Do you still bother to engage non Bitcoiners?

[romero121]

I have tried to educate non bitcoiners about the true potential of the technology. By the time they started using it and realized the truth in it. This way some continues to use it, rest that left it without experimenting now feels bad of missing such a big opportunity of profiting. When people finds the possible way to get profited it is easy to make people get into bitcoin.

most people want to imitate someone's success. at first they were not interested, but once they learned the results, many wanted to learn. even many who want to get instant results like people who have succeeded in the crypto world. if like that usually they will be disappointed with what they get

[Rooster101]

Some of them are open or willing to learn the basics of cryptocurrencies but it will take time to understand it fully. I'm only willing to engage non bitcoiners who are also willing to learn and be teach. Some of them are reluctant to invest in bitcoin because of fear after hearing the news that bitcoin is use by the scammers to victimize people. Educating non bitcoiners is difficult especially if that person have zero knowledge on cryptocurrency and still doubting so it better to avoid them unless they show strong interest to learn.

I still bother to invite them get involve in cryptocurrencies but I don't try to impose my beliefs in them "too much". It's always up to them whether they believe or not. I have some friends get into this forum but they didn't try to even get money from bounties because they said it is taking too much of their time.

same bro, I invited some of my friends to know about bitcoin, how I got money maybe for the first time they were interested and then I taught about bounty, they were excited with the payment given but only a few weeks they were lazy and said "just waste time" . It's useless to teach them to waste time.

So now if a friend wants to know about bitcoin, I want to see his curiosity first. Are they just curious or have the determination to try.

One should not try to convince anyone of anything, especially when it comes to investment. If a person follows your advice and loses money, he will blame you in it. Cryptocurrencies are high-risk investments and here everyone decides for himself whether to buy Bitcoin and wait for the bull market or not to be interested in the cryptocurrency industry at all.

[Blackdeath]

I was perusing another forum today with a long running cryptcurrency thread. To my non amazement they're still debating the nature of the whole thing in the exact same way they were 2-3-4-5 years ago. The same people are waiting to be convinced. The same people are trying to convince them.

This strikes me as a complete and utter waste of calories. I'd rather let people believe what they want. Me convincing them won't help anyone. They're not going to convince me of anything. My attitude is - crypto is here. You may as well sit back and see what happens as nothing I do, say or listen to will change it.

Are you still embroiled in debates with friends and internet creeps or have you let it slide?

As my part, at first of course I will do my best to persuade all the non bitcoiners to start investing on the cryptocurrency, but if they don't want to believe then I will not push myself to them and force them to use and invest on the crypto currency. In my side, I said all the things that can persuade to the non bitcoiners.

[NavI_027]

Like what I always say on the diferent discussions here couple of times already, I stopped persuading people to try crypto (bitcoin to be specific). I'm already tired of of being rejected and hear different misconceptions like bitcoin is a scam, their safety is at risk once they used it blah blah. I said to myself that I will now stop presenting my knowledge about cypto, I'll just let my profits speak for me. I know it sounds too selfish but what should I do? Itv seems they're not interested at all.

The reason that I see why all of them refuse to invest is the risk. I realized that people want to get outputs in a sudden but don't want to give inputs at all .

I was a serious preacher of Bitcoin to the commoners or the newbies but, was almost slapped by one of my closed friend who once invested on a Ponzi Scheme that pretend to be a Bitcoin legitimate investment platform. Although, his argument was based on the facts with him, later in two moths after the hot argument, i told him where to invest and he made his profits. Sometimes we should be patient with them and guild them because, they are still nobs even though they look matured.

I remember the story of my two officemates who questions me long time ago about how bitcoin works and how bitcoin is not a scam. One of them believes in me and the other has a close minded opinion. Now, that co worker who beleives earns big already and the other one has a difficulty in earning because of greediness and stress of being behind.

Based on my experience, the more we convince them, the more they hate us, at the same time, reject our proposals. That is the way how human mind works often. So in order for me to win an argument, I give them results, that can make them believe what the truth is. In terms of arguing to some people about bitcoin being scam or not, I better show them how to cash out fiats from btc, but with them having a hope that I will tell them information if they are ready to accept it. If still not, then I'll stop the conversation.

[jakoylantern]

For me, sometimes I embroiled when trying to convince a friend because a friend also helps/introduces me what bitcoin is, what are the benefits and advantages that you can have, and more. But when I come to other ppl that non bitcoiner I just explain my part why I believe in bitcoin and if they don't  want to believe to the things that I have said/ done I don't force them to believe I will not convince them, we all know what is the reason why we believe in bitcoin so if their perspective of bitcoin and other cryptocurrency is a scam or negative thoughts so be it it's their lives.

I dont actually convince anyone to know bitcoin because it is somehow technical so its hard to explain the features and other good thing with regards to cryptcurrency. It is somehow good when you actually convince one person maybe he will understand and try to invest and that will really help the community. More investors more possibility that crypto pumps and thats what I think.

[KennyR]

Even now people are with the fear of using bitcoin, and this is due to the negative things that's been shared about cryptocurrency. Among the common people very few try to analyze and take decisions, while majority go with the next one's decision. I try to convince people describing the truth of circulating negative news. Further its their wish to continue or stop using it.

[pant-79]

Yes I still do, sometimes even people who are already using bitcoin gets into the argument about whether it would stand the test of time and I also engage in the argument, I love convincing people about Bitcoin, I like letting them know that it is the next step in the evolution of money and I have to admit that I do it for selfish reasons as well because I hope to one then tell them "I told you so... Atleast to those that refused to be convinced.

There is no point in convincing anyone about the market, all you can do is to introduce them about the bitcoin market and then the decision to invest in it must be their sole discretion, when i first heard about bitcoin even i was not convinced about a decentralized market but when the price rallied a few times and then i understood the potential of entering at an early stage.

That doesn't mean we should stand idly by when someone talks shit about the thing you do and are interested in.
I sometimes engage these people. I don't try to convince them to invest but persuade them that Bitcoin is not a scam and it's not some crazy idea that won't ever work because it works. I always argue with brainwashed mainstream media followers who repeat dumb headlines. Bitcoin is used by terrorists, bitcoin is used for child porn, bitcoin is a black market drug money these are one of the most common ones.

Actually, it depends on the person if he really wanted to learn everything even the market's status.  It has really a point because not all of them appreciate bitcoin because of the price, bitcoin was already attractive to intellectual techy persons who wanted to learn and study it.

I have fellow mates here that attracted to bitcoin because of the blockchain not in the price value and because of that, they learn everything and earn a lot because of that knowledge. You can do everything in the power of technology, not just only by investments.  

[Pearls Before Swine]

Agree, and I've never argued with anyone as to whether bitcoin is legitimate.  Either you get it or you don't. 

Most people I talk to are roughly my age, which is probably over the average age of the typical bitcoiner.  There is no need to try to convince them that bitcoin is worth investing in, using, or whatever else.  It is going to be the current generation, the millenials and the ones that come after them, who will be responsible for bitcoin's success or failure.  Chances are that they'll understand bitcoin and carry it forward, just like any new technological advance.  Hopefully they'll find a cure for cancer as well, but that's another story.

I recently realized I can only convince people about bitcoin when the market is bullish when I tried convincing people to buy bitcoin when the market is down or even bearish the people say all the negative things they want about bitcoin but when the market started doing well many people tend to believe what I was saying about bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

For me, I don't do any convincing talk this day. It's a waste of my precious time and energy. After all these ones acting indecisive won't give me the money they are likely going to make once they key into the whole crypto thing. I only talk about crypto among friends once I know it is a loose conversation. If it's anything serious, I keep crypto to my chest and rather don't talk because in the past a lot of these friends never believed me about cryptocurrency.
