A few days ago I invited two of my friends who have small online business to try BitCoin, he asked me a series of questions, after answering all of it and show the advantage of using the Bitcoine he told me it was better to continue to use PayPal as payment method.

Maybe your friend think that there are more paypal users than bitcoins, so for your online business, it sounds fair when he said paypal is a better method. I think you need to explain that bitcoin is not only for payment, but it also can be used in investment too.

I recommend bitcoin to all my friends but the problem is they just say 'why do I need btc when I have paypal?'

Bitcoin is better than paypal, we can send money without fee or very lowest fee, we can trade it, we can sell higher in price and buy again at lower price
more place to invest

Hello everyone, I am "Hobbit" from BitYes, Huobi's BTC-USD exchange. BitYes will raise a bitcoin related fun topic each week and award 0.05BTC for the best answer we pick! Please speak out your fun or useful ideas.
 
Today's topic is How many friends did you recommend bitcoin to? What's their feedback after your introduction? Though bitcoin is regarded as a great invention as internet, a minority of people know and accept it. As a bitcoiner, have you ever recommended Bitcoin to your friends? How many of your friends accept Bitcoin in the end?
 
Please share with us and let's know your extraordinary experience with Bitcoin! We will pick the best answer by 29th of May.

Well, I tried telling how bitcoin works to some of my friends and family members. They seem to be amazed at how things work for bitcoin and I even showed them some of my conversions of fiat to bitcoin and vice-versa, and that really hit them.One of my friend is very interested about bitcoin.

Saw this on r/Buttcoin: "I convinced. A friend to buy in at 1200.... he bpught in big. We arent friends anymore." (link)

Financial advise can be risky - beware of "convincing" people, friends or family about their investments!

And if you have known that bitcoin is better than paypal, then you can tell your friends now and recommend them to join in bitcoin. Don't forget to show them what you have gotten from bitcoin, like the profit or easier method in transaction.

Hahaha, I would shy away from trying to use the "it went to $1200 once!" line when telling anyone about btc.  Dont try to lead people to believe they will make a ton off buying some btc.  It has many other unique qualities.  And yeah, trying to lead friends/family to certain investments is probably not worth it...

I'm found bitcoin for the first glance on my workplace. (thanks for google ) And then I'm start to learn how does bitcoin work and how to earn it.
Once I've learned about bitcoin stuff, I were so amaze. Ofcourse I'm sharing with my office friend. But the disadvantage about bitcoin is it can't be use for some invesment like gold because bitcoin's prize is unstable. So most of my office friend refuse for using bitcoin.

a lot of people was thinking the same thing back then. and many people bought at $1200 and though that the price is going up to $10000 and they are going to be rich over night.
i say that is his friends fault, he got what he deserved. that is the result of being greedy and jumping in something without any prior knowledge.

That's why I never tried to persuade anyone that bitcoin was a sure investment because I was aware of the risks. I bet a lot of people got burnt by buying in at the top during the excitement of the then seemingly never ending rise only to see it collapse monumentally.

You see, when I tried to introduce one of my friends to Bitcoin, I taught them how to make an address. When it was created, he was like "What is this, spam? But afterwards, he did research and stuff, and seemed to be interested in it. I think "Free Money" was the keyword.

There are no free money here. The money that you get is actually you earn it by doing somrthing, like signature campaign, you need to do some posts

so they will pay you or may be selling some of your service. The point is whether in this digital world or in reality there are no free things at all

Free money is always the keyword to get people interested, but like you said, there's nothing free.
What can get them interested tho, is the potential surge in price in the future, if you explain them how BTC right now is incredibly cheap for what it means. Hopefully they will want to learn from there. I started like that, wanting to make some cash, but I became hooked by the technology, it's pretty addictive.

I tried but it was hard for them to understand the concept and how useful is bitcoin.
Then understanding exchanges, buying, selling, trading bitcoin.

Well, first I got into bitcoin from a recommendation from a friend. I was instantly amazed and fascinated by this new technology of payment, so I got into it very fast. In no time, people saw what I was doing and quickly asked, and of course I told them. I've introduced bitcoin to a lot of people, that includes my friends, family and relatives. Most of them, I'd say 95% of them really do accept the use of bitcoin and are willing to get into it themselves. There have been some who kind of don't agree with this form of currency and payment, and believe it's a fraud. I tried to convince alot of them, and some of them invest and buy with btc today! I feel very accomplished to be able to introduce this amazing currency into the lives of others.  Wink
