What opinion from people out there or people in your city about bitcoin?

[ipanks]

i am really curious about what opinion from people out there when they know from january 2017 until august 2017, bitcoin price start rising to almost $44xx if i am not wrong (maybe the highest price i know). because i see in my city, people don't care about this and they don't interesting but once i read on local newspaper, there are article that giving info about bitcoin price which is increase so high.

but in the last two days ago, i meet new person. he asked me what my activity when i am online. i tell him that i work as writer, trader, and i made money from bitcoin. first he don't believe when i say bitcoin price in the year 2015 (which i knew bitcoin for first time) is $2xx-$300 but suddenly this year, the price is jump too high and now we see the price is some around in $4xxx.

i give suggestion to him to invest his money in bitcoin but don't buy the whole bitcoin but do it like $100 for every month for 6 month and only hold it without learning anything about bitcoin, just save it. i think he is interesting but he said he need to learn to make sure about this. well actually i don't take too serious about this, if he really wants to do it, then he is a lucky guy that i've meet but if its not, then he got his choice.

so, what is happen in your places related with bitcoin? did people still don't care about bitcoin? and how about if you meet someone new and then you make conversation and you telling him that you are trying to make money from bitcoin? what he's respond?

things are the same for me to.
i can say there were a good number of people who knew about bitcoin back in 2013ish when the mining with your PC was a thing and it was very profitable but things changed and nobody knew about bitcoin anymore.

but in 2017 ever since bitcoin price crossed the $1000 threshold and because of what Japan did, many are starting to find out about it. i even see topics on other forums dedicated to discussion about bitcoin and speculation separately.

In my place, maybe just some people know about bitcoin. When bitcoin prices go up because nowadays, many of my friends regret not investing at the time of BTC $ 300. And now, they start from scratch with me. Learning to seek knowledge and opportunities in the world of cryptocurrency

[iram3130]

It's definitely better than yesterday, I must say that. Bitcoin and other top cryptocurrencies are on the news frequently and people are buying more and more recently. What we need right now is merchants start accepting crypto, that'll boost the popularity.

[Immakillya]

They've got nothing to say because here in my country, bitcoin is not that popular. Actually if im going to ask people in my village about bitcoin. I bet their answer is "huh? What's that?". The population here in my village is 1500. And i think only 3-5 people knows bitcoin here. Because people here are not that tech people. Real talk, only 5% of my country (Philippines) knows bitcoin.

But the grow of bitcoin is so amazing. When i joined here in this forum, the price back then was $500-$600 a piece. Now it's on $4000 a piece. For just short period of time. Who thought that bitcoin will go this far?

[FlightyPouch]

With that increase, I did see many people getting triggered by these pump. Most of them bought some coins and some of them regretted that they didn't bought earlier whe  they're seeing it at $1K. Right now many are investing and some are still undecided and I don't know why.

[RomanPetrush]

People started to speak about bitcoin more and more. Some webshops accepted bitcoin as payment currency. There is a lot of news on different portals about cryptocurrencies. The world is changing.

No one really cares about bitcoin here where I live, at least that is what one can say at first but when you look around, you can see a lot of transactions here happening everyday related to bitcoin. Many people are converting bitcoin into fiat and vice versa. No one can just see it clearly because of coins.ph wallet service who offers to send you the money when you sell your bitcoin to them via many money sending outlets and banks. The same applies when one wants to buy so it. I can only tell that there is a lot because coins.ph got an option to cash in to buy bitcoin via 7-11 convenience store and there is a lot of people using that service daily.

[okissabam]

Aside from my family which was hesitant at first, it still is kind of the same. Not a lot of people are still into bitcoin in my area, or not that I know of. But lately my family had told me they saw on their facebook accounts posting or sharing about bitcoin so probably it is much better than a few months ago wherein people don't really believe in it at first but maybe now that a lot of people shared about it then I think they have a little knowledge of it which is great news.

[TIDOVEE]

As far as I'm concerned, I don't have a worry over anyone who needs to be convinced that bitcoin is cool, as long as I know the pros and cons of it is cool enough to make life with. maybe the will catch up sooner than later.

[BrewMaster]

surprisingly well actually!
i have been seeing a lot of localbitcoins activity, and also i keep seeing a lot of websites being created to act as exchanges for local currency where people can register and buy and sell their bitcoin. but the prices are not good yet, there isn't enough competition yet.
in any case the adoption is widespread.

this is what happen to me too sir. in here its only few people which know bitcoin especially if they often to online with their gadget or their computer, at least they know a little about bitcoin but they never wants to know more about bitcoin.

i am thinking that maybe they will regret when they know, i mean they know the truth, that bitcoin price is more than $10,000 and i wonder, will they need to be convinced again like before? i guess they will find me and asked me to explain to them but hey i think its a little bit too late because the price is really expensive to them. but who knows?

[Anfisman]

Honestly in my place still a few people who know or care about bitcoin, I do not know why they are not interested in bitcoin, but maybe they already have their own jobs and focus to their work. However,  if they know the truth, bitcoin can make more money than what they get in their work place. And I think bitcoin is very promising at this time because its always continue to rise. I've tried to explain to them about bitcoin, some of them are interested, but most of them do not care about it.

Well that was a kind of rude. Bro if you don’t care about the people to be convinced it means that you don’t care about bitcoin being popular and to get more value. Boy you must start telling people about it and try to make then ready to start using this. It not only help you but a lot of people who are using bitcoin. And there is no guarantee that they will catch it up or not. So stop being idiot and start advertising.

I live in a big city where surely many people, tens of thousands are familiar with Bitcoin. There is no need to tell anyone because they will find out soon enough. Small towns, however, often lack the amount of technology big cities have and thus find out about things far later than us.

Honestly, people in my place don't have really any idea about the truth about bitcoin. When they hear the word "BITCOIN", the first thing that they'll say is "SCAM". They are not familiar with the uses of bitcoins, instead, they only know bitcoins as scam (like ponzi and pyramiding which is spreading mostly online). They are not well informed about bitcoin's background, its benefits and uses.

First of all most of people don't know what bitcoin is, never heard the word before in their lives.
I've met IT guys who work in some pretty renowned corporation and they have no idea what bitcoin is.
The problem here is that bitcoin is decentralized and not backed by any centralized company.
If bitcoin was the creation of Microsoft, Apple or Samsung we would have global marketing campaigns so huge that everyone would know exactly what BTC is after a year.

[Sir Cross]

Not many people know about bitcoin from where I'm from and just like your experience, they get skeptical at first when I tell them my experience with bitcoin. I would have to show them actual proof of my earning to convince them that bitcoin is real and that it truly exists. Bitcoin is not popular in my city and some are doubtful about it.

Most of the people in my country are still not yet aware to what is the bitcoin. Last year I start a proposal that has a connect to the bitcoin. When I start taking survey I observed that most of the people who answer my survey questionnaires wrote the bitcoin is not true and scam.

[ajmapalo22]

When I introduce bitcoin to some of my friends their first impression was it is a scam they don’t believe that from $200 it jump to $3500 and now almost $4500 but when I show them what I earn from bitcoin in just almost 2 months they got interested and start asking me how to do it. Bitcoin will attracts more people because of the price that it has today.
