Same Here Buddy !
When I hear about crypto and blockchain, I told my friend that it would the next big thing but they make fun of it, that it is virtual thing, its gambling, govt. not supporting it. But know that came to me and ask
Hey, I wanna learn about crypto trading and investing, Guide me....
First they reject, when they know its potential then they start learning it...
It will always be hard at first for people to believe in you but once they start seeing that you are making huge profits from it, that's the time that they will start believing in you too. In short, people need proofs so they will believe in us.
However, crypto trading is now popular nowadays so even if people won't believe in us, they will still be reading it from the internet and even hearing other people who are also into crypto trading.
That is the way most people are, it is known that many people disregard statistical evidence in favor of information they get through experience or from a trusted person, so if someone were to tell them they can obtain profits by trading bitcoin, they are not going to believe it, even if it is obvious someone must be obtaining profits out of the whole deal otherwise there would not be a whole industry around it.
But it is not until definitive evidence is shown to them right on front of their faces when they finally begin to believe something like this is possible.
Another factor that is at play is that even if someone knows something is possible they think they do not have what is necessary to reach that goal, however if a family member or a friend shows them they are capable of doing then they think they can do is as well, after all if you can do it then they can do is as well.
