The large percentage of people still believe it is a scam mostly because they dont see the benefits and wont take the time to actually look into it.

Most of the people in the city where I live never heard about bitcoins. I'm a software developer and have heard a conversation about bitcoins among my colleagues, but almost anyone outside the IT is completely ignorant about it.

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?

It seems to me that a lot of people are still relatively ignorant when it comes to bitcoin.

They either think that it is a ponzi scheme of some sort, or a bubble(which they are correct to some degree but they think that bitcoin price is inflated no matter what, even if it was at $100 apiece).

But the recurring theme seems to be ignorance, and/or just "i dunno anything about bitcoin".

Don't try to force feed the idea to them, it's their loss for not listening to you. In the end, these are the same people that will invest in bitcoin to hedge against inflation and use it as a currency, and people who held their bitcoins before them will benefit from the surge in demand.

yeah i will not force them to follow my way, its their decision but i bet that if somehow bitcoin price is jump to the moon and reach the highest price in this year and they know by their own, they will regret and they can not buy even for small part of bitcoin.

i think its because the bad news from people which is not responsible in bitcoin, for example, like you said, they made ponzi scheme programs, after they got money from their members, they run away and their member is thinking that the owner and bitcoin is related but actually it is not.

if this is continue happen then i think the government will not allow bitcoin to be use for payment and they will forbid people to use bitcoin and maybe they will banned bitcoin from their country. i wish that in future, there will be enlightenment for people so they know about the truth of bitcoin and maybe it is like courses which giving a lesson about bitcoin.

I live in the village. Not many know about bitcoin here. I know bitcoin from the news portal, even in local news suggest to be careful in using bitcoin, well indicated scam he said.
I think too much is yet unknown bitcoin by people even though it was in a village or in a city. because I just heard from the mouth of my brother. According to him it is very useful for him bitcoin and can help their economy and can overcome all their monthly payment. and also very profitable bitcoin for them because they get extra income simply by filling in their spare time to participate in the bitcoin.

There are only few people here in my country knew about Bitcoin but I'm happy that the number of people who knew is accumulating. Some people are now being aware of it. There are some that I know are asking me and telling me to teach them about Bitcoin. I know that someday, it will be fully accepted here in our country.
I live in a developing country. I do not know whether many people know about crypto currencies or not, but in my social circle, majority is aware of bitcoins and they also earn them. One thing that I am sure about is the number of its user is increasing gradually even, if the pace is slow. However, government and banks are still silent on this topic.

I am not sure whether in my city anyone knows about bitcoins or not as none of them spoke anything about it yet and nor anyone asked me about bitcoins and when I told people about bitcoins they said they don't anything about it and are hearing this word for the first time so I think in my city or in my area I am the only one who knows about bitcoins.

Nobody in my country have no idea about cryptocurrency, fork, bitcoin talk or bounty. Ok, better to say 99% don't know about. So I think  it is  good market for development and let all people know about this. People in my country will think that I am crazy and reaction wili be reaction will be unpredictable.

I can't boost of five to ten people whom has given me any positive response to the information I gave to them, they always think and say it is not a way of getting what they want at the time they want it. So, due to their negative thoughts and ideas they bring it makes me borther myself on talking to people who are not interested.

I think in my city people only understand that bitcoin have a high value right now and it's even hard to find a person who knows what is bitcoin. People are scared about new techonolgies and investment to cryptocurrencies, that barrier should be crossed by giving a people better payment and there will think about investing in token

Well i think most of the people out there in my city are still extremely skeptical of bitcoin.

Many people, including my friends have questioned me whether bitcoin can buy anything at all. Their main concern seems to be the thing being hacked, or the owner suddenly pulling a scam, leaving bitcoin valueless.

This can't be further from the truth, really.

If you know about bitcoin, you're already extremely lucky. Good on you for aat least attempting to convince that guy to get some of his income into btc, it's going to pay off for him in the long run.
Yes, skeptical, that’s how they feel. Most of the people I meet always feel like Bitcoin is a very risky investment, therefore they shouldn’t get into it and other similar stocks. Not everyone thinks the same, there are also people who thinks it’s the best stock, and are rushing into it as long as they have the opportunity.

 It just like in my city but I don't think they're interested about it. A few people only ask me about it even if they know that I have bitcoin and I work for bitcoin. Maybe next year if the value of bitcoin will go higher and higher and it will be really popular in my country I would expect that they would ask me about it.

In my city very few people know about bitcoin and many are just still afraid to use it. Bitcoin still does not inspire confidence in many people and they are not in a hurry to study information about it.

mostly in my area they know bitcoin and some of them are investing bitcoin .. some others they are doubting bitcoin because they think just throw money away. For those who invest bitcoin .. they know from the internet world .. because many on local television that preach about the advantages of investing bitcoin. now they benefit from bitcoin results .. they realize that bitcoin is a good investment. And very profitable

I live in a small city where many people are still traditional and many of them have never heard of bitcoin. Those who have heard often think that bitcoin is something illegal and made for criminal activities. Unfortunately, this is not the story only in my town but probably in many of them all around the world. I think that bitcoin is still not promoted enough and in many cases is limited to highly educated people in large cities.

Lol, in my city or even to be fair, in most of my state, people either really are ignorant about BTC, don't know about it or think that BTC itself is some fraud/ponzi scheme and are afraid to even touch it. I think the illegal activities associated with BTC in the past have made them think that BTC is illegal. They are too traditional to even think to adopt the concept.

In our city many people dont know about bitcoin becuase bitcoin not popular to our city. But many of my friends dont believe to me that bitcoin is the answeer to people poorness not totally answer to poorness  but it will give us a extra income to buy anything and to pay any bills . But its okay if they didnt believe to me someday they will realize that they are wrong.

My friends and I practically went nuts when we heard the price of bitcoin increased so much from the past year that we regularly talk about bitcoins when were hanging out. Although that's just from my circle of friends in my community however, they don't give a damn.  Probably because of bitcoin's bad reputation for being used for illegal transactions that's hindering them from learning it.
