Can someone find any way I can explain to people that bitcoin is not a scam? My friends keep telling me i am being scammed when I buy bitcoin

Well, for starters, you can emphasize that there is no single organization in control of Bitcoin.

This... who is scamming you? Regardless, haters are gonna hate. If they give you shit, quit talking to them about it. Some of my friends are receptive. Others, I have to patiently wait for wider adoption before I can say "I tried to tell you". Only one has invested anything so far (he provided a small amount of USD that I matched with BTC for my liquidity bot to play with), so even if they are open to the idea, most are still skeptical. Only time will solve this.
