Do you still bother to engage non Bitcoiners?

[tegarp90]

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?

It will just gonna be like that forever until crypto goes mainstream and world used it for daily transactions.
People who doesn't want to know crypto saying crypto is scam, while we are know the truth annoyed by them.
So, me right now is not arguing with those kind of people anymore

Bitcoin is the best.  There is nothing to add.  If you are new to this world then yes you can indulge in altcoins.  But then if you try Bitcoin you will never refuse it.

[bitbunnny]

There will always be people who will not support Bitcoin. It's impossibe to achieve that everybody likes everything and so it's with Bitcoin too. I try to explain people the benefits of Bitcoin and encourage them to try it on their own but I'm not trying to persue anyone.But I still beleive that with time more and more people will embrace Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies the same way they did it with fiat money.

For now maybe but what about in the future where cash/fiats will slowly be extinct because it will be replaced by cryptos ?  For sure people will start to crawl back on cryptocurrencies  .

I'm not convincing even before but I tell on how good bitcoin is.

Telling them how good bitcoin was , is still the same as convincing them to join bitcoin .

In my case no . i  am not engaging my self to non bitcoiner people because they wont bother to learn at all because they maybe lack of knowledge or maybe they are only lazy .

I don't see crypto form a threat to government issued fiat currencies because they are and will remain the most useful and convenient forms of money. All crypto does is add problems instead of solving them.

Sure, crypto is decentralized, which is a great selling feature for us, but who of the average joes care about that? They just want a form of money that works and is stable as per its unit value, and that's what fiat offers.

People are incentivized to hoard/save everything that's scarce, which is Bitcoin, but spend things that aren't, which fiat is part of. I find gold a way better selling feature than Bitcoin being a currency as main selling feature.

Well obviously many people who you try to convince about bitcoin  might get interested and other might not, but the thing is we have to keep trying we have to keep spreading the word because among the poeple who are just gonna ignore you there are a small minority that will join you and that is the way to make the community grow and make the bitcoin progress, and the people who hated on it will see what they are missing like they saw what happend back in 2017 when it reached 20k and people regretted it.

I always experienced this every time i try to reach out to other people to explain more about bitcoin.Some will leave doubts while others give you a positive feedback.But i never stop in sharing words about bitcoin because this might contribute on its mass adoption in the future.I just never give time to those who are non bitcoiners because they will surely stand for it whatever their reasons.

No, it isn't the same as convincing.

I tell them the things that I appreciate about bitcoin and it's up to them on how they will extract it. I'm not coming to the point of convincing them that they should also have bitcoin and start investing on it.

And if they are interested to know more, I'm telling them what I know and what I can tell but if no interest showed why do I have to continue talking to them about bitcoin? I'm shifting the conversation into some other topic.

[haidil]

for cases like this it often happens where I convince my relatives and friends about crypto and they joke me. from here I better walk alone

if i ever got caught in crypto related topic i do not go embroiled in debates i calmly explained to them
what i know and what they do not know
if they do not need my attention i just chose to let it slide specially if this group of people have selective judgement and close minded in crypto.

[darkr]

I'm not convincing even before but I tell on how good bitcoin is. I'm not pushing my friends and even my relatives, I'm just telling them that bitcoin seems to be the future and start of waking up the world about decentralization. I'm aware of those possible scenarios that might happen if I will have a debate with non-believers, they love to mock bitcoin folks since they are also aware of the bulls and crashes that happened. I'm even more keen of focusing within my goal than arguing with any of them.

I sound confident when I recommend my friends buying Bitcoin (because I am). 3 of my buddies invested in Bitcoin, and I think that we all will make a profit this year and further, as the crypto will grow.

[jbreher]

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

Yes. But rather than friends or internet creeps, I consider them valued colleagues. And rather than crypto in nature, more so the specific attributes of specific chains. Over on the WO.

::zing!::

But to your point, debate? No. I stopped arguing with the ignorant years ago. I state my counterpoint and my visions for the horizon one time, and let the rest slide. Genuine questions from them will yield genuine answers. If pressed, I may inform them that I still own way more Bitcoin than I have ever sold. This will either impress them with my earnestness, or dismay them with what they perceive as my irrationality. I don't much care which.

eta: Though if the topic of conversation turns to money, I'm sure to plant a seed. As well as implore anyone I know to have savings to at least spend 20 or so hours studying Bitcoin before dismissing it.

It's not actually a form of debate but more on educating and making them aware of what Bitcoin is all about. Proper education can help them understand the real essence of Bitcoin. I highlighted to them as well of how beneficial and profitable this technology is, but after all it's still up to them to make the final judgement.

Why will you waste your precious time debating and arguing with people who are not ready to learn and understand the benefits associated with the use of Bitcoin and the financial freedom it gives its users? People who do not appreciate new technologies are not worth to be engaged in a debate regarding Bitcoin.

You can't expect people that's new to Bitcoin would like it right away, if given enough time their view on Bitcoin could change..

Also there are people who are eager to learn Bitcoin but could have doubts and maybe confused on the idea.

Its not an easy task to convince anyone who does not accept bitcoin to be the future. Actually i really find it hard because the people are not willing to listen to the arguments and they stick to their thinking.  So i do not enforce my opinion and let them think whatever they think about bitcoins and crypto currencies.

Yes. It's really hard to convince people who stick with their own beliefs no matter how hard you tried to convince them. But we are living in a democratic world so we are free to think whatever we want. Just let them see wherever bitcoin may go and might regretted in the end for not giving a chance for bitcoin to amaze them.

[martychubbs]

That doesn’t sound healthy for one thing. As for me, I prefer not to take responsibility for others and their choices. You can always advice something but not to lure anyone in it.

There is nothing you could do to convince them specially when they are closeminded people.
And for me you don't need to convince them let them wake up on their own way.
I have told my friends and family about Bitcoin back when I was just new and they didn't like it.
But as time past by and they heard some great news about crypto and Bitcoin they are the one who wants to invest on it.
So you don't really need to convince them just show them.

[jakelyson]

I never exert effort to explain or argue the idea of crypto to anyone who refuse to believe. It is a waste of time for both of us. If they already have the notion that bitcoin is fake, scam or bubble, there is nothing I can say that Will change that.
