BTC, why do some people just get it, others really don't?

[xSkylarx]

We can't force people to know or learn something they are not interested in. Even if they are young or old if they want to get involved in bitcoin they will study it. I myself is really interested to learn more about bitcoin and blockchain technology but the people around me like friends or family are not really interested. Some of them even say it is just a scam.

Let’s admit the fact that cryptocurrency specially Bitcoin is not that easy to understand ,because not all people or best way to address is “Majority of people in the world are not tech people”so they are harder to encourage or even if they try yet not enough for them to understand quickly so that’s same reason why many fails like what you said Quickly entering without knowledge so the ending is failure and will curse the crypto for taking their money 😂
But with our help it’s will come soon that realizations and acknowledging will come to this market just do our part and don’t get tired of teaching people about what is this all about

In my experience its seems that

[1] some people seem to just "get" btc almost as soon as they are introduced to it,

[2]  others simply don't or

[3] become hostile without understanding BTC tech.

[4] Become hostile and do understand the tech.



The demarcation lines seem to me quite stark. Any theories as to why this is?


(I understand [5] those who just don't get it or are not interested, )

Many people want to get bitcoin soon and never check chart before investing, just looking about other people have invested and they want to invest too, price suddenly drop and never take little risk for cut lost and hold it until price really down.

If the person is really interested in knowing the working of crypto coins then surely he will get its working and technology behind it but some people have negative viewpoint about it due to rumours about its volatility and scams like btc being bubble.Others just want to get rich by btc without knowing that it is coin used for payments not mode of getting rich.You can invest in it and wait for long term and get returns in future.But slowly people will start getting its importance and adopt it.

Yes the only explanation that I could think of is number 5,
People who doesn't really like it or not interested in one thing would always be closed minded person .
They wouldn't get it no matter how much you explain it to them if they doesn't like it then it would just be worthless.

People can be divided into many groups depending on the conditions. You can divide them by age, gender, intelligence. We can assume that the average young person of above average intelligence will most likely understand Bitcoin. An average old person who does not have a computer at home will not. It's that simple.

Some people are open-minded and some are close-minded and this doesn't depend on their age. This is like an additional condition on top of your age and intelligence that has to be met for you to understand Bitcoin.

[airdnasxela]

Some are just not capable of understanding the nature of bitcoin. Like people who are not techy, older people, and some people in the places who lack innovation and development. Some are not just as interested to learn bitcoin. The point here is just, not everyone are interested about bitcoin. Just because we're interested, others should too.

We cannot just make them open their mouth (in a brute force) and put the hot food into their mouth, they will just throw it out.

there are certains individuals, or should I say the majority of the crowd in the society we are in, are not intertested in something unbelievable, and cryptocurrency is one of the examples of that. Bitcoin is the most biggest coins we could introduced to someone, but once we start explaining it, they will start to be confuse and will not take it in into their system, but the problem is not on us, it is on them.

[electronicash]

pretty normal when you introduce something new, they will oppose it because they don't understand or simply because since its new.

my old  man insist in investing in buying a farm as it will help me survive by planting crops and trees and sell them. when i told him i'd be investing GPUs so i can mine ETH and XMR. he was what and then you are going to sell the land minerals to china?   maybe i just suck at explaining what BTC and these coins are.

Yup no matter how hard you try to explain it some people might never get it as it should be understood wherein there are those who will get it easily.  I had similar challenges while hiring a developer for one of my project wherein some of them consider bitcoin as illegal and they will be arrested if they for for a crypto related project while others are cool and very keen to learn and work for it.

People have different opinions and understandings of technology. Even though I don't see a reason why many people still rejected bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies maybe it is because of the cryptocurrency market volatility or lack of good understanding of the technology or might be both likely.  

[sunsilk]

[1] They don't just get it because they were introduced. They are eager because they've heard success stories about the early investors and adopters on how much they've made money with bitcoin. And that's encouraging them to buy ASAP although they don't understand it.

[5] They are no longer interested probably they became a victim of scams on internet and they are just trying to become smart this time and avoid things like this. But it will all change once the media is giving a good view and making the reputation of bitcoin positively.

Some people are very interested in bitcoin why?  Because they are know that bitcoin are good for a long investment and they know what the benefits they get once they get invest in bitcoin.
But some are not interested because they don't have knowledge about bitcoin and some maybe they have no money to invest on it.

Bitcoin have been present years ago. And a lot of people started early. The fact that they work early, there’s a big chance for them to get bitcoin. Unlike those people who started late, it will be hard for them to have one due to the inconsistency of the price.

Basically, if we will going to look not to the price of bitcoin but to the functionality and effectiveness of it to become a substitute to the fiat it is enough to attract or to induce market adoption. What I can see that makes it hard is the other platform using bitcoin or other crypto in frauds that decrease the reputation of it. In addition, people's mind are close due to this, and they are already contented with what they have.

[akirasendo17]

It really how the person thinks that makes them really understand what bitcoin really is, or some people might experience something bad that is why its really hard for them to believe something that just come out of thin air to have an importance, experiences really is what really make them easily get it, and others dont

[Pearls Before Swine]

its more about how your introducd to it

Depends how your exposed to crypto-currencies.

I discovered bitcoin via some kind of news media years ago, tho I can't recall exactly what I was viewing on the internet.  Most likely it was a story about btc hitting its then all time high when Mt. Gox was in the process of imploding. 

These days a lot of people know at least something about bitcoin, even if they don't own any and never will.  The unfortunate thing is that the media reports bitcoin's ties to drugs and illegal porn and terrorism, and all of that is very unfair.  That's the type of thing that makes me want to pull my pubes out by the roots.

Technical minded people will recognize the value of bitcoin, but we all know that the majority of the population is ignorant and believe everything they're fed from news outlets.  They don't bother to look any deeper into bitcoin than what they hear from the media, so they think its some kind of tool for criminals.  But that's all right.  BTC is 10 years old and shows no signs of dying yet.  The younger generation will surely realize its benefit and carry it forward.

[Shasha80]

Depending on the explanation about bitcoin itself and the educational background also affects the ability to catch someone about
something new. Usually people are quicker to grasp the meaning of the first bitcoin because he likes to go first with bitcoin so his
thinking is more The second person who understands bitcoin faster, usually his educational background understands basic technology.
And the third one why people understand more about bitcoin depends on where the source is, the more trusted the source the easier
it is for people to accept. So indeed different each person captures a knowledge there is a fast and some are slow. Most importantly
there is still a desire to continue learning.

Many people do not know risk of bitcoin investment, they only keep on their mind bitcoin is faster way how to get much money with investing, they do not think bitcoin have side where price down their investment assets will lost, less communication and understand about how bitcoin investment working and how to get profit with bitcoin, never claim bitcoin is faster way to get much money.

They are just after the possible profit that they are considering but they don't consider the risk associated on it, and once they loss money with their investment, they will be depress  and stressing out their selves. So, if we have friends that wanted to earn crypo, we should be able to suggest them to know risk management first.
