This is what happens when people.......

I can feel your disappointment and confusion from this story. Not only because of Bitcoin, but because a friend you thought you could talk to ended up taking the conversation in a direction that is far removed from the reality you directly experienced.

The first thing that needs to be clarified is that what your friend expressed is a collection of conspiracy theories that have been circulating for a long time and are often debunked but they are packaged in an emotional narrative that seems connected. Bitcoin often becomes a target of narratives like this because of its decentralized nature, complexity and the way it threatens the old financial system.

What is sad here is not the conspiracy theories themselves, but how those beliefs damage relationships and the advice given to you. Your friend may feel that he is saving you, but the foundation of his argument is fragile and filled with fear rather than data.

For some certain numbers of people, this Bitcoin is all a movie that's been written in the past and we are all now living it, this is what happens When people watch too many conspiracy theory dramas.

I hate it when people talk about things without any basis, especially when they are talking about Bitcoin. Most conspiracy theories don't use any basis, and they only rely on tentative assumptions without further verification. So, I think conspiracy theories are nothing more than fairy tales, and they can't be used as a benchmark for reference. Therefore, we shouldn't spend too much time discussing conspiracy theories. It should be better to talk about things with valid, or verified sources. By this way, we don't deviate from reality.

I just like it, when conspiracy theories talk about Bitcoin in a positive way, but it seems like most conspiracy theories are negative. I often debate some conspiracy theorists, and I think most of them are too delusional; they always manage to answer my questions with their own wild assumptions, or conjectures. Therefore, I think we should avoid getting too involved in these discussions, and we might end up following their thinking. So, we should stick to the right, and verified path.

Everyone has some kind of conspiracy theory they believe in but forcing this onto other people would be wrong especially if there’s no evidence of any claims. People like this can be draining to be around to be honest. They are too delusional and far removed from reality.

buuuuuh normally my friend loves conspiracy theories, he was obsessed with WW1 and the assassination of Lincoln. 🤦🤦🤦

To protect your sanity, get all the information you need about Bitcoin from these forum. Out there, there are still people who are still being stubborn to see that Bitcoin is what it is and not all that conspiracy bullshit being shared on the internet. Move with those who share thesame ideology with you and do not try to convince anyone to accept Bitcoin. Bitcoin is for everyone but not everyone will accept Bitcoin with an open mind.

Conspiracy or not whenever I see this kind of storyline the next thing that crosses my mind is that every one should to their own resolutions about Bitcoin after hearing whatever that you can, the whole power decision is our hands so as it pleases you so as not to blame anyone tomorrow, every one must not use Bitcoin for sure and to me it doesn't make any sense cajoling anyone in to making use of Bitcoin, let it be there own decision to either use Bitcoin or not, what I usually pray for is long life to see if this whole conspiracies will come to pass.

He started mentioning Epstein been mossad agent and Bitcoin is the biggest scam of the world, he said Russia exposed the US plan of debt settling and they knew what went down that day, buuuuuh normally my friend loves conspiracy theories, he was obsessed with WW1 and the assassination of Lincoln. 🤦🤦🤦

That's your friends stand about bitcoin based on reasons available to him, the question then comes back to you, what's your own stand? What do you think of bitcoin since you've gotten involved in it?

Bitcoin has always been decentralized even though some set of people have always tried to come in the way as whales and influncial people in the whole bitcoin system. Thier influence isn't unnoticed but at the same time, it doesn't mean that they are the ones in charge of bitcoin. Do your own research and make your own conclusion from the research so while investing, you don't blame anybody for the outcome of your investment. Bitcoin being a volatile asset means that to an extent, it can go down but in the long run, it always gets bullish again.

The last part of your statement summarizes everything because no matter how hard we try, it is not everyone that will accept Bitcoin, to them Bitcoin will always remain those things the framed up in their head. The right thing to do is to allow them in their delusion since they cannot be convinced. I'm actually happy that the number of Bitcoin critics have reduced drastically over the years, it will continue to get better for Bitcoin.

I'd avoid any discussion about that if I encounter a friend of mine that discusses with so much conspiracies. I guess that he's got a lot of time to research all of those stuff than to work for a living.

I can't stop them from being so interested with all of those conspiracies for which includes Bitcoin. But if it's about investing, they're free to decide whatever they have.

I won't close my doors to them and I am still here if ever they pass by me and suddenly stops just to ask how's bitcoin is doing and if they can still invest it. And we know the answer, it will never be too late for anybody.

We shouldn't try and convince people that Bitcoin is good or that it could be useful for them as well, because there is no point. If they argue with you that Bitcoin is a scam, it's a bubble, it's going to lose all its value and everyone will lose their money, then you should tell them okay, you are right, and then don't talk about this topic with them, because you will only waste your time and energy by doing that since they are not going to believe or accept a single word coming out of your mouth, and no matter how hard you try, you can't change that.

This is why I have stopped trying to convince people that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are useful if they are used in the right way. So many people think that cryptocurrencies are a way to get rich quickly, so they start by making an investment in a meme coin, and then when they lose money in that investment, they start thinking that cryptocurrencies are useless and they only make you lose money, but in reality, it was their mistake that they started making investments without doing any research before they start.

I was in a religious gathering, and the preacher asked people who own Bitcoin to signify by raising their hands. Some people did that, and he told them to dispose of it because it is the currency of the devil. He began to give some illustrations that were not rational in any way. The problem is that people try to discredit what they don't understand and others just hate change. They will do everything to maintain the status quo.

I know it's good to have an open mind, but there are some people you just should not listen to. People with very low IQ and people who talk with so much ignorance. It's a waste of time to listen to them, and you can feel your IQ dropping while hearing them talk 

The devil has been in existence for as long as I can remember. Why did he wait till 2009 to launch a currency? 
So what currency was he using before then? How gullible people are is always funny to see. All kinds of evil have been going on, all the name of money (different currencies across history), and all those were not currencies of the devil. Gullible people.
