Not everyone will agree with Bitcoin, you should know this!

[chichidori]

Skeptics and those that are uneducated about crypto are the hardest people to convince about bitcoin even if you tell them that it can be exchange to fiat and tangible things, nevertheless if I encountered such person I never pushed my opinion instead I point them to some reading materials about bitcoin and crypto its better to educate them rather than argue about it.

Bitcoin is indeed a little more complicated than fiat cash as far as its usage as a currency is concerned. We have to admit that. There is no need denying that. With cash, all you need to have are those cash alone and you're good to go. With Bitcoin, it is not the case. You need more than just a piece of paper crumpled inside your pocket. Although this is too shallow a basis not to choose Bitcoin over fiat cash, if this is what is most important to them then so be it. There's no problem with it. It is not as if fiat cash is to be completely replaced with Bitcoin soon.

There is no one who will force most people to believe and having bitcoin as their investment place. There may some people who capricious like when bitcoin price meet a big dump they will assume that bitcoin is flawed when used as an investment place, you can lose your money in seconds due to the volatility of the price. We have seen a lot, bitcoin price crash and there will be many people especially in this forum who doubt and become bitcoin haters.

But, it is otherwise when bitcoin price up like this time, there will be many people who consider that bitcoin can be called as safe heaven place beside gold because when the economy in most countries falls bitcoin showed the opposite. Then we will see especially in this forum as well who precipitant to tell that bitcoin is good and can defeat all investment place, it is worst. At this time, I'll never talk about much bitcoin to many people who know me (in my real life) I'll let them know for themselves about bitcoin and its ins and outs.

~While researching, I learnt that one of his reasons for the hate is that he believes Bitcoin to be complex when it comes to usage. "It would have to be completely friction-free and understandable by everybody first." he said. But honestly, I don't see how Bitcoin is complex, all what we know was taught. He makes it look like you need a laptop to access / use it.

He's gone so far as talking his grandma out of it. “She was like, ‘Baby can you help me get me invested in this?

A layman doesn't have to understand how bitcoin works to be able to use it, all he needs is to download the bitcoin app wallet on the store and buy bitcoin on exchanges.
Volatility is a better reason for people to not involved in bitcoin but time has proven that the value of bitcoin continues to increase rather than decrease, so it is suitable for a long-term investment, simply hold it for ten years and find out how much it can grow compared to put it in the bank account or any other investment.

For all the things that bitcoin showed us they still doubt it? I think those are the ones that don't know what bitcoin really is. We already know that bitcoin is a good investment and a way of making transactions since it is fast and safe. Those people are the ones who trusted bitcoin at first but they invest without knowing the nature of bitcoin, or maybe they are being scammed by the projects that need bitcoin as an investment and making a statement that bitcoin itself is a scam, which is not. It is the people who are taking advantage of the ignorance of others. That is why knowledge is important before making any move to create your money involving bitcoin.

To be honest, they are actually supporting Bitcoin by saying they are not supporting Bitcoin, how is that? by making Bitcoin more publicized! Guys like him only makes Bitcoin more popular though so it's a win-win for Bitcoin either way.

IIRC, there's a gold supporter who's negative towards Bitcoin yet 50% of his twitter post are about Bitcoin lol (Forgot his name though).

This is called insulting to increase the value...
Those who don't like Bitcoin and make bad posts about Bitcoin on Twitter are actually accidentally making people curious about Bitcoin. One good marketing trick is not just to be supportive but offensive but to indirectly lead to an endorsement.

[ChrisPop]

One does not have to know the technology behind Bitcoin in order to use it, but it would be ideal if he would.

Second of all, he says that Bitcoin is "complex to use". In the era of technology where we all know to browse smartphones, create Instagram stories, make selfies, etc. it is not harder to copy paste an address to send and receive Bitcoins from, especially when there are some very user-friendly wallet out there.

Who the heck is Mark Cuban? Yes you defined him as an entrepreneur but what did he do at majority to make such statements though.
Why the heck are we talking about some guy ranting about certain coin? It's not like we can even believe what he says just like what majority of trolls that even have reputation in the whole internet like Mcafee.
Just buy when you want to buy.

PS. I searched Mark Cuban and he kinda looks like Craig Wright. Not surprised they're both against the real Bitcoin,lol.

[Bitstar_coin]

It is very natural for some people to display their resentment towards btc at the beginning because they are not fully informed (or just too egocentric to know) but it they give themselves a little time to get acquainted with btc am sure they will change their mind, there is nothing too complicated about btc and good it about it is, you don't need to be a dev to use btc, just the basic is enough to keep you started.

[onooks]

Mark Cuban is just jealous he missed out for lack of PC knowledge.

[pixie85]

My question to all of you who value opinions of rich people and other investors is: would you buy something if Mark Cuban or someone else told you to do it?

If you say yes then I wouldn't even try to argue anymore. This means you are a follower, not a leader.

If you say no, you shouldn't care if these people tell you not to buy Bitcoin. They're just people like you and me and they can be wrong. I've never followed Cuban, Buffett or Schiff and I don't care what they think I should buy or not buy.

  funny, but maybe is true hahahha.

Sooner or later one of the Mark Cuban Company will start adopting  bitcoin if the hype of cryptocurrency still happening i see the Mark Cuban Company https://markcubancompanies.com/ and some of it work in IT business so yeah

[Wexnident]

Not everyone will support Bitcoin of course. We've seen such behaviour in our daily lives; just like not everyone likes you. Another example is Mark Cuban; an American billionaire entrepreneur. In 2017, he said that you should "only invest in bitcoin if you’re prepared to lose your money". We all know that bitcoin is volatile can that 'can cause' loss of your funds but... That statement is like saying you shouldn't invest in Bitcoin. Now earlier this year, in April, Cuban said that he'd “rather have bananas than bitcoin”. Now, in December, he said that his thoughts about Bitcoin hasn't changed.

Well, it isn't exactly wrong back then if you take a look at some of the events around Bitcoin. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and honestly, Bitcoin is seen as a volatile asset and then the bubble popping making quite a lot of people lose possible profits, it isn't really something rare that some view Bitcoin negatively. It is for a fact though, that long-term investment in Bitcoin has shown positive growth so far, but there's a different perspective for each person after all.  Just let it go tbh, nothing we can do, it is for a fact that Bitcoin is volatile, and there's always a 50/50 chance of you losing money.

Having your own opinion should be fine and all, as long as you made that own opinion on your own ofc, without any influence of other personalities. You can reference them, but that's the limit, don't let it influence you, though it's kinda difficult but eh, I'm pretty sure most of us here are doing that anyway.

[masterrex]

Thats for sure, many are still accusing and doubting Bitcoin about things that they dont understand, So that was a reality in our time, We have a different opinion and different belief thats why it is understandable. So it's better to educate them if they are not aware of the Bitcoin function so that we can settle our differences in due time.

[traderethereum]

I do not know who he is, and I do not care what he is saying because bitcoin is still bitcoin, which can help me make money.
I realize that not all people like or agree with bitcoin, and we do not have to listen to them if they do not agree with bitcoin.
They will decide to use bitcoin or do not want to agree with bitcoin because we do not have to force them to agree with us.
We choose this, and they have their own choice, so we do not have to disturb them by introducing bitcoin anymore.

[Shasha80]

I also realized that there will always be Bitcoin hater, because there are always people who don't like Bitcoin and always think
negatively about Bitcoin. We can't force everyone to like Bitcoin, so don't think too much if you meet people who don't like Bitcoin.
Everyone has a different way of thinking, we must be able to respect differences of opinion. That way we in this world will be more
peaceful. Therefore a forum like bitcointalk is needed which provides a gathering place for people who support Bitcoin. And I am very
happy to be in this forum, because I can discuss all things Bitcoin related.

He also said that "no matter how much bitcoin fans want to pretend that it's a hedge against doomsday scenarios, it is not". While researching, I learnt that one of his reasons for the hate is that he believes Bitcoin to be complex when it comes to usage.

He's gone so far as talking his grandma out of it. “She was like, ‘Baby can you help me get me invested in this? Just buy me a couple of the bitcoin, and we’ll just hang on to them' ". This simply proves that some people won't just see the good in Bitcoin. So, don't talk anyone into it. I know he's not the only one who talks such about Bitcoin, but, we are not convincing anyone!

I'm happy you mentioned that this happens in our daily lives. We've all got some people who don't like us or approve of us. It is the same with every other thing. There will always be critics who will always find faults with a thing and ardent supporters of the same thing.
We all know of Peter Schiff and now here is Mark Cuban. I am of the opinion that every serious bitcoin user shouldn't regard their words. It is because they do not understand the concept and benefits of bitcoin. I believe bitcoin has been made simple enough for everyone to understand and they choose not to, then it's nobody's fault

[aTriz]

One thing is sure that we'll can't agree on something especially when it come to issue of technology, Bitcoin was a new technology when these comments were made by these men/women, but recently can't find them with such bogus words again becasue they have come to terms with the technology. What they refused to understand was that, Bitcoin can't be real, something virtual to take huge place in the real world was unbelievable to them sincerely.

It was long ago i discovered that, Bitcoin was made/created for the smart and not for the long aged dormant generation we find these haters of Bitcoin.

there are so many old people who are very smart too. and I've seen and know so many old people into bitcoin infact most of crypto enthusiast and altcoin projects owners are middle aged or old aged. that is true that Bitcoin has a lot of haters but it doesn't effect bitcoin's value and it's use cases.
if someone think about bitcoin with cool mind. he'll understand that and never hat bitcoin again.
