How can we explain that the bitcoins is not a scam

[Sendibere]

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.

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.

don't bother explaining it, let anyone who thinks bitcoin is scam, pyramid, ponzi,... continue thinking that way. i want less people buying bitcoin now that i am buying so that i can buy more as long as bitcoin is still cheap. if they start changing their minds now, price would rise and i can buy less amount with my fiat.

and these people will understand how they fell for a stupid FUD when they start seeing "bitcoin is accepted here" signs everywhere. if they happen to go to Japan now, they can see them already in a lot of shops.

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...

Is anyone told that bitcoin are scam? Because bitcoin is money how it is become scam? We know that bitcoin use for some investment so the investment are scam and not the bitcoin but we really know that if bitcoin does use by the scammer, bitcoin mustbe affected and somebody thought that bitcoin must affect.

In my opinion,
 We do not need to explain to people who think bitcoin is a scam.You just have to buy this buy it from work in bitcoin.
And those who consider bitcoin scam.Will feel jealous of seeing you succeed.

We ca not change their mind by simply giving them a proof of transaction. Media is one of the most powerful source of information it can manipulate the thoughts of people in just one sentence saying that bitcoin is a scam in television nation wide can affect their thinking about specific subject like bitcoin. But if you know to your self that bitcoin is not scam you are so lucky than other believing to that news thinking that bitcoin is a scam.

[BurhanPSG]

We can start by telling someone's success story with bitcoin, I think this is the simple way. Bitcoin is not a scam because some people live with bitcoin.
to convince him we need proof, maybe like making money from bitcoin.

It is a hard task t do because the damage has been done. The misconception is already in their heads or at least it has a bad reputation for them now. Another thing to point out is that what we can only do is try to explain that Bitcoin is just a currency that it is so valuable many people are trying to get it in terms of criminal activities and scams which Bitcoin itself cannot do alone as a currency cannot be a scam itself. But even trying to explain that will still make people not believe you.

[Vannie12]

For me we can explain it in a way that we will prove or giving them a prove that bitcoin is not a scam instead we could learn from it and earn in it. If they not really satisfy in our explanation then its not our problem anymore if they dont believe. The more important is you know in yourself that bitcoin is not a scam it's an oppurtunity for everyone.

[Skieleton]

What country are you from? It looks like propaganda. They want to discourage people from investing in BTC. Sad

I guess your from Philippines too, I had watch some news also tackling bitcoins and scam associated with it. Yet since not all people are aware ad fully understand btc even those reporters, they have not make clarifications that bitcoin itself is not definitely scam but only those pseudo investments working like networking or pretending to be trading business operated by fake personalities. So I guess the most effective way to justify that btc is not scam is to inform people that btc is just a digital currency which unfortunately those scammer had chose to be their medium of transaction.

[ghost07]

Me i use my salary to tell them that bitcoin is not scam maybe some sites use it to earn money thats why they scam some people. They need also read more articles to have more knowledge.

How could Bitcoin be a scam?

The only thing I can think of is early on some early adopters acquired tens of thousands of Bitcoins. If someone were to sell them all off, they could crash the market. But would it kill Bitcoin? Would is destroy crypto? I don't think so.

[PalindromemordnilaP]

Media as the mainstream of disseminating news could also be the mainstream of disseminating false news. No wonder why the internet is more reliable today than these stupid false news as far as disseminating of information is concerned. Why bother yourself trying to tell those people who've watched the fake news that bitcoin is legit? Bitcoin is always and always be legit. It's just other group of persons or entities doing some stupid things under the shed of BITCOINS that made you feel that way.

Media is obviously one of the most powerful crate , they have the power to change people's opinion about something,
What i see is that government is behind all this , they don't want people to use Bitcoins, because they fear that they won't be able to tax charges, peek into accounts , the worst part is that they want to control BTC which they can never do .

And coming to Bitcoins being used In bad things , we all know that ever currency had been used to fund Illegal activities.

I tend to be more indifferent to respond to this if anyone ask me if the bitcoin is a scam and than I will answer NOT and if he needs explanation I will explain with the proof.

[Herbert2020]

if anyone ever doubts what bitcoin is you can always show them the reality of what bitcoin is by redirecting them to all the big places that are accepting bitcoin. there are already multiple topics about it and with a quick google search you can find much bigger lists.

my favorite are these: Microsoft, Overstock, Steam, Dell and of course Japan accepting bitcoin as payment. showing them a couple of these should be more than enough for anyone to understand why "those people on TV" are full of shit when they call bitcoin "Fraud"

[LogitechMouse]

Don't explain it to them. Let them explain it to themselves. There are so many proofs in the internet that bitcoin is not a scam, a ponzi, or a hyip scheme and one thing, many people saying one thing as a scam but they don't know the definition of scam themselves or just never mind them. Let them think it.

[miyaka26]

I think I've watched the same TV show about bitcoin and yes they only show the bad side of this currency interviewing a person who got himself involved in a scam investment which is actually happens in a normal fiat currency investments not showing how great and bitcoin is they are always one sided bias mainstream media and it makes me angry even in politics. they didn't understand well how and what the bitcoin is just interviewing a scammed individual and that's it and that may cause a bad impression to the people who are new to this currency.
