Bitcoin and misinformation

[SOKO-DEKE]

Where it becomes more annoying is when they give you that listening ears show so much attention like they're really ready, after saying all these things to them, giving them all the guidelines they need and the next thing you hear from them in the coming days is that someone scammed them of a huge amount, and they'll blame it on you, the thing there is that after telling them everything about Bitcoin, when you expect them to come to you for the real deal you hear them going behind you to trade or buy Bitcoin to get started. Humans are just hard to control.

I don’t like introducing bitcoin to strangers because they will end up making things look like you are a scammer. The only time I do introduce bitcoin to random people is when they come to meet me to seek for guidance. I will tell them everything they need to know, and I will also let them know that they are investing at their own risk and that I won’t be held responsible for any of their losses. So they should make sure they do everything possible to avoid losing their bitcoin.
 
Some people will end up learning about bitcoin from you, and then behind you they will do things that they are not supposed to do without even telling you about them before they do them, which will compromise their wallet and they will lose their bitcoin. And we all know scammers are always targeting newbies because they know that newbies are always having little exposure to cryptocurrency, and they believe they will easily fall for their trap.
 
If you are introducing bitcoin to anyone, make sure you warn them not to do any strange thing behind your back, they shouldn’t trust anyone, and they shouldn’t allow anyone to have access to their wallet. If they end up doing what they are not supposed to do, then they shouldn’t blame you for that.

Bitcoin as the father of all cryptocurrency have hard it ups and down since it came into existence, but what I observe lately is the misinformation about Bitcoin that got me worried like in this time and age, people still take Bitcoin as a scam.

This is not only "lately", but it has been around for a long time, one of the negative issues that has never subsided regarding Bitcoin is the assumption and accusations that Bitcoin is a scam. And there are more and more issues that add to it making it look bad, so that many people continue to hate Bitcoin no matter what the circumstances. So, this is one of the effects of negative issues which are always spread by certain parties for certain purposes. And the opinion that Bitcoin is a scam among the public, unfortunately, is still ongoing. Although in fact, this has started to gradually decrease compared to several years ago. We just need to be patient and continue to spread positive news about Bitcoin so that people really understand and clear up this misunderstanding. but this will not be easy for sure. That's why it requires continuous effort. But those who don't like it, will continue to hate whatever happens. So, don't let them disturb your mind.

If we all stop telling people about Bitcoin, how do we get more people to come on board? We need as many people as possible to be involved in Bitcoin because the more people we have using Bitcoin, the better.

The only time I do introduce bitcoin to random people is when they come to meet me to seek for guidance. I will tell them everything they need to know, and I will also let them know that they are investing at their own risk and that I won’t be held responsible for any of their losses.

I'm still grateful to the person that helped me get started with Bitcoin, he explained everything to me and how it can help me with payments and other things. I wasn't aware of Bitcoin then. Assuming he never told me about it, I wouldn't be here neither would I have achieved some of the things I achieved. We must try to share the knowledge of Bitcoin and ensure we tell people the truth about Bitcoin. One thing we must do is to ensure people know Bitcoin more from the perspective of usage before anything else.

This is not only "lately", but it has been around for a long time, one of the negative issues that has never subsided regarding Bitcoin is the assumption and accusations that Bitcoin is a scam.

To cap it all, they also believed that it's used for many illicit activities just like scam as you have mentioned and other means of financial extortion, vandalization or looting, but what can we do instead, we cannot fight everyone, but we can make sure that we are well exempted from any issue that could led to other people believing in those fake philosophy, be a good bitcoiner by example and try our possible best in educating others about bitcoin.
