Well, let them laugh. I too have friends who laugh at me because I ever I say anything about bitcoin, does that means I should stop using bitcoin? NO. So do what you feel is good for you and just leave the rest on almighty.

I think you will win in 10 years. In fact we already win, the price was 0.001 a few years ago, it is 444 now.

In a way you have already won. Bitcoin is still here and it's healty too. Healty with a lot of volume and getiing more people interested on a daily basis.

So yes don't worry about them, laugh them in their face.

Exactly, they are laughing right now let them laugh as they are not aware what bitcoin is all about, and at the time or retirement, you would be getting retired very early and they would be still working and at that time you will be laughing at them, So if they are not tech friendly then we can't help and if they don't believe in innovative things and don't want to learn anything new we can't help them.

Let people think what they want, if you believe with bitcoin then go on. "Mind is your business"

yes you right. mind your own business. just show them how much the bitcoin price right now, and someday show them how many bitcoin you have. and i'm sure they will shock.

But the real challenge is making them to mind on bitcoin ecosystem. I made them to think by explaining the core financial concepts of bitcoin in our conference hall just a a friends get together. Adopting or neglecting is their own wish, but I made them to keep on asking me some doubts and they are following bitcoin keenly.
Before I ignore them, after they laugh at me, I would like to tell them what bitcoin is and how bitcoin make your life easier then the choice is theirs.

I have been telling my work colleagues about bitcoin now for about 3 years and they still think its a big joke.  I dont care because i believe that some day i will be the one Laughing......  I think alot of it is people dont like things they dont understand and would rather make fun off it. 

So was just wondering has anyone else on here had similar experiences and how did you deal with it?   Wink

Same situation here with my peers. I have mentioned about bitcoin and even after making them fully understand on how it works and how it copes up with the market price, they still mocks and makes fun of me.

I also showed them my monetary profit from time to time as he price of bitcoin rose upto $400 but still they are afraid of its volatility.

Let them mock at me, I am still contented and I will laugh at them afterwards. Wink

Stop telling them, keep your knowlegde to yourself for now. Because in time to come they will come to you themselve to find out more about the soul-call bitcoins.


What about you? how did you came to know about bitcoins?
Did you just accept the use of bitcoins instantly and push ahead to create wallet? Certainly, not.

I remember, going through pages of a magazine in a local library that explained on "how anyone can become a millionaire with one the fastest growing VIrtual Currency."

I spent time browsing through the pages of this book, At the end i said to myself "RUBBISH" same day i went on the internet to search for term "bitcoins"    every information i got made no meaning to me until 1-2 year's later.

Although, i regreted for not have paid perculiar attention to bitcoins in the first place. You see why you need not to blame your friend's,family or colleague at work.

Because their attention now is channel toward's something else So, for now it will make no sense to them just like buying stuff from the internet make no meaning to most people 10-year's ago.

Everybody has their own time & moment when they choose to accept things.



Thank For Coming Up with such discussion

This is the best advice you could get, just ignore them because if you tell them about it, not only they will think you are some sort of conspiracy theorist weirdo by implying we need to secure our wealth outside the system's enforced money, but after shaming you, they will come asking for help once it goes mainstream and everyone talks about it and wants to get that precious BTC.

Just keep buying while it's cheap and get a good portfolio to get ahead of the pack and them watch them cry as you become a millionaire.

My all colleagues tell me..

But i know.. that i day I'll have a big market and too much profit from btc..
And will be a businessman..
To be honest I dont want to discuss bitcoin with my family,colleages and acquintances until and unless I myself have understood about it like a pro.There's no point in introducing something to someone and leaving them on a mercy of Google to find answers to there questions.I want to get as much knowledge of bitcoin as I can before discussing about it with anyone so that I can answer there questions

i guess i was lucky..

coworkers: very good reaction and some did invest. i still sometimes talk to them about bitcoin (i dont work anymore)
friends: it took me a few months but now most oft them own some
family: they are still very sceptical. my mother bought some and my uncle is interested in blockchain tech now.

no one every laughed at me. some did tell me i will loose money though....well i proved them wrong ;-)

(i bought my first btc at 30$ and was lucky to catch some at 3$ later - i lost most through thefts though)

I think we all have faced or are facing same situation when it comes to talk about Bitcoin in front of new people.I was made fun by my friends when at the start of last year I tried to introduce Bitcoin to my friends.But I remained lucky after little effort I succeed to convey what I wanted and now some of my friends are also got involved in Bitcoin.
