Recently, he expressed his frustration about his teacher and classmates labeling bitcoin as a ponzi scheme or a scam each time he talks about it. I'm seeking a variety of advice that I can offer to my nephew in this situation. Although his father suggested that he should stop discussing bitcoin, I don't feel comfortable with that approach. What are your thoughts on this matter?
It is undeniable that currently there are still many people who consider bitcoin as a Ponzi scheme, or as a deceptive asset. Even though all of these assumptions, are really wrong opinions. Because ponzi schemes are the complete opposite of what is applied to the bitcoin system, so people who call bitcoin a ponji scheme really appear to be that these people only value bitcoin from their dislike of bitcoin, and maybe from the news who vilify bitcoin. So these people call bitcoin as a ponzi scheme or as a fraudulent asset, just because of this factor, and it seems that these people have never even studied bitcoin, so bad opinions arise about bitcoin.
So in essence, don't take or respond too seriously, about bitcoin opinions that come out of the mouths of people like that. Because these people are just talking nonsense and have no clear evidence or experience about the opinions they issue. And in conclusion (to your cousin), stop talking about bitcoin with his schoolmates or teacher. Because talking about bitcoin with people like that will only make your mind heat up and make you want to get angry. Because maybe their thoughts about bitcoin, are not on the same frequency as your thoughts.
