What would you do when you're talking to someone but then he suddenly talks about his hatred on Bitcoin, what would you react to it?

I've never actually experienced anything like this before, I just want to be prepared when it happened to me.

It’s a belief system & it’s not nessasry for someone to like something just because we do. Everyone has different opinion about crypto ( according to the way they wish to use it or have seen others use it). What matters is that they first know about it. Then it’s entirly up to them to accept or reject. The world will never run entirely on crypto currencies,  there will Be more ways, this is not even a start.

You don’t have to change anyone’s mind, if  it speaks to their belief system they will understand the concept sooner or later. Maybe they create  something better or contribute substantial  because they look at it in a different way.

I just don't explain much when people don't understand the importance bitcoin and try to ignore as well sometimes. I also advise them to keep the paper currency safely and enjoy, that's the only advise I can give them as of now as I don't want to force anybody to enter into a volatile market.

People hating bitcoin! I don't know! is there is anyone who hates bitcoin! The only people who might be hates bitcoin is a person who loses all of his wealth for trading bitcoin! Or something like that. If I am talking with a person who hates bitcoin than I will try to skip the bitcoin subject from our discussion. Because I don't want to hurt anyone who is already hurt.

I've never actually experienced anything like this before, I just want to be prepared when it happened to me.

I don't talk about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies even to friends. I wait for them to open this subject first, only then will I talk about what I know.
Most people, if they know nothing, them don't like it.
If they know a little, they brag that they know it all.

I recall meeting someone who can't stop talking about bitcoin & ethereum. He just changed his fiat to bitcoin and talks like he knows it all.
I asked him the following:
1. how many exchange does he trade into, does he do arbitrage?
2. do you do PoW or PoS - what is your preference to support your coin of choice?
3. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the coin you support?
4. every heard of supporting your project or coin thru bounty campaigns? what's your level in bct?
5. What ICO's have you've participated in?

If they can't at least give a proper answer to these questions, then they still have a lot to learn

There a lot of people who hates on bitcoin and they're mostly connected to banks and governments. Most banks consider bitcoin as a threat to their future. Some government people just don't trust decentralization as they always wanted to regulate everything under their jurisdiction.

I think we should spend time to explain and give them some benefits as well as advantages of Bitcoin to prove that Bitcoin is a good investment. If they still dont like it, its their choices, we can not do anything else because each person has different opinion about 1 topic

I don't know some people hate Bitcoin. Maybe they don't know the benefits of Bitcoin. But I would convince them that Bitcoin is very easy way to how to earn money. Just learn about Bitcoin.

Everyone have their own opinion. Try explaining to them what it is. If it doesnt work, just ignore them. They want to stay behind, we cant stop them.

I'll convince them, if bitcoin is better than paper money
The reason is that bitcoin is not like fiat money with a centralized payment system.
Bitcoin is fully decentralized, transactions can be independently verified at all times
Bitcoin payments can be made without intermediaries, and the entire system is protected by a very secure combination of cryptography
and also, bitcoin can be a futures investment, which will make money  Grin

I've experienced it many times already, but those people who talks to me about their hatred with bitcoin doesn't know a thing in bitcoin.. they don't know what bitcoin is and doesn't even know how to earn in bitcoin. They laughed at me and always asking if I already earned at it with full of sarcasm. But I just laughed back at them and tell them to wait until I earn. Now, they are not asking if I am earning instead they are asking me to teach them how. So this time I am the one laughing at them because my earnings are better than what they earn monthly.

I try to reason with them for a couple of minutes, then just skip the topic then and never talk to them about bitcoin. but mostly, those people have very less idea and sometimes some very wrong idea about bitcoin.

I'm not trying to explain the details of the crypto currency, including bitcoin. because my friends already know something about him and have already formed their opinion about him. I do not see the point of persuading you.

To be honest, I didn't really paid that much attention to bitcoin when my close friends were talking about it. I thought that sooner or later it would disappear like a bubble. I soon found out that it was just more than a fad so I started engaging on conversations with them about bitcoin and this is what I learned so far:

1. It's decentralized meaning no middle men. It's not governed by any banks or government.
2. Since it's decentralized, it's value goes very high one time and then very low. It's fluctuating unlike the current currencies we have like usd, jpy, etc which doesn't go down or up that big.
3. There's a finite number of bitcoin.
4. Bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency.

I'll keep it  short.There's still a lot about bitcoin there is to know. I guess some people really won't give too much attention about it and if they don't like it we can't force them to. Engaging with bitcoin is equal to a lot of learning about it through reading and experience based on my friend who's knowledgable already when it comes to bitcoin. You can let him explain why he doesn't like it and then explain your side about bitcoin but if it doesn't really budge him, then let him be. Don't waste your time to those who's not open to learning about the said virtual currency.

If the person really does not like the development of bitcoin at this time I will just be silent with what they do the most important is to never stop my good intentions and for those who want to learn I will be ready to teach it.

Well to like or hate is a choice so if you are trying to talk your friend or any one at all to bitcoin it they choice to either buy into the idea of bitcoin or not, most times I allowed people to come to me first to show they interest in bitcoin before I educate them and show them how it works. Remember no every body will buy into an idea such as bitcoin since people believe so much on what they can see physically.
