When my colleagues at work start talking nonsense about Bitcoin being a big financial pyramid, I can hardly stop myself from laughing out loud in the office.
We all know the signs of financial pyramids very well and only a person who has absolutely no knowledge of how the blockchain works and what Bitcoin is can speak calling this digital work of art a financial pyramid. How many people are lazy, and it is easier for them to commit than to understand the issue and change their destiny.
You should laugh at that, but forget it, there are many more important things than laughing at their stupidity.
I would just leave them with the wrong assumptions about bitcoin rather than bother giving them an explanation. One day they will realize what bitcoin is and why they rejected it in the first place, so just leave them to their stupidity. There is no time to argue with those who reject bitcoin's innovation, they don't believe in bitcoin, but I'm sure they will definitely learn with time.
Someone says bitcoin is haram because of its use in gambling or some other things. They know fiat is also used in the same case, but they never say fiat is haram. If you find people who have thoughts like that, then it's a good idea not to argue.
