Bitcoin Forum

Was just kind of curious if many of you also tend to get random calls or texts every time bitcoin goes on one of it's runs from family/friends/acquaintances asking you about bitcoin/how it works etc.  I'm also curious if you're getting more calls/texts this time around, or about the same as other rallies?

 I found bitcoin back in 2013/14 so many of my friends and family members know this and I always get calls/texts during times like these.  Often conversations from people I've not spoken to in some time. This conversation I think can provide a unique insight on where things might be heading..

Not yet, but I am sure they are coming, at least where I live bitcoin has not been on the the spotlight as much as it was on 2017 so I think that is the reason for the apparent lack of interest at the moment coming from my acquaintances, however once the media gives huge attention to bitcoin once again I am sure I am going to receive lots of calls, but I will admit I am nervous, during the last bull run several of my friends wanted to invest when we were basically at the top and I told them not to do it, most of them followed my advice except one which lost a lot of money as a result of this and then he blamed me for the whole thing, and when I pointed out that I did in fact warned him against it and I had several witnesses about it he just stopped talking to me, so for some time I have remained silent about my involvement on the market so this does not happen again.

It would be heading on where they do ask out on how to make money and basing off that youre an early fella who get involved with Bitcoin in years 2013/14 then its safe to presume that
your have lots of money at this moment. lol. and its just normal for your family,relatives and acquittances to get curious on things on where your involved on.
In my case, im not really that receiving calls or desperate kind of visits into my house just to talk about it but there are some times where i do see my relatives and seeing my
driving on a car which i had bought with my crypto profits which did really shook them up and asked out on what ive been doing and what are the things im connected.

Just a few messages on facebook from my friends, but from family members, yes, they will tell me that they have seen bitcoin in mainstream news and how the price is doing as of this time. I agree, this is the same as the last bull run in 2017, I got a lot of calls or text or messages in facebook or on my any other social media asking about bitcoin, so this is another sign that we are heading for another bull run. But it goods to tell others what bitcoin is and what it can do for them, financially.

after the last bull market and news of how rich those involved are brought unexpected attention, it was difficult to cope in the bear market for those that invested in some shit coin. It is more difficult for me to let people know my position in cryptocurrency and had reduce my presence on social media around cryptocurrency, It is the reason for my absence from social media campaign in bounties. I want everyone to take risk according hi capacity and blame no one if it fails.

what you say is of course possible because you have provided a lot of information to your colleagues or relatives, you will always be asked or inquire about bitcoin because right now about crypto it has become the talk of many people so it is appropriate to always ask about these developments. and I also appreciate that you have been working for a long time, of course a lot of experiences have been received.

but I myself have never really experienced what is being told because it is clear that information about crypto in my place is still very minimal and rarely do people know and ignore anything about it because there is still a large need for socialization. but among young people, especially students, it has started to get its own appreciation.

Recently it happened with one of my cousin. He volunteered to know about bitcoin while we're into discussion about education. He opened up about so many mechanical engineering related topics as he's pursuing his professional course on Mechanical Engineering. I was listening to it, and on random conversation he requested to know about bitcoin. I started to brief it in a simple way about its virtual presence and value fluctuation.

After few minutes I got disturbed, because he should believe or else he needs to know through different services available to know the legitimacy. I need to brief further, but his words weren't so comfy. Most of the time I prefer to give basic and request them to learn by themselves which is better.

Any time when there's a spike in bitcoin, i do get random calls, social medias like facebook/whatsapp but most especially whatsapp, cos i'd make use of my whatsapp status features to publish my updates about bitcoin.
Just about a few hours ago, a guy chatted me up requesting to know about bitcoin, like i always told them, i will give them some free e-books and still refer them to make use Google..
It very tiring explaining to them over and over again when they refuse to use Google   

Yes I do. A friend of mine suddenly contacted me asking about bitcoin, he is curious and asking if he can learn and what he needs to do, such that. Actually it happens every time when the price of bitcoin is suddenly increasing. The trend made them being curious about what is going on in the cryptocurrency world.

None so far.
I stopped updating any of my profiles on social media informing my relatives that I'm into bitcoin after the all-time high. But in 2017, a lot were asking me as if I'm totally rich by that time but no, it's all because they see the price of bitcoin and thinking that they'll become rich as quickly as they can. Maybe after a day or two, somebody will send me an SMS or call asking how they can buy.

So brace yourself everyone, I'm pretty sure we will get all the attention from friends and families, in our social media nagging us about our beloved BTC. I haven't heard anything though, but there was a message in my Facebook account from a friend that was also in crypto trying to connect me and himself about another old friend specially all about crypto trading and investing. I never bother to answer it though, hehehe. And I'm sure we all know where this is heading so it's either you shutdown your social media presence, or answer your old acquaintances questions about crypto and bitcoin, it's your call.  :)

Such a coincidence to see this today as I received one of my neighbor's call in which she talked to me for an hour over phone, and she asked me about btc in between and I told her why didn't she invest when I asked her to. She engaged into a meaningful discussion with me about btc and all other aspects of it and talked around half an hour about crypto only. This price rise will surely bring more people in crypto because after PayPal's announcement, it seems btc is very happy with the type of mass adoption it is getting.

Only a few Facebook messages ask about bitcoin development and what the current price is. For calls and text messages from people closest to me are still not there, as I tend to be closed off with my work on this forum and about bitcoin. If I am honest about my work with my office friends or the closest people besides my family, there will be many questions that will be asked and of course it will force me to tell you how to get bitcoin and get money from it. It will certainly take up my time.

Nope, not really unless if I have a lots of bitcoins and was verified by relative or family or worst by the scammers that are trying to scam you as they tend to introduce theirselves as  the member of the family. Well, this scamming activity is happening not only related to bitcoin but also to other means of getting financial aspects like prepaid load or your money in the banks.

So, make if you are recieving text with anyone asking for bitcoin or money then verify first before giving it. Scamming is rampant in text and they always use the emergency situations to confuse you so that you will going to give their demands without hesitations that if you will going to believe on them.

Naturally, as a friend, they'll find you become busy and ask what you do. But I'd never expected calls or text from strangers, not sure if I am able to answer it and give some tips. That telling about Bitcoin to them is not sensible, it might give them an open-eye or it gives them interest as well which might encourage them to invest as well. But we should only give such information to the right person and for those who want to listen to us, not just like asking "How much you earn this now?"

That curiosity among friends and relatives gives you also the confidence that they are supporting you and that also they need some shares on how to do it and so they can be like you in the future.

Yes, sometimes a friend will try to send me a message asking about what bitcoin is. Some of my friends became curious and interested on bitcoin because they witnessed what bitcoin does to the lives of other cryptocurrency users example of this are some of our colleagues. I'm glad that they are also trying to embrace the knowledge of cryptocurrency. They want to know if the bitcoin is a good investment so that they would try to invest on itt.

Due to Bitcoin's recent bull run, its natural, everyone is getting their attention back here, we are already close to making a new ATH soon.
Even if your friends are not asking, you should give them the knowledge about bitcoin because its a one in lifetime opportunity and we shouldnt miss the evolution.

Yes I did.

One of my friends contacted me to tell me that he regrets selling and another one messaged me to ask if it's a good time to buy.

It was when Bitcoin broke 12 thousand and I told him that every moment is a good moment to buy and that I thought he got something when we were at sub 10 thousand. I haven't heard from him since, hope he bought some.

Right now, I haven't received any message from my social friend/family. I'm expecting someone will message me asking about bitcoin again if the bitcoin price will become news again on our local news. Like before, when our local news shows the bitcoin price, almost all the people know that I'm earning bitcoin message me about it, and they think it's an easy way to earn money.

If people around you know you are bitcoin investor, then with bitcoin bull run and massive news on media, they will try to contact you for advise and more.

My experience and my advise are:

• Give them basics and let them time to self-discover about bitcoin.
• Emphasize that
  
  • They should afford loses before they can get profits
  • Prepare knowledge to avoid scams
  • Don't make loan to invest especially if they don't have any idea and plan for their investment
• Don't accept Investment trust from people around you, you can get troubles.
• Why?
  
  • Those guys don't have any idea about bitcoin and bitcoin market.
  • They only want profits: being greed and don't afford losses. They dump their pressure on you with questions, profits, etc. Manage own funds always easier and have more fun than manage funds of the others.
  • It's bad to accept all risk and pressure when they are always greed and lazy

I only discuss bitcoin with my mom. She is quite interested in this asset. Although my mom is a little bit obsolete and she does not understand technologies well, bitcoin always get her attention. Mostly whenever she hear bitcoin on a newspaper, she will ask me what the current price is. And when I told her it had already $15000, she is shocked lol. I guess my mother love to make money by investing bitcoin but she never have a chance to do it. We are living in a place where purchasing bitcoin is a tough mission

My friends are a whole different story. They dont even care about bitcoin or anything related to the cryptocurrency. They are not fascinated with online investment and although many of them want to be rich, they does not willing to learn or obtain new perception from anyone. And I dont want to waste my time explaining them how profitable bitcoin is. They have to learn and ask by themselves

I no think so hahahaha .... i live in small village and most of the people do not understand technology and language.
Sometimes I give information about bitcoin to some friends, but they don't really respond because of language and technology problems.

But not everyone is like that, there are also some who are still playing bitcoin.

Some friends, but they don't really understand what bitcoin is, they thought bitcoin is a ponzi and they are asking me if what bitcoin I'm investing, me... are you serious? bitcoin is only one, there's no other bitcoin.  ;D

This time, I don't get more calls/texts about bitcoin or asking me about bitcoin from friends or family because it seems, they are busy to work or search for the new work in an offline job. But I manage to have a conversation in my WhatsApp group to discuss bitcoin, where the price will go to the end of this year. Still, that is only a discussion to pass the time while we are watching the bitcoin price moves. Maybe they will ask me about bitcoin once they see bitcoin price can increase step by step, and probably, they will ask if they are late or not to buy bitcoin.

Yes,ofcourse many text message messages  & call from my friend circle. Sometimes my family members tell me different types of news about cryptocurrencies. I advised also my known persons to invest in the crypto currency to get good earnings in future.

If I was a Bitcoin newbie,I would never do this.I mean,I'm watching TV and I see that the Bitcoin price goes up,so I decide to call my best friend(who is familiar with BTC) and ask him should I buy Bitcoins.
This sounds pretty stupid and ignorant.Everyone should do his own research and decide on their own whether or not to buy Bitcoin.Asking friends and family about financial advise is the dumbest thing to do.

Since I started investing in Bitcoin I have influenced some friends to invest in Bitcoin too. I was receiving unexpected text and calls before. Today, I don't share about Bitcoin the same as before because only a few people will truly understand the concept, a lot of people  who asked me about crypto has a wrong perception about it as a mere tool to earn money.

If the topic such as Bitcoin presents itself I will speak my part and knowledge on its topic.  I might know more than most other people on topic of crypto.
It becomes tricky when people ask about financial advise since I am not in the position to give any advice for investing.
Doing your own research is what I tell them since I can not be at fault if people lose money.

It is actually strange that in 2017 I received a lot more calls than today: it's either my old friends already invested or they invested everything in some altcoins and lost everything. They hated me because I was only talking bitcoin, guess why  ;)  If somebody will start calling me againg I would rather avoid to reply

I don't and I prefer not to.

To be honest, in our family I'm the only one who knows Bitcoin and I don't like to share it to them for some reasons. One is that instead of learning it, they will just ask Bitcoins to me so in short they will ask money for me instead of learning it themselves which is for me I don't like the most. Another one is that most of my family members aren't that literate in financial things and I don't have capability to teach them and last is they are not interested into investments and assets base on my experience.

Most of the people who know me have some kind of idea that I'm into cryptocurrencies. Some friends on social media to see me share about possible scams that could take your money. I receive messages regarding Crypto and asking me how to earn from it. I believe that it increased by a lot because many people are considering getting more income streams because of the situation we are all in right now. I'm not going to ignore their messages because I want to help.

I had the same conversation with my parents back then, they discouraged any financial endeavors I want to take. If they ever ask about bitcoin though, I will just tell them what I know and refer them to the resources that I have used to grow my knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.

This time - no, but during the last bull run I got contacted by some of my friends and relatives, and I don't like it. It's not like they asked or implied that I for some reason should share my newfound wealth with them, but it still rubbed me the wrong way. If I could turn back time, I would have made it so that no one even knew that I'm involved in Bitcoin, so I won't have to deal with situations like this, and generally feel more safe, because words travel far, and who knows to whom my friends talked about my involvement in Bitcoin?

I was lucky because during the times when someone introduced bitcoin to me I became interested and took advantage of the opportunity that there were some people willing to teach and guide me. The same thing happens to me now because they see on social media in my posts about cryptocurrency so some friends or family members are now becoming interested in bitcoin and wanted to learn how does it work. And i'm also willing to help them as long as i can.

Haha this is happening now to everyone right?

I mean those people who knew we are doing crypto thing since 10 years ago now wondering what is that shit , how could you earn so much money , how could you transfer the money so quickly overseas etc.
I've been asked that kind questions since long time ago but it's true thesedays the demands getting more and more , even from someone that i rarely have a conversation with lol.
It's a super hot topic!

I introduced bitcoin to my friend and how important bitcoin is and since then, I have received several calls from him and other people asking about bitcoin.

At first I didn't know anything about Bitcoin but later I found out about Bitcoin through a friend of mine. She taught me about bitcoin and they have a group all information about Bitcoin is available through this group. Everyone is now investing in bitcoin there is a lot of potential for Bitcoin prices to rise in the future they are advising me to invest and if I want to know any information about Bitcoin can get updated information.

Actually, Way back before, the opposite happened to me, I am the one pushing Bitcoin to my friends and family but the only thing I could get is rejection. I tried harder but most of the time, they will just say that it is hard to understand and the traditional digital transaction is way better in which I couldn't contradict. They have their own business and I need to respect that. I just continue using bitcoin and found better opportunities with it. Now that I can contribute to our bills, slowly they are getting curious about bitcoin and asking a bit about it.

I am still always willing to teach so I gave them sites to read and learn especially to share our forum. But I think focusing on them with the mindset of earning money isn't really the right thing to push. We need to teach them to understand the value of bitcoin so real market adoption will take place where people will value what they hold, and eventually soon, bitcoin's volatility will somehow become better.

After their few questions and inquiries from you, this usually where things are heading into, and I totally agree with this point.
I've experienced this scenario, a friend of mine once asks me too use his money to invest in any cryptocurrency. I told him about the risk and that he'll need to learn the fundamental things about cryptocurrency to avoid the "trust issues" against me when things go south. Then he agreed, and learn from there. So, the next thing I told him that he can now invest to any crypto you like on your own.
That's once of the best decision that I made when somebody get to me ask about Bitcoin.

Some of my friends asked me about bitcoin, a lot of questions on how they can acquire btc. This was started when I just shared in my social media about bitcoin. When there’s a news on cryptocurrency they just curious on how I started to earn but, they usually good at first but not interested to learn more about it. It complicates them and can't easily understand this cryptocurrency.

Actually I've received some random SMS and random calls from a random people not from a friend or a family but from a random people who I really don't know who they are. To be honest if this will occur or came to you then you must know that this is already a scam because we the one's who have a knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency was not a fool to be deceived by those kind of sms and calls.

Same here a lot of friends asked me about bitcoin and what this bitcoin is all about, but they are ending up interested on the first but eventually losing interest after explaining to them how it works, right now there are a lot of people asking me again just because they saw the news that bitcoin is kind of pumping and pumping right now.

I have experience during these Pandemic one of my friend ask me if it's fine to invest his money with his other coworker that is doing trading that will let his money turns into double in just 3 months thru bitcoin. I told him price is not guaranteed and I can teach him to do trading and do it on his own but he have no interest at all to learn so I'm not sure whether he push the investing or not.

As the scams related to cryptocurrency continues to spread in our country, some of my friends are concerned. In certain instances, they left a message saying how I need to be careful with my investment. Knowing that various Ponzi schemes are reported this year. Since some of them have an insight into cryptocurrency, they often ask what are the coins good to invest in, where to start and what are the current factors that affect the price of bitcoin. It may be difficult to explain over and over again, but that is better than seeing them take a risk and lose.

call and text really ? they must be old school hehe because society now are more on messaging app online . long distance comunication is fine if they are busy or far away but if this are your friends and families , they wont be far from you and its always better to talk this things more closely because btc was hard to understand to some people  .

 before when im playing a game i know a friend there online and he also ask me one time about btc but that was when btc price was still low. price has no relation to the interest of the people

Not call/text but they are asking directly in front of me if how bitcoin works and how they can get it. My friends being curious and want to learn that's why I teach them about cryptocurrency. My family member also ask what is the value of bitcoin now because last year they know that bitcoins value is lower. They are aware that my work is only in crypo while stay at home that's why they want to get news on me related to crypto.

I had once but not from a family but from a friend.  Asking about investment in bitcoin and ethereum and that was the time when btc was at $6,000 and ethereum price was less than a hundred. I am thinking if only he managed his mind to invest in btc he could probably now winning the profit but sadly he missed the opportunity.

Some are actually asking me directly about it. Though they usually get the wrong idea about it since they knew it as a way to earn money and not the way how people are actually want to use it in online transactions. Some talk to me not to ask what is it or what do I do with it but they talk that it might be illegal and it is best for me to stop doing it which is actually weird since they did not know it is legal here in our country.

I received some message from old friends even from some relatives asking about advice and things about crypto.
I would just answer them on everything that they would ask and wouldn't add anything so conversation would be short.

Of course, I have been asked several time about bitcoin by colleagues. But none of them were interested in learning bitcoin be it how it works, why bitcoin is valuable because they just wanted to know how to make money from bitcoin. From this I can conclude that the bitcoin they know is an asset that can give them an advantage regardless of how they get it including trading, working in bounty campaign and so on. Therefore, I am not interested in teaching them too many detail because I would not dare recommend any mean if they really didn't know how bitcoin and crypto work. Trading is very risky for them, also bounty campaign will be a waste of time though not all.

Only a few friends on me knew I'm into cryptocurrency which is why I don't receive random calls from them. But I have my sister and brother whom I have introduced to Bitcoin since 2017. They were even trying to buy on Paypal last month when the news comes, they are the only two people who call me for an update about crypto.

I don't know if I'd be amused if someone randomly just dials my number. I don't wanna be blamed whenever someone loses their money but I'm okay with my sister and brother. I know they won't file a legal suit against me.

Same situation where Im bit get pissed when they are forcing to tell me on how to make money not in the means on learning bitcoin about its true usage.

They do force it out just because they do saw that I have some upgraded way of lifestyle and that's the time they do get interested.

I do also receive lots of questions and queries about on Bitcoin but I didn't bother to explain to them yet I do know the common line on what they do gonna asked first.

I receive each time a lot of message and phone calls during pump time. "Please take my money and buy bictoin" This is the most typical phrase, but I never host for others. No one want learns, since everyone want just "get easy profit with magic internet money".
Most of times people it's also sending me news from general newspapers (example, the most hyped news in those days is related silk road wallet).

I always deny the message or phone calls from my friends who want me to use their money to trade because I do not feel right to do that. I always say that I am not good at trading, and I have a chance to lose, and I don't want to risk their money with my trading time. I suggest to them to learn by themselves and search for the lesson from many sources, but I can assist them if they have trouble in trading.

If they don't want to learn by themselves, I will say to them not to try buying bitcoin or trading bitcoin because they can not see the loss that can happen to them anytime.

Yes, lately I receive a lot of calls and emails from relatives asking about the future situation of bitcoin.
To me, this is a very good signal because it seems that cryptocurrencies are spreading more and more and people are looking to make money trading bitcoin. It is clear that the major financial funds in the US are really blowing a breath of fresh air into the crypto market, helping people to be more interested in the coins here. :)
I always hope that one day Bitcoin is legalized around the world and then blockchain technology will make it easier for businesses to operate and grow.

   ;D ;D ;D ;D

I do get random chats on WhatsApp from friends and families when they notice a certain increment or when the media gets to announce a certain development on Bitcoin. It is fun actually, I always give them my verdict in case they would want to invest in Bitcoin.

I am also receiving chats from my cousins asking if I can teach them what I am doing to earn money, and for me, that is not easy to explain since they know nothing about cryptocurrency. I am joining signature campaigns and supporting a particular project and doing my task while obeying the forum and the signature rules. That might be hard for them to start since we are considering merits earned now but maybe if they hustle hard and study everything about cryptocurrency they might earn also maybe not by joining signatures but by investing or trading.

There is no way you will be making it big from bitcoin or even any other source that people will not be inquisitive on how you are making it, how can we also make it, show us the way. 2017 was exceptionally attractive to many attentions, even with little I made people will always ask me to hint them about bitcoin, ofcourse when I see people who has the spirit it takes to make it here, I tell them how, but those who just want to run into the money and doesn't want to pay any sacrifice,I dudge them.

So far, I haven't receiving any kind of calls or messages coming from my friends and closest family members asking about Bitcoin for I just tend to work on my own and I do not actually bother explaining it to them for they will just find it too hard to understand even after countless of explanations which is because they are not actually into technology related stuffs. Let me just say they were up into traditional way of living which sums it up why they are not bothering me on asking such questions about Bitcoin for they do not entirely know about it. Here in my country, mostly millennials are the once who knew about Bitcoin and only few from older generation have interest on knowing about it. I have cousins that have been asking me sometimes but that was just all about curiousity and nothing comes next after that.

Majority will really have that kind of intention and if the  time that they dont able to get on what they had expected then they do just simply leave but for those who do
work hard or even make up more research are the ones who do usually get the reward but of course it is needed for you to make some risk or you wont really be heading somewhere.
On people who do ask out then i do mostly ignore them because majority is really talking or asking about on how to make money but instead i do just tell them to
make some search first on whats bitcoin and understand even the basics.If they do get interested and ask me not mainly on making money then thats
the time i might consider on giving out some explanation.

This shows how little thought people put into their words and actions, even if an asset skyrockets if the amount of it that you have is small then you are not going to get great benefits out of it, however as soon as they learn that you are involved in bitcoin they immediately make the assumption that you should be rich, in my case bitcoin has without a doubt improved my life but I am not rich and unless we see the price reaching incredibly levels soon that is going to be true for the long term, but I do not mind, I just hope that it does not happen the same to you that it happened to me and someone losses money while investing in bitcoin and then that person blames you even if you warned him against the idea.

That's appropriate for him to ask, because you are part of the family and they know what your busy life is at home, namely work from home. they ask only to confirm your progress in work and analyze all about your work.

if they ask, answer as much detail as possible and don't hide anything. who knows they have good potential, have ideas, and are able to implement them well so as to create a new ecosystem or breakthrough. You can put out everything you know, but if you're starting to run out of your wits when answering, you can take advantage of this forum and Google

For me I did not receive any text or calls from my family, friends or cousin talking about bitcoin or asking on me.
And actually they did not we talking about it because no one asking on me on how I earn money even do I dont have job yet because of this pandemic situation. If they asking me about bitcoin maybe I should tell them on how the way to earn in bitcoin if they are interested but if not well I have no choice I let them be.

I did receive some text from my friend, telling me that his friends of friends are using Bitcoin and asking me how to have some.

If someone asks me what is Bitcoin, i always simply direct them to the official website and made the cashless payment system as an example.

I have a friend who is always asking me about Bitcoin because he wants to invest in it. However, he thinks of it as a shortcut to success which is a wrong mindset. I don't want him to blame me in the end so I want to educate him about its risks first. It's a long process of learning but it's a good thing that he's eager to learn about it. Well, there's still nothing wrong with sharing our knowledge.

Yes, that's something that needed to be changed before starting to invest inside this venue, with volatilities he will sure lose
his investment instead of growing it.


That's the thing, people always wanted to point their fingers, so better to let him understand it first before you proceed in
teaching them.


Agree to that, just need to build a proper mindsets such eagerness accompanied by patience will deliver him to a better chances
of succeeding to this investment journey.

For the current situation, the price of Bitcoin is high now in compared to the few days back. So it is now in the mainstream news in everywhere. Friends, family and colleguages are discussing about the pricing in current moment. I think Bitcoin will stable and will pump within a few days again. We can hope for the best.

No because bitcoin is not yet establish and known here in our place. Only few scammers are also using bitcoin to scam here in our place. Mostly the currency that we are using in exchange are the fiat currencies. Bitcoin I think is still young compared to the fiat currencies tha each and every country has. But I believe one day the bitcoin will going to emerge in a mix centralized - decentralized currencies in tue future as it was been traded to fiat.

Nope, but I am more careful if I had receive a text or call asking for bitcoin or money or load or something. I usually get suspicious and that will help me to avoid getting into scam. Usually I do verify first if all the said things in the text or call are true and I should get some help. However, no one had known that I have a crypto or I have but it is just for fun holding those coins that everytime I check it amazes me that I had the coins being held.

My family and friends never call or text me about the bitcoin but actually I already teach them in person using some information and also the giving them a video who can help to them to know the bitcoin.

But sad to say that they did not continue bitcoin or even trading of what I teach them but they tried like few weeks I think and they give up and they did not ask me again to the bitcoin.

Im just hoping some of friends calls or text me about bitcoin because of their curiosity so I can teach them and they starts to earn with this best opportunity in the online as of now.

I do experience being asked regards Bitcoin and mostly they are my relatives. The story here is that they once saw that I am receiving a decent amount of money knowing that I don't even have a job. At first, they thought of me doing something illegal but later on, after what I tell them about Bitcoin they don't believe it in the beginning then I show them how it works. From that moment they amazed, they always contact me regarding this, they asked me to teach them so they can also earn. Honestly, it was really hard maybe I am not good at explaining things but I still try though.

No I haven't received a call or text from a friend or family asking about bitcoin since only few people in our place have known or  familiar with bitcoin. But there is one time that one of my friend and I have talked about bitcoin since we noticed that bitcoin price is getting high nowadays.

Yes, fews weeks ago a friend called me that bitcoin will still rise more than this before 2020 end which I was thinking he was joking at that moment until I saw bitcoin rising two hours he ended the call. Bitcoin is still doing well in the area of pumping even though the year is approaching that is making some users think it can dump today or tomorrow that is still making bitcoin increasing cause other cryptocurrencies to reduce gradually in the market.
I have learnt so much from friends mistake who always believed in people call without verify for the right sources before carry out operation. With this experience it will help me go a long way in this platform.i will not be lazy to carry out research before release my coins to market.

Yes, in this period some friends and especially families are asking more and more questions about the bitcoin world and cryptocurrencies, they have a negative idea due to the various Media that constantly throw mud but thinking about it are getting passionate, two friends long ago also invested with excellent results on Ethereum and daily get information on cryptocurrencies, I'am happy and hopeful  :)

Yes, because everyone in my family and at work know that I am the Bitcoin enthusiast. Also, they know that I did quite well with Bitcoin in 2017 when the Bitcoin price went up to $18 000+

The main problem with this is that they are always late for the party and they want to invest in Bitcoin when there is a huge jump in the price. When the Bitcoin price is low, they do not make contact with me... so they get in on the action when the price is high and when the price drop again.. they want to cry about it.

        The secret to the success of Bitcoin is to buy low and sell high. (If you want to do this as an investment option)

Nah, they are not real people. They are just bots randomly sending messages/emails to people and join their scam scheme. Once someone replies, the bot notifies the scammers and then they try to lure you to the scheme. Sadly there are people who fall for those scams. I have seen they have been targeting the elder people more with their provocative profile pictures.

Maybe you should start calling your friends and tell them about bitcoin. You know, if they learn how secure bitcoin is and how it works, it might also help them to spot obvious scams.

I got a call 3 weeks ago from a brother that works in bank, he told me he read about the profit coming soon to the space. He mocked me in 2016 when I told him about bitcoin and I showed him my profit after bull market, he has been silent since the bear market and mocking behind me also but he thought 2017 is about to repeat itself soon and want to benefit from it. If he comes honorably I might consider telling him investment strategy I learnt with pain and some loss. If he misses 2020 to Q2 2021 it will be very expensive or late for him.

I think I did.

It is not recent but most of those texts, I did not reply to except if it is a call where I can explain it easily. If it is a text, I usually tell them to call, or if they have something to do we can just meet later or he can call me. It is quite hard to explain from a text that is why I prefer telling them through calls or directly when we can talk.

Since 2018 I decided not to be active on social media, so only family and close friends have asked about Bitcoin. The average question
I receive is in email and mobile phone text messages, why does the Bitcoin price continue to rise now, then what is the best step to take.
Frankly speaking such a question is perfectly normal to be asked, I just answered please do your own analysis. Because I don't want to
give wrong answers to my family and close friends.

Texts will be filled with terminologies and there would be a barrier understanding things and concepts. Either way around, this simply proves that people are getting their interests into this technology which is a good thing. But more likely they are aiming for profit in most cases because that's the impression this technology left to the minds of many people who are not that familiar, due to what happened before and to stories were people earned huge profit from engaging into this technology.

No, I just found bitcoin in 2016 out of my curiosity due to the fact that I'm exploring in the internet on how to make money just staying at home. At first, I'm suspicious about its existence and then I did a lot of researched and then I engaged to it. Then I found this forum very useful for me, although it is doubtful at first, this forum helped me a lot when I invested on bitcoin.

I'm proud to say that I learned bitcoin with myself and now I'm benefiting all of the sacrifices and hardwork that I've done in almost 4 months.

I only received a message about cryptocurrency only once in my entire life because I am not that cryptocurrency expert, he asked me about this forum and how bitcoin works, I gave him details about this forum and how it works but unfortunately, he did not register upon knowing that he would not be able to earn here easily. Most of the people want to know cryptocurrency because they think that they could earn money here but that is not what it should be.
Most of the people who don't have enough knowledge about cryptocurrency think that it is easy money, lol.

Recently my grandmother asked me about BTC if its a good idea to invest..., my face  :o

Wow thanks for all the responses! I’m not done going through all of them yet,  but I’m certainly go to read them all. It’s really cool to see what other people are experiencing but also very cool to see the difference of experiences having due to where they are from ( different cultures ).

I also appreciate those comparing now to times such as the 2017’s bull run ( interesting to hear if you’re getting more or less calls/texts, receiving more from family or friends etc).

A buddy reached out to me who I hadn’t spoke to in probably a year or so and him and others buddy of ours have been just getting in to bitcoin/ crypto. Their one main question was about storage and safety. They didn’t know how to properly store bitcoin. Helping them set up their Trezor wallets this weekend.

Well, is friends and family recently, this was when the price of Bitcoin moved upwards and PayPal company accepted the use of Bitcoin through the buy and sell process in their platform. Though some of them are big time intimate with PayPal and them hearing about this technology for the first time. I took out time to briefly educated them for the technology and advise them to make more research about this technology called Bitcoin. I was happy helping them out because they're family and friends.

I’ve told so many people about bitcoin over the years & I’m pretty sure none of them took up my advice & invested. I tend to avoid talking to those people about it now because I don’t want them to become bitter & jealous towards me.

Ill think thats a different situation must better to ignore that if you dont know the people texting on you or call asking about bitcoin. And thats the best thing we need to do asking help for thos only people you know and related in crypto because if you ask to your friends or any close to you Ill think its not gonna help maybe. Must better to careful always than to being calm and nothing to worry if we scam or not,

Seems like the general public is starting to understnad that something is hapening again.
I got pinged 5 people this week having fomo and not wanting to miss out again.

No. They will call me at the absolute peak and ask for permission to buy whatever ludicrous shitcoin is up there. Then I will know it's time to sell. When I mention Bitcoin to them again a couple of years down the line when it's a load cheaper they will say 'nah, too expensive.'

Rinse and repeat. This is as dependable as the sun rising and setting.

This is why most people you know are poor and always will be.

Yes I received some calls from my relatives regarding to crypto seeking some advice about investment.
And the ones who didn't believe in it when I was telling them about crypto and Bitcoin now seems to be interested because of the price.

Its nice to know that theres someone who do talk about on how to keep those coins safe because majority will really be talking on how to make money in first glance.
Its true that people would different responses yet we do live on a society where it does have different culture and way of living but overall it is really just on the same situation
or scene where people do ask out about bitcoin neither on a common reason like making money or into its true usage.In my situation there are several cousins of mine
do ask out on how the hell i do make some big money yet they can see me with having a new car or motorcycle.Well i cant blame them because crypto can really give out
those kind of chances.

I am not aware of your age group but for a grandmother to ask about bitcoin is amazing. I am not very much vocal about my investment and hence no one ask about it. My family members are aware of my involvement in the bitcoin market and they used to warn me because it is not regulated and the government can ban it anytime and so on but now a days they do not interfere in it.

That's really nice, I just hope you provide them with the answers they need, me on the other hand, when I discovered bitcoin back then in 2016,my family never knew about it, not until I the 2017 ICO boom that made me earn some good cash, the next thing I became center of attraction, some people in my locality started calling me to teach them how bitcoin works, of course I helped them out, up till now, I'm still been called from time to time and asked several questions about bitcoin.

I dont know anyone or at least im not aware they are into crypto.
most of the times its me trying to bring ppl into btc. Even last week i was talking with a guy that works with me and hes going to be a father for the seconde time. and he was saying how he managed to save 3600€ for his 7year old kid and already planing to start some savings for the coming child.
And because hes actually a nice guy i told him if it was me id rather put those savings in btc, and he insta laughed at me...how sad
Most ppl i know ignores btc, imagine if i try to talk about the whole ecosystem crypto is.

You're good sharing the knowledge. Myself haven't earned big out of the ICO boom or during the previous bull trend. During the previous bull market I taught few people to about cryptocurrency. Among them only few made their fortune, and that happened out of luck. Once after earning they didn't convey the message. But I never mind it, and help people learn it. In recent days one of my brother requested, and I've bought him an ethereum when the price was around $350. Now he had understood the market better.

Not really much and majority some of my friend that called me was Tech-Savvy, They was asking about How to mine Bitcoin or where the local exchange, The rest is just normal person and they was asking about how to get money from bitcoin, etc. Mostly they asking it around 2017 when bitcoin rally happens.

I always experienced this unusual call from one of my old classmates and family members, asking about investing in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Some of them received random messages about inviting them to invest in bitcoin, so I always tell them that it is obviously a scam because bitcoin or cryptocurrency investment is not like a pyramiding scheme that you need to invite people for you to gain considerable profit or easy money. After that, I teach them about bitcoin and cryptocurrency on how they would earn profit from it, so they would never get scammed.

Yes, I do, all the time. And I have to say, its annoying

Lol - 2 days , 2 phone calls from friends who invested back in December 2018. I got them interested in Bitcoin and they eventually bought some. Both phone calls were about cashing out, unfortunately they’ve had to cash out due to Covid financial difficulties, but they’ve both quadrupled their investment! I’m glad I’ve bored a few friends in the past with my “Bitcoin nonsense “  :)
Me on the other hand - hodl  and hodl HARD  :)

I often get calls and messages from my friends who are curious about bitcoin. My friends want to get money from investing and trading in the crypto world, and there are also friends who want to know how to join a bounty project. I am dizzy because my friends often call and the messages that come through are too many to my phone, I can't explain bitcoin to all of them so I change my phone number so my head can rest to think

Lol yeah trust me I understand this side of things too.  Obviously during 2017, the mega rise of alt/shitcoins, this was more prevalent than ever. I can't tell you how many times I've had people call/text asking me about cryptocurrency but despite my advice of only "investing" in bitcoin/monero/litecoin..they never listen and end up going after some shitcoin they heard some dude on YouTube say was going to be the next bitcoin. 

My friends and families are very curious how I am earning a lot and I told them I am investing here in bitcoin but they are not believing me because they say that I cannot earn with a scam. Other of my family managed to believe on me and now they are also earning but not too much because there are still some things that they don't know about bitcoin. Knowledge is really a big help for us because we can decide wisely for every thing we have to decide.

When people know about bitcoin, they will look the people who is before their in that field. So it happened same to you.Even it happened to me once, I was a new to this field.I had totally spread the knowledge about cryptocurrency to all.By knowing it as a trusted, they will start to inverse their money.Directly or Indirectly we are getting profit from it.

Yes, I do get such calls and messages, but I always tell them to wait for a while because it is clear they are calling because of the growth of Bitcoin at that moment (they hardly call during bear market) and once the market changes, I will be expecting their calls but I won't get much of it, why? Because it is now clear on what they want. However, only few later called back, I was careful enough to let them know what it entails, the risks, and all that, as well as my stand on whatever decision they make, that is, they have to be responsible for their involvement and/or investment in holding or trading Bitcoin.
Also, most of them think that, if they buy Bitcoin, that it will keep rising and once I sense such kind of calls, I try as much as possible to educate them, and then allow them make their own personal decisions.

Due to greed and lack of time on researching things up then thats most usually the result and when they get scammed or do end up on holding shitcoin then thats the time
they do pass out the blame neither into you where the ones who do talk about investing or to other people who had been suggesting the same thing.Its always depending
on our own research and if you do really rush up into things then mistakes will be most likely to commit up.When it comes to calls and text then i have received even not
into those bull run days but in the year of 2018 and 2019 where there are colleagues that do ask about it.

No messages yet, but a year ago my friend approached me about bitcoin since he was interested in mining then asked a few questions like the right time to sell and what exchanges i've been using for trading. The only advice I told him was to hold and accumulate since he was just starting and recommended Binance as they have a good limit for non KYC users. I remember that time he also suggested that we both should get a good mining gear but I wasn't interested and tried to explain to him that mining isn't that easy to maintain.

One of my friends did ask me about cryptocurrency, though she was asking that question when she noticed me open a bitcoin wallet in my phone, and she asked whether it’s Bitcoin and I said yes, then she proceeded to ask me other questions about Bitcoin, although the questions kept landing on about the price and when it will go up and whether she will get profit and all that, which is a normal question I get from people.

Their main focus is on whether they are going to make money, and some of them who have heard stories of the 2017 bull run will be asking whether that will repeat if they invest. I just ask them whether they have the level of patience as the early investors if they should invest, and the question is always a No.

I tell some of my friends before about bitcoin but none of them asking me back for it, how to invest Bitcoin and we make money from it? I believe they have no interest in cryptocurrency and probably they don't want to risk their money and time. Maybe they are not curious yet about this, could be sooner they will turn back to me asking HOW? Of course, I'm still willing to enlighten them, give them some ideas, and to give them.

It is just to say that Bitcoin is far known to everyone. Many were still not know about Bitcoin and so a reason that they are not asking it yet.

Something to ponder is that the price is at this level and sticking around with no media hype and few mentions. Even people here aren't that stoked. When it was here in 2017 it had doubled in a week or two and was a few short days away from its monstrous pop shot that had been building for over a year and your dead grandmother was making Bitconnect videos.

That's a reflection of how much bigger the staircase upwards has become.

I have not had that privilege, my family and friends circle still do not know Bitcoin. But I have in mind to teach my sister about Bitcoin so that she can take advantage and freedom to manage her finances.
Now that her economic situation is not the best. This year has been hard for everyone but thank God it has also allowed us to find opportunities. We are fortunate to know the technology of Bitcoin and Crypto and participate in the market because the digital world is booming.

I got a call from an unknown person and he invited me to invest using Bitcoin on a certain website. Of course I know this is a scam. I don't understand how he knows my phone number, is it from the websites I've visited? Looks like we need to be careful again in providing personal information.

All my friends already knows enough about btc, hah  :)

Well that's a good thing.
But what are they doing with their knowledge about it?
Are they using it to earn profit? Or are they using it to make use of the benefits of this technology in general?
More people are being hooked up with this technology as years are passing by because its popularity is spreading. Some impressions are bad, and some are good, which lead to inquiries or questions about it. But to put it simple, they are asking if it will be beneficial to engage into it, and if it is, how will they benefit from such technology. Only a few of them will ask how "bad" it is.

They could be curious about bitcoin and want to learn more about it from you.
OR
they just want to get closer with you, because they knew you are a bitcoin person, and the bitcoin price is really expensive now. So they hope you could be the savior for them lol.

I’ve never received any text/call from my friends regarding bitcoin. But my friends just started to trade his first bitcoin after he created an account on a local exchange 3 years ago. Since then, we have talked much about it in a group.

Also, I saw many friends of mine sometimes shares about crypto in their ig stories. I am happy that more crypto users in my circle.

^ I always have friends or even relatives that always ask what is bitcoin and how to earn money bitcoin, since they heard at me once they always asked me for a different question. And for me, I did not hesitate my self to answer those questions and let them understand how this bitcoin work and how they will use it. The most important thing is how we approach them, don't let them expect the profit of bitcoin that probably earn, instead let them first to understand that bitcoin is a good tool to use when it comes to online transactions.

That's good for you. You don't have to explain a lot of things from them but if you describe it as all, I don't believe it.
Whatever they use it for, it's out of her league and our knowledge. Just like us, we have our own activities with our knowledge in bitcoin and we can keep it to ourselves or tell it to others, whichever is comfortable to you.

The latter one made me laugh. But yeah, that's possible. Maybe they're not really into bitcoin. They just want to experience the benefit from you. ;D

Well, as for me, I haven't received any calls or texts or whatsoever recently from a family or a friend. But when some of us gets to hang out during the past few months, bitcoin somehow joins the conversation even just for a little bit. My younger brother asked me about it months ago. He's bit of curious about it and showing interest of joining this forum. I just answer his queries that I can answer and refer to Google to those I don't know about.

Still hoping to hear from a friend that'll ask about bitcoin. But with a keen interest, though. Not just in it for a while.

We do have the same situation on my part I found bitcoin at the year of 2015 and started year 2016 Everytime I manage to participate on any bounty campaigns my friends always asking me about it and wether the campaign are still open for participants, so before participating in any campaigns I inform my friends about it coz I believe the more the merrier and It's make me more motivated to do the task.

I am from a place where some of my friends aren't aware of cryptocurrencies and their marketplace. So whenever i post something related to crypto on my social media my friends direct message me and ask me whether i invest in bitcoin.
They know the term 'Bitcoin' but they exactly don't know on how Bitcoin works , what exactly is the their marketplace or how to trade any coins
But when i just post profit images from trading on my social media they are really curious to know on how did i get the profit
What i'm exactly trying to say is that they don't want to learn about bitcoins or any other things related to crypto
Infact they just want to earn from crypto without even knowing what crypto is :D

Yup, actually more of them are present during this time, I always have someone way back in college who would always message me if it's still good in this industry, specially when he already have heard that btc price is pumping. I don't mind it but sometimes I do see him as those people who didn't really appreciate the currency, he's just here whenever there's an opportunity. And I think he see me as someone who would give him information about the time where he can earn money here, I don't think he would actually be rich using this currency just like what he aspires to be if he's just here during the price bull run cause it's just too late...

In my country bitcoin popularity grows daily,  everyone keeps talking about Investing in bitcoin, tho it hasn't been adopted yet but there is no restrictions in using bitcoin in my country, and due to the fact that I participate in social media bounties therefore Making post and sharing of projects post in my account, this get to attract much people calling and texting me to know about bitcoin and how it works because there think I know much about bitcoin due to the things I post,  I keep educating them and also making them know the benefits of investing in bitcoin and the risk involved too.

About the Op's question, I'm yet to receive such call for explanation on bitcoin. Bitcoin discussion is already found everywhere on the net.


They are those who don't actually like the online business , not because of bitcoin. Online business and bitcoin investment go close to each other. But your friends maybe missing something now and may want to invest when price has gone to high levels.

AND another call today - “ I’ve read in The Telegaraph (Newspaper) that Bitcoin is going to 20x by the end of 2021- How do I buy some ?”
I suppose any mass media mention is good for Bitcoin  :)

Well in my case i am very curious that may uncle asked me recently about how to deal with bitcoin. At first i didn't expect that this question might came from him and so i do explained to him what i have know about bitcoin. Then at the end of our conversation he present me the link that he wanted to know if familiar to me suddenly i don't know about it then i'll find out that he already give a certain amount of fiat to avail an account from the said investment. To make the long story short my uncle got trap by the scammers sad but i'll just explained to him to not believe in such kind of sended links without proper research about it.

Haven't had any call from friend/family member in recent days requesting to know about bitcoin. Myself surrounding by people who aren't rich to make investment. Everyone are living with their daily earning mostly, and this doesn't let them take time to know about technology growth happening around. I tend to brief them, but without investing they aren't gonna get benefitted. If I suggest they'll go invest the money for living. This is quite risky, because when they're in need the market might be bearish.

When we're having the bull run and you posted the Bitcoin price chart on Facebook or in your Instagram, expect that most of your friends will message you and ask you about it, and when you told them about Bitcoin, what they should do to have it and earn profits, if they find it out complicated, they will instantly lose their interest which just wasted your time explaining.

Those people just wanted to earn money in the very easiest way yet they don't want to put any effort, that's why they are the most victims when it comes to ponzi schemes and other too good to be true networking schemes that use Bitcoin to lure people to invest in them.

Received a call from a family member today who 2 years ago told me bitcoin was a scam. He was asking me how to properly store his bitcoin. Haters hate until they learn the truth ..bitcoin is real and here to stay.

Randomly came across this tweet today .. fitting for this convo (and is from back in August)

https://twitter.com/prestonpysh/status/1300462461888401409?s=21

https://i.ibb.co/9h9rrGg/57946-F6-E-57-B4-4-A2-E-BDA0-0-DB4-F2-A3-D2-A5.jpg (https://ibb.co/3vyCCkd)

No, None of my friend know about Bitcoin. I tried to convince about crypto world but they are not ready to adapt it.They do not believe in virtual things. But one day they will do it.

Actually yes, one of my friends asked me about how to buy bitcoin recently to me and she already knows about cryptocurrencies but with the current price increase it made more curious for I guess. But didn't actually invested anything yet but planning to invest decent amount of fiat into cryptocurrencies for long term purpose.

i have actually, there were friends of mine really surprised about how the hell i got money from bitcoin and they started to ask me how do i start earn with bitcoin and how to get started into bitcoin. where at the beginning they were bitching out of me cuz they though bitcoin is useless and worth nothing and they are wrong and eat their words forever

My family is just happy I found something I can be passionate about. They really just happy I now have a form of income because before crypto came along I didn't enjoy anything. Not IT not working at the airport not nothing. I left every job I ever got because it sucked and the pay was not enough I thought my time was worth more than that. You just making some other idiot rich anyway. They fully support me and I always tell them about my next venture and the current projects I support and work on. So pretty much from the very start, they asked about it. Lately, not many people ask me about it. I don't really care what others think anyway since I am focused on myself.

in 2017 bitcoin peaked again, that's where I was chased by people, and always asked about bitcoin and asked to be taught ... if at this time almost no one asked, in 2017 I got results that could be said to be big, that's where people get curious and start asking questions, and  now the yield is dropping no one is chasing me.

Not yet but I heard about bitcoin when I was still in high school someone told me that it has potential and it is a good opportunity for its buyers but I ignored it because I have no idea and knowledge about bitcoin I tried then reseach what its benefits so I regret because I did not buy bitcoin when the price was still too cheap so lucky those who bought bitcoin.

I stopped giving advice to my friends since 2018, when 2017 Bitcoin hype hit the price of $ 19,000. That year a lot of my friends
asked about Bitcoin, after that they were excited to buy Bitcoin in large quantities. Finally in 2018 the price of Bitcoin continued to
fall, and some of my friends scolded me for the losses they experienced, in fact, I myself suffered a big loss at that time. It was
the worst experience I still remember, so now I focus more on myself.

I have received a lot of calls from my friends and relatives lately regarding crypto currency investment and all of this started to happen when BTC cross $20k and a hype was created by the traders about Bitcoin investment and it's ROI. I have helped many friends in this regard by providing them with latest news about the market and giving them signals regarding investment time by analyzing the predictions of different analysts.

When I was requesting my friends to consider investing in Bitcoin (back in 2017), they were mocking me and claiming that I was promoting scams. Now everyone is regretting about it and all of them want to know how many Bitcoins I own. A few even asked me how to purchase and store cryptocurrency. But the mood once again turned negative after the news reports about the impending ban in India came out.

A lot of new users are interested in Bitcoin right now. After the news about the investment by Tesla came out, there as a huge surge in volumes within various Indian P2P platforms (Tesla is having a strong following here in India). But most of the users are in two minds right now, with the finance minister threatening the cryptocurrency users every now and then. Some of those who had earlier cancelled their plans after hearing about the government move purchased their coins after the news about Tesla came out.

Way back 2018 my classmates and friends ask me why i have money every month without major job, then i told them what is bitcoin also what is crypto then i took months to teach them but no one them gets what exactly need to do in crypto so they decided to quit but now as what i have they back and ask for helps and so im still willing to help them  ;D

My companions who live abroad regularly considered me to explain about the bitcoins, and I make an honest effort to disclose everything identifies with it.
Whenever I receive any call or a text its satisfies me. Not only my friends but my family also take interest in it.
They discovered bitcoin as an incredible kind of revenue and a superior spot for a long venture. Many of my friends sold their Gold and other stuff just to put resources into bitcoins

Yes, there are some people who came to my house and asked about bitcoin. The funny thing is they only come if there is something benefits them. They rarely come to my house and even one of them is rarely talk to me. I tell about bitcoin to my friends and at that time they don't care about it because they think that it will not benefit them. One of them said "why looking for virtual money while we can earn real money here" when I tell my friends about bitcoin at a company.

I do, and quite regularly these days, because I have referred crypto and Bitcoin trading to some of my relatives like my maternal uncle and he calls me to discuss about crypto, along with normal talks and he has learned much so he often gives me advise to which coins to buy and sell or hold lmfao. He said to me he's in good profit and I wonder how much, because he bought lots of dogecoin at dip so yeah, he's always charged up when we talk about trading and it makes me a little jealous as well ;D

Not yet, but I'm sure they will, at least where I live bitcoin hasn't been in the spotlight yet, and I think that's the reason for the current lack of interest coming from my acquaintances, but from "yes" family members like my husband who have already started searching for what bitcoin is and can it really be obtained for free, like his wife who works looking for bitcoin fragments to become 1 bitcoin

how to make money from bitcoin. From this I can conclude that the bitcoin they know is an asset that can give them an advantage regardless of how they get it including trading, working in bounty campaign and so on. my family never knew about it, not until I the 2017 ICO boom that made me earn some good cash, the next thing I became center of attraction.

Not that soon but i have received so much Messages inbox about question in Bitcoin and altcoins also.

Some of them are even denied me years back when i approached them to check bitcoin and at least Invest small amount.

Now they are investor already and luring others and promoting bitcoin also.

Also why not show them How much you already earned in Bitcoin and on your other transaction here so that way
 they will appreciate the market and how this work.

I only feel it in the real world and those who ask about bitcoin are close friends and friends who rarely see each other and when they meet they ask what bitcoin is like and how to get it.
they ask for bitcoin because they know i have known and been involved with bitcoin for a long time, and i only explain with what i know yes invest and also tell in detail so they can understand well when is the right time to buy and sell and also how bitcoin works and also the risks.

Previously when I start posting related to cryptocurrency or the bitcoin itself some times every time I open my inbox in different social media there's a stranger asking what to do and where to start so as a person who knows about trading, investment and more related on it i just share my knowledge and possible things might happen if they really wanted to join into this world of market. It is better if we share those too to the people who is interested to give them a chance why not to help them is this their chance to get a profit like us.

Before, kinda year 2017 to 2018 the time when I am earning big none of friends were asking me about it. But now, especially last April to May when bitcoin is climbing to $60k my highschools friends as well as my ex-officemates were asking me about crypto. All I can give them was my knowledge a long time ago since I am not so active in crypto or trading right now. I also find it hard to explain to them this forum.
I know how they are interested. I see myself on them when I am starting in crpyto so I am trying my best to help them. It is up to them if they will push this thing or not.

yes, some friends have asked me about bitcoin. they don't inquire by message or phone call, but they meet me face to face. some of them are mostly afraid to enter the crypto world, before they have the insight that bitcoin is like a pyramid scheme, there are also those who think that bitcoin is like gambling. reasonable thinking in my opinion for someone who is not familiar with bitcoin. but after I gave them insight into bitcoin, they no longer thought that bitcoin was like a pyramid scheme or gambling.

Good thing, there's no one bothers me anymore unlike the 2017 craze. The early of this year has been the best run so far and still, no one has asked me about it or got a random call from any of those connections. Well, when someone approached me a few months ago asking that he knows someone who has purchased luxury things because of bitcoin. I just thought of it that someone has already told him that I'm an investor probably that someone was a friend of mine that I've told how to invest in bitcoin. Well, I've immediately thought that it's best to keep it to myself and no more explaining in person even if somebody is trying to open a topic about it just to be safe from a possible wrench attack.

I remember back in 2017 when I first joined the forum (1 btc = $5,000), I tried convincing my mom to purchase at least 1 BTC but she disregarded the idea and called BTC a 'pyramid scheme intended to collect profit from businessmen.'

Looking back, every time we have a discussion about the value of BTC, she slightly regrets for not taking my word before but I wouldn't blame her to be honest since I think I would most likely do the same thing if I were in her position at that time.

To cut thing short, every time my friends and family have a question about BTC, they always shoot me a message and I try to at least explain them the skeletal structure and the blockchain system.

Sometimes it's funny people ask but they never really get to involved in Bitcoin not because of fears but some only think hat we are fortune enough to experience the high price of bitcoin. I have known people who ask but didn't really try to use it at all since they find it hard to do as they only tend to believe in banks or stocks. I'm more than willing to help my friends or fam who wanted to get into bitcoin but apparently they need to believe first that bitcoin is really useful.

Yes, I believe people tend to ask close friends and family mostly because these are the people they trust. Discussing Bitcoin is Business and it is recommended to do business with only trustworthy people. Over the years I've been in the crypto space, some of my family members and closed friends I've approached me to learn more about it. Not just in 2017 but also in 2020 and multiple times this year as well. I took time to explain in details the basics of bitcoin to them and they thanked me for it. I'm thankful they cam to me because not only did I demonstrate what I've learnt over the years, I'm glad they got the right information. I didn't have anyone to tell me about it during my time.

i am. actually its happen some years ago. not only one, but many of them call me, text, to asking about bitcoin.
the reason is, bitcoin price grow big and in that time, reach top price. they ask me to learn how to play bitcoin.
i never teach it, because they just see about money, how to earn big money with easy way. but, i tell to close friend, or family about bitcoin, and teach it when they want to learn it

Yes, more this time around as everyone knows I work in the ecosystem and they want to know what has been the impact on me.  Not so much on if they should buy it because surprisingly almost everyone asking would not yet buy (not fans), so maybe this is a good sign as not everyone is in it yet :)

I still have some few colleagues that are still asking about Bitcoin and I promised to help a fellow worker to create a wallet this week having been convinced to buy some BTC, I did same for few others who already have some Bitcoin in the wallet now,  some are  asking for how to buy more BTC, I am also teaching my wife on to set-up wallet and trade cryptocurrencies via Binance app, I am trying as much as possible to spread the message of cryptocurrencies to all my fellow colleagues and relatives

it was normal, not something that could be considered funny. it's actually a wise thing, trying to get to know and learn something before getting involved is the right thing to do, and asking people who are familiar with bitcoin is the best option.
when they feel unsuitable and don't want to take risks in the bitcoin ecosystem, then choosing not to get involved is the right choice. I really appreciate people who think before acting like that.
however, knowledge is power.

During 2021, more than 3 people in my family have asked about cryptocurrencies. one of them asked because he got an invitation to invest in a trade managed by a professional with a 100% profit guarantee in a short time. I can only remind him that do not give your money to someone you do not know from cyberspace, the risk is very high. and finally, he decided to learn the basics of bitcoin trading and ecosystem, I'm happy to explain.
