Who's laughing & criticising us for investing now hey? The thing is if those people ask my advice to help them get into bitcoin I'll probably still point them in the right direction.

On second thought don't be like them, we need more people to use Bitcoin, even those who were non-believers. Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: RodeoX on April 28, 2017, 07:16:40 PM My neighbor is a financial advisor who warned me about the bitcoin ponzi scam when I introduced him to it. I watched him go through all the stages of BTC from "You can't just create money, it's not allowed", to "well now it costs to much, better to buy alts like stupid-coin, it's not so expensive." The final stage is "Please help me get bitcoins, I'm desperate!" He actually has asked me about doing a presentation at his business because they have had a few questions from clients.
You know what pushed him over the edge? His wife. I gave her some coin to play with on her phone and within weeks they were glued to watching the price. It is easy to understand that they have more money. :D Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: Sundark on April 28, 2017, 07:18:42 PM Guys, I know that we re all happy that Bitcoin price is so high, at the same time we are efficiency of the BTC is at its lowest.
- we have the highest fees ever - network is slow, confirmation are longer that usual - for god's sake we have almost 80k unconfirmed transaction Fix this first and then brag about pumped price. Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: Nagadota on April 28, 2017, 07:54:44 PM People are completely mental to jump on Bitcoin as soon as the price goes up. They should look at the charts and find a dip to buy in instead of trying to get in at the highest point possible.
If someone was desperate to buy in at the 2013 pump for example, they were insane. Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: hello_good_sir on April 28, 2017, 08:18:32 PM Yes fuck 'em. That is something a little bit too expresive, dont you think?I dont see a point in cursing just because of that, i totally admit that the behaviour of this "friend" is really not ok but there is no point in saying things of that kind. More people means that BTC price will go higher, plus the volume of the overall trades is going to increase so thats great for all of us. But on the other hand, less people in the network means more time for us to obtain as many bitcoins as possible, before price going to the moon.

No disrespect to your neighbor intended, but listening to people in the financial world (and also business journalists) is a sure-fire way to lose money. They are especially ignorant about bitcoin.As to OP. I don't have any friends who even know about bitcoin, as I generally don't talk about it in my day-to-day life. I have mentioned it to some coworkers in the past, but they didn't shut me down. They were kind of intrigued. But I'd give 'em the finger anyway.

His expectations were so high that he thought he'll put $5k and have $10k next month ;D When the price fell a bit he sold with a loss, said it was shit and promised to never get near it again. 2 years later he started asking me how my investment is doing because he's thinking about buying some.You know what pushed him over the edge?

Post by: Red-Apple on April 29, 2017, 12:25:36 PM well that is not a nice thing to say!
people make mistakes, we all had our skepticism one way or another. maybe we never have been a dick about it but you can't deny thinking what the hell is bitcoin and mining and all that the first time you heard about it. - we have the highest fees ever - network is slow, confirmation are longer that usual - for god's sake we have almost 80k unconfirmed transaction these 3 are the same thing! and the second one is not technically correct. network is not slow, transactions with lower fee than other get slower confirmation. Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: Emoclaw on April 29, 2017, 12:36:25 PM My thoughts exactly, I've seen so many non-believers now seriously regretting not buying in 2014 when the price was ~$100.

It's the best to make long term goal, and stick to this plan doesn't matter what happen. If something is ''real thing'' as bitcoin, its value will increase over time, of course with occasional ups and downs. If people act in panic (every time) because of a temporary decline in value of bitcoin, they will never become successful and rich.

Post by: LeGaulois on April 29, 2017, 01:05:01 PM I have a few friends in this case, who now are interested in bitcoin. But they are only interested because of the possible profits that can be done. I am not interested to talk with them about this, but prefer to explain them what are the pros and cons to use cryptocurrencies compared to traditionnal money. And i surely not going to tell them to buy bitcoin to make profits "quick". I prefer they make their own due dilligence. In case the price decrase, i don't want to be responsible for their potential lost lol.
Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: Leonard2016 on April 29, 2017, 02:41:21 PM it seems that you lack patience :)
i on the other hand have a lot of it when it comes to introducing bitcoin to someone specially if they are a firend. and believe me when i say i have had lots of them who didn't even accept it at first but they all came around and came back begging for more information. and i always give it to them. they all thanked me later. Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: Kprawn on April 29, 2017, 02:46:23 PM How does he expect you to "hook him up"? Is expecting you to give him bitcoin? You should offer to sell a small amount but add a 20% premium to the price for the pain and suffering he caused you way back when. They usually talk down on you, when you bring up the subject... but when they hear that you actually make some decent money ....then they want to know more. I had the same thing with a family member .... we would have a family dinner and someone else will say, " Oh, I hear you are into Bitcoin. " ..... He will chip in and say something bad like ..." Yea the currency favoured by drug addicts "..... Then you double or triple your investment and they turn on a dime... and shows a lot of interest. :D Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up...

It is easy to understand that they have more money. :D That's why I never took advice from financial advisors. These guys became advisors, because they are bad investors and can't generate a fortune with their own abilities. So they seek jobs, where they get paid for ruining someone else's fortune. :D Buying something just because it has already risen in value shows a total lack of ability in financial judgement. A good investor buys because of analyzing the value of something and buys good values even if everybody else is disinterested / hostile towards the investment. Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: avikz on April 29, 2017, 03:18:06 PM The sweetest revenge is to ignore them and nothing else. Don't share your secrets of earning bitcoin and let them find it on their own. I believe that's how every veteran started their journey with bitcoin. No one showed the way, but still we were able to find the right way to make more money with bitcoin. Let them have the pain.
Because experience comes with pain which really pays off. If I were you, I wouldn't have entertained them at the first place. But let them feel jelous about you because the pricing of bitcoin makes it the most desired investment available in the market. Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: xuan87 on April 29, 2017, 03:30:34 PM I love when that happened, I will asked him to admit he was wrong the whole world and I will teach him a little about bitcoin and asked him to find out by himself for the rest, actually I would love to used his word right in front of his face to make him know he was wrong, but even if he was a pricked , we still need more people to joined to used bitcoin,

Post by: pecson134 on April 29, 2017, 04:01:59 PM If they do cut me once then I can forgive them and I still teach and educate them about bitcoins. I don't usually hate a person for a long time time since it affects me also personally but if they do it again for the second time and again, then it will be a different story.I'll make them regret on what they do to me by showing them how progressive I am on bitcoin industry.
Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: HEWRA on April 29, 2017, 04:04:51 PM I have taught many of my friends about bitcoin, but those who rejected this kind of offer, are not going to be educated by me.
They had a chance, but they didnt want my help, so i let them do it on their own. Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: LemonAndFriesOne on April 29, 2017, 04:22:16 PM Many of us share this sentiment
Right on the head :D :D :D :D :D :D Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up...

The lesson is Do not discuss more than twice with ppl who know nothing about the subject but they underestimate to you. Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: freedomno1 on April 29, 2017, 10:51:28 PM Now that the value has exploded... I was thinking well this is a strange situation Saw the Gif I was like reasonable people still exist in this world ;D It's not charity work let them figure it out or pay you for consulting XD Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up...

Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: Juggy777 on April 30, 2017, 03:37:06 AM Totally can relate to this ever since I got into bitcoin world last year, and told people to buy it at 800+ people laughed at me, they thought I had lost my mind. When when it crossed 1000$ I once again tried to help the fools, but no they just won't listen, instead call it a ponzi, insult you publicly and socially. Now that's gone to moon and above they ping you back, Hey! Bitcoin guy/expert and all kind of buttering, just to find out how to get into it, though felt like ignoring them but then, if I did what's the difference between me and them. So helped them and boy when they meet me now they just can't stop gloating about my help. We all are legends!
Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: JanpriX on April 30, 2017, 04:13:56 AM I really laughed hard on this one. ;D . I actually encountered this few months ago. I introduced this to one of my college friends when BTC is still like $400 apiece. He just ignored me and said that I better exclude him from this ponzi scam that I'm playing with. Like I said, few months ago, out of nowhere, he texted me and asked me if I'm still interested in BTC and if I can teach him how to get hold of it. I replied to him with this text: "I have a lot of it right now. You shouldn't get involved in this type of scam because this will make you rich in the future." Then I completely ignored his texts and calls. ;D
Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: Amph on April 30, 2017, 05:23:56 AM well remember what ghandi said, first they ignore you etc...? this apply perfectly to bitcoin, those people that ignore it at first raising the unbelievable excuses that bitcoin is for terrorist that bitcoin is dead etc...
are the same people that later jump in the bull run when it's already too late, they are the so called fish, that help the whales make their dirty pump and dump some of them don't even know that bitcoin is limited, and rare, and has a deflationary course Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: speem28 on April 30, 2017, 06:02:41 AM I'm pretty much that of a friend that cut my friend who is in to bitcoin when I still do not know anything about it. Well look at me now, I got too attached to bitcoin when it got me interested because of my friend that is earning a decent amount of bitcoin. He always told me that it is better to start doing bitcoin while its early because its value will increase in the near future.
Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: carlfebz2 on April 30, 2017, 06:42:25 AM When I saw the picture It do make me smile because I can relate what it feels man when your friend drags you down because bitcoin is just an another scam online and now the price have rose already and no he will always call or text you up just to teach him again.Since I'm a good person I didn't tell him to fuck off but instead I hook em up again and tell him if you jumped in before then you might be earning decent now. ;D

Quote from: Mahatma Gandhi Unfortunately for His Excellency the movement is likely to grow with ridicule as it is certain to flourish on repression. […] It is for the nation to return an effective answer by organised non-co-operation and change ridicule into respect. Ridicule is like repression. Both give place to respect when they fail to produce the intended effect. […] His Excellency resists the temptation to reply to his critics, meaning thereby that he has not changed his opinion on the many vital matters affecting the honour of India. He is ‘content to leave the issues to the verdict of history.’ Now this kind of language, in my opinion, is calculated further to inflame the Indian mind. […] It will be admitted that non-co-operation has passed the stage ridicule. Whether it will now be met by repression or respect remains to be seen. Opinion has already been expressed in these columns that ridicule is an approved and civilized method of opposition. The viceregal ridicule though expressed in unnecessarily impolite terms was not open to exception. But the testing time has now arrived. In a civilized country when ridicule fails to kill a movement it begins to command respect. Quite relevant if I may say so myself. Time and time again I've implied to those close to me that they should embrace bitcoin. And now...as it rises in all of it's glory they will be the ones with their mouths hung agape. Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: tinus42 on June 01, 2017, 01:51:52 PM Urrgh I told ppl when Bitcoin was worth double digits in $ and they were not interested. You don't make the decisions for them.

Title: Re: When your friend that cut you up about bitcoin now wants you to hook him up... Post by: webtricks on June 01, 2017, 01:57:10 PM Now that the value has exploded... No doubt, Bitcoin prices exploded unexpectedly this year and probably gonna surprise us more by the end. But if we talk about friends and acquaintances, I guess I am first one to know about Bitcoin. So here case is different and others gain knowledge about Bitcoin from me. Opposite to motion, I encourage them about Bitcoin. |
