How can we explain that the bitcoins is not a scam

[karmamiu]

          The way you deliver your statement is not really clear what you are trying to point out, the only thing i understand is that you were trying to say that there's a propaganda in a television that was bad mouthing bitcoin yesterday. I don't think so, and besides you don't have to explain it them why and what, just let them find out for themselves, and if you are going to convince them about bitcoin, you are just forcing them to believe you, and you are just proving that bitcoin has no difference between those ponzi in the internet.

We can use names of the personalities that are popular for starters.
Then we can use some examples of the testimonies of people who already profited from it.
Also, make an example of the people who are using it for deals and transactions.
You can use yourself to make it a lot better.

[Persiville]

We don't really have to explain ourselves to their shoes, besides we have witnessed how bitcoin had given us opportunities and so much other stuffs, so why do we have to explain? If they are not interested about it let them talk, do not explain further, you're just wasting your time to those who don't even want to listen any single word you want to say.

Bitcoin is far from scam. It is not worth it to call bitcoin a kind of scam. The television host was not educated about bitcoin so this is what they thought about bitcoin. They talk about what they do not know and they are wrong about that. Bitcoin is a source of extra income generator and many of the users are experiencing the benefits of bitcoin and if bitcoin is a scam, then it must be banned from being used but we can see thag bitcoin is still prospering and the number of users are still increasing so it is not worthy to be called a scam.

First don't bother to answer silly people's questions or people who are considering bitcoin a scam,fraud schemes and ponzi schemes. Bitcoin has hater and lover both and concentrate on how you can benefit from bitcoin. Secondly if they are close to you and if you want them to share for any reason then make sure that you know enough things about bitcoin and their pros & cons so that you can answer to their questions in much better way. Just show them the important links,blogs and websites on bitcoins which will clear the confusion in their mind, And if they don't believe it then leave it and concentrate on your business and not on them.

First thing is what the host said is not a fact but purely accusation, if it was a fact then it should be backed by information about bitcoin but did the host said that? I think not, most probably what this host reported is just about the ways on how bitcoin was used of course there are others that use bitcoin for illegal activities and if you are in the media business it is much better to tell something bad about it just to gain more publicity. Best advice i can give you is to do your own research dont believe what the media is telling. The media are backed with prominent people who is gaining more from them.

There are many people that still consider as investing in stocks as a "scam". I believe you cannot change the mind of such people by explaining bitcoin, but obviously it should be the first step to be done. The better way is to let such people experience what bitcoin is and how straight-forward it is to use... They don't even need to exactly know all the details on how bitcoin works. The speed at which you can pay people at the other side of the world or just around your corner is the same, but only by using bitcoin they can feel this.

[Bergiolia]

Bitcoin is likely a scam for those who are victims of scammers through Bitcoin so blame it to the people who first introduced it to them. People were so obsessed to get rich instantly so they're using Bitcoin to scam.
But the more effective way is to educate them on a proper way like introducing them this site forum and give them some links like YouTube and Bitcoin news.
Earning Bitcoin's requires no hard earned money but patience.

Base on me Bitcoin is not a scam how can u said a scam if you can earn Bitcoin with your time effort and being a positive person its on you if you involved in something that can be scam you.

[olubams]

This is one of the simplest thing to explain to anyone because even without bitcoin, the moment you are greedy, you cab easily get scammed and the same thing applies to bitcoin. Never be too greedy. The moment the explanation is sounded live and direct to anybody coming into bitcoin you don't even need tonbother yourself because one thing is that you cannot control the behavior of everybody but you can control your own response to whatever you see.

[Bellator]

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.

You are right mate. He should never pay attention of what others think that bitcoin is a scam it only brings stress to him, those people who have give negative critics to bitcoin is surely did not fully understand of what is bitcoin. Going back about the TV host who aired about bitcoin and give it a negative image maybe it is not fair to published their negative opinion nationwide without thoroughly understanding it. Yes bitcoin can be use to scam, everything can be scam if used abusively but for us who are a bitcoin earner we really appreciate the goodness of bitcoin and we are always encouraging all of my friends to visit bitcointalk forum so that they will know the world of bitcoin and to make them understand that it is not a scam.

Maybe the television show you're watching is less information about bitcoin. It's easy if you explain that bitcoin is not a hoax, show everyone that you can earn money from bitcoin, show me proof that you are successful with bitcoin. That's enough if somebody doubts the bitcoin.

[Thanasis]

If If a person can't understand or comprehend the idea and seeing someone taking advantage of it, he will suspect it for an act fraudulence.
Then the answer to your question would be: Don't try to explain Bitcoin to skeptic persons, someone not interested to it, a troll or a retard.

It's better not to explain if someone think bitcoin is a scam,you don't have any advantage over proving about bitcoin to someone.But if you still want to teach him about bitcoin first show your bitcoin wallet and transaction details to the person who you want to explain because action speaks louder than words.Then he will understand the value of bitcoin in your country then he will do research about bitcoin by himself because everyone want to be rich in this world.

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.

Honestly speaking i dont really mind on how they see bitcoin. Many of us experience scamming but then again i dont give up im still fighting. I think it is better for them to experience to deal with bitcoin first and its up for them on how they judge bitcoin.

[Pursuer]

sometimes explaining things that are way too obvious are much harder than explaining other not-so-obvious things. it would be like explaining to someone why earth is round and not flat!

these TV hosts are usually uneducated about bitcoin and the program's writer never did a proper research about bitcoin. they probably did a quick google search about bitcoin being scam and found some poorly written article which are a lot these days and copy pasted the test for their next program on air.
you should know that these type of programs on TV don't have that much of an effect on bitcoin and its adoption really.

Technology has taken over. Its there in revelations. Cash holdings is outdated already.

But do you believed bitcoin is a scam?

Well its gonna hard to explain to the people specially those who are very close minded one who thinks that bitcoin is a scam or pyramiding scheme. So If I where you, will not bother to explain and point what bitcoin is. Is their lost if they believed what the TV host has said about bitcoin. That's how media portray bitcoin by the way, so don't be surprised by it. Because the more you explain bitcoin to others, the more they think you are crazy. . Let them discover what bitcoin can do to them. They will soon realized that bitcoin is not as bad as they think.

[Harlot]

Would you mind telling me the name of the TV show you have just watched? Because it is really bad that Bitcoin's reputation is getting hurt by the mass media with this kinds of reporters and program hosts that don't even know what they are talking about. And of course being what they are people will automatically believe them except for people who know Bitcoin of course. The only thing we can do is to right our own blog or burn this reporter in his or her social media account.

[Juliedarwin]

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.

In my side,really hard to explain people who think bitcoin is a scam.Doesn't need to show them what the bitcoin purposes and what have bitcoin given to us.We need to work and work from bitcoin,and doesn't have care about others what the profit do we have monthly.
