Dispelling Some of the Most Common Arguments Against Crypto

Once in a while, every crypto-enthusiast will run into somebody who is skeptical of the industry altogether. People like this usually have never invested before, or did once but lost their money. As somebody who cares about the field of cryptocurrency and has invested several times in the past, it can be mind-numbing and frustrating to hear the opinions of people who have only ever read headlines and soundbites regarding the topic.

Make note, it is reasonable to be skeptical of cryptocurrency and present some well-researched arguments against them, but the people being referred to here are those that know very little about the industry and have no noticeable desire to get acquainted with it.

Here are some of the most common arguments you will hear against cryptocurrency (either from people you know or from news outlets) and some simple responses to them.

“Cryptocurrency is a pyramid scheme.”
Occasionally, I will run into a person who claims that cryptocurrency (or more specifically bitcoin) is a pyramid scheme and that only those who were first to the market will be able to make a reasonable profit from it.

While it is true that the earliest adopters of coins like bitcoin and ether have seen the most significant increases in their profits – this does not make it a pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes are structured so that subordinate investors must pay or hand over a percentage of earnings to a higher level investor. This is not the case with cryptocurrency— if you head to an exchange to buy a coin, it is possible you will be buying from somebody who is at the same level as you (i.e., they invested around the same time you did). This is not possible with pyramid schemes since the only way to make money is to recruit new members. With cryptocurrency, you can trade and exchange with new or old investors. Also note, the main aim of cryptocurrency is not necessarily to get new investors since the price of a coin does not exactly rise due to adoption. Positive news regarding programming updates, partnerships, and new features can also just as quickly raise the price of a coin.

“Cryptocurrency is only used to buy drugs and launder money.”
This statement is commonly used by media outlets as a way to discredit the entire industry and the technology behind it. The best way to refute this statement is to briefly explain the nature of the blockchain and the sheer level of transparency that cryptocurrency offers. Most people who do not know anything about the industry get the impression that using this currency automatically masks your identity and your movements.

Explain to them that most coins have a global database of transactions which can freely be viewed by anybody. This, alone, is enough to discourage people from laundering money and purchasing illicit substances since law enforcement, the IRS, and other government bodies can track purchases with more ease than fiat.

“There is no underlying. value”
This is a half-truth. While cryptocurrency does not rest its value on assets like gold or land, it instead derives value from its developers and its code. Arguably, this is similar to how legal tender derives its value from its government and laws. Similar to how a decision or press conference from the President can affect the price of USD, an announcement from a lead developer can affect the price of Litecoin.

“It is too late to make money.”
I have personally found this argument to be said by people who only know of one cryptocurrency: bitcoin. Generally, the easiest way to open their mind is to show them that CoinMarketCap actually lists over 1500 coins and tokens. Of course, only a fraction of them are worth investment, but it proves that the industry is expansive.

New coins and tokens are constantly entering the market, many of which shoot up in price significantly after a while. One coin that has not had a long history, but is valued highly, is Nano. The coin only came into existence in early 2017, but in the space of a little over a year it has risen to the 28th spot. The main reason for this is the team it has and the technology it runs on. Finding a new coin with a great set of programmers and impressive code can be one way of making money in the industry. Of course, it is not the only way. The much larger coins like bitcoin, ether, and monero are still considered good investments now— this is because people still think the technology is undervalued. If that is the case, then it certainly is not too late to make money.

You have a good point about the topic, haters are still there, they will not lost or gone, they will always throw any bash to a thing that they hate the most and even share a fake news are happening today.

They just believed in news which is sometimes biased and fake. We can't stop them from spreading those stories because we cant control them. But I think we can give advice for those people who listen and doubting about bitcoin. If they are posting in Social Media which is for you is not true, then you can argue with it. That way they may know that they are in fault and shut them up. Also we need to say those advantages, benefits and possible risks to everyone and let them be judge if they would still continue investing.

You know what the best way to stop crypto and especially BiTcoin hater is to gave them the information they needed... People keep hating bitcoin because they didn't truly understand the uses of it...  They gaving a negative comment because they are a close minded person....  People who doesn't understand are also the one who will judge bitcoin easily...  We must prove to them that they are wrong and probably soon they will realize their mistakes...

For those who are sure to do, let them explain everything to them, yes it is difficult but they need to go through the big talk or prove to them that you really are paying a bitcoin and that's not a scam, maybe we're not obligated to understand more about bitcoins are ashamed of how and what they are, but because this is the only best way to do it for the future learn how to keep them silent, and it's better to learn how to use bitcoin

The purpose of a haters is to make us angry and when haters do not work, a hater will feel annoyed when he does not make us angry and they will leave. And the Bitcoin haters just passed the wind for me, so we did not have to make them into Silence. We just need to be consistent with what we choose, keep doing what we usually do with bitcoin

The best thing we can do is to ignore them in my opinion. Try to avoid having argument with them since most of them are closed minded. I recommend that you just focus on cryptos because when the time you earn income, those people won't matter. Let your success shout how important and valuable the cryptos in the economy.

I think the haters are still out there and we can't stop them because, they have no idea about Bitcoin and blockchain. Let's introduce to them the meaning of digital currency and crypto currency so that if all of the haters know it already they will invest and make some profit out of it. Either the haters gonna hate to see some of the bitcoin holders become billionaires. Right!

Maybe for my opinion, You do not have to. Why are you still showing them or spending your BTC income? Let them go BASH or DOWN to BTC. They can not do anything about it, just because they have no effect on the market. If you would like to see your PROFIT so they can keep silent for a moment and think about it if they are doing well.

Those haters are hard to shit uo becaise thosw pwople whose idiot has a lot of saying that is really non sense. It is better to avoid them or don't waste your time on those people. Better to mind your own bussiness and make it prove that bitcoin is really worth it and be proud of it.

I think they will just waste our time so I advice that we should ignore the ignorant people. It will be unwise to argue with people who are stubborn and would never accept how wrong they are. I agree that most of their claims are illogical and incomplete. They talk to much bitcoin even though they know too little about it. I think we should all just focus on our jobs and let them see how we will be successful in this market.

This is a half-truth. While cryptocurrency does not rest its value on assets like gold or land, it instead derives value from its developers and its code. Arguably, this is similar to how legal tender derives its value from its government and laws. Similar to how a decision or press conference from the President can affect the price of USD, an announcement from a lead developer can affect the price of Litecoin.

“It is too late to make money.”
I have personally found this argument to be said by people who only know of one cryptocurrency: bitcoin. Generally, the easiest way to open their mind is to show them that CoinMarketCap actually lists over 1500 coins and tokens. Of course, only a fraction of them are worth investment, but it proves that the industry is expansive.

New coins and tokens are constantly entering the market, many of which shoot up in price significantly after a while. One coin that has not had a long history, but is valued highly, is Nano. The coin only came into existence in early 2017, but in the space of a little over a year it has risen to the 28th spot. The main reason for this is the team it has and the technology it runs on. Finding a new coin with a great set of programmers and impressive code can be one way of making money in the industry. Of course, it is not the only way. The much larger coins like bitcoin, ether, and monero are still considered good investments now— this is because people still think the technology is undervalued. If that is the case, then it certainly is not too late to make money.

Just ignore them. There is no point of arguing to non believers because no matter how hard you try to explain it to them they would not simply listen because of close mindedness. Just continue on with your dealings with bitcoin, it is their loss and not yours anyway.
Ignoring them was the best advice. Don't let other people control you. If they hate bitcoin,let them. Just continue what you think is right and wait until they notice your improvements.

I think people will not see your kindness, they just sneer at the shortcomings. You just have to convince them that you have received many benefits from crypto, so they will surely be interested to join.

Silent speak more than talking to such ones,when your investment start speaking on you and your environment, no doubt they will definitely want to understand what you are doing to earn this money.

I think it's easy, you just have to prove it that what you are doing is true for example with the income you get from bitcoin. surely the scorn person will silence by itself and maybe they even want to do what you have done

or they turn to haters because of their own not self reflected jealousness... I guess you can not really change other people, they need to do by themselves.

Why do you want to shut up Bitcoin haters? They have right to hate if they want.

Why would I even try? They're just burdens I am not willing to carry on my shoulders. I don't wanna be stressed out because of these people. They're not my responsibility anyways. The only way they'll shut up is if they try the system for themselves and find out that it works, or show them proof that I am actually earning here. It's as simple as that.

That's it, dont lose some time of yours just to entertain those people whom you know that who dont deserve even a single attention, I just think that those people are the ones who gave up in earning in this platform in which they are tired of trying to be somewhat succee with the help of this platform. Negativity affects your daily motivation to work for more in this blockchain so better to distant yourself in those people and try to do better so that they will soon realized they are wrong about giving the false accusations and speculations regarsing the ways to earn here.
