Public Perspective towards Bitcoin

[YUriy1991]

I think the public's perception of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is gradually shifting towards the positive. Positive news coverage and endorsements from influential figures have also increased public confidence in Bitcoin. The goal is also to address misconceptions around cryptocurrency and emphasize its potential to positively change the financial industry. leading to widespread adoption and integration of technology into our everyday lives.

I've been thinking for a while on how the perception of the public will turn into positive in regards to bitcoin and other cryptocurrency? There is a big problem on how the public see the bitcoin because the 1st ever thought that pops in their mind is something negative and I don't blame them because there are reasons or past history why they have thoughts thats comes to them like that. One of the reasons that I've been thinking is what they perceive when they first hear or read the word bitcoin, we usually consume a lot of contents not only in television but of course in a lot of social media platforms. One of them are the articles online or influencers who shares their opinion of the bitcoin. If the public watch or consume negative opinions or story regarding bitcoin, their mental perspective to it will immediately turn to bad. So when the topic regarding bitcoin brought up, they usually says negative because of what they perceived in the past. My question is how we can turn their perspective into positive? I have good motive on that because I also want them to have a better lives by understanding how it works and also how we can chance their way of living by using it.

Bitcoin is not a recent invention, and I believe that many people have heard of it or come across the word in various social media platforms. The only problem is that they are not yet willing to perform any research on it.Since I learn a lot on social media despite having friends who introduced me to Bitcoin, I'm not sure if this kind of individuals require physical knowledge again. However, what I am considering at the moment is that we raise the level of education among those who are close to us in order to make the message easier to disseminate, as I believe that will be the easiest method for people to become motivated.

everything will be very simple if the government seriously considers its role and limitations on life.
i think bitcoin was born not to fight anything in life, when other material tools do not meet the needs by creating equality in life, the fact that bitcoin brings positivity but not being accepted may take time for people to get used to it.
we have become different and stronger since our inception, and I am seeing that in the last few years acceptance is more widespread than objection.

Some peopke automatically have negative perception towards bitcoin because they don't understand how it works and how valuable it can be. Once heard, they juts try to ignore it and settle on the shallow knowledge that they have. Also, maybe they've already heard some people who get scammed and associated it with Bitcoin right away. Tho it's good to be skeptical, it's better to answer those questions we are curious about.

I will ignore negative views about bitcoin because gradually things like that will fade away, because in the end everyone starts to realize the good uses and benefits of bitcoin.
and apart from a number of reasons that they put forward and I think the most striking is because they think the way bitcoin works is difficult which is actually very easy once it's involved, and besides that bitcoin is also a new asset class so it's still easy to manipulate with various things it still scares people, but that doesn't diminish bitcoin's growth and ever-increasing popularity and it will continue to do so until everyone realizes it for themselves.

Tho it's important to have much faith in Bitcoin it is also equally important to considering negative views and news about it. By knowing those, you can make more informed decisions about your next steps and you'll manage the potential risks associated with those bad news.

I agree the government is the biggest barrier to the unpopularity of bitcoin and many people are afraid of bitcoin because they believe in the government. You are right, bitcoin was not created to counter or replace anything, but I see many of us spreading the word that bitcoin will replace fiat and banking, and disrupt government dominance...It's like bitcoin is going against the government, which makes many governments oppose it. Bitcoin is an alternative for us, and the government is still ruling us, it's no use fighting them.

If we see, yes, Bitcoin has been around for over a decade, yet many people still don't fully understand it. While social media can provide some information, it's important to educate ourselves and those around us about this innovative technology. Rather than expecting individuals to seek out information on their own, we should take the initiative to raise awareness and educate our friends and family.

In My opinion By increasing education on Bitcoin, we can make it easier for people to understand and become motivated to participate in the cryptocurrency revolution. Let's take the time to educate ourselves and those around us to help spread the message about Bitcoin.

 I was doing multiple sections about bitcoin at the radio station where I work and most times, I was surprised to see parents calls to get the basic knowledge about bitcoin since most of them had heard about bitcoin one way or the other on the international news but need clarity on certain things and bitcoin has got more and better attention for this past few years and the two major opinion I get from some of my friends is that they consider bitcoin to be ponzi scheme while the majority see it as an investment that has the potential to grow over time but the truth is that you can only share ideas you can force anyone to invest those that are lucky to invest will make their profit eventually.

[FahriZah]

You are right, I think it's better for us to educate according to our abilities as long as there is an opportunity we have to give our explanation and knowledge to the people closest to us or maybe people who are interested and want to know more about Bitcoin like you do.
Because I think we can't just force our thoughts on someone who has a negative view or is still closed about Bitcoin, everyone has a different character if we can't convey it precisely then I think it will increase their distrust of Bitcoin.
Time keeps turning and little by little people will automatically realize that Bitcoin is not always a ponzi scheme. People who immediately start investing may be luckier and get a lot of profit.

[TribalBob]

no need to force everyone to know bitcoin because by themselves they will find out what bitcoin is, and start entering the world of crypto,
if we give the wrong info, we will be the first to be blamed if they fail,
people who hate crypto basically they don't believe in bitcoin and have experienced bad things in crypto for example fraud in investing in new coins / memes

[$anounimus$]

Yes the vast majority of the public either doesn't know what Bitcoin is or thinking it is something negative.


Usually they think:
1. It's bad for the environment (it isn't, its actual a huge benefit)
2. It's a scam or pyramid scheme / ponzi or some other scheme the don't know the actual definition of
3. It's outdated tech (lol)
4. It's only good for criminals
5. It'll just be banned
6. It's a bubble (and they apparently don't know its been through several market cycles)
7. It's something people lose money on / it's going to zero (lol facepalm)



I think I hit all the major misconceptions / negative views.


How do we fix these. Simple: education! There is so much misinformation about Bitcoin passed around by people who don't have a clue about it and those people greatly outnumber the people who are actually educated on Bitcoin. We as a community need very good very public educational resources to point people to. As more and more people get educated on Bitcoin eventually the momentum will swing in favor of education instead of misinformation. But we're a very long way from that. It would of course help if some big people in media and politics were educated on Bitcoin and could spread the world. As currently its the government that is engaging in the next big attack on Bitcoin.

Yes, I agree with your description. I also feel the same way when talking about Bitcoin with some people in my environment. They know little about Bitcoin but they are very apathetic. In several discussions I tried to dig deeper into their knowledge of Bitcoin, it turns out that what makes them apathetic is knowledge and errors in digesting information. In addition, they have also become victims of fraud in projects with MLM schemes and so on.

Apart from that, what makes some people worried about Bitcoin is because of the negative news about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in various media. As a result, the public considers that crypto currency is a form of systematic crime.

On another occasion I tried to explain the positive sides, including the investment platform that I'm currently using. They began to believe that I could withdraw the assets that I was investing on the platform at any time and were supported by government-owned banking. After that they realized that Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies also have many positive sides.

[Kakmakr]

People are also influenced by "good" news, so an increase in the Bitcoin price...seems to be one of the strongest motivators to get people to look at Bitcoin. I do not know if OP has ever been around the forum when the Bitcoin price are at it's highest price, because the buzz in the media, draw a lot of attention to this forum.

We see a lot of new people joining the forum, when the Bitcoin price are very high and there are a lot of success stories being posted everywhere. So, I am saying..... increase the price and the interest in Bitcoin will also rise.

I agree with that. And there are many people who look at Bitcoin badly, maybe they think it's a scam. But when they try Bitcoin, on how it works, they can say that crypto is great. Many have become rich in the crypto world but some of them have lost their investment. However, we should not blame Bitcoin for that because the most common reason is the lack of knowledge. Some were inadvertently transferred to the wrong address. There are others just because of hype, they let other people decide on their investment which is very wrong. We should be the ones to decide on our steps to be taken, and we should think carefully so that our decision is not based on emotion. Those who have become successful in Bitcoin, they no longer rely on the words of others, they have done their own research on how to grow their investment in crypto.

If I were to be asked to coach someone about crypto, of course I'll immediately turn them down. Firstly, I learned crypto on my own (though not everyone is capable of self-learning), I was like that at first too, but diving into deep knowledge in regards of crypto requires you to be self-reliant. Unlike before when I first learned about crypto, right now there are so many sources for you to learn like google. Adding the fact that here in my county banks and financial institutions are slowly introducing crypto into their platforms, makes it much easier for those who are new to the space about what blockchain technology is.

[jrrsparkles]

You can point some if the people managed to change their life into rich by investing at the right time and this will convince most of the people because money matters the most to everyone in this world. Explaining the importance of decentralized monetary system is the right way to do it but the common man can't be able to understand all these since we never thought about what is money anywhere, all we taught was work hard and make money.

Bitcoin is an alternative for us, and the government is still ruling us, it's no use fighting them.

The reason why government is againest decentralized crypto not the centralized one is that government by no means can control it. Its really that simple.
Coming to bitcoin, I would say its not created to replace existing banking and Fiat system rather it has its own reason of existence and will exist side by side with traditional banking system.
The positive news for bitcoin is that despite governments hard stance on it, its community is gradually increasing. The only way bitcoin can progress is through its community since there are rear chances that government will accept it.

I think against you, bitcoin is still very new, and the popularity of bitcoin varies from region to region. In my area, many people have never heard of bitcoin, let alone are willing to learn about it. We live in a world of 4G and 5G technology, but the internet has only been popular in my area for the last 2-3 years, which shows that many places do not have full access to the technology. The generation of my parents and uncle even had difficulty using Facebook or TikTok, so it was impossible for them to learn about bitcoin.

I've been thinking for a while on how the perception of the public will turn into positive in regards to bitcoin and other cryptocurrency?

The answer to your question is in your post, like if people are consuming bad opinions from whatever source and taking BTC as wrong then all we can do is show them the right path. It does not matter how you will do it like by talking to them directly or by increasing the good opinion to be consumed by them so they could think of it as good.

Overall, this factor has some significant importance but to some extent, people need basic knowledge and confidence in themselves so that they do not depend on the research or opinions of others. One thing that they assume about BTC as being bad is, regulatory restrictions and less educational content like if at the start, due to no access to the right knowledge I left BTC then again I step feet into crypto and found this forum and after some time I started to understand basics of crypto after which, I totally understand how things work.

I have seen most of the people who try to ask their friends or relatives involved in BTC about its origin and purpose, those who taught them like from an advanced level or try to teach them very hard idk why. But this confuses them and they tend to leave it. That's why we should teach those who find it hard to learn about BTC and blockchain.

Do not waste too much time on anyone that does not believe in bitcoins or choosing to hold their negative perspective still. You can share the facts and give the person proper information, but do not try to force your opinion on them so they do not think that you will gain something from them joining or choosing to invest in bitcoins. Environment affects perspective, and you will be surprised how many people's perspective have been affected by public opinion, they choose to just accept what has been said about bitcoins without going out to try to find out on their own if what they have been told and made to believe is true. Many people have accepted wrong ideas and information about bitcoins. If you try to correct this people and if begins to want to turn into an argument, just stop talking and let them be.

Independent of they see as a bad thing or scam or whatever, it usually comes down to Earning to them, how much they can win, that's why their interest goes from 0 to 100 real fast in ATH's, it's almost sickening. but maybe this time is different, who knows ,one more ath in 2 years and we will study again.
