Statement against people who say Bitcoin is a Scam

[opkm1980]

It is said that we are in the information age, which is true, but we are also in the era of misinformation, because anyone speculates with false news, then it is shared and they believe it.

Cryptocurrencies have been marred by criminals who have made many scams, so many people think that investing in Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency in general is very risky, but it is not so, if appropriate measures are taken, it can be operated with high security levels, of course regardless of market price variations, since this is another issue.

just ignore it if there are people who think like that, bitcoin has been running for 10 years even though there is a lot of negative news about bitcoin, bitcoin is still loved by many people. chances are people who hate bitcoin only spread FUD to buy bitcoin cheaper.

[GideonGono]

Bitcoin is not a scam, the person who do scam is a scam.  The bitcoin is just a coin that you can invest so where you can lose or gain benefit such by do trading or other investment platform.

They scam using bitcoin so we can see that bitcoin is a scam.

I always find people who think that Bitcoin or cryptocurrency assets are busting money and sometimes there are people who always assume that investing in bitcoin is fraught with hacker risk.
on the other hand I cannot assume that their opinions are wrong, but on the other hand I cannot justify their statements.
I always think that people who have opinions like that are people who don't really know about blockchain technology, or they just read from one of the articles that happens to provide news about a "dark" case in bitcoin, so they often assume that bitcoin is a range against hackers and scam.

what do you think about finding people like that and how will you react to them?

Bitcoin was mostly used in darkweb,you can even see every site accept bitcoin as their payment for their service or products so people see this as something wrong but its that only place bitcoin used no,even governments accepts taxes in the bitcoin payment so the things changed but people not aware of it so better teach them what is cryptos if we can when we found someone who have wrong understanding about it.

I always ask further where their negative thoughts come from, I always meet people like this. And very remarkable, more answers are limited to theories from documentaries, or articles about crypto investment fraud that actually only write bitcoin as a sweetener, but in fact use shitcoin. their average literacy is weak and they have never tried it directly. Sometimes I think that they are just afraid.

No, their opinions are not wrong at all. I don't know in what sense you used the word "fraught". So lets skip that part. About the hackers "risk". They are not wrong. Their computer and wallets can get hacked. This is nothing new. If you keep your money at your house without securing it, there is a chance someone can break in and steal all your money. In the same sense, if you don't keep your wallet or your computer secured, there is always a chance of losing your coins.

All of us have our respective opinions based on one's experiences but these opinions need to be substantiated and covered with definite proof especially if the opinion consists of allegations against the said complaint.
For instance, there are some that complain that bitcoin is a scam DUE to some incurring loss in the process, while others say that bitcoin blessed them with the opportunity of earning significant amounts of money.

It all depends on how we view bitcoin as everyone is entitled to have their opinion or view on a certain matter/thing. But this escalates quickly especially if someone made an accusation against something/someone without backing enough proof.

It depends. There are people who will choose to believe things with zero to no proof, just take a look at the recent years and the perception of bitcoin from the public. Remember when bitcoin was being showcased as a tool only for the darknet and people were only able to commit illegal and inhumane crimes due to it? There's still a lot of people from that period who do this date still think that, and what's the proof in that? Anyone who spent an extra minute looking would have found out that was not the case at all.

The media is very important in our everyday lives, and it's important to learn not to always believe in them - if the bull run didn't get showcased and reported on as much as it did, we could be looking at much lower price and community nowadays.

People who say that don't understand the basic idea of bitcoin. Bitcoin came into existence to give this world an alternate form of payment system which is decentralized and transparent which solves all the problem that is with the fiat currency today. Bitcoin was inflated and manipulated in 2017 when it touched the ATH. But that isn't the problem with the Bitcoin. Since it is decentralized, many exchanges manipulate volume and fraud people. This makes people think that BTC is a scam or a bubble. But if you notice the trends, it always corrects its price and maintain an organic growth.

[crossabdd]

like the condition when the ransomeware virus attacks in several countries last year. because they ask for rewards with bitcoin. And scam investment with bitcoin. so many people believe that Bitcoin is bad, a place of fraud, hackers, and HYIP.
even my family and neighbors. but some of my knowledge about bitcoin. I explained that it was wrong. Bitcoin is like real money. which can be used for anything, including bad things like fraud, etc. Bitcoin is a digital currency. one of the complementary currencies in the world. and finally they began to believe. that's what i did. help give a little bit of understanding that I have about bitcoin to them.

Just let them be on what would they like to say because for sure sooner or later they would realize that their initial impressions are definitely not in the right path.

Its common for people to have those negative insights due to bad publicity of media and other articles and if you do have zero knowledge about blockchain tech
and crypto then for sure you would really believe on what you do read.Out of curiosity you will surely uncover on what the truth.

Now it's high time those fudders should understand that if bitcoin was a bubble it will not last 10 years like bitcoin did and moreover they have accept the fact that bitcoin will always be  fluctuating due to the fact that there are huge investors who can easily manipulate the price and even if we as a bitcoin community decides to stop it we cannot do it. But I agree with the point which you have mentioned about correction as we have seems a long correction period for bitcoin and everything was slow paced until 23rd October 2019 and I think there might be some fluctuations ahead after what has happened in last 3 days.

[Gotumoot]

Bitcoin has been around for ten years and all of its problems have been overcome, even though it is falling we know it will rise again. So this is what I can tell bitcoin haters, If you don't want to keep up with the evolving technology, okay! You will be surprised one day when you are asked if you have bitcoin to pay for your meals or any service!

differences of opinion are natural especially since they don't know the truth, I don't really care about people like that, maybe they think because bitcoin is often made for money laundering, and anonymous bitcoin transactions.

Ignore, maybe thats the right step so as not to cause chaos. But should we try to explain what really happened until the person understood ?
I think if I meet people like that in the real world then I will try to explain the problem and if they dont believe its their business. The point is dont justify the wrong and dont blame the right.
I think all types of activities will have their own risks, and we can only be aware and minimize the risks that may be caused, so not having to be afraid because fear will only make us fail.

[Suharti12]

Most people who say Bitcoin is a fraud are those who are new to Cryptocurrency, and we don't need to take it seriously. As we all know, Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency are modern technologies, Cryptocurrency is a digital payment instrument that is present at the right time, that is, when times are more advanced and all-digital. These are real and they are people who are pessimistic about new technology.  We can try to give them understanding, but if they argue we leave it.

I won't blame them much because the world today has been flooded with a lot of scam projects.
 So there is an absence of trust, that's why people refuse to believe

[andycarrol]

indeed today many people say bitcoin is a scam but with the condition that bitcoin prices can be very expensive like what happened yesterday then they will be silent and will feel surprised because the price of bitcoin has increased that much and that quickly in a short time, so more better keep quiet than having to provide services to bitcoin haters.

[Ryan Dugan]

Have any of you guys noticed that those who know least make up the biggest stories? People who talk all these tall tales about how bad bitcoin is and all this silly nonsense like it is for criminals etc always comes from people who don't actually know very much about anything never mind bitcoin. Unless they have an altered motive and are trying to convince or confuse the weak.

They mean nothing to us anyway. Let's have them think what they want to think and we will enjoy the benefits of bitcoin while they stay poor forever.

Yes, and those type of people knows nothing. Most of them are just spreading anything they heard without knowing if it's true or not.
We can just ignore them since they don't worth our time. We should continue what we are doing while they were left behind.

[yulionoo]

if anyone says bitcoin is a fraud i will do is ask him why do you say bitcoin is a cheat? then I will explain about bitcoin and cryptocurrence in earnest that bitcoin and cryptocurrency are new breakthroughs in the financial system and technology. if we can use bitcoin and blockchain well we will get many benefits. but I also admit that cryptocurrency has an anonymous weakness that is often used to commit crime. but this is not the fault of cryptocurrency but it is the user's fault. cannot use cryptocurrency wisely..
