Are people still doubting Bitcoin.

[Rgram]

Fear, misinformation and little knowledge about Bitcoin is what keeps many individuals skeptical about it.

This very much sums it up as to reasons why many wouldn’t want to invest in Bitcoin. Many are misinformed and fear that, it’s grown too pricey and people would just be about cashing out now that it’s become this expensive and putting in their money now would be taking way too much risk but, what they don't realize is the fact that, majority of the world’s population are yet to invest in Bitcoin and the market price is moved by demand and supply which would continue to grow larger by the day.

Should misinformation be an excuse in a world where information is readily available on every smart device. I think it's laziness on their part to do their research. As for fear it still boils down to their understanding about bitcoin investment, someone with adequate information about how the bitcoin ecosystem works won't allow fear limit their investment decisions, it's only those who lack the right knowledge that falls victims to this mostly.

I actually think that, due to easy access to information, someone who wants to start investing in Bitcoin can sometimes be misinformed. There is a lot of information that can be obtained from various sources, but we may not have the knowledge to filter it. What happens then is confusion. I also think it is important to have someone who guides and provides essential Bitcoin knowledge from the start. When you have someone teaching or guiding you, you may indirectly eliminate some fear caused by caution or ignorance.

Your argument about personal responsibility is really good. Everyone has smartphone and it is easy to be misled because people do not want to research it themselves. Although laziness is big factor but beginners also face much information noise in which one cannot tell difference between real facts and scams. This lack of knowledge results in fear. Example is that person with knowledge about Bitcoin halving cycles will see decrease in prices as discount whereas uneducated person will see decrease in prices as terrifying crash.
I believe that crypto world is seen to be too technical and this is what scares people away. We do not need to tell people to do your own research but give them simple and honest guides on why Bitcoin is so important so that they can invest without any fear.

People who do not want to invest in Bitcoin due to receiving wrong information about Bitcoin, which causes anxiety or fear of losing money because they still think Bitcoin is a scam, the risk of losing money and maybe the reason is because Bitcoin is very difficult to reach because the price is too expensive. Some of the points you mentioned, such as the majority of the world's population has not invested in Bitcoin, market prices are influenced by supply and demand, and the ever-increasing demand due to wider adoption, should be an opportunity for them to profit from Bitcoin investments. For anyone still on the fence, perhaps now is the perfect time or perhaps never to delay investing again as the Bitcoin industry is still relatively new and its adoption is still growing.

Many beginners make mistakes because they learn from the wrong sources. For example, many people now believe that storing their assets on CEXs is much safer than non-custodial wallets, or investing in ETFs is more reliable than investing directly in Bitcoin itself. And there are many other mistakes. This is all due to not receiving proper education about Bitcoin. From the start, they are influenced by media narratives, platform promotions, and influencers who don't understand Bitcoin's fundamentals, resulting in a lack of understanding of the key aspects of Bitcoin. If only they could get a good understanding of Bitcoin from someone who knows about it maybe they could have a better knowledge about Bitcoin.

[Aloysius01]

We have a number of those that have talked all manners of things about bitcoin in the past and today they are in support of it use, sometimes people are moved with emotions to react even when they lack the basic facts to what they are saying, but die to little or no idea and their kind of myopic mentality upon that same thing, they tend to fight against it and also discourage others from investing on the same opportunity, we will still keep learning about different versions of people.

People don't hate opportunities, they hate what they don't understand, most criticism comes from confusion not wisdom, todays doubt is tomorrows regret, when knowledge is absent fear becomes loud, they laughed because they didn't understand, Now they are watching because it worked, Never let confused people talk you out of a clear vision some people fight growth because staying small feels safer, if everyone believes it, it is probably too late, emotional reacts knowledge moves thesame mouths that doubts will later explain why they knew it all along, what you have to know is that the hardest lesson usually bring the biggest wisdom.

[MLSIDRIS]

wow so Michael Saylor said all this about bitcoin interesting, this is an example of Paul in the Holy Bible who was persecuting Christians and when he got an encounter with Jesus, he was the one that started preaching about same christ he was persecuting others of talking about. Michael Saylor is now one of the great Preachers that bitcoin has right now and he is not only preaching his also doing it by accumulating always and he's even accumulating with huge amount of money. If you are persecuting and doubting Bitcoin this is your time to come back and preach about bitcoin

People don't only doubt bitcoin, they doubt the money made from it because the amount of money made from trading bitcoin and other alt coin seems unbelievable.  The major reasons for this doubt is majorly due to lack of knowledge about the whole ecosystem
People are used to schemes online that make them quick money for bitcoin it is gradual and steady.
They are not willing to deposit money to an online account, they are so use to the traditional banking system.

Gradually the doubt is fading away that about 8 countries have made bitcoin a legal tender.
I wish I knew bitcoin 10 years ago would have been a millionaire by now.

This same person that was having doubt on bitcoin is still the same person that now own a firm Strategy that accumulated and holding 671,268 BTC, setting records among public companies.
Michael Saylor is now one of the people that is advocating for bitcoin and promoting it.
If you are still doubting you are alone and those forming a team with you when it comes to doubting bitcoin some of them may even be accumulating and holding bitcoin consistently.  

That's natural because everyone has different views and generally, people who hate Bitcoin will eventually become interested in it, as has happened to some people. In the early stages, even more people doubted Bitcoin or even ourselves. But as time goes by we begin to see something different and Bitcoin could be one of the best investments that can lead someone to financial freedom.

Currently many people are open and motivated to start investing and we can see this in the increasingly widespread adoption. This means that Bitcoin has become an asset of choice for many people, even though many of us doubted it in the early stages.

LOL, he was not only wrong about Bitcoin, he was also dead wrong about 'Online Gambling'  . I must say he was wise enough to see the connection though as a major part of Bitcoin's success story is indeed because of online gambling.  

Yeah, it is a bit ironic to see his post/tweet on a Bitcoin forum with online gambling ads in 2026

But to be honest, at that time, it was probably the most mainstream opinion to have.

Bitcoin in those early years was in its infancy and it could very well have died off.

It's a bit of miracle that Bitcoin actually survived the early days. Probably it was because most people just ignored it.

When it got all the attention it was already strong enough.

I saw something online and it was a statement by From Michael Saylor, i never believed he once had doubt on bitcoin. This is the statement.

I consider Bitcoin a personal race, it should be your belief, your at your own risk, what others say about the coin should not really bother you, what is important is you believing you can benefit from Bitcoin, and other individual opinion does not have to affect you in any way at all,
Some can be talking bad about the coin but at the same time they have big investment in it, so it is your investment it is your risk it is your belief, other people opinion does not have to bother you.

When it comes to bitcoin investment just like you said is a personal race, and yes if you are considering what other people are saying against Bitcoin you are making a very big mistake because those people who are talking down on Bitcoin may even be investing in Bitcoin and deceiving other people, so if you have seen how good bitcoin is don't listen to anything anyone is telling you or don't even listen to those people that are always Post against Bitcoin online, for me I usually block or I don't even follow those who are always talking against Bitcoin on social media because I don't want them to infect my brain with that nonsense talk because a lot of them are investing on Bitcoin on our back.

If you are bothered easily by those people that say negative things about Bitcoin, you're not yet ready for the bigger things. Think of the early investors that have heard a lot of negative things of what they happen to invest and that's bitcoin. Too many doubters that have told them that it will be useless and they're just wasting their money in it. But where are they right now? they're probably retired at least for those who owns more than 10 bitcoins and have bought that when that was very cheap. And if there are people who still doubts it now, they'll see how they've missed the bigger thing when they should have simply adopted and bought it.

Beginners make such mistakes due to limited information and even laziness to expand their knowledge about Bitcoin. If they are willing to spend time learning about Bitcoin from various authentic sources then they will not make mistakes. Many beginners do not care to learn more so they have limited understanding. And they are potentially to experience regret in the end. In fact if they understand the importance of learning first before acting then they will not get lost along the way. And this all concerns all the important aspects of Bitcoin. Reliable sources are also an important benchmark for a beginner's final outcome. If they find the wrong sources they are likely to make mistakes in the near future and even suffer losses immediately because of their mistakes. And we have often heard this kind of stories.

Most times I think the fact that bitcoin is not centralized is the reason for the distrust in the cryptocurrency, because Bitcoin is supposed to be thought in Schools as a subject based on its relevance in the world right now, but the government won't make provisions for this because they want to take control first.

What distrust are you talking about? The whole world is talking about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies these days, they are everywhere, and everyone are adopting them over time. Those who don't trust Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are losing on an opportunity of a lifetime, and that's their loss, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies won't be affected because of them. Look at the example given in the OP, Michael Saylor was against it and didn't trust it initially, so he basically lost the opportunity to make more money because if he had started doing it in that time, he would have made more money.

However, since he realized his mistake soon and diverted his mindset and views about Bitcoin, he did pretty well still, but as I said, his distrust only affected him and not Bitcoin or the market. Bitcoin kept going forward even after his remarks, or the remarks of any other person who have some influence over some people. So, people distrusting Bitcoin is not a bad thing for Bitcoin, at least not anymore, because Bitcoin has gone far ahead of those things and it won't be stopped by these things anymore.

Bitcoin can not be centralized as much as we can imagine right now, because some of the countries out there will never accept bitcoin as an asset in their countries because of bad economic selfish reasons, so there is every tendency things wouldn’t be as it usually used to be, the obvious reason is what you have said that the Government wouldn’t want to to give leverage to Bitcoin being centralized.

But there are few countries who have done that now, things seems to be in a very different way for their countrie and it seems to be a massive development for them, and some countries as well have Bitcoin as a reserved asset.

So there are still individuals who are doubting bitcoin, who thinks that bitcoin is a scam, and most of the countries in Africa they don’t know what bitcoin is all about, and when they hear about bitcoin they feel like bitcoin is a scam, and most people think that bitcoin is used for corruption.

Bitcoin was never created to be centralised in nature, therefore even if the whole were to accept bitcoin it won't change it's decentralised nature. This is the main reason why most countries are finding it difficult to accept it, since it can't be controlled by the government. However, I do believe bitcoin adoption is spreading as time passes by. It will come to a time in which all the countries maybe force to accept it and this won't change the freedom or the fact that bitcoin is decentralised in nature.

It is not a problem in my opinion because bitcoin is not just about currency but is a system that is built independently, a notebook and transparency, if we teach what blockchain is and how it is used, of course, it will have a different impact on the progress of blockchain technology in the country, bitcoin can be used as a reference or sample study to create a new view and understanding for the younger generation and in the future it can be a very good innovation if applied in social or government systems in important data for storage.

Smart people always evaluate before deciding to participate and any investment requires careful research so that those involved understand the asset they're investing in.
Bitcoin has made significant progress and from its launch to the present, there's a wealth of history to explore regarding this asset. People who understand financial freedom will undoubtedly choose this path, even if they sometimes hesitate before starting.

There are millions of people in the world and perhaps not all of them are visible in investments, so it's understandable that many still doubt Bitcoin.
Michael Saylor recently purchased an estimated $980.3 million in Bitcoin and the small increase in recent days may have been triggered by this purchase despite other events.
