How can we explain that the bitcoins is not a scam

[AbyssLagiaz]

In fact it isn't a scam itself. It is a currency in the first place. Maybe they aren't doing sufficient research to understand what Bitcoin really is. It should be looked as a wide currency not just an investment where you just keep placing money at and let it grow or expect nothing.

OP,the sad truth is that watching TV makes people stupid.It`s brainwashing.
I don`t watch TV and i`m just fine.The majority of the people who watch TV are old and not very tech savvy.
They wouldn`t care about bitcoin anyway,because they aren`t involved with computers and internet that much.There are other stupid newbies ,who were scammed by some btc ponzi promisisng 1000% profit and they shout "oh,bitcoin is a scam!".We just can`t make stupid people smart...

I have to agree with this. Here in my country, every news flashed by tv networks are controlled by powerful people. The will filter all the bad things and just let the people watch all the good things, to make them believe that our country is in a good shape. Sad truth is, its not. They want to condition peoples mind in what "should" they know. Forget the important things, focus on the trashy ones. As for about the idea of explaining realness of btc, I also agree with the majority of the answers. Just let them, don't waste your precious time explaining to close minded people. It's their loss anyway.

If someone asked you to explain to them what Bitcoin is and why its not a scam, expect a lot of question and rebuttal because if they are open minded about ideology of Bitcoin, they will understand that Bitcoin is not a scam, the one using Bitcoin is the one who can scam people. Its like a guns, guns don't kill, its the one who uses the gun, so why ban use of gun? Same with Bitcoin. Same with ICOs.

Only yesterday's television shows here in our country could be a bad thing when you get involved with bitcoins. I'm so frustrated that the tv host has shown that bitcoins are a scam. Because of the fact that he has made many people will definitely not try to enter the bitcoins yet. And because that would be like an investment scheme that looks at bitcoins. That's not really true because bitcoins used to do bad things. And what I was most disappointed was that this tv host did not say the good side of bitcoins.

Now my question is how we can explain to those who watch tv that bitcoins is not a pyramiding scheme.

If you want to explain about bitcoin just explain to trusted people becuase as my experience i always recieve a laugh from them becuase they're not believing they said that bitcoin is only a scam but its okay for me because someday they will regret!

[xCryptoManiaX]

ANybody who is not an idiot can see that it is not. If its somebody that keeps believing that even after I show him in depth Bitcoin its not really worth it to try to change his opinion.

The first thing you have to explain is that no one owns or controls Bitcoin. When something is a scam, there is always a leader, or a group of leaders marketing the scam. With Bitcoin there is no such evidence as this. Also Bitcoin is decentralized where all scams are centralized in some way, thus leading to failure. Failure is always imminent when a money system is centralized.

You don't need to force them to listen and believe. Don't bother explaining. Scam is what we are afraid of when it comes to online business. What you need to do in that kind of situation is just to help those who are interested and ignore those who don't believe.

it is also difficult to explain because it is spread over the television but if they see the real evidence what we get from bitcoin what they still believe the news is on television for me the real evidence what we get is able to convince them

If you tell people who believe that Bitcoin is a scam that there isn't a central authoritative figure, they will likely start feeling even worse. These kind of people somehow can't understand that if things aren't controlled or issued by whatever government or central bank, that it doesn't automatically make it a fraudulent tool. Best is to ignore these people and let them continue to believe in their nonsensical logic that will never bring them any further. Seriously, if you're not open to think further/beyond your own logic, you will never be able to open yourself for something new and improved.

only by informing people with knowledge about bitcoin, the more they know the more the people wil realise how big blockchain is... But mostly is because of governments, who lie and display bitcoin in a bad way...  But don't worry, some day BTC and other blockchain values will be used over the world, and the price will be such high that people will hit themselves on their heads, why didn't they buy some BTC.

Fake news and propaganda. That is the two main enemies of bitcoin. The only thing we can do to prove the truth about bitcoin is our long term investment earnings. Let those ignorant people think whatever they want while we all bitcoiner will be happy in the future. It is because even with bad rep in the media, bitcoin is still in deman in the online world.

[marcuslong]

If they believe that bitcoin is scam then believed it we can't force people to believe unless they're seeing us earning real money while using bitcoin you were earning why they thinking about losing money ofcourse if you want to earn you need to face lots of risk before making a great success. If you don't risk then you were nothing n life you need too.

First its hard to understand your English .OK come to the point. For those who think bitcoin is bad and fraud,scamming ETC, They're not aware about the real power of bitcoins. They've never ever tried it believe me. Every media is involve with false news we should not trust what media is showing. If you want to know about bitcoin you can search every topics here we don't need to explain about bitcoins. Just thought why we're involve with it of-course the bitcoin is giving us benefits.

[roshanface123]

I am trying to explain bitcoin how it changed lots of peoples life Like pizza guy story and the kid who bought bitcoin with his grandma or moms gift and now he is a millionare. And also showing local exchange where he can convert bitcoin to local currency.

[bodikuk]

First i will explain briefly about the bitcoin,i will explain all countries legally accepted the bitcoin.bitcoin is useful for online transactions.i will make good experience to them.

[yasuoWasakey99]

People have proof they do get money from it you can just search everywhere why do you think people sell and buy bitcoin for a high price if it was a scam i have been doing bitcoin for 3 years and it definitely is not a scam.

Obviously in their perspective i guess because it is the government they are will not allowed the decentralized bitcoin in your county but i guess when it comes in the government i guess it is all about business in the government and they wanted to make Tax in the bitcoin i guess that will never happened because of the decentralized system.

[zarados]

actually, it depends on the point of view of each individual, how they see the current technological developments. I think everything can be linked to scams. there's no exception with bitcoin. Well, to convince people that bitcoin is not a scams? I think it is very difficult if the target people are not so familiar with technology. Simply put, you can show people transactions on exchange sites, and show them that people keep buying them for a large sum to earn profit in the future.

Your English is lousy, which leads me to believe that you're in a country that I don't give a shit about--and that includes your television programming.   Not that you mumbled enough details to give us any idea what this program said anyway.

Who cares what the great unwashed masses think?  Your country probably has a large proportion of those, so don't waste your precious time trying to communicate the greatness of bitcoin.  You'd be ineffective anyway, methinks.  Grab what crypto you can, and when these booger eaters finally catch up, you'll be balling.

I think it depends on the will of the person who wants to eaen money. A person who has eagerness to earn money is a person that whenever it is too risky he or she has courage to still work for it. And i think scams  is because of those greedy persons who only wants their goods and money.

[Sowik]

Anybody with basic sense can see that it is not a scam, not worth it to show the others.
