What do people around you think about Bitcoin ?

[crairezx20]

The fact is people around me doesn't know what bitcoin is.
Even well experienced and educated teacher also don't know what bitcoin is
and when they hear about it they think that is useless and so they don't care about it.

And also when I gave them the idea what is bitcoin, they were enlightened that this kind of currency is not illegal
like other knows, then now thay want too to make this kind of money in their wallet.

It is just a normal that people are thinking that bitcoin is illegal i experience this because my father said that maybe this currency is illegal but i said it is not illegal and no one can arrest me about bitcoin.. and he said how i can make money with it.. i just earn it online here in other activity and exchange it into money.. now he believes that bitcoin is not illegal..

People around me don't really think of Bitcoin much, or at all really. It's something maybe a few have in the back of their minds but most people don't care about it where I live.

It's not super popular as a currency, an investment, or something for people to just talk about, which is fine and I don't really care about whether to not they do anything with it. Just means there's another potential market.

Well my wife is thrilled about it because I make extra money on the side with my extra work
Bitcoin has changed my life and of course people around me. My father and mother who has no idea how bitcoin works has forwarded me news about it recently because they knew I am interested in it.

[PokerFace3]

Most of people around me know about bitcoin but the said bitcoin is ponzi even i has tell they are wrong but they still not believe it.

Same for me because I tried to explain a few people around me and tell them that bitcoins are decentralized and no one controls it, they made fun of me and said that how can something be generated if there is no owner. Honestly I have made a personal commitment that I will not tell about bitcoins to idiots but only to people who know how things work.

It was long back when i started to get knowledge about bitcoin and when i told this to my friends and relatives they were just joking and took no serious, but now when i am earning handsome of income through Bitcoin and seeing the price , they are also getting interest in bitcoin.

It should all be a matter of understanding the technology and purpose of it. People who ignore important aspects like these end up falling behind, because they only invest when other people are already making money from it, and by that time the market may be in a difficult rhythm to keep up with. Knowledge indeed has a high value in crypto.

in fact many people outside already heard what bitcoin, may they hear on television or on the internet, but I do not know why they do not use bitcoin? maybe they're not too concerned with new technology

Atleast now you are ahead of them. Most of us have this kind of experience about telling bitcoin to someone close to us. Even I was ridiculed by my brother before. They even told me that there is no future in collecting this thing, since they first know that I am getting my satoshis from faucets, and I have no knowledge yet on where to get more bitcoin to atleast make a good extra income out of it. You just have to walk away when they start to talk against what you are believing.

Your brother wasn't wrong about the faucet thing though. He probably have realized how little you're earning from faucet sites that even if the price of bitcoin goes 10x, your earnings are still very little. Anyway, we all have our stories of how we started in bitcoins.

If somebody make fun of what you're doing in the bitcoin world, just let them laugh. Be good at it. Study the things necessary about bitcoin. In due time, you're going to start earning bitcoins and you can look at how much they didn't change financially and intellectually. It's your time to laugh then. But even so, you should stay humble and just continue improving yourself so you'll earn even more money.

Most of the people around me are not yet aware of bitcoin because all they know is social media like facebook, posting, sharing, liking all day. I told them to just explore because we can really make money online but still they don't care maybe I don't have the power of encouragement. By the way, I'm from Philippines.

Ah mate that's bad that they don't want to learn about it. Actually if you really want them to use bitcoins them tell them things like income, profit because they don't pay any attention unless such keywords are used.

I gave a friend of mine some 5$ in bitcoins and he is pretty happily using bitcoins now, so maybe give them some bitcoins from your side (they will return once they get matured in bitcoins)

[naville]

I have many friend that still did'nt know what bitcoin is, they though it was only a token for gambling purpose
that was so sad

[Fireblade]

It was long back when i started to get knowledge about bitcoin and when i told this to my friends and relatives they were just joking and took no serious, but now when i am earning handsome of income through Bitcoin and seeing the price , they are also getting interest in bitcoin.

That's why I don't want to talk anymore to my nearby friends because they are just also laughing at me and they are thinking that I'm involved to any illegal transactions because they think that bitcoin is being used only for illegal activities. But well, I can't blame them and they'll see in the end that many people will adopt bitcoin.

when i star using bitcoin i think there were a few people who know about bitcoin but majority of people were unaware of it. every my family my brother was not ready to accept the fact about bitcoin, but now i think a majority of people are using it and the number of bitcoin users is really increasing from time to time. now i am really getting a very positive response from my friends.

[wxa7115]

Great question!
My family really don't have a clue about bitcoin, won't listen to me about it and i think they are sick of hearing me talk about it but i won't stop.
Some friends are interested but most don't trust it because they don't understand bitcoin or take the time to look into it a little more for themselves.

If more people knew how the fed prints money at will and about the way the whole fiat system really works then i am sure they would all be looking for an alternative like bitcoin.

That would be great but the average person as long as they have a good enough live and they are entertained could care less about the way the world truly works that is why people are surprised when a crisis strikes and they look for someone to blame when in fact they should look at the mirror to find one of the most important reasons for crises to happen, their indifference.

i think they don't think too much with bitcoin and don't believe that bitcoin can help us to have a new investment in crypto currency and can help us to make real money. beside that, they are too scare to get scam with bitcoin, because i know and heard that some kind of investment program is using bitcoin as their payment and is not take too long to get scam by that programs, so people which join in that programs just think that they have get scam by bitcoin and i think its wrong percepsion and we need to change it.

[delliaerd]

I get difference opinion from some people. When bitcoin introduced to them some people said that bitcoin is nice progress of technology, create something in computer which can not copied is really amazing thing. But some people said that bitcoin is just a scam, they think that digital money is impossible to create and adopt becouse they think that everything in computer is copy able. I think they just don't know about what cryptography is. All my family members are thrust to bitcoin although they didn't before.

[nocryinginbtc]

I had some financial advisor for a major accounting firm rant about what a scam bitcoin is.  I just looked at him and shook my head. My fiends 18 year old kid thinks its only used to buy fake id's. Every body has their own viewpoint. But bitcoin is what it is. Majic internet money of course.

[grimmolt22]

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.

They think it is a gigantic pyramid scheme devised to take all of our money..... Until I talk to them for about an hour... Then they think BTC is the only way to survive >.<

[discodancer]

Well, almost eceryone I know, knows I use BTC. I explained it one day to them and now everytime I am on my laptop they ask "You minning bitcoin?" They really don't understand it that much haha.

[avikz]

Frankly speaking most of the people around me doesn't have any idea about Bitcoin. Once I tried to tell my colleagues about Bitcoin that it can be generated from computer mining. The laughed so hard that I felt stupid.

Bitcoin is a Revolutionary Idea and it has the power to change the future of Internet transactions. But Bitcoin is not for traditional people it is meant for such people who can welcome changes.

[goldcoinminer]

In my case, people around me has no idea about bitcoin and when I had the chance to tell them seems they are not too interested as they are more comfortable in having their regular job than to venture for bitcoin for a possible great earning.

I just prove that only open minded people can and will understand bitcoin.
