People around me don't think to much about bitcoin, simple they do not care, but they think that bitcoin is a dark market currency because of many news that we see how hackers and thieves are using bitcoin so they are probably afraid to use them.
I think you should join one bitcoin community, you will be happy with this community, feel good because you can exchange thoughts about bitcoin with your friends |

My colleague thinks that invented Bitcoin video card manufacturers. He also assured that the entire network can be hacked Bitcoin. He can not understand what decentralization. Bitcoin is not anonymous, and all transactions can be traced and find the sender and recipient.
Yet it does not inspire capitalization.
I find it hard to him to prove something.
But there is good news. Our largest bank added bitcoin. He is already in the online banking outside the dollar and euro. Therefore, many are convinced that Bitcoin is not just empty.
PS: Sorry for my bad English.

Yes I also faced similar kind of situations, not with my close friend but with less known FB friend. I started to him after knowing that he has a finance graduation. He argued bitcoin breaks all the eligibility for being money and refused to accept bitcoin in any manner and suggested me to visit yoga classes. |

For some people around me it's hard to understand. They don't understand the technical aspect of bitcoin, some know and understand very well but are just scared to get into it.
So those people just stay in the background, knowing that bitcoin exists but don't think bitcoin has a bright future.

I have to bring this up, because I did not see anyone else say it yet. We need to get together as a group and shut down these scams sites. The question asked what do people around us thing about bitcoin and the answer is that it scared a number of people. I talked to 3 fellow business owners about Bitcoin in the last month and 2 of the three of them started reading about it all and got looped into scam sites and all. Skybtc was running for about 2 months without paying anyone and scammed a lot of BTC from people and people kept visiting the site, getting them paid more for the ads they were viewing when hoping to collect. These sites are giving Bitcoin a bad name to new users and are preventing the good name of Bitcoin to reach the general public. If the first time you went to a foreign country and seen a person of different race than you, if they punched you in the gut and you then watched another person get punched in the gut by the same person, would you trust that race? The same is happening here, people are coming to the Bitcoin country and Bitcoin scammers are taking their money. Then that person who has been ripped off is reading about others that have had similar experiences. Would you trust Bitcoin.

So, what do people around you (relatives, co-workers, co-ed, friends...) think about Bitcoin ? Please, indicate your country, so this way I'll be able to make a synthesis about what people think about Bitcoin. For me : I come from France. My relatives think that it's criminals' tool and that since they can't touch money they don't trust it (note that those same persons are pro-banks, where you can't touch money). My friends think that it is useless and that it has no future. Both of them agree that scare them the most is the Bictoin's price volatibility. So not so positive . I hope that you aren't in the same situation. People who thinks like that are in the most cases uneducated about bitcoin and are blindly repeating scrapes of information they heard on TV. Unless someone is willing to learn what bitcoin is about by himself, you can't really do much. I personally am done with being bitcoin advocate because retardation of some people regarding bitcoin is so insane. |

That it is a pyramid scheme No no no. Go to wikipedia and read about pyramid scheme. Bitcoin has a real value. It's technology. Fast, free, secure and privacy protected transactions around the world. This is all we need in our digital world. |

That it is a pyramid scheme That is why I have hard time talking to people about bitcoin, they are blind to arguments. How bitcoin can be pyramid scheme if there is not central entity, and instead just individuals. In pyramid scheme you are PROMISED that you will earn, with bitcoin there is not such guarantee. In pyramid scheme early adopters are winners and late adopter are losers, in bitcoin everyone can profit from it. In addition we all can use a reliable and decentralized method of payment. |

They just still wondering why "something like a mount of number being something worth".
Honestly, they don't need to wondering like that. If they want search what is bitcoin truly in search engine such as go*gle, yah*o and anything else. We can also explain them by spoken Basically they just people that do not want develop, they will starts using bitcoin when they see many people using it. They are following people but dont want start with their self. Out of my 900+ facebook friends, only 2 of them are in btc related groups/pages. Yeah, there's a long way untill mass adoption or even awareness... I have facebook friends that are really knew about bitcoin but they came from different city with me. They doing trade altcoins same with me. |

I am sorry but BTC is not solely surviving because of dark markets and we need to defend against that reputation. Look on here at all the people who are contributing to Bitcoin and the future of it. There are dark markets everywhere and you can use cash easier than using BTC. I have heard this before from one friend and I corrected them and they are now the proud owner of 122+ BTC. We need to properly inform. |

I come from indonesia , and around me no one has to know about bitcoin , and some people are already familiar with bitcoin . but so many of us are curious about bitcoin , and I believe the future bitcoin will famous. and development is unstoppable.
I know bitcoin users in Indonesia are so numerous, there are more than 50k users there, but it was only 0.1% of the total population of the country so you probably will not find friends around you who are thinking about bitcoin |
