Are people still doubting Bitcoin.

[Sonia_123]

It is normal for those that are still  doubting because not every one will believe  and trust it's purpose despite all they have witness in the fall and rise of bitcoin to save the world, let those who believe continue investing and enjoying it's potential .

In time to come those that have refused to believe in bitcoin will have no choice to accept it since bitcoin will be embrace by all.

It's okay to doubt but you have to also know what you are doubting then that makes your doubt make sense.
Innovation and evolution is what we strive for as humans. Doubting bitcoin probably tells you lack an aspect of innovation, very soon fiat currency will be gone, digital foot print will take over. Just like AI now.

I disagree with you; fiat currency will always continue to be here. Even if there is rapid acceptance of digital currency, fiat still has a place and will continue to be here. Aside from it having something to do with our economy, not everyone out there can make use of digital currency. Even with the traditional banking system, they still don't; they prefer to go with cash unless you are proposing a total collapse of a system.

We can only control what we want to do and having interest in, we should leave the rest to what others believe and wanted to do in their own capacity individually, because no matter how you say it, people will still find it more interesting to go for what is in their mind, this is where I can't continue in doubt of those that refuse to adopt Bitcoin because they love the understanding of what it is.

Micheal Saylor is a perfect example of some persons currently I mean at the early days of Bitcoin a lot of people despised  Bitcoin and mistook it for one coin that will still scamp people of there funds and go away with it without being traced, of course I wouldn't blame them then for not believing in Bitcoin because probably they must have been through different times when must have been frauded so they have every right to feel any way they wanted but the truth will always dawn on you when the same coin  you looked on has become so much valuable and powerful.

That's because Bitcoin was new and highly-unproven. Many people were skeptical of it, especially because there was lack of regulation. In the early days, it was the "wild west". It's this reason why figures like Michael Saylor and Donald Trump were opposing Bitcoin. But once BTC became more popular (in part due to institutional interest/demand), people who were once skeptical about it now changed their mind.

Of course, there are some who still doubt Bitcoin. Particularly, haters and skeptics. It's impossible to convince everyone on Earth that Bitcoin is a good, alternative currency to Fiat. Each person decides what he/she wants to believe in. As long as Bitcoin has a loyal community following, nothing else matters.

You are right on this and people should actually think very deep they will realize that Bitcoin is never in any way in competition with the existence of Fiat currency, Fiat currency will of course continue to exist, Bitcoin stands as an alternative, I see people making this argument about how Fiat currency will be no more in existence if there is a mass adoption of bitcoin and I will laugh, the earlier those thinking in that direction will have a rethink and see the impossibility of what they are saying the better for them, we are in a world of people with different levels of belief system and not everyone will ever agreed with Bitcoin let alone accessibility, for example let's consider people living in a places that has no electricity and Internet facilities.

Any one doubting Bitcoin at this stage it is now globally is not truthful to themselves because Bitcoin is not hidden and it's achievements cannot be hidden...

Don't assume that everyone has heard about Bitcoin. Try talking to people in your rural community and see how most are ignorant of what Bitcoin is. Even in urban areas, there are some who haven't heard about it. If someone tells you they don't know anything about Bitcoin, don't assume they're pretending.

It is normal for some persons to believe and some to doubt but when you can physically see its achievements and still chose to ignore or blind about Bitcoin, then the future will tell.

The only way one can talk about what Bitcoin has been able to achieve "physically" as you put it is if there's an evidence of its reflection in one's life. If one hasn't directly benefited from it to the point that one's friends or those around one can testify of it, then I don't see anything physical about it. That's my assessment of such a situation. This is why I laugh at those who scream in excitement whenever Bitcoin price spikes and they don't have an investment in Bitcoin but in altcoins. It's complete waste of excitement.

A very surprising event played out recently as I was discussing with someone about bitcoin and this person is very senior person in terms of education and age, but when we talk about bitcoin his Comment sound's so dump and lacking basic knowledge about bitcoin so all his doubt about bitcoin was build out of that low knowledge on the concept of bitcoin despite his educational qualifications.

The only thing I could was to advise him to read more about bitcoin and to have an open mind to understand bitcoin better and on a more serious note and not stereo typed believe.

Proves that someone can be very educated in different fields but still be a Bitcoin illiterate, it's not about educational qualification else Saylor couldn't have criticised it when he would've had more of it than now if he had bought more those days he was a Bitcoin critics, luckily for him he realised earlier and made up for his misjudgement on Bitcoin.

Maybe he's still making up for those wrong statement that's why he's mostly buying and encourage his followers to always buy than sell. Although you did the right thing cause with your advise i believe he'll take his time to make some research and see facts instead the dumb statements he made about Bitcoin.

No man will ever know everything so there is no need to be surprised if the man that has so much educational qualifications and exposure could not know even the basic of bitcoin knowledge, even with the advice the man might still doubt about Bitcoin because it is certain that not everyone is going to accept Bitcoin and it's potentials regardless of how educated they can be, it takes personal conviction to believe and trust in Bitcoin potential and not even what they read about Bitcoin some can read and may not see the same light with you and they will keep arguing.

Those who have no idea about Bitcoin will always avoid it no matter how much they are invited to invest in Bitcoin. Just because a person has educational qualifications does not mean that he is aware of Bitcoin, rather there are many such people who do not have much idea about other things but they have a good idea about Bitcoin and that is what they use. After getting involved with Bitcoin, I have learned a lot about Bitcoin, but still I feel that my idea about Bitcoin is very insignificant and I still know more and may know more in the future. So if any person thinks that he will get involved in investment after getting a complete idea about Bitcoin, then I would say that this is his completely wrong idea.

Since Bitcoin is a digital currency. People usually believe in something that they can realistically see with their own eyes. I think the reason why Bitcoin is not worthy of trust for many people so far is that they cannot touch it. It is a technology-based currency. Those of us who are confident in using technology and do not look at Bitcoin as a digital currency with suspicion but rather know its features, uses, market value, security and potential are the ones who believe in Bitcoin and continue to invest with faith. Although it has some risks and limitations. And we accept those risks and limitations and continue to invest with our ability and readiness. Those who do not believe or express doubts and fears in investing are not unreasonable because it is normal to be afraid of losing money and taking risks, but each of us should make decisions according to our own risk capacity and understanding.

Interest cannot be forced, not everyone is interested in Bitcoin and that is not something wrong, everyone has a different time and perspective in assessing something, for those who are still doubtful or do not want to accept let time answer and for those of us who have believed without the slightest doubt, continue to hold that belief, because in the end, the strongest acceptance is not born from coercion, but from the awareness they find.

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.

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.  

This is not a new thing though, sometimes people do speak against things that they don't understand and changes their opinion when they get to know it later, I kind of think that this was the case with Michael Saylor's view on Bitcoin then, and who is currently a Bitcoin advocate and a big investor.
Generally, ignorant makes people speak the way they speak against things sometimes, and in regards to Bitcoin, it a matter of time those that doesn't understand, when they get to understand you shouldn't be surprised to see them change their views on Bitcoin.

Bitcoin can never replace fiat currency and is a fact that every bitcoiner ought to have known. Though some people believe that it is possible for bitcoin to replace fiat but there are so many reasons why it won't be possible for this to happen. Bitcoin being decentralised and can't be controlled by the government, aside this volatility is also one major factor why bitcoin can never replace fiat currency.

Forcing interest is even an understatement i wish there are other best adjective to qualify that, people should be allowed to do whatever they like, forcing interest about Bitcoin on people will not portray good reputation on Bitcoin and that of the inventor Satoshi Nakamoto, whatever people are forced on will become stressful and complex to understand and be able to ride on, let everyone make their own decision and at the same time take full responsibility.

You are right, no matter how you try to talk about a new technology to a person, you can never change their mindset and thought towards that technology, except they decide to change their view and perspective about it.

If it is a person who has already developed the passion to learn new technology, they will be eager to listen and learn about it because the drive is there for new information and knowledge, which they already know that new trend do emanate so they need to keep their mind open to recieve new ideas and information to keep ahead in life.

Right, it's too to difficult to persuade someone who has big ego on what he believes in. In this case, against bitcoin or crypto as a whole.
No matter how many facts or real world use cases you present, they'll just ignore it or find ways to dismiss it. At that point, it's not even about logic anymore, but more about pride and unwillingness to admit they might be wrong which is proven on  many personalities already. Especially those old ones in banking and investment industry. Well, some change of mind and decided to hoop in which the best decision they made.

Sometimes, it's just better to let them be and focus your time on people who are actually open to discussion.

Breaking their high ego is really hard is a first challenge, and there is sometimes another challenge like if they have something to defend such as their business with products that are competitors with Bitcoin.

For example, Peter Schiff, who is famous as a gold enthusiast or maximalist and certainly he is anti Bitcoin severely but one of main reasons is his company builds up products around gold. He knows that if more people invest money in Bitcoin, the capital in society will pour into Bitcoin market more and it will affect the available capital in gold market.

This is just the best thing to do, minding your own business rather than wasting time and effort on someone who does not really want to adopt a new technology, just because of their nonchalant attitude and ego towards new technology. If they are not open to new things, why waste time with them? I can only put in efforts when such a person walks up to me for assistance to teach them about such a technology otherwise I would not waste my precious time on them.

Most likely, some people speak terribly about something because they do not have basic knowledge about it, or due to some bad reviews and false information from others, which results to them  developing that indifference. People changes after they must have done a research about that particular thing that is for someone who is curious and really wants to know if the news in circulation is true, from there they find out the real truth and secret behind it, this is how great men grew, because they do not settle for less or what people say, but rather they carry out their own researches. People who has been stuck with the wrong mindset or doubt about Bitcoin are the ones that has refused to learn nor carryout personal research.

This is why it is not good to always be in a haste to assume, conclude, or judge something or a new technology without having a first hand information on personal research and findings about it. Sometimes, having a personal experience about it could also help you be informed on how the process works, and I believe that was the situation of Michael Saylor when Bitcoin initially launched, and today, the same man who criticised bitcoin early years of its existence is now the same person racing for it. This is why most of the time it is not good to listen to rumours but rather try to get a first-hand prior information and knowledge about a trending innovation or technology before making any judgment so you do not look stupid in the end of it all.

There is no way fiat will be useless fiat will always be useful and still be use for exchange of goods and services while Bitcoin will also be in existence. There are people who can't use Bitcoin some traders in the market some doesn't even know what Bitcoin is all about so while others will be using Bitcoin for other payment and business transaction fiat will also be use for payment and other business transaction.

With all the pros and cons of Bitcoin adoption, I think it's normal for some people to remain skeptical of Bitcoin even after this post was written. Bitcoin is a digital asset or currency that wasn't created by any government. Bitcoin is decentralized, and this is one of the fundamental reasons why the pros and cons arise, and people still doubt Bitcoin. Bitcoin is also highly volatile. Several times, the price of Bitcoin has dropped by more than 40-50%, raising concerns about the risk of Bitcoin becoming a scam in the future. However, Bitcoin continues to recover after major corrections and has also recorded ATHs several times. Some of my friends became convinced of Bitcoin after seeing the halving cycle and the price increase after 2022. Personally, I believe that Bitcoin doubters will remain. And this is a good opportunity for us to continue buying Bitcoin before its adoption becomes more widespread in the future.
