Do you still bother to engage non Bitcoiners?

[hen cet]

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.

People who do not know bitcoin should be given an overview of bitcoin, starting from the way they work, the time that can be used for transactions, even the potential benefits or losses that may be experienced as a bitcoin investor.
Giving a overview of course has a purpose, namely that more people who are engaged in bitcoin in this world. Then so that people who get profit from bitcoin can increase their economic level and more and more are spreading positive information about bitcoin.

[Mike Mayor]

People who sit back won't accomplish anything. You have to partake in things in order to take advantage of them. If you just sit on the sidelines you never going to go anywhere. Take risks. These people probably let fear lead their lives. NO point in arguing with the inevitable and the clueless. Most people are clueless but these are the people those who have a clue profit from.

I say leave them in the dark xD

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.

Bitcoin is a fantastic and popular digital currency because people trust, invest and trade enthusiastically. Not the result of people who only speak but do nothing.
Now that bitcoin has become expensive, they continue to criticize and comment on the negative tone of bitcoin, even though they are not part of the people who are active in the bitcoin community.
So it's better to let them talk, but the bitcoin trade is still running and enjoyed by investors because they might be jealous to see the price of bitcoin rise again and now it has exceeded USD 8000.

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 would be absolutely a waste of time trying to bother those who are not open minded to things that they do not even know. They are ignoring the fact that Cryptocurrency is one of the best things ever invented using the available technology in the present time. Learning about blockchain technology will give us a lot of opportunities and we should not waste our time on close minded people.

[oseikuf44]

Never will I waste time on people who has determined not to learn anything new. Bitcoin has come to stay but yet some haters of bitcoins are still dreaming of the day they will wake up to hear bitcoins is gone forever. I rather spend time on Beginners that are eager to learn the potentials of investing, trading and transacting in cryptocurrencies.

[Naughty Princess]

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.

I agree. They are not worth for explanation because there mind is already close to understand and they believe on what they believe. Do not bother because they will just blame us for pushing them to involve in bitcoin when it turn more cheaper. It is not your lose but them because they losing an opportunity and the benefits with bitcoin.

[Pagri]

A couple of years ago I also stopped debating about this as I used to do before. When I talked to people about the existence of cryptocurrencies, all their potential as currency and even as an investment, the price of bitcoin was around $450. People found it interesting but always found a pretext not to get involved in the topic, or when they thought they knew something about cryptos, they only talked about the negative things supposedly involved in the subject.

But after ten years of existence of bitcoin, I think being apart from it is nothing but negligence, so I do not see much encouragement in trying to convince them about it.

[Gi01]

I find it a waste of time to try talk people who don't understand or have made their minds not to understand the true ideology behind the creation and use of bitcoin. Non Bitcoiners are usually the source of misleading information in the crypto space and the entire world.

Exactly.It's just a waste of time engaging in non bitcoiners because even if you keep on convincing them about bitcoin,they will surely stand up with their own ideas.They will stick to their own beliefs.So it would be useless dealing with them.I sugget that we should focus on our own and let them see how we will soar up high just like the price of bitcoin.

[abstractednerve]

No, I am not bothered at all. Though some of the friends are involving in the crypto and some of the friends took it seriously with me and a very few friends like to mock with us! I stop convincing them because after all of these great things happen, if they don't get the idea, then we have nothing to do instead of ignoring!

[waynechong1995]

On the previous peak where things are really hot that time, my friends did questioned alot on the system negatively, yet still bought some and got rekted in the end. Yes most of the people do care price the most but for me what I can do was simply educate more about blockchain use case, but not about the price cause i also have no idea how these drivers can be that insane

[Carrelmae10]

..not bothered at all,,my friends and I do believe in the technology of Bitcoin,,although there are ups and downs and lots of struggles bitcoin surpassed,,I always thinking of what Bitcoin will going to be in the future generations,,but only one insticnt comes to my mind..Bitcoin will always be the very first digital cryptocurrency that will going to rule in the universe..

[TIDOVEE]

i've not really bothered myself in persuading people to join bitcoin users, a lot of people feel bitcoin being an online cryptocurrency, is one of those internet fraud.
for me to convince anyone who is not even interested is to make the bounty more crowded. well! that may sound somehow selfish but it is for real. everyone does not need to beleive in it.

[Wingo]

It is their loss, and you are just doing your part on expanding the boundaries of crypto space. They will realize that they miss the chance in cryptocurrencies in the near future. There may be obstacles hindering the faster adoption of Crypto today but it will get to that point, and when it does, many people will regret what they did not believe.

I as a bitcoiner, I do see many hindrance in engaging people, especially the elders and some businesses to use cryptocurrencies. They are afraid because they look at it as a scam, and that the government does not recommend using it. They are very close minded. They are firm into disbelief while not exploring the technology behind it.

[AjithBtc]

I used to suggest to users having good understanding about cryptocurrency. In recent days I had a conversation with a friend who is a full time share market investor. He have known about cryptocurrencies, but for some legal reasons he hasn't shown interest towards it. Now after my suggestion he have begun to explore more and I believe he'll make an investment soon as he's already good with share market.

It is very hard to change people's beliefs because it is something they have held on to for a very long time. Just leave them to believe whatever they want, after all, their belief doesn't affect you in any other way. Just keep doing what you believe in.

It is a new market and what belief do they have if they know nothing about the market, you need some patience and skills to learn about a new market and it is not that easy for someone who is not interested to understand how the market works or how to evaluate a market which has no physical presence, there is no point in arguing with anyone who is not interested to learn, but i do engage in healthy debates every now and then  .

[nicecrypto]

Yeah most times the topic of crypto will come among the non bitcoiner folks am familiar with and i try as much as i could to educate and enlighten them in my own way what crypto is all about, but most times it doesn't really yeild a good result because my efforts just pass through a deaf ear
Very hard to reason with non bitcoiners about btc, they are very adamant about it, i guess they will come around in due time

[BigBrother]

I don't want to argue with my friends and acquaintances about bitcoin. If you force someone to join crypto, then in case of failure, this person will blame you for everything. So I believe that people themselves must come to this. The people themselves must decide they need it or not. If they have the desire, they will find all the necessary information.

[sandra_x]

Most persons can only think in terms of a centralized such as those of the government creating money and fail to see that the power is actually created by a consensus of the masses that anything has value. Such thoughts are the results of many years of brainwashing by the government and constant attack of bitcoin/crypto by those whose interest are threatened by bitcoin. The good thing is that adoption is growing rapidly and will soon be astronomical.Bitcoin will rule the world.Already 5 % or so percent of americans have used bitcoin.
