What do people around you think about Bitcoin ?

[Superways]

More of the people are unaware, I told to one of my friend about it, he has a degree in finance but still he was unaware about it, but when I told him that it is very interesting to earn some money and good in transactions, then he attracted to earn some coins with it.

The people around me do not even know what Bitcoin is and if I want to explain it to they do not listen. But when money comes in the conversation they are all ears.

Then tell them what money really is.Give them a bit of background knowledge how money has evolved over the last thousands of years.From barter to sea shells and precious stones.After that from precious metal coins to gold backed fiat currencies and to fiat currencies backed by nothing(including credit cards, checks, paypal etc.).And now crypto currencies where Bitcoin is the first of it's kind!
Bitcoin is money!But it's also way more than just that.

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.

most of my friends and family have pretty good minds about bitcoins, i don't think that they would use it each day,but they wouldn't refuse to use them once in a while,  i know friends that just hate bitcoins, but it is mostly because they tried trading them and lost lots of money, or because of gambling too, ones that didn't are happy of bitcoin

[ThirstyMoon]

Nobody knows about Bitcoin, nor uses it around me. I tell my secret only to a chosen few. Am I doing it right?

Yeah if they have gone through losses in past then they will surely hate bitcoin and will always hold negative mindset towards bitcoin and will not use it again for sure.

The people around me doesnt even know anything about bitcoin... When i talk to family and friends of Bitcoin Mining their faces are like   and asking me wtf is this?. I try to explain them how everything works and what bitcoin is some of them dont understand it  

I was not surprised with what you're talking. I would be amazed when your parents and the people around you already know about bitcoin LOL
even though. I'm proud to be early users of bitcoin. we should try to tell us about bitcoin round

why it should be a secret? i dont get it, everyone should use bitcoin thus you should tell about it to everyone that might ever want to try it as it is the future of our financial system

my friends and family still think that it might never work out though now after 2 years of me using it they look a bit more careful about it and might even try using it

The fact is we don't want that our friends and relatives should know that we are making money with bitcoins and that is a human nature can't help.

People around me don't know about bitcoin is. because in my country bitcoin still not popular among us. only some people know about it, so i think people around me think about bitcoin is just an online points!

You know, most of us are long time on Internet and already tried many ways to earn some money online, mostly without success.
Many of us was excited in the past about some ''big'' earning opportunity on Internet and told everyone around us.
Some of them even joined and lost money, together with us.
After such experience it's very difficult to say again to your friends, guys, I know that you lost money before with me on Internet but Bitcoin is something different, trust me, you will not loose your money here...
It's better not to say anything and just keep collecting your BTC funds.
Once, when bitcoin become mainstream and its value increase a lot you will have some proof for them, but not before.

In our country, bitcoin is rising now slowly. People in my area are not aware of it. The people who believes it adopt it fastly others takes time.

in my country bitcoin is not so much populaire so when i tell my friends about it they are surprised and they want to join but they don't know from where they start even i don't know where did i started back then. they like to join but they don't want to invest so much time in it.

Same in my country... But I think if they don't want to invest time in bitcoin, I think it won't work, they will never know the best things about bitcoin if they are just into earning it and spending...I know someone like that, she don't even know what's the price chart,,Usually they'll just stay in faucets, giveaways, and ponzi investments which in the end they just quit...

I just introduced earning bitcoins via Signature Campaign here in bitcointalk to a friend of mine and he was so inattentive. I don't think he is interested at all. Apparently, we have a local computer shop here whereas the gamers are playing and at the same time they earn bitcoins by faucets and posting here in forums.

I think most of people dont pay attentions for bitcoin for now is beacause they dont see it profitable for them. But if they try to spend time and effort with bitcoin they will see its full potential of possible earnings by this. In my case now my cousins think positive way of bitcoin now because they are earning happy and they made their cashout.

[Sierra8561]

People see my miners and ask about it. For most, it  goes right over their heads. Unfortunately they flat out,  just don't get it. But I remember when people couldn't understand the Internet.

I also do that to my friends, when my friend ask me how to earn money online fast. So i suggest him about signature campaign, and automatically he also learn about bitcoin.

[dothebeats]

People around here personally think that bitcoin is a money-making machine/scheme that they could use to get some extra money aside from their jobs. Also, they don't look at technical aspects of it, instead, looks on its practical value more than the tech behind it.

My wife and mine friend saw the prison of the miners from Venezuela and they said to me that as isnt allowed its criminal,there is nothing wrong on their statement besides the fact bitcoin is free way to make money ,for me is like a tree where we all are collecting the apples,or oranges.In the begining my friend were amazed to be able to get an extra income now he is trying to avoid it and i doubt he will try he is more scared and didnt searched about bitcoin to get his own information.
