A hilarious video that shows so many persons ignorance about bitcoin

[Darker45]

A lot of people exaggerate Bitcoin, its potentials and relevance. Whenever I read exaggerated remarks on Bitcoin especially coming from somebody popular, I can only cringe in silence. There are even those who argue that Satoshi should be given a Nobel prize. There are those who claim that Bitcoin is one of the greatest inventions in human history, or the second greatest in the 21^st century, next to the internet. I don't know, but whenever I go out into the real world, Bitcoin is more alien than aliens.

There may still be people who have never heard of Bitcoin until now, especially if that person is too busy with what he is doing not to read any news. It's normal because people nowadays still think about themselves first and then think about other things.

There may also be people who have heard of Bitcoin but don't have it yet and don't care that there is it now. And those people will not know the future of Bitcoin because they are not trying to get to know it.

But those of us who have known Bitcoin for many years still want to own more Bitcoin. Some even use reserve funds to buy Bitcoin because they believe the price of Bitcoin will definitely increase very high. So it's better to let them think like that because owning Bitcoin or not is each person's decision.

To be honest, I find their English hard to understand and I wouldn't really take seriously videos like this one because I think most of the time they just pay some money to say this or that in video. It's also curious that most of them time when people are asked with this question, no one asks back what is Bitcoin or what's the price of bitcoin or how can they exchange it, that's why I don't believe in the authenticity of these videos.

You don't take them seriously because they're comedians lmao, maybe they're half-meant but that's beside the point. The problems you pointed out are easily answered by the fact that if they were to do those things, the comedy won't be prioritized and the delivery won't be funny because they've focused too much in technicalities. To be honest, you need to have your funny bone checked because you've been looking at the video at the wrong angle.

Regarding the video, I think it's funny and it does support OP's opinion that the ignorance in bitcoin is still there but in my opinion, ignorance won't be quashed anytime soon, there's billions of people out there and millions that don't have time to use the Internet so it's understandable that some people won't know about bitcoin even if it's a decade since it's Genesis.

It's just that those people really haven't heard of Bitcoin. The video is really coming from Nigeria, and I just thought that most of them heard it, but again, not all because others haven't stumbled on Bitcoin because they are just into the internet and social media but still haven't found it online. For sure, in the next ATH, Bitcoin will really get trending again in Social media, and probably that is where they will discover it.

I read somewhere in this forum, I can't particularly place the section but the person said, there's no one in this century who hasn't heard about Bitcoin and who doesn't know the future it holds for us and I was of the opinion that that can't be true.

Judging from my immediate family, I could tell my parents may know that there's something called Bitcoin and that's because myself and siblings hold random discussions about it.

Going through my Facebook account yesterday, I also discovered a very funny trending hilarious video that support my notion.

Common man , you knew facebook as you are not that young anymore , there are so much stupidity going in that platform in which majority is misleading and we must admit that to not become one of the victim of fake news.
also there are several post like this in the past as what you said there are no one in this century that does not know bitcoin.
but that is a general term and is not standing to all people in the world ,
don't be exaggerated about posts that you are reading
we must also elaborate and understand some general meaning.
but for me? it is indeed that the world already knew bitcoin either it is good or bad.

Instead of running people down for not understanding something, why not actually educate them and help them become a part of a wider community?

It's not true. Not everyone has heard about bitcoin. I bet there are "older" generations that don't even know bitcoin exists or something like that.

It’s the paradox of value at play. You can’t expect these Nigerians to choose bitcoin too since they most likely don’t know about bitcoin in the first place, or the value that it possesses. It could also be that they are in dire need of money and would rather choose the quick cash over compounding value since they need it right now and not for the next bull run. See there’s so many things at play here and we fling ignorance at them not knowing what stuff they are personally going through that pushed them to choose that over bitcoin. Perhaps a little openness and perspective could help you with that? It’s funny cause we know how valuable bitcoin is but if the situations were changed, and you’re someone who doesn’t know bout bitcoin asked on-the-spot if you would choose your local currency over bitcoin, what would you do?

The Nigerians don't know about the bitcoin? I thought they knew a lot about bitcoin and most of the Nigerians trades bitcoin a lot. As far as I know, their central bank had issues with Bitcoin and all banks were ordered to suspend accounts that were involved in bitcoin trading. Just because they are from a third word country doesn't mean that they don't know what bitcoin is. Perhaps they know more than most of us.

The real crypto OGs or Bitcoin OGs talk about Bitcoin for free but the majority of videos online today are doing it for money, so no I don't take crypto videos very seriously, everyone has something they want and 99% of this desire is money so people will do anything to get to their destination.

Education is all you need to understand Bitcoin and crypto, learn yourself and you will understand everything, and I will also like to correct OP that many older people don't know about Bitcoin, in my family, no older person understands what Bitcoin is, they don't know such thing exists.

Ask them about Bitcoin or tell them about money that's digital they will argue with you that it's impossible.
