because it was too hard to be in a place that you are not comfortable with and most especially if you are an impatient person as I know it was difficult for them to understand the nature of the market.
That is why is a wrong move to force someone to invest in Bitcoin. We already told them and we're done with our part as it was their decision to be a part of crypto.

For the skeptics, bitcoin really doesn't need those types of people either so I think it would be wasteful and boring to keep trying to convince them. Even persuading them would make us mentally exhausted, so I won't do that stupid thing. Instead, we should take our investment and find a way to help those with a more bitcoin-friendly stance, that will be more than worthy of our time. Our lives are full of things to take care of, so don't waste time with people who always doubt us when we try to help them.

Although within this community Bitcoin is practically the only currency in which everyone believes, just look around a bit and we will find thousands of people who think otherwise.
There is no reason to convince people to choose Bitcoin because everyone has their own beliefs how they can believe in something. Not everyone believes Bitcoin as one of the currencies, that's not true in my opinion because we still need Fiat currency, we only believe Bitcoin as the best investment at the moment.

At this point I wonder, what reasons should we give these people to make them realise that Bitcoin is a right choice? The first argument that comes to mind to convince a person who is sceptical about Bitcoin, is first of all that with Bitcoin you no longer need to delegate the custody of your money to a third party (banks, mutual funds, etc.): you are the master and you hold them. What else would you add?
That is the advantage of bitcoin because we are the sole owner and are not controlled by anyone, bitcoin is also able to maintain value in the long term as an investment and price fluctuations can bring us to the stage of perfection in investing, if we understand the investment pattern and know how to analyze bitcoin journey.

Trying to convince someone, especially a friend, to do something, and especially in the financial field, is the worst thing you can do because it can actually ruin relationships and even lives. You should explain why YOU decided to buy bitcoin (or any type of asset/investment) and then let them decide whether they want to do the same or not and make sure that there is no way they can blame you for something in case things go south.

One of Satoshi's most famous quotes is "If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry", so why should you?

If you want someone to change their mind and believe what you say, you should prove it to them instead of spending too much time convincing them with theory. I'm not in the habit of having to convince or advise someone because I'm not them, I'm not in their situation, so I can't know what advice would be best for them.

The way that I convince people is by proof, for example when talking about bitcoin. You cannot convince someone to invest in bitcoin when even you have not succeeded in investing in bitcoin. But if you become rich, and have positive results, you don't need to convince them, they will find you on their own. A loser cannot advise a successful person, and a person with an income of $100 cannot teach a person with a $1,000 income to get rich.

no need to explain too much just introduce him to Bitcoin and after Bitcoin goes up he knows what to do.  Talking too much makes them think it's a scam.  Everything needs to happen as naturally as possible and take time as well.

Just tell them everything. Not only the positive side, but the both. The profits that you have gained also the loses you have made during your journey. Gains and loses are a part of the system. Ask them if they still have the courage to hold on even after learning all of that.
Choosing bitcoin as an option should be people's own choice. You can never force something to someone and wish for them to dedicate their self to it. If only they choose it on their own free will, you can teach them more what you know about it. Otherwise, there's no chance of teaching them.
Spread the knowledge, I will say. Nothing more you can do here. If they choose, they will come to learn more.

if you ask my opinion, i will simply explain it. first of all, i suggest you to do not force other people to buy bitcoin if do not want to be blamed if they are lost (of profit / investment value). But if you just answers the information for their questions about bitcoin is no problem to do. Or even sharing a non provocative information of bitcoin is good to do.

The first argument that comes to mind to convince a person who is sceptical about Bitcoin, is first of all that with Bitcoin you no longer need to delegate the custody of your money to a third party (banks, mutual funds, etc.): you are the master and you hold them. What else would you add?
yeah i would add a point. Bitcoin is easier way to do transactions across the countries without any third party so it may take easier and less fee. you can present this aspect as additional information while sharing about bitcoin.

Although within this community Bitcoin is practically the only currency in which everyone believes, just look around a bit and we will find thousands of people who think otherwise.
At this point I wonder, what reasons should we give these people to make them realise that Bitcoin is a right choice? The first argument that comes to mind to convince a person who is sceptical about Bitcoin, is first of all that with Bitcoin you no longer need to delegate the custody of your money to a third party (banks, mutual funds, etc.): you are the master and you hold them. What else would you add?

There is no reason to convince them. They will join us when they're ready.

Most of us have been brainwashed when it comes to BTC. "Normal" people don't have this mindset and there is a even bigger % who don't even understand it. You telling them the benefits of what they don't understand gives them no benefit nor shouldn't convince them to use BTC over traditional currency.

At the end of the day most normal people don't have interest in BTC other than to make a profit. You tell a person about all the benefits of blockchain and BTC and they don't care but you tell them you 50x your money then they will drop their whole life savings into it and become a twitter moon boi.

The general public is happy with a fiat system and the ones who aren't are already here. You ask a person about BTC and most of the time the answer is "Oh I wish I bought some at X amount" or "I had 100BTC back in 2013, wish I saved them" they only care about the wealth it brings not the advantages.

You know, people who have nature’s way of being skeptic will still end up being skeptical no matter how you educate them. So never waste your time convincing them, just wait until they become ready to be educated and start trusting bitcoin. If they won’t reach that point, I guess that’s not our loss but theirs. Soon they will regret missing an opportunity when it’s already in front of them just waiting to be taken advantage.

The rule of thumb when you want to increase the awareness of BTC is by explaining the fundamentals behind it. Let me point it out- you should never convince or force anyone to invest in BTC especially if they know little-to-nothing about it.

When you convince or force someone, you are basically telling them to invest into something without them even understanding what they are delving in the first place.

The best way is for you to explain your idea on why investing is a good idea on BTC and you let them decide for themselves whether to invest or not. In this method, you are actually letting them think for themselves rather than spoon-feeding them with ideas.

On hearing a word, there are people who believe in it. Same time there are people who keep on finding flaws and stay skeptic for no reason. It is our duty to just educate what we have come through and what all we've experienced in terms of profit as well as the risk associated with it. Later part is to be left for them whether to believe and get into the market or just stay away finding flaws. There are people who can't be satisfied through any means, because they're being grown in such a way that you shouldn't believe anyone.

Trying to convince someone to buy BTC is like networking and scammy shade. Since I like to post Crypto in my social media walls, some of those skeptical to BTC are reaching me out thru private message.

no need to explain too much just introduce him to Bitcoin and after Bitcoin goes up he knows what to do.  Talking too much makes them think it's a scam.  Everything needs to happen as naturally as possible and take time as well.

Agree, the more we try to convince others, the more they think we are just trying to scam them. The best way is to let them see the growth of bitcoin and they will know what to do after that. Although now is a good time to invest because the price is quite cheap, but there is no need to rush, if they have not invested now, give them more time.

Its too hard to teach a person who has a different perspective of mind you cannot do anything unless you change their way of thinking, but the pride and ego you are against, better to save your energy for the person who really wants to know about bitcoin stop pleasing other people to make an investment with the bitcoin if they really don't want to, it's on their mistake if they miss out the chance of the bitcoin and other opportunities in crypto and you are no regrets that you told them about the existence of it.

Don't even bother doing that, you may not succeed at it.
You can force a person to buy something they don't believe in. Been skeptical shows that they don't believe in it and it make take a lot to convince them otherwise.

Why is it dangerous to convince someone to buy BTC when despite their skeptism is that what if there is a downward trend? They will blame you for it.

So the best you can do is try to educate them about it, then leave them to their conviction.

yes, almost everyone who follows developments in the digitalization era like today will recognize bitcoin as a means of payment that can replace Fiat money in transactions, but there are also individuals who have skepticism about the development of bitcoin. and in my opinion, there is no need to convince and give understanding to someone who is skeptical about bitcoin, because basically these skeptics only see bitcoin as something that is uncertain. therefore it is not important to convince people who still have a skeptical attitude towards Crypto or bitcoin in particular

I think that trying to convince anyone who is skeptical is a bad idea. They would see the attempt of someone trying to convince them of something, especially something which has to do with them investing money, as a an attempt at scamming them somehow.

No matter how well-structured and logical your arguments are, some people push back harder the more you try to convince them.

I believe the best method of dealing with those kinds of people is to just show them your positive history with Bitcoin. Show them proof of how Bitcoin has helped you. Especially show them your return on investment (ROI).

No better way to convince someone than to show them hard proof.

Yeah, I think simply showing someone the graphs of currencies worth in the last 10 or 20 years should be enough for them to realize how much fiat is losing its value year by year.

The thing is that because inflation moves slowly usually, people don't realize this. It's only in periods of hyperinflation where this is evident.

To convince a skeptical person to buy bitcoin is not proper because if he is skeptical his mind is closed in any argument. If a person shows interest in investing Bitcoin he himself will do his own research and study the flow of investing in Bitcoin. Investing Bitcoin is for the people who are open minded who are ready to take risk in investing. I am sure the skeptical persons would regret it if they had found out how much profit they had missed if they had invested earlier.

It's not easy to convince person to buy Bitcoin. Some people not believe in bitcoin and some are not interested to buy Bitcoin. Don't force people to invest in bitcoin if they are interested they search on their own to have more knowledge about it.
Other people think bitcoin is a scam. Do your own invest in bitcoin don't think for other people let them study the bitcoin so that they can get a better idea on it.

You can simply tell him Bitcoin has some advantages like being decentralized, and limited supply which makes it an attractive long term investment for some.  In addition, sending Bitcoins is very easy and fast, and does not require a third party to send them.

However, it is important not to try to convince everyone to invest in Bitcoin.  Everyone should make their own investment decision once you have provided this information.  Because convincing people to invest in Bitcoin or other coins is not an easy thing, and must depend on the situation and condition of him that we want to convince.

If he shows an interest of his own in Bitcoin, then guide him and provide accurate information about the technology behind it and how to spend and send it.

It is very difficult to convince him, it has happened to me with many friends, and the truth is not pleasant at all, because listening to their opinions and the reasons why they do not buy bitcoin is something that seems to me to be under-argued according to their knowledge, they only repeat what they say in the news and in articles that have no value, I think that if they speak according to what an economist thinks it would be something more Serious and credible for a debate,but it is not the idea, the easiest way is going back to basics, saying that bitcoin is money, that it is easier to have bitcoin than to have money in a bank, because money grows faster in bitcoin than in a bank.

You shouldn't do that. If a person is skeptical towards Bitcoin, he doesn't deserve it. For years I've tried to persuade people to buy Bitcoin but failed every single time. Let go, you can't do that. Everything will come in due time, it means you're too early and their time has not come yet. Most of them will buy but much later and at a much higher price.  8)

I have given up that on long time when we do speak on telling someone about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency benefits and its usage which of course they would really be that skeptical on first approach. Most of them would really be that skeptical and raising up some question about this and that and on the time that you would be answering them on best as possible, they would be still ending up on negative and the worst on the time that
they would be making out some investment and if it losses or in reds then you are the ones who would really be that to be blamed on what happen and thats a shit feeling that i cant really be able to accept. lol

This is why i never had that kind of consideration on teaching up someone unless if they would be approaching to me and asking about it or simply having that curiosity which i might consider but offering that free lesson or teaching about it then i wont really be doing such thing.Its better that they are the ones who would really be able to realize on what they should gonna do. They would really be indeed that late
if ever that thing happens.

I think it can be argued that if someone has gold, he is always afraid that thieves might steal his gold but if he has bitcoins instead of gold, he won't have any risk of teal bitcoins until you provide phrase to someone be because Bitcoin posses no physical state

If one is traveling from one place to another even if he travels from one country to another, he can withdraw and sell bitcoins from his wallet anywhere, anytime, through his password. bitcoin has no apparent volume, no one knows how many bitcoins you have,and no one will know the complete information of your assets which is very necessary to be safe from eyes of world

Investing in Bitcoin is a personal decision that each individual must make for themselves. It's important to do your own research and understand the risks and benefits of investing in Bitcoin. This means considering factors such as how much money you can afford to invest,. your financial goals, and your personal circumstances.
Before investing in Bitcoin, it's important to understand that it can be a very volatile asset, meaning that its value can fluctuate rapidly and significantly. This can present risks as well as potential rewards. Therefore, it's important to weigh these risks and rewards and make an informed decision that aligns with your financial goals and situation.
Overall, it's important to do your own research, understand the potential risks and benefits of investing in Bitcoin, and make a decision that aligns with your own financial goals and circumstances,. I Think!

Instead of trying to persuade, tell him what convenience bitcoin has brought to your life. Then it will watch what you are already doing. In time, he will find himself in the crypto world. If you have to say something, tell him that things that were not valued in society at the time may one day reach their true value. You shouldn't have to persuade, though. After a while, he will be convinced himself. I don't know how many years this will take, but of course that day will come. Bitcoin will be a value used all over the world. Some discover things sooner and take advantage.

At first I use to think this way, about ways I can use to convince people about bitcoin and why they should start making use of the digital technology, haven understood and benefiting from the currency myself. But I found out humans are hard to deal with for what they didn't on their own volition gained interest.

Some person's can attest to how they were later accused by those they convinced of investing in bitcoin and the market didn't go well as it was explained to them maybe because a dip happened after they invested.  Now you never explained this part to the new person when you were trying to convince them.

 There's no better way than to allow your success speak for you stead of spending energy trying to convince people about bitcoin. Why not divert that energy on ways to increasing your success.

I agree with you. We don't need to force anyone to invest in Bitcoin, it is a personal choice. If there are some people who never realize Bitcoin potential as a good investment, just ignore them. Investing in Bitcoin isn't for everyone, only people who believe in Bitcoin deserve to invest in it. I have some skeptical people around my home, I never think to convince them because it seems impossible.

Sure, Bitcoin potential profits are much better than Bank profits. The volatility in Bitcoin price that can make us to get huge profits.

Different people's perspectives differ from the reality of bitcoin events, additionally we must use caution at all times. Ignorant individuals worry me out, therefore I've saved my strength for the forthcoming bull market. It is critical that we understand when to enter the market, particularly with solid entrances. Convincing my friend to buy my digital currency is no longer possible; he has already been moved driven by my market rewards. There's no time to buy more coins because the bull season is just around the horizon; I'm not sure when it will begin, but I sensed it and it's obvious.

Why do you have to do that?
Trying to convince someone over something that the person did not want isn't right most especially when it's all about Bitcoin, don't force anyone to it, just explain to them what the technology is all about and then let them be, there is no point in convincing them that Bitcoin is the right choice, because if any mistake of investment is being made in the near future, you who convince them will be the one to be hold responsible.
The matter is basically not like that, if I can gain a good knowledge about Bitcoin myself, then surely if I advise a person about Bitcoin, he will understand. If you want to explain this technology well to an unknown person, he will not understand at first. You notice that there are many of your friends who do not have good knowledge about Bitcoin and do not believe in Bitcoin. But if you teach them bitcoin in general then surely they will accept your bitcoin education. If you discuss the future of Bitcoin with an unknown person, he will understand. When I first told my friends about Bitcoin they didn't believe in Bitcoin but later on I brought them to crypto by discussing Bitcoin with them. If you want to and attract unknown people to the forum by explaining Bitcoin well like this, then this forum will become popular and everyone will accept Bitcoin as the currency of choice in the future.
