Wow, many of us also feel the same though. People around me also don't know about bitcoin, they only know about paypal. Well, for some people bitcoin is not popular.

Just recently, while we were having lunch, a friend of mine saw me opening an app related to bitcoin. Then he started telling a story about a news he watched in which someone is being accused of using bitcoin to pay for illegal drugs. That's the most that he's heard about bitcoin. Publicity, whether good or bad, is still publicity, as they say. To the common people with no previous knowledge of bitcoin, it is easy to be misled or misinformed about bitcoin because it makes headlines for all the wrong reasons.

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 Undecided. I hope that you aren't in the same situation.

It's kind of weird what my friends think of bitcoin. They view it as a currency for criminals. They believe that the currency is used only for dealing drugs and shady hitmen. They also don't understand the point of it.

They think that the fiat currencies are great, although they really aren't. They also think that the economy is doing great, while it is really not.

I don't  plan to tell them, cause they probably  don't care and will say that I'm just wasting my time ;-; but it will be nice if they recognized bitcoin as a source of extra income.

Most people around me don't give bitcoin much thought at all. Some just can't bother themselves to lear/understand what it is exactly and others feel like they've missed the boat on cheap prices so they again don't bother about it.

My relatives and my friends express only distrust. They don't believe on its existence or in everything connected with it. As for the thoughts of the people near you are typically the thoughts of them who don' know deeply this invention. Seems difficult for me that people from France have such thoughts for a wonderful product like bitcoin. Maybe have some right regarding its volatility but the last 1 year and half bitcoin have been more stable than to many other normal currencies.

There are allot of people around me wondering why there are so many people are using coins. But by far most of them are not using them they just use gold to pay bills and other things.

The people around me think good about Bitcoin because they know that I am making some money with it. As long I make my bread with it my friends think it is good if that was not the case they would not be with it.

I introduced Bitcoin to my brother and he is thrilled about it. I'm currently teaching the basics about it and he's saying that he's enjoying the process. He's amazed that such kind of currency is existing online. Hopefully, others would see this as an opportunity to learn something which is quite practical especially in terms of financial aspect.

Not more were aware about the technology advanced growth of the digital currency. Most believe this to be something unique which has been created for the purpose of gambling and other illegal activities.

At the first , it quite difficult to convince them so I try to convince them gradually. BUt at the end , they believe that bitcoin can grow more than a gold. USually I start from how to get bitcoin through faucet. Afterward I show them how high it's value so it will attract some attention

Many friends are using it as well and some friends dont even know what Bitcoin is and that is the problem because we have to promote it more so people will get to know about it how to use it.
And other people dont trust it because it is online money so they think that you can be hacked or something.

My friends dont think very good about the bitcoin and that is only because they dont give anything about it they dont buy things online and always use just cash. So they wont use the coin not now and not in the future.

Well, in my area they are not much familiar with it. Some of them have never heared, some of them think that is too risky and to dangerous, some of them that is connected only to earning money.

Most people around me they observed and listened what i said about in bitcoins.  It is because all of them are to see is to believe if i can cash out money from Bitcoins to a real money. Smiley
