[jerick06]

So I asked my friends regarding their opinions and impressions about bitcoin and their answers made me laugh. One of my friends answered:

"Bitcoin? Bitcoin is used for transactions in deepwebs to buy drugs!"



So they think that bitcoin = deepwebs. So they stay away from bitcoin thinking it was illegal

Another one:

"Its just a waste of time. You will not earn from it"



And when you give him proof that bitcoin is valuable they'll be like "omg teach me how!!" Lol

And lastly,

"Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a scam"



So yea they think bitcoin is fraud and a scam.

It's so funny to think that people who don't have knowledge about bitcoin automatically thinks that bitcoin is a scam because of the issues regarding bitcoin scamming. So yeah.

Most people who don't research something, thinks that Bitcoin is really a scam, it's either they heard it from news or some anti Bitcoin advertisement. And yes a lot of people who's not interested in Bitcoin, thinks that it's a currency in deepweb, to buy some weapon, drugs, and etc...
Lastly, true that when they knew that it's really true, they'll be asking you to teach them, even though they're not interested. Most people thinks that when you invest, you earn and earn and earn, they don't know that there's still risk, that's why when they invest and lost money, they'll say that Bitcoin is a scam.

Couldn't blame them though honestly. Bitcoin "investment" scams are everywhere on social media(especially on 3rd world countries); as well as news about how people got rekt through bitcoin investment scams. So chances are, because of those news, a good number of people would now associate bitcoin with scams. Which is definitely very unfortunate. The only thing we can do is to educate people to not be deceived by those schemes. You see a Facebook post about those schemes, report it. Though I'm not 100% if reporting on Facebook actually does something.

Same accusations and sayings. We should try to look for an alternative ways and solution to use Bitcoin and how to spread it among all people around the world.

Same accusations and sayings. We should try to look for an alternative ways and solution to use Bitcoin and how to spread it among all people around the world.

There is no alternative way to use bitcoin. It's either as a currency, or as a store of value. That's pretty much it. How do you spread information? Speak about the technology of bitcoin, how it can help people achieve financial freedom, and it's advantages. Don't talk to people about bitcoin as an investment and how they're going to be rich or something stupid. If they find the technology great then chances are they're going to invest themselves; you don't have to tell them to.

It is easy for them to judge something based on their own knowledge only from social media or the news from the television.

I dont really get it. There are too much fools right now. They dont look for a deeper meaning anymore. They want it all fast and then thats it. Putting a period on every thing without researching first.

I would get away from those people.

I got one friend also who just judged me. Although I am surprised he is listening to me.

Told him about how much I have and how bitcoin fluctuates and he says "Why not withdraw? You already made a profit. What if it goes down?"

Explained him again and he says he will withdraw if he have that kind of amount.

First, the problem is does he have the courage to risk the money?
How can he have such an amount if he didnt even tried to step up?

He stopped afterwards.

[ashfakur]

It seems ridiculous! bitcoin is scam? Dear it is not true, there are many people who hear different false news or think bitcoin a scam coin! But chasing, it does not know that there are people of a kind who announces various false news about bitcoin every year, causing the market to dwan, and in the scope of those who used to publish false news, they buy bitcoin dwon, and when the market is pumped Then they sell! In this way they make a lot of money by fooling ordinary people by themselves.BTC

[Kprawn]

The answer for this is actually very simple. You have to remember that the media and the movies sensationalized Bitcoin by

focussing on the negative uses of the technology. A lot of the media sell more papers and get more views with sensationalized

Bitcoin articles.    The public is more exposed to the negative side of Bitcoin, because the positive side is boring to most.

We can only counter this fake image of Bitcoin, if we show them the positive things that are done with Bitcoin.

Just tell your friends to read this:

(https://news.bitcoin.com/illegal-activity-use-bitcoin-dea-agent/)

DEA acknowledges that Bitcoin is no longer being used by criminals to buy drugs illegally.

"Its just a waste of time. You will not earn from it"

Of course bitcoin is not free. You need to spend time in order to earn it.

Or show your wallet and let them know how much you already earned.

So yea they think bitcoin is fraud and a scam.

It's so funny to think that people who don't have knowledge about bitcoin automatically thinks that bitcoin is a scam because of the issues regarding bitcoin scamming. So yeah.

Media has something to do with the negative connotation that bitcoin gets. Scams/Ponzi/HYIP.

If you are gullible enough and didn't do your homework then don't blame it on bitcoin. Blame the person not the technology.

[jerick06]

I tried to explain bitcoin to my friends and they're like "yeah" "okay" "ahh so thats how it works" yet their perspective about bitcoin didn't change. First impression lasts ey? They still see bitcoin as a scam, a tool for deepweb and any other else. So sad these people are too close minded.

[davis196]

People usually have negative thoughts about everything outside of their knowledge.
You friends are kinda right about bitcoin.Was it used in the deepweb(or darknet) to buy illegal stuff?Yes,it was.Is bitcoin a scam?Hmmm,who knows?What if bitcoin is just the tool used for the biggest exit scam in the entire financial history?I'm not hating on bitcoin.It's just a different point of view.You have to know and understand the point of view of your friends.

[zolfa]

it was very funny, when I asked people about bitcoin in my village, they answered "I don't know about bitcoin". very sad.

how bitcoin can become a mainstream and uptrend in the future if we still see people who don't know about bitcoin.

[greenvally]

You give a view of people who still have any idea about BTC with a funny way. That’s really happened. BTC need some step to clear this concept of people who have bad view about BTC.

It is just normal for people to think of anything especially if they are not properly oriented with what the thing is. Just like bitcoin, they always hear fake news and most of the time if that information is coming from what they know reliable source, they always believe in it.

[btcluisdiki]

I think it's a normal reaction for those people who had zero knowledge about bitcoin and for some they just do some conclusion just hearing negative news from other people without even trying to make a research and understanding about bitcoin currency. I believe that it will have to depend on the interest of people if they really are interested to participate or not but in the usual case, once they see evidence that you can really earn btc, that will push them to be interested in making their investment.

My parent didn't want me to use bitcoin because they had hear about many scam cryptocurrency before, they thought that it was ponzi or something dangerous. It takes time to make them believe that bitcoin is safe and good.

I think its normal thing if a lot of people still missleading about bitcoin and how bitcoin's usage for our financial life. Theyjust directly judge based on the negative side of bitcoin without knowing the true benefit of bitcoin itself. But, we can still make it sense juts wait a little bit lobger and im pretty sure that bitcoin will be more popular than before and finally many people can realize the true power of bitcoin.

[R21]

Bitcoin running it's own way, anyone can viral rumors it's not can effect over bitcoin run. day by day bitcoin get popularity and many of people everyday know about bitcoin.

Yes, you already know the answer, what you ask is people who don't understand Bitcoin and they only know Bitcoin through television or newspapers. but if you ask people who have been here for a long time and get a lot of money from Bitcoin investments, of course the answer will be different and increase your faith to invest in Bitcoin.

 YES,You're right mate.These are usually the impressions of people  about bitcoin if you asked them,some people think it was a scam and other needs evidence what you've got in bitcoin and others don't really undestand it.The best thing we can do is to let them understand about bitcoin and encourage them to learn about cryptocurrency.
