Do you still bother to engage non Bitcoiners?

[gentlemand]

It reminds me of all those periodical haters that come out of the woodwork every now and then to tell us how we're all suckers for being here and believing in this beanie baby. Those are really interesting specimens and you can usually find them in bitcoin discussion or speculation. They don't waste time going anywhere deeper and take pleasure from stating the obvious, like those people who gather up when there's trouble to make your life more miserable.

I've noticed they've been way, way less prevalent than 2014/15. At certain points during that period every second thread was started by someone like that. At the time it was still possible to believe that it just might be a flash in the pan that could fade away to nothing.

This time around it's been brutal for many, but the idea of that seems that much more remote than it was back then. Even most of them have figured that out now.

Well, I've talked sometimes with my friends (those who are actively involved in stock trading locally) and explained crypto, but haven't tried to convince anyone to get involved with crypto.

Whenever I talked I've found that some of them have limited knowledge about crypto, its due to the restrictions I believe, they need to educate themselves and some afraid to get involved because of the high volatility.

What I can say about them is that the fear is holding them back, but I hope someday it will get change. They don't disrespect bitcoiners at all or talks rubbish which they don't understands, so there is no chance of wasting calories

I'd rather not, I don't want to be at fault if bitcoin crashes and they lose money.  Money can really screw up relationships, its better to let them decide on their own.

I've debated with a few people that were against bitcoin and they did raise a lot of fair points.  Crypto really isn't ready to replace cash anytime soon.

I don't try to convince anyone of anything. I never really did. I never wanted to expose my friends and family to the financial risks of investing so I never hyped it up. I've always been pretty open about the fact that I use Bitcoin and trade cryptocurrencies, though.

People I know who are into trading stocks or tracking their retirement funds seem to have a healthy respect for Bitcoin now. That doesn't mean they're buying coins and they may still be on the skeptical side, but they know that markets don't lie. That's one of the reasons I never wanted to waste my energy persuading anyone -- it's all up to the market. If we're headed for mainstream adoption, non-Bitcoiners will eventually see the writing on the wall. There's no need for me to convince them. I'm just enjoying the ride.

in my opinion, persuading or inviting other people to buy bitcoin can increase the price of bitcoin on the crypto currency market. if we think logically, if more people buy bitcoin then the price of bitcoin can be increased.
at this time bitcoin traders definitely want more buyers so that bitcoin becomes scarce and traders will increase the price of bitcoin, even though the price of bitcoin is increasing but it will not make buyers afraid to buy bticoin because everyone wants bitcoin.
I will continue to persuade people to join crypto currencies so that more and more bitcoin buyers.

Well, i also like to engage in a conversation with such people because it gives me much pleasure to show them the side where they've intentionally shut their eyes to and i love to do that. Personally, I believe anyone who still stands for no-coiner is just a "negative perosna" They jusr wait to see the beauty aspects hehee.

It is difficult to convince those who are not willing to change. i have talked with many of my friends on the matter of adaptation of bitcoins and its future. Almost 50% of them think that bitcoin will not last long and it cannot be the main currency of the world. We cannot change their minds. I mostly ended the conversation that we will see what happen in future and then you will repent that you did not gather bitcoin now when it is quite cheap.

[BlackFor3st]

In my case, I didn't bother explaining to someone who have no intention of learning about bitcoin or crypto currency as it is a waste of time only.
But to those people who are curious about what is crypto currency, I give them a little advise on what they are going to do in order to learn more and for them to be satisfied with the answer of their curiosity.

Debates is what I really hate as it is a complete waste of time, saliva and effort just to convince the non bitcoiners to believe about crypto currency.

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?

For me, there are always two kinds of people which is the ones who likes it and the ones who don't. I won't please them or persuade them to look at bitcoin and be an open-minded if they really show a huge dislike at it completely. The only thing that can change their mind is if the entire world is using btc and they have no choice but to adopt it as well.

[pinoyden]

yes i do  .  i still engage on non bitcoiner people  like example my friend . i still talk about bitcoin on them even if they already refrain from learning bitcoin before because at some point of thier lives they are still curious about the state of bitcoin   .  they ask me sometimes if how much is the current value of bitcoin   .

[Xalata]

Introducing something new to someone especially when it is about finances is not something that goes down easy and we cannot give up easily on these people who don't have much knowledge about cryptocurrencies. The key message is that we are to educate them not to argue uncessarily with them. They would have weird perceptions and what we need to do as cryptopreneurs is to help clarify all these misconceptions and not argue with them.

[Malsetid]

I've learned to let people be with what they want to believe when it comes to crypto. They will never run out of reasons or doubts or negative thoughts about it anyway simply because they've already had their minds set. Sometimes its like talking to a wall. And then they'll bring up the btc "crashes" And the "i told you so's". It gets draining at times trying convince people who don't want to be convinced.

Its kinda tiring talking to people with the same mindset as before but i always gives chance to people who is interested and i also want to share this opportunity to others. I will argue with them once and try to convince them in the most possible ways i could but after that and still they see it as before then they cant be helped.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Many of my friends & relatives still think crypto is a ponzi or a scam. I’ve told them how much money I’ve made out of it (unbanked gains) but they’re still not interested in getting in themselves.

What I hear mostly is ‘what price are you going to sell it all’.

There is no ‘sell it all’ price for me. Crypto (primarily bitcoin) is the future, you’r be an idiot not to invest some fiat in bitcoin, even a little when you can see that the exponiental lifetime trend of bitcoin price is upwards.

Let them continue to doubt, we will all have the last laugh.

[Slow death]

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

I avoid talking much about cryptos because there are still no clear laws in my country so talking about something that is not yet clear at the level of laws can only create headaches for people. For example if I lived in the USA I would talk to many people about bitcoin and that's because USA is a great developed country at the technological level so most people have a high level of technology understanding. But in a poor country like mine where technology is long overdue and laws are too late talking about things like cryptos can create headaches in people.

[minersday]

For me I believe that when someone really wants to know and understand the whole idea and principle behind cryptocurrency and how relevant it is to the entire financial ecosystem, such person will not argue with you just for you to convince him/her to join the crypto system. From my personal experience, I have never try to convince anyone not even my friends to join the crypto space. I just present them with facts relating to the nature and benefits of cryptocurrencies and how they are going to transform our financial ecosystem if we adopt using it in our transactions.

[Siren]

This must be a nonstop debate because the world is still blind about cryptocurrency and most specially bitcoin

While many are still pointing fingers about what cryptocurrency is all about then i believed that we must answer them straight forward and nothing to be stopped

Some of ths people around me still not convinced about the goodness of crypto so i continue telling them and encouraging them to learn and study our community here

[DoublerHunter]

I personally never introduce to my friend or family and relatives regarding crypto but they know that I am using on it and do trading also, though they have an idea about stock trading they can relate also in trading with crypto. However, I let them know how successful I am in adopting crypto in my life at it gives financial support especially when the market grows. I explain about how bitcoin it works and how risk if you are going to invest in this but never to convince them that to adopt bitcoin I let them decide by their selves.

I stopped debating on something that is inevitable I just let them feel sorry for not believing early and I'm just waiting to say to them that I told you so, if they do not believe it's ok to me, I don't want to waste my time I still going to make profit, whether they believe or not.

[XCANA]

In my working place, many times i have entered into a debate with most of my superior about the future of cryptocurrency but they will never chnage their believe over Bitcoin, so, i changed from debating with them to what they believe. Since then i have never talked about the said Bitcoin with then and will not do till eternity becasue they can't change to believe.

[BeGoods]

I never bother until someone who himself gets interested and request me to give some explanation. For them I used to show our forum as well used to give the basic idea of what is cryptocurrency and the consequences faced in these days along with the need for such a evolution. Further is their responsibility to learn, make investment, trades or whatever upon their own risk.

it's much better, many of us waste too much time and energy just telling someone and convincing someone, even though they aren't necessarily interested and even anti to bitcoin, it will be simpler and not bother you if you teach about bitcoin, to people who already really interested to bitcoin.
