So some of us have girlfriends, significant others, wives and partners that are very important to us and whom we love. What does your significant other think about Bitcoin? I'm really interested in this!  |

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

3 words usually, risky, not safe and useless. (As in I can't even use it much real life or online)

A scam will be a scam.
It won't sustain in long run, cause they can't make $ for you at all, they don't have any business model or investment plans to make money grows.
All they did is use other people's $ to pay other users, so those who earned $ is just from other victims... in short a vicious cycle.
People KNEW, but they just dump their $ in hoping for a miracle.
Maybe I have to give another example for people who can't understand.
It's like- Going down to dirty sewers looking for fresh air.

Luckily I'm surrounded only by intelligent and attractive women...  When it comes to Bitcoin I've only had positive responses. When I talk about Bitcoin, I focus on what you can do with it and on the superior security aspect of really owning your funds. These are arguments that are universally accessible, even if you're not interested in the technical details. Demonstrating how to instantly move funds around the globe to buy some product from a stranger on another continent appeals to men and women alike. I know of one lady actually buying some Bitcoin after considering the benefits... ya.ya.yo! |

In a few years when this takes off and you own some wealth because of it, you will be the greatest for them. "Oh you're smart, so much ahead of your time, looking good, I want you baby!Now! Marry me!Let's have children!!!" |

The people to whom I explained Bitcoin liked the concept and also saw its benefits. Nevertheless, only one of them eventually invested some of his money into crypto currencies. They always think it is too complicated (usage as well as process of acquiring) or too risky. Still, I like my cryptos  |

As for me,
she actually quite likes it, but she doesn't like if I'm spending a lot of time browsing websites, forums etc. about it

It's funny whenever I talk to my SO about bitcoin because she listens to all of the news reports about the whole "terrorists being funded with bitcoins" ordeal, so whenever she sees me on this forum or doing anything that involves crypto currencies, she actually thinks I'm talking to terrorists and that sort of thing... which every time I have to tell her that I'm, in fact, NOT talking/funding terrorists. I've had multiple long talks with her when we've been drinking about why I like crypto currencies so much, and that leads me to getting into the whole aspect of why I believe the monetary system is a sham and that the fiat system will inevitably collapse... Every time these conversations come about, she always ends up calling me crazy but that she loves me anyway... She doesn't really care as long as I don't risk our livesavings when buying bitcoins
I think that can be said for everyone here... exactly what I'm reminded of on a semi weekly basis lol. |

Damn! That's some serious black and white thinking right there. No way to cure her of that? |

All the big decisions re. finance, are mine. She's happy that it is so. At least for the time being. She has abdicated responsibilty to me. This being the case, if it all goes tits up she really would have no right to complain. But something tells me she will.  |

my significant other was the one who got me into bitcoin lol
I was the skeptical one until she explained it all to me. So not every
woman is against exploring new things like bitcoin.

Damn! That's some serious black and white thinking right there. No way to cure her of that? Haha, I've been making some pretty big strides in changing her ways of thinking... but the fact of the matter is that, like what other people have been posting, she doesn't really see the point of it; primarily because she doesn't see how it is possible that the USD (or any other major fiat for that matter) can ever collapse along with a global economy. I've explained to her the ways the central banks operate and how "creating money out of nothing" will inevitably have to result in some catostrophic collapse... but whenever I get to that point in the conversation, I just usually lose her interest and we end up changing subjects... It's ok though, I don't need her to understand my view point as much as I don't need to understand hers for not thinking with my same logic. |

I have a girlfriend and she is not very technically savvy and I have tried to explain what Bitcoin is to her but she just can't grasp the whole idea behind crypto coins and Bitcoin is still 'magical money on the Internet' for her. In short she is neutral to Bitcoin and really doesn't mind me spending time messing with Bitcoin exchanges and stuff as long as I am buying her nice gifts But if I had a wife I would be wary telling her about my virtual Bitcoin empire |

Damn, that's a little sad  I can only advise you to make her feel that you love her the most in a state of high serotonine. She will believe you, and she will understand what Bitcoin means to you naturally. |

"Interesting". "Future". (not kidding) Very nice! My wife is similar. Has she used some Bitcoin on her own, though, ie. sending/receiving? Mine has never done that so far, although she seems interested. I think there's not enough motivation for her to actually try and use it, she'd probably need the oh-wow-I-actually-just-received-some-btc-moment all on her own. |
