I think a lot of people around us has told us that Bitcoin is a FAD or a SCAM or a Ponzi scheme.
Yeah, I heard this plenty of times - but always from people who have no idea how blockchain, bitcoin or cryptocurrency works - even remotely.
So at this point, I don't pay attention to uneducated comments like these.
Some of our closest relatives have told us to SELL before the BUBBLE will burst. {guess we hear that enough?}
My family is telling me that all the time, sell BTC before it will be worth zero $0 and they are always nagging me to sell it ASAP.
The media is telling everyone that Bitcoin is the tool of criminals and terrorists and child pornographers and paedophiles.
Again, media need to say alive - and what is selling the best? Drama, FUD, problems and catchy headlines like "Terrorists are using Bitcoin to buy weapons in Syria!"
It is funny how easy you can smear Bitcoin - you don't need any serious evidence and there is no company, central authority to defend it! So it is like a perfect scapegoat.
