Hello everyone!
I think it would be good if we can convince these people that they are wrong. I know that an obvious way to do it would be an education, which will help A LOT. But as for now, do you think there are other ways to change these people's opinions?
Like would it be good if we could create a system that somehow will make the life of criminals who use Bitcoin harder?

The issue with Bitcoin is that it's been associated with altcoins and they're the ones scamming yet Bitcoin is getting the bad reputation. All the failed altcoins that crashed due to greed are affecting the general market.

It'll be very hard to distinguish Bitcoin from others as people will always call them cryptocurency when referring to the market. We have to do our best in letting whoever we see making this false accusations about Bitcoin to understand the truth.

Every currency can be misused and right now the advantages of Bitcoin is been misused by mostly the scammers and that's the reason behind the bad reputation. We have to always let critic understand what Bitcoin really is all about whenever we encounter them.

Agreed since I have heard other peoples opinion and it all involves that they think it is just an investment scam. But, if you ask them, it is not the bitcoin really is the reason why they see it that way. Most are really the altcoins that dump really so hard that they know someone who lost their investment because of this. This is kind of hard to clean the image of bitcoin as an independent coin since it would always be associated with altcoins that has poor performance in the market.

We shouldn't go out of our way to change perception of BTC frankly speaking op. Many people will always hate on BTC and other cryptocurrencies since they aren't smart enough to understand the advantages related to them.

However, as time passes, more and more people are beginning to realise how revolutionary BTC truly is due to various reasons and shift from haters to supporters just like that.

BTC's reputation is a mixed bag which will always stay that way op.

The thing that we can do is to continue share the good words about bitcoin specifically so that a lot would really see the potential of it independent with other altcoins. I agree that it is still a challenge and that education with these new innovations would make it be acceptable by more people in the future.
