One of the most difficult tasks or challenges I've had is openly discussing the multitudes of positives that bitcoin has, with others that are skeptics.
I've been studying/reading/buying bitcoin since 2016. It's the best invention I've seen in my 50 years on this planet. The ability for anyone around the world, to take custody of their own money. The ability to transact with anyone, around the world, at any given time. The open ledger (blockchain) to hold all transaction accountable (that even the US Gov doesn't have). The limited amount (21 million). The security. The uptime. I could go on...
But of all the discussions I've had with co-workers, friends, and relatives about bitcoin, it seems to fall on deaf ears. In fact, if talking to more than one person, it seems to be almost a witch-hunt on how bad of a ponzi bitcoin is, and how 'it is backed by nothing', etc.
Now I realize that this reaction comes out of either fear, ignorance, or not knowing enough about it. But no matter how hard I try to educate someone on the positives, it falls on deaf ears with some. And it's deflating to the core.
I've been in this space for 6-7 years. I can't imagine how tough it must be for some of you OG's. Do you still try to enlighten others, or do you relinquish to the fact that you aren't really gonna change someone's opinion, only they can do that?
You shouldn't have to think about it until it makes you dizzy, sir.
If it turns out that there are still many people who don't consider your thoughts about Bitcoin.
Not everyone can agree with our thoughts and we cannot force our thoughts on others.
At least you have expressed your thoughts, if they don't agree with your thoughts then let them.
No need to think about it, it's better to give the knowledge and thoughts you have mastered about Bitcoin to interested people or people who ask you for advice.
That's better than continuing to debate people who can't and don't want to understand and study the potential of Bitcoin.
