So I asked my friends regarding their opinions and impressions about bitcoin and their answers made me laugh. One of my friends answered:
"Bitcoin? Bitcoin is used for transactions in deepwebs to buy drugs!"
So they think that bitcoin = deepwebs. So they stay away from bitcoin thinking it was illegal
Another one:
"Its just a waste of time. You will not earn from it"
And when you give him proof that bitcoin is valuable they'll be like "omg teach me how!!" Lol
And lastly,
"Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a scam"
So yea they think bitcoin is fraud and a scam.
It's so funny to think that people who don't have knowledge about bitcoin automatically thinks that bitcoin is a scam because of the issues regarding bitcoin scamming. So yeah.
Well, we cannot blame them for having those kind of mindset or mentality. It is just that those are the only thing that they know about bitcoin. I think it is our responsibility, us bitcoin users to inform them and to remove the misinformation they have. Maybe their assumptions are basically coming from the media and maybe they misinterpreted some of these news but again, we bitcoin users, maybe we can help to grow the bitcoin community by informing other people of what bitcoin really is, its legitimacy and it's beneficiality on how it can help them.
