Exactly.People always hear bitcoin as a scam and is used in some illegal activities so they tend to lost their interest somehow.And the fact that they are not knowledgeable about bitcoin,only depends on heresays,will make them more ignorant whats the truth about bitcoin and how it works knowing its still full of potentials.

The main reasons why many people are not interested on bitcoin are because of lack of knowledge and false information because they believe that bitcoin is a scam.

we cannot avoud on this world that there will always be people who will hate something even how good it is. Its just the nature of the people. But what I can say is that I pity them because of that.

Such news cannot effect the image of bitcoin too much. Actually not only bitcoin but all round every currency may be use for illegal activities, but these cannot stop people from using it, bitcoin has now become part of our daily life, and in every instant its important is increasing, therefore bitcoin popularity will continue increasing, and people will like to continue using bitcoin and do investment there.

In that case, I agree that bitcoin has become more prominent even though some were linked to illegal activities. But I don't believe that those using bitcoin for illegal activities wasn't subjected by authority sanctions on law. If those were victims of a person who scam people that's interested with bitcoin, then it means that many of them engaged with bitcoin in a wrong ways of handling their funds, entrusting it with strangers or swindlers.

Many people around me who also ignore this bitcoin opportunity. Even they assume that bitcoin is useless and they judge that I will not get any profit in bitcoin. But, I am still desperate to join bitcoin. I analyze that those who hate bitcoin because they can not open with technology, they want an instant income. But, in bitcoin business, we are required to be patient if you want to get big profits. Only short-minded people who want income in instant. When all that takes process.

Even how huge the potential of earnings are still the decision is for individual. I couldn't decide for you to engage here or whatever for you have your own decision making. What matter's is not the potential of earnings but the choice that we made. Even others won't believed you coz that was their choice.

There are risks also as prices are volatile. Some people think traditionally and thus they might not be interested in bitcoins.

Those people that ignore the opportunity given bitcoin because they've got the opportunity in other crypto currency. I think the bitcoin wins in terms of name and popularity. In technology and transaction speed, bitcoin is lost to some other crypto currencies, such as ethereum and ripple. This is what makes someone not interested in bitcoin anymore. To make transactions, bitcoin takes a long time, 10 minutes. It's very time-consuming for an investor. Bitcoin also can not do many transactions at a time. Bitcoin will also be unstable when hard fork. Additionally, the bitcoin price that has recently gone down makes bitcoin lose the trust of the people. They consider bitcoin to be extinct and even worthless if the price goes down.
