Because you just happen to be talking to a small community. There are 9 billion people in this world. How many have you talked to about this problem? Max a hundred. There are 8.9999999999 billion people who might be seeing a change.

Dude I was part of the BTC scene in San Francisco. I've met a believer or two. I am one

What do you think/say when people tell you that? Email almost put the US postal service out of business. Eventually, cryptocurrency will lead to the closure of many banks. But it generally takes 2 to 3 generations for a superior technology to gain traction with the consumer. People that don't think it will 'catch on' probably don't understand the genius of the protocol. It's okay. I would just wish them well - or explain it to them - if they are open minded and genuinely interested. ~~

i feel sorry for them, because bitcoin will make me rich some day even if bitcoin die at some point, i'm making profit now, i'll sell bitcoins and jump on the next big coin.

I have mixed reactions on this, its caught on well so far... but I cant see it lasting for a _very_ long time.
The general public are not interested due to there being no safety behind it.
Bitcoin Situation:
Someone scams you - You lose your money
Visa Situation:
Someone scams you - You get your money back
------
I think the only way a cryptocurrency will ever take major hold is if its governed by a major bank or corporation that people trust. People are not going to trust some people they see as geeky programmers controlling their money.
Don't get me wrong though, I love bitcoin, I think its an amazing innovation and would do anything to have it take over conventional banking. I just cant see it happening.

What do you think/say when people tell you that? My brother was one of these people up until about 3 years ago when I gave him some bitcoin. Since then he's made the effort to actually try to understand what bitcoin is all about and how it works. Needless to say, he's changed his tune. With other people though who say they can't ever see bitcoin catching on or whatever, I just nod my head and don't really bother trying to convince them otherwise. If they have some knowledge of bitcoin and still don't want to jump on the train, well, that's their problem not mine.

Come on, let it all out guys. The politically correct are not welcome in this thread. Do you regard them as luddites with no grasp of the future?

What do you think/say when people tell you that? It's been going for five years. It has also barely decreased in prie below the base of £150 after it reached that height! It had also been at a farily stable price for six months before the halving!

You already know they think we're batshit crazy. So might as well just be honest with what we think about them.

They're kind of true-bitcoin is still a niche currency and with paypal and online bank accounts there are less and less arguments to convince "normal" people to use bitcoins over $

I think they should regret, why didn't they collect bitcoin earlier. I have nothing to say to those who say that.

In 1993 I clearly remember people saying the Internet was a fad and wouldn't catch on.

Agree, they are the people crying now because they didnt try the best oppurtunity. If i can back the days that im playing online games, ididnt know what is bitcoin in that time and the price of it is so cheap.. I want to comeback in that year and all of my money i deposit there

bitcoin is like any other technology which is new and it is going to take a long time to catch on.
a couple of months ago steam didn't even want to accept bitcoin , now you can charge your steam wallet, or buy games with bitcoin.
soon all those businesses will also accept bitcoin and remove things like shitty paypal from their site.

to the moon with bitcoin...

I would say that they may be right, but it could be a new technology that catches on like internet, email, or twitter. We just don't know but is could be a great investment for those that get in earlier rather than later.
