Dis is a really dumb conclusion your friend did, like what sort of conclusion is this? Bcos someone can deposit using bitcoin to a scam website then its not friendly Shey dem no get scam wey you go use other currency like naira deposit? All dem these Ponzi schemes wey dey happen for Nigeria?
With these his conclusions I can just advice you to save your energy instead of trying to convince him about bitcoin because I dont think he will accept the truth..

What I understood from him is that, he terrible experience has made him dislike bitcoin without having the knowledge that bitcoin is not scam but anyone can use it as a tools to scam people, same thing happens to fiat I mean our local currency that anyone can scam you through the local currency if you do not make proper research about the place and here you are to put your money into.
Terrible experience? He fell for a popular Ponzi and eventually lose his money possible because of his greed and now hes blaming Bitcoin for his mistake, that doesnt make any sense.

I believe that there are more people who are like this outside your country that someone might have scam them through bitcoin whereby they wouldnt have that joy or fun to engage themselves into bitcoin investment because of ugly experience they had through bitcoin.
No be by force say make everybody invest in bitcoin nah, so let everybody dey on his own theyll later find out what they missed.
