Here's how I have been able to change people's opinion from being haters of Bitcoin to thinking about buying some and even some actually buying some.
I follow these 3 steps/rules that I made:
1. Don't get aggressive:
A lot of bitcoin denier get VERY aggressive about how bitcoin is a scam, don't get aggressive. If they are too aggressive and mad, just change the subject for the moment. No need to waste time.
2. Make them doubt their convictions.
Make them doubt that bitcoin is a scam or doomed to fail. A couple of examples that I use are:
- This is comparable to when people wouldn't want to use their credit cards online because they were scared of fraud.
- Bitcoin is far from reaching it's full potential, mass adoption takes a lot of time. This is comparable to when Amazon just sold books or Google was nothing compared to Yahoo.. remember Yahoo? (laughs)
- Crypto currencies are the next steps in the evolution of payment : Barter -> Precious Metals -> Paper Money -> Plastic Cards -> Digital Money
3. Mention the Coinbase $10 when you buy $100 in Bitcoin and then let it simmer...
Let them think about it, they will so their research or ask around. Most will come back to you to get your code for the referral bonus.
Do you have other arguments that you use? I'd love to know.
BTC: 3LcmdDp52oShwv9UTy55vX69JxEibEoKrw
ETH: 0xe822Dc108cb78C9137BF2D92429449B97F1415E0
My argument is very simple: I show my wallets with past transactions as well as the money I earned thanks to bitcoin and crypto in General. When a person sees naked numbers and real money in his hands, all arguments against him disappear and he asks you to teach him how to do the same as you do. |

What is HODL? The very first time the term HODL appeared on the Bitcoin talk forum was in 2013 and came from a member named GameKyuubi under the thread “I AM HODLING”. From the look of the post, he was drunk and wanted to convey the fact that he was holding his BTC despite the serious fall that had just happened.  Since then, this misspelled term became very popular in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency world. Whenever a person says in a conversation that he/she is hodling or suggests to hodl, it means that they believe their coin will be profitable one day, if not today. So basically, “HODL” was originally a typo which has now popularly earned the status of a humorous backronym: “ HODL” – “Hold on for dear life” Kwatwani, S. (2018, February 2). What is "HODL" in the Cryptocurrency World? + Must Know Cryptocurrency Terms [Web log post]. Retrieved from https://coinsutra.com/hodl-popular-cryptocurrency-terms/
So let's cut now the history of the term. Well I want to share to you my perspective about the HODL strategy, We were all a newbie once in everything like the cryptocurrency, trading, mining, investing, etc. Most of us chooses the path of being a trader either a full time/part time, day trading/long term holding. Most of us experienced the markets bears and bulls and as a newbie we're seeking for a right answer and most of the answer we've got from different peoples, articles and videos online is the term "HODL" and they said that it is the best way to do whenever there's a bear market, is it the right thing to do? At first I believe in that saying because I don't have any knowledge about cryptos but after being having an experience in this forum, trading and investing to ICO's I just realized that it's not always the best way or the best strategy in cryptocurrency industry, in my case whenever there's a bear market I am analyzing the market and there's a time that we need to cut our loses and study different cryptos in the market wherein we can take advantage and earn more rather than waiting for a long time until the market recovers. Well, the only disadvantages I've seen so far is that if your analyzation is wrong and you've invested to a wrong coin. Just like what I've said not all the time HODL is the best, we should consider other strategies as well. This is all according to my own perspective and opinion, I would be glad if you will give yours  At the moment, a long-term investment is the best thing you can do with your money regarding crypto. Trading with crypto is not the best option now, as the market is very unstable and jumps can not be predicted even by experienced traders. Signals that are given in closed paid groups also do not work as they should. Long - term investment in bitcoin is the key to success. |

I have been thinking a lot lately about why the central bankers are allowing Bitcoin to continue with only minor resistance. The central bankers have set up shop in almost all civilized countries and have a money printing racket going on. In America the central bankers are kind enough to let our treasury print the money and then they take 6% off the top thus enslaving the American population. Don't worry though most Americans are completely unaware of any of this. The central bankers control the military as well as they own the government.
The last country, without nuclear weapons, to attempt to bypass the central bankers was Libya. I can still see the vivid video on the internet of Qaddafi being murdered in broad daylight in the middle of the streets of Libya. Another fellow who attempted to not use the US dollar and went against the wishes of the central bank was Saddam Hussein. Once again he met a similar fate. He was hung.
The three countries without central banks right now Iran, North Korea and Syria are under constant attack or threat of attack from the central bankers.
Why would they allow Bitcoin to continue like this and grow momentum? All they would have to do is outlaw it and 90% of the world population would bitch out immediately and stop. But they don't do it.
Is Bitcoin a trap? Is this a central banker monstrosity used to turn us into tax slaves by recording every transaction? Was Bitcoin innocent and free money and the central bankers are trying to squeeze their way in so they can use it as a weapon? The only thing I do know is they are not handing over a decentralized economy to us because they love us. What's the play? Are we being set up? Are we the useful idiots getting all our friends and countrymen involved in crypto?
How does bitcoin recording every transaction make you a slave if all transactions are completely anonymous? Even if the blockchain secretly records the IP addresses of bitcoin senders and recipients, this information is not enough to prove that this transaction was carried out by you. Plus, the legislation does not regulate it. |

To start with, I’am owner of a small coffee shop and the business goes well now, because we caught the wave in the right time several years ago. Now, ofc crypto will be on the peak, but I’am afraid not in my country yet. We are planning start-up (fast food) and want to stand up from the crowd by adding crypto as a payment method. Who have an experience/ knowledge of such integration, help me please with the process step by step?
You should Google places that currently use bitcoin and crypto as a way to pay for their goods and contact them. Surely people who have grown to such a progressive method of payment will be happy to share this information with you, since it is in their interests: the more institutions will use crypto as a method of payment for goods - the more reliable the currency as a whole. |

Will the value of native currency fall down if the usage of bitcoin increases?do people feel that they don't need fiat anymore for the transactions to happen?Is that why people are trying to let down bitcoin ? Many questions are just wandering in my mind at the moment. Can anyone answer atleast few of them?
At the moment, bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies are in puberty, if I may say so. All these metamorphoses and jumps in the rates only once again prove that we see the formation of a strong and completely new concept of using money. How long this period will last is unknown, but for 10 years it is a very good aging period. |

Hey,
I have been investing in some btc recently and i have seen that in my country i can pay for example in a pizza restaurant (when i order online) with online coins.
Do you think that btc will become the future currency of our world?
Bitcoin has already become the currency of the future, as before no one could think that all transactions can be transparent and will be bypassed by the government and tax. In the future, currencies in the digital world will only develop, and we will forget Fiat money as a nightmare. |

Don't know about you, but I think it's all a global conspiracy theory and bitcoin our weapons in the hands of the army of positive fighters against the corrupt government financial system. Yes, perhaps the US is the main owner of bitcoin, but the blockchain allows you to track this situation in real time. Everything is in our hands. |

In the past two months, bitcoin's fluctuation very small except for 10/15 accident of USDT, which caused a sudden & incredible price increase of bitcoin/eth, at the same time, many investors dumped their USDT & bought bitcoin instead - hence in fact, bitcoin took the responsibility of acting as a stablecoin, which is very interesting.
Why did they change to pursue bitcoin in such a panic situation? Which kind of true value bitcoin can bring to them? Will bitcoin turn into a real stablecoin in the future? Is it possible for bitcoin to be a popular tool in the payment industry? .....
So many conversations have already been about the fact that bitcoin is an unstable currency, that its volatility is normal and that making decisions on the emotion is not the best way to trade on the exchange. Some investors still do not understand that this situation is the norm and that the movement of bitcoin does not depend on one or two factors, but on a number of reasons that need to be monitored and analyzed. |

Thank you very much, but the list of resources is far from complete. Not so long ago, I came across a web site where all the resources were collected for a full immersion in ICO and crypto if you have not heard anything about it before. Will try find this list and send you, so as your leaves much to be desired. Without insults) |

We heard that crypto is often used for terrorist funding, but according to IOCTA in 2018, such an assumption is wrong.
Today, the popularity of Bitcoin is getting better, but the relationship with terrorist funding, they prefer the classic method of transferring through banks.
so, terrorist groups that use bitcoin are only low level transactions.
Time passes, but nothing changes. It seems to me terrorists use cash or transfers in banks, through third parties or employees of these very banks. Surely there are internal structures of implementation, to suck the internal data of such huge corporations, which are subsequently used for terrorist purposes. |

If you really want to understand blockchain technology and invest in new projects, you definitely need to read the data security laws. I've seen so many Dapps that offer opportunities to free people, free data or create open markets. Cool, but the white paper doesn't say how to store these extremely private, sensitive data controlled by a highly developed set of international data security laws, does it? Data privacy on the blockchain is integrated with the underlying chain, or built in the top layer, which will create a huge market that is critical to expanding consumer-grade applications.
The blockchain in the first place is the transparency of the data, and not security. Of course, if your payment in the form of a transaction suddenly disappears in the process of transfer, there is no one to send claims. If you care about security and want to keep data secret from other users, I advise you to read the literature about it or at least watch the training videos on YouTube. |

I heard a news about,
$6 Billion gets wiped out of the market capitalization the cryptocurrencies between November 7th and November 9th 2018( within 48 hours).The valuation of this highly volatile market fell from $220 billion to $214 billion within this period.
So, what do you know about this, and what will happen to the price of the bitcoin ?
It's just a rumor. I do not know where they come from, as he recently heard that China has legalized bitcoin and introduced its use at the state level. After a simple search revealed that this is a common fake, although the resource that reported this is very influential and serious. This also happens-check the information. |

Facebook is not against Bitcoin but rather intends to avoid the situation of misleading its community members through its paid advertisement. Users of facebook can post crypto and Bitcoin related topics on facebook without any penalty.
Facebook is completely loyal to its users, paying special attention to crypto and ICO projects. What can not be said about Twitter, which banned a huge number of participants bounty for PR projects. I think this topic should be raised for public discussion. Everyone has the freedom to choose what and where to publish. |

We live in a world where we are bombarded with choices and the same goes for payment methods. We currently have a veriety of different payment methods, like : Credit Cards / Debit Cards / PayPal / Payment processors / Charge cards / Prepaid cards / Phone and mobile payments / Money orders / Online Banking ePayments (OBeP) / Cheque and Crypto currencies. looking at the wide selection of options on the table, would you be able to motivate people to adopt Bitcoin, over any of the other options? What sets Bitcoin apart from these other options and how would you differentiate between these payment methods and Bitcoin? What makes Bitcoin better? Let's discuss.  The most important thing is perhaps the quality of bitcoin is its anonymity in use. No payment method can guarantee you such anonymity as bitcoin and this is its main advantage. Otherwise, he certainly loses the usual methods of payment, anyway. But again, it's a matter of time. |

Nasdaq opened its electronic stock exchange back in 1971. The stock exchange highly invests in cutting-edge technology and hopes to be a pioneer in the blockchain. According to Mr. Haglind, Key players in the industry are looking to these technologies  to make them more effective and efficient while gaining a competitive advantage. Again, good news. When I read this, I understand that despite all the difficulties that bitcoin is experiencing at the moment, the situation is still going for the better. In small steps, we are approaching the point that electronic money will become as equivalent in the ordinary world as Fiat currencies. It is a matter of time and it will inevitably come. |

Great news! The more institutions accept cryptocurrencies as payment, the faster bitcoin will take its place at the top of the financial market. It would be convenient to enter the cryptocurrency payment function through a cold wallet (using the same method as credit and debit cards). This would make payment much easier and more businesses would use cryptocurrency as payment. |

some time ago someone contacted me via telegram, he asked my help for the BTC asset withdraw on a jackpot site. then I decided to help him, when I wanted to withdraw the assets instead I was asked to deposit, after seeing the problem, I contacted the person again and apologized for not being able to help him. but the person was angry with me and asked for compensation. so before something similar happens to you-you should be careful. following I include the jackpot site link. https://bitcoinbetx.com/Not entirely clear. You were asked to make a Deposit to a bitcoin casino site, and when the site refused, there were problems with the person? In your place, I would not participate in such adventures, because then there will be a lot of problems. In court of course you will not be served, but will always be able to ban or earn a reputation as a fraudster. Be careful with strangers on the Internet. |

Many believed that the inventor of Bitcoin wants to remain anonymous to avoid legal consequences as what happened during 2007 about E-Gold, one of the first digital money (Bernard, 2017). On the other hand, I think it would be better if the founder of Bitcoin will reveal his identity since many countries recognized the essence of this cryptocurrency.
If this might happen, it will contribute for more development of digital currency and regulations in Bitcoin procedures. Also, the acknowledgement must be given for the person who invented the most efficient digital currency in our society.
What are your thoughts?
I think that as soon as this person reveals his identity, his life will change dramatically. And he certainly does not want to, if he used to work in a quiet atmosphere for the benefit of all mankind. Media interviews and government interventions will begin. That's not very pleasant. Plus, it seems to me that the developer is not alone - bitcoin certainly came up with a whole team of people. To do this in one person-you just need to be a genius. |

I have been waiting for the appearance of such projects on the market. News on the blockchain system is really a huge step forward for all mankind. This is really what we've been missing all this time - completely transparent news. You need to label the sources of news on the subject of fakes and subsequently filtering. Standing ovation developers, because he has long suffered from this problem. |

The continuous decline in Bitcoin prices may make investors very nervous and many people have lost confidence in Bitcoin as well as crypto.
This is a very normal psychology and nothing strange in life, in any field, there are two emotional state is governed by FEAR and GREED.
Especially in the financial market, not just the crypto market, when prices are rising, people often feel GREED, focusing only on positive trends and never thinking about trends. Negative, when the price goes down, then the person feels FEAR, then focus only on the negative trend and never thought that everything would be positive again.
Talk about this for people to imagine that believing in a current trend is only relative and timed, so look at the market trend with an objective eye (out-of-game) so that If not, then it will not be absorbed in the psychological game of the market. Finance is a game of psychology!
What do you think about this?
I think that the psychology here is quite simple: if you are guided by Analytics, statistics and knowledge in the financial field, you act on the basis of rationality of mind, then everything will be fine. And if you are guided by emotional intelligence, then with great probability you will be waiting for the loss of money and psychological attitude including. Use your brain, friends! |
