I've convinced them by first telling them that Bitcoin was not and never be a scam. By telling them how it works and how to earn with it, its hard to make them enlighten how and what Bitcoin and its Community is. Although its price now is high, I'm telling them that it is not yet its peak and that would be high up as twice the price next year.
Same with you sir.
Have three friends and I also try them to convince to invest in bitcoin.
Actually it really hard at first because they think that it was just like an scam or something like a networking.
But when I let them saw my profit from my little amount of investment.
They become interested. And I told them that, I dont actually inviting them to invest.
I was just trying to help them to have a secure life.

No, it's precisely me who is encouraged by my friend to invest in bitcoin.
He says
He : Why do not you come to invest in bitcoin like me?
Me : I'm afraid it's a scam because it's digital
He : No need to fear. Look, i'm now successful at bitcoin.
And he explained all the details, and early november i started joining bitcoin.

There is one time that I encourage my classmate to use bitcoin and I somehow convinced her because she already started using bitcoin and she is earning bitcoins these days. There is really a risk in using bitcoin but being brave enough to take the risk will not be in vain in future.

Bitcoin has been awesome and will always be awesome. We, who have been involved in Bitcoin since the very early days understand this very well. However, for the laymen, for the people who don't really understand the technical aspects of Bitcoin or those who only watch the mainstream media are skeptic about Bitcoin. Since, all they hear in the News is how Bitcoin can be used for illegal activities and how it offers complete anonymity (common misconception) to people to do what they need on Internet.

Have you ever convinced or encouraged anyone to invest in Bitcoin and did you have success? Of course, since we know that we are giving a good advice, so we would usually advice our own family members or friends about this.

In the past few months, I encouraged some of my friends to invest in Bitcoin. They had a lot of questions about it from technical perspective and I helped them understand. They invested in Bitcoin and are very happy with the returns. And now this information propagates and more people will get involved in Bitcoin.

In my humble opinion, as a Bitcoin enthusiast, we can help understand people the positive aspects of Bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin is still in the very initial stages and those of us who really understand what Bitcoin offers, know that Bitcoin Price is only 1/10th of what it's worth right now.

What are the most common responses you get from laymen about investing in Bitcoin?

Some popular ones I receive are:

1. "Oh, it's already too expensive, I cannot afford to buy it."
2. "The governments don't regulate it, why should I invest in it?"
3. "It's an illegal currency and only cyber criminals use it."
4. "What backs up Bitcoin? For example US Dollar is backed by Trust (all time favorite response Cheesy), but what backs up Bitcoin?"
5. "The market is way too volatile to invest."
6. "You can't really use Bitcoin as a currency."
I have tried to encourage some people around me to invest in bitcoin but I do not do it in a pushy way, because right like you do, many people who answer bitcoin are too expensive and some are afraid of losing their money.

I am encouraging my family and my friends too about investing in bitcoin and what they can really get from this life-changing opportunity this digital currency brings. Recently, i even encourage someone working in money remittance in our place since he started asking me why i am always buying btc and asked me about btc.

Instead of telling people to invest in bitcoin, I'd rather teach him what bitcoin is and how it works. Because telling people who have no knowledge of what he does will result in a failure someday.

5. "The market is way too volatile to invest."
6. "You can't really use Bitcoin as a currency."
I've already encouraged a lot of people to give bitcoin a try and most of them are doubting since bitcoin has not yet been proven legal here in our country. There are some who were convinced and some of them right now are already earning large amount of profit. As they become successful, some of those who I've encouraged before ended up asking me to teach them but I don't anymore, once for me is more than enough.

I did convinced some people. I felt proud and happy for them. Sometimes I just send them regards and asked their current portfolios because I will be worried if they will lost the values of their investments. Some people didn't listen and regretted.

There is no reason for us to convince or encourage someone to invest in bitcoins or learn to earn bitcoins but we can create a good introduction for them and with that kind of style they might get interested quickly when they know how much money they will earn from bitcoins.

I convinced some friends to start buying bitcoins and holding it for long term. Nowadays after the recent price's increasing so many people become more motivated about trading Bitcoin, and I try always to help my closest friends to start working with this powerful crypto currency.

I tried to convince my friends few months back to invest in bitcoins but they didn't show any interest in it at that time and now when they see very high price of bitcoins they are regretting like anything for not believing in my advice and now they are begging me to teach them how to get bitcoins but now I seriously don't want to waste my time behind them.

That's good. I encouraged a friend to get btc and now they worried about the high fees. They happy to make good profit and it helps them in life that way but not to make regular purchases because of the high fee costs.

For those that successfully convince someone to invest - don't you worry about this person coming back to you with a sob-story of 'I spent all my saving on Bitcoin/Altcoins and now I've lost it all!"?

Some people would blame you for the financial advice and maybe even expect you to be compensating them for their loss.

I'm not saying it would be your fault, just saying that some people would be capable of reacting like this....

I tried to ask my relatives about their opinion in bitcoin but to my disappointment, only two of them have an idea of what I am saying. Those two are not even the type of person who have interests in investment and market. They are just online weebs so none of them can really afford even if they wanted to.

Yes I have already done something like that convincing and encouraging my friends to go beyond bitcoin cryptocurrency to let them also experience what I have been currently experiencing and to make them aware that a certain currency like bitcoin was already existing in the world to give people opportunity to gain and change their perspective about the world especially when it comes to cryptocurrency.

Yes people have many reasons to not use bitcoin, but as price of bitcoin crossed $17000,  people ask and discussing about it. So there is no any necessity to convince any one to invest or buy bitcoin.
Bitcoins performance tell all. Peoples have interest in bitcoin and its new way as a cryptocurrency. They want better returns on ther investments.
