Bitcoin Forum

I decided to bring this information to our notice here because of a particular event that happened today that I was opportuned to witness. I understand that we all that have been around the forum where discussions and informations about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency are made have taken the opportunity to invest and some of us if not all have benefited from our investments and it has positively affected our thinking because we now see the investment as something we can not do without. Even as we encourage some of our brethren to invest, we shouldn't made it mandatory as if they will have no other opportunities in life to become rich if they do not invest in cryptocurrency. Back to what I witnessed today which led to this information, a guy was busy blasting his friend in public for not investing in Bitcoin when the price was below 40k on hearing them from afar, I came closer to really understand why he was so angry with his friend I overheard him saying that he can no longer be taking care of him because he refused to invest when he asked him to. There are some people who may never be interested in investing in Bitcoin even when they see the need to invest I think the best thing is to ignore them instead of putting so much pressure on them for them to invest. It is not every one that understands the meaning of investing for the future I think anyone who's interested in Bitcoin investments won't waste time to invest regardless of the current economic situation.

Well said, and not only this too because I have also being a victim but my case is a little bit different because mine was about a lady who actually overhead me discussing with my friend about the profit he has made through Bitcoin especially now that the price is running wild like fire and after we finished the call, the lady seem interested and asked me how do she invest and was asking me questions like how many weeks before she starts seeing her profits of which I lost interest to start telling her because I don't want a situation where someone would point blame at me.

I fully understand what what the guy was passing through for him to have treated his friend in that manner. I know what it means to show someone an important information that should be taken serious and yet the person end up becoming unserious, it pains when you want the growth of other but yet, they become the ones holding themselves back for no reason. However just as you have said, the best option is to ignore them and keep doing what you know how to do best. After all the price of Bitcoin is not done yet, there is still hope for the price to rise above ATH so anyone can still invest now.

We can force the horse to the water side, but we cannot force it to drink water. The reason for the friend holding back might be that, he didn't get the right information or knowledge about Bitcoin in such that the factors behind the price movement is properly explained to him. And second the with the level of our economy, it would be difficult to convince someone to invest in Bitcoin when he has not eaten properly, if the other guy was wealthy enough his friend wouldn't have been angry at him, they would have just sort things out quietly.

Its unfortunate that most crypto enthusiasts have taking it upon themselves that Bitcoin is the only way to success, whereas not everyone is called for Bitcoin or the crypto space at large. its absolutely not nice to pressure anyone to run on your own lane, maybe I was meant to run my life races and succeed with Bitcoin Investment and another person is called to run his own race via other skills without even investing on Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies.

So, it a personal decision whether to invest or not. I don't like telling anyone to invest in Bitcoin because of the scenarios that I have witnessed, people turning back to the person who introduced them to an investment that usually works but unfortunately it didn't work out for the person in question and it seems the first person who is the introducer is now a bad person and fingers are pointed at him as badass.

So, j would say even with the benefit that is hinging around the bull run it doesn't call for forceful investment, don't pressure anyone to what you do, everyone has his or her own life to live.

I knew that somebody introduced me to Bitcoin but I rather just tell people about Bitcoin instead of trying to force them to invest in Bitcoin because I noticed that trying to force people to invest in Bitcoin makes them feel like I have something to benefit from it whereas the person who introduced me to Bitcoin didn't have to speak so much about it because my interest was already high about getting wealthy, so it was easy for me to absorb the new information that has been introduced to me. Only new investors with a high interest in getting rich will be able to be easily convinced to invest in bitcoins.

Introducing Bitcoin to a freind or close relation is actually a good thing to do but not when it is mandatorily imposed on them. First move is making them understand about Bitcoin, it's benefit and disadvantages, let them know all what they are about getting into, on a matter of truth if it interest them they will surely invest their money, it can also go the other way round when they do not find it appealing, you don't need impose on them, if they were then they will certainly grow the urge of taking back their funds when the market faces little down side.

I d see am as no reason for one to be forcing or d angry towards their friends on why them be no invest on bitcoin when the price been d low.

Actually, for this life wey we d live so, no be all of our friends go do exactly wetin we d do or advice them to do. There are some wey go do wetin we advice them to do and some wey no go do the same cos each of us get wetin our mind and soul go fit do, and wetin em no go fit do.

If every one of us begin to the tell each other wetin dem suppose to d with them and they follow up immediately, problem go d dey. You no why because peso no fit advice you to invest in a Ponzi scheme, you have no much idea on, you follow am do am because na your friend advice you to. The same goes to bitcoin cos many people no know much about bitcoin investment and you want them to invest on wetin d no know.

Concerning about bitcoin investment, no be everybody d get that mind to invest in am. I no go fit vex for my friends because I told them to invest in it which they didn't later do.

It will a wrong move if I should try and act funny by been angry unnecessarily without knowing if they have that money to risk for bitcoin or are they viewing bitcoin as get rich scheme.

Each time I advice my friends to invest in bitcoin. Their question na wetin they stand to gain if they invest and the time interval for their profits to mature? You can imagine if I tell them a lot and bitcoin didn't give that anticipated profits at that time, no be problem I d bring upon myself since we can't predict the crypto market.

The message to all this investment advice to our friends about bitcoin, na make we d invest as we can and allow our friends make them d do what their mind can accept them do. Now by this year and next year we go see result of who wins or cry the most of wetin 2025 bull run don do for people life of changing their financial status to millionaires. And friends wey no achieve that go have themselves blamed for missing a golden opportunity to make it big in crypto

The level at which most people take this investment of a thing to is really annoying, I have my money you have your money and you have what you want to use your money for so do I we all have our own plans for what ever we earn as income we can’t decide for the other what to do with there money.

Now let’s say for instance this same person who was bullying his friend because he did not take his advice of investing on bitcoin when he advice him to, have it been Bitcoin price dropped below $40k where they bought and the price dropped all the way down to $26,000 even if it’s not possible for now would he have paid back his friend the invested money if he needs his money back or he will say it was a risk he decided to take on his own.

If you force people to invest in cryptocurrency, if anything come happen to their investment, na you dem go blame for that, some people even fit accuse you say u scam them, dem go talk say na because you wan scam them, na y u dey force them make them come invest in cryptocurrency be that. If you wan carry person join cryptocurrency, just tell them the basic things wey dey suppose know, make sure say na them come back, come meet you say dey wan invest, and make sure say you warn them well, incase if anything happen to their investment, make e no come be say, dem go dey blame you, let them know they are investing at their own risk.

It really feels bad to advice a friend to invest in Bitcoin and yet they refuse to invest, but I think bitcoin investment is not by force in as much as Bitcoin is concerned, it is a self decicieve investment. Everybody may not do sesame thing at once. Many will chose Petty local trading than Bitcoin trading and you can never question then on what may have caused them to do such a thing. So there is no need for aguement between the two fellow since he's not complaining to his friend there is no need of cautioning blame on his friend Afterall bitcoin Investment is for people whom are patient and have other means of survival. Who knows if he may have sold off his bitcoin Investment if he Investes in it. Because not everyone that can bear it, when they see there portfolio and yet they can't lay there hands on it.

I give you kudos for not listening to her because from her side of the story she has already sighted the investment as a get rich quick scheme (Ponzi). As much as we talk to people about Bitcoin investments we shouldn't make it look like what everyone can invest and benefit because it takes a lot of time, patience and knowledge to be able to benefit from Bitcoin investments and to crown it all it takes security wise to also benefit. People want to keep talking about the gains but they hardly tell people the truth which is the ability to also lose money in your investment if you choose a wrong investment plan and this is the major reason why I can't ask anyone to invest without adequate knowledge and the person must be willing accept whatever comes out be it profit or loss.

Putting pressure on someone to invest in bitcoin is not good at all, because anything that happens to those people's money, you will be the one to blame. So regardless of how much you love someone, it is really bad to force someone to invest in bitcoin or even other cryptocurrency because there is a lot of risk in this space that not everyone will have the mind to take. For me, anyone who wants to invest will find their way to do it, or they will find people who know about it to teach them the processes and let them know about the risk of the investment. So I think we should view these as wishes, not compulsory. The country is not even funny, so imagine that with these hardships you are trying to convince someone to invest. You should know that there will be a big problem if things do not work as wanted. Also, the longevity of the investment is what some of them look like.

Op yes he no dey good to force someone to invest in bitcoin but there are sometimes you need to do dat because those guys are doing nothing and dem dey depends on you for everything and if they no dat they can do other things to become rich then let them start di process. And if there is no way den dem go invest oh my brother. Me I no blame the guy oh because experience is the best. Op you are saying dis because probably you never experienced that kind of matter when you encounter nobody go tell you. How can someone in the digital age relaxed with android devices Facebooking, WhatsApping and others while you are to provide everything for him. Then make him stay away from me because I will not tolerate that nonsense.

There are sometimes forcing is the best approach if violence isa way of settlement then forcing him to invest. Investment does not kill. You only use part of the money to invest and relax for the Bull Market.

My brother no be lie you dy talk, investment decision na something wey surpose be personal decision, because as the world of investment dy so, risk dy very common in the industry, so if you try to convince people too much, them go think say you be scammer.

And another thing you need to understand is that, base on say Bitcoin na risky investment base on it volatility, e no dy good to force person to invest in am, because if him investment get K leg, na you him go hold, say na you tell am to invest, so if you dy tell person about Bitcoin, thread with caution, no be everybody them dy tell, tell only person wey head correct.

It is not right to persuade anyone to invest in bitcoin for some reasons, human character differs and people have a blaming attitude so telling them to invest will amount to danger on your side as the adviser.
The best thing to do is to make the investor to understand that bitcoin do exist, make them understand too that the investment is not a short-term profit guaranteed, your money can depreciate depending on the price of bitcoin overtime, such person should know that bitcoin is not a do or die affair, at the end allow the person decide on whether to invest or not.

Actually you and the person dey really close, and you just dey try help the person out and the person no gree take your advice, e go pain well well, and the worse part na be say, na you dey even package the person, and wattin you been tell am to do, come blow. To that person wey no do am, e go just be like say life nor dey favour, like say e dey favour only some people, but Dem no no say na when you use opportunity wey you get na things to sup In a good way. But anyway Sha na to just leave the guy weda one dey e go find wattin e fit carry em life do wey go bless am. Since na we dey shout invest invest, person wey get the money wey miss this trend wey Bitcoin do, no just follow at all. Because this na opportunity wey everybody see, sotay prediction news come full everywhere now we don dey get am clear na that time some people dey regret.

Well me I don't talk say anything concerning telling person wey no interested in Bitcoin me ma hand no follow because some persons are just not good in introducing them to anything and that's why I keep anything concerning Bitcoin and me to myself because some people just feel like you are trying to use their head by telling them things about Bitcoin because they lack the understanding about what you are actually trying to tell the person.

Ma broda some of us learned this the hard way.You can never catch me presently talking to anyone about Bitcoin. I nor go even discuss crypto price with you. Make everybody dey their dey. Na so you go tell person about Bitcoin any small tin Dem don dey check price if their investment drop e go be like say you get hand for inside. I nor do again. Thank you bros for the reminder.

Una know say Naija people no too dey believe something until Dem don see the result before Dem go begin say make person cut soap or show Dem love.
No be our fault because many of us don loss big money even small ones wey been  suppose get better use, for scams like that MMM wey Dem launch back then.
Many of the people wey sweet talk others to drop moni make dem join, chop beating and some wey dey lucky and  dey soft hearted either call pastor or their parents or others like am to explain to the angry customers wey loss their funds.

Those wey claim to be tech gurus dey find am hard to understand how Bitcoin dey work, but when Dem don dey understand, Dem dey always know the right persons to ask unlike some of us wey learn am for street or by interest wey lead us to join this kind ogbonge Bitcointalk forum, then come dey show off or puff up with the talk anytime we get to hang with person wey just wan relax enjoy em moni.

Na good advise OP give so o, because in the end a word suppose dey enough for the wise person wey value em peace of mind pass quarrel and body pain.

No be small ma broda na so one bani wan disturb me kill just to teach her Bitcoin and I don explain tire sey Bitcoin na volatile asset say no be something wey you fit put money now now and the thing go increase just like that but she no dey understand and all this na because of things wey she don already hear people dey talk about Bitcoin making people rich but she or any other person wey no understand how Bitcoin dey work go feel say Bitcoin na one kind get-rich-scheme wey if money enter profit go burn excessively.

It is very important,  I have come to know that those who were forced to learn bitcoin always fall for so many mistakes because this is not what they decide on their own. It is better to teach people about bitcoin but not to force them to go into bitcoin because doing this they can lose all their money because they have no knowledge about Bitcoin and if any thing that happens you will hold responsible for their lose.

Interesting thread as that. I don't know why some of us has believed that bitcoin investment is the best and only option to conquer financial issues or that it's the only payable source of income. Meanwhile bitcoin investment was invented by 2009 and even then, there was successful Investors making millions of profits in different ways even before bitcoin was invented and even now that bitcoin is trending it hasn't stil taken the least of being the most lucrative investment.
Bitcoin yes is a lucrative investment system but isn't the best. Instead what works and serves you better as you expected would always be your best so let's stop the pressures and speculations about trying to sugarcoat this bitcoin investment. If anyone doesn't make it to invest at the same place of your investment such as bitcoin investment doesn't mean the person has lost confidence to make it up in his life.
It is interesting of diversifying our source of incomes even outside this crypto industries. Some of us only have bitcoin as alternative source for income meanwhile they concentratee more to where they believes that gives them either quick or bigger profits. Very simple as that.

Pressure keh, the volatility of the market alone is already pressure, investing in cryptocurrency isn't for the faint-hearted but rather for the strong the high and the low movement bias can make one sell its asset. I rather educate people on how the market speculations works whether with fundamentals or technical analysis but I never encourage them too. There's a saying "if it's showing then it works" Invariably nobody needs to push another.

I will not say that it is a bad idea to invest in Bitcoin but the way you do the introduction matters a lot. and there are people that if you tell about Bitcoin am very sure they will do very well and its another thing to tell and they refuse to invest and it is another thing not to tell and they have interest. and they should make the decision themselves about investing so that it will not look as if you are forcing them to invest. and we all know how the market operates. so let them decide.  and you guide them so that some of the risks can be avoided and also how to avoid scams because there are too many scams in the crypto.

and if the friend introduced some of them might even be a better trader than we expected the condition that everyone is finding themselves wants to make them want to hustle more and I think people will have a problem trading because of the process that is much compared to holding. in addition, if they see that they are not making a profit on time they will just sell but trading is hard and certain things involve the easiest is holding.

Yes there is always a first time. Many people who invested this year that I know didn't invest last year when they were advised to or even in the previous halving because dem never even understand wetin people dey talk. Abi we don even forget say some people still dey think say everything online na scam  ??? or even say bitcoin na bubble.

So no need blaming anybody wey no gree invest on crypto or Bitcoin, if you don introduce dem to it then fashy and leave dem to take their own decision because at the end of the day na their money dem go take invest and when profit come na them go still enjoy am. However, I'm sure say more newbies enter the market earlier self and that holding and demand make bitcoin hit ATH when halving never even happen.

Because we have friends does not mean that we should force them on what to do because they are adults and might not have the same interest like us when it comes to investment. It takes only people who are conversant with cryptocurrency to understand about bitcoin and its potentials. It is a most that because we have invested in bitcoin, people around us should also do the same.

It is good that you introduce bitcoin investment to them, and let them make their decisions. My friend is rich now, and when I told him about bitcoin, he told me that he have enough to take care of life, and does not need an investment that he does not know anything about, which I still saw some sense it that.

Likewise me too I do, this is just like the saying that TEACH ME HOW TO FISH AND DON'T GIVE ME FISH but the person you want to carry along to know how to fisheby himself still want to rely on begging for the fishes instead of being devoted to fish by himself.
But anyhow at no contentions is it a good idea to force someone in to dance to your tunes. What works for you might not be so lucky to work for the other and knowing fully well that Crypto investment is like one of the gambling system because things doesn't go the way you wanted it at the right time. Besides someone he's in need of quick money is not fit in to crypto investment and so, there are other sectors best suited for such person.
It shouldn't be a curse to anyone who didn't Invest in this bitcoin industry. I'd always say.
So, I'm in support of the Op.

It's definitely not a noble idea to want to force or talk anyone into investing in Bitcoin, this doesn't in anyway out out the fact that you can still teach or help anyone who request to know more about Bitcoin to getting the full knowledge they really want to get, if you are been approached by any one and they want to know more about bit coin including how to invest in it, it's very okay to cease the opportunity to teach them as much as you can and guide them aswell but I'd you at any point go to force it on some one then it's a problem because you may end up getting to bear the blame in the future if anything happens.

You don't have to teach people by force or they to get them to gamble because you think it's the right thing to do because they may have their preference and reasons as to why they are yet to invest in Bitcoin and so you could just give them that benefits of doubt until they are ready and probably ask for it, don't force people or talk them into investing in Bitcoin regardless of how juicy the opportunity appears.

True true, the way this life dey self eh, I mean the way everywhere just hard, we no even need to pressure any body especially people wey we won help, beside we dey try to help them and them dey do like say you dey punish them. Although anything crypto no easy o, to start am and all of that because of the risks wey dey involve and also the emotional control like patient, tolerance etc, no be everybody wey get all this attributes and no be everybody get strength to do wetin dey go make their heart fly, or wey go make them to dey worry too much. So if we want people to they benefit from crypto like us, wentin we supposed do na to make them see say crypto no really hard or dey difficult as they think say e dey, that is to show them how to buy or sell their crypto and to show them the apps wey dey supposed use wey no go dey give them tough time, and to also teach them the basic knowledge about crypto wey never hear and also to dey motivate them wen their emotions won dey step in.

I think anybody wey them force to invest in bitcoin,  is a bad start for the person because the person no use Jim mind to invest in bitcoin and the person no go wan like to do further research.  It is not possible for person wey dey force invest in bitcoin to make it because the person no go fit cope with market of bitcoin especially when the thing dey dip because their is no better understanding.  Because investment should be a person decision to start.

Mate, yea volatility is what drives the price up and down and that's why one needs to convince him or herself before deciding to take the right move, if not he or she will blame you what what ever happens. Preaching about bitcoin is good but outlining the possible encounters anyone could possible face to the the people you are preaching to is the best.
Bitcoin has it's negative part which is price downtrend and the possible to reduce at any time, so as we are happy now, we should utilize this opportunity. Most importantly allow people to make financial decision themselves without intruding.

If you pressure people to invest in bitcoin and if anything happens you will hold responsible.  Pressuring people yo invest in bitcoin no make sense at all, e no make sense for person to dey invest in wetin dem no sabi. Instead I is better to make people understand bitcoin well than pressuring them to invest in what they don't have good understanding about. People wey dem force to invest in bitcoin dey easily lose their money in Bitcoin because dem no sabi wetin dem dey do.

If we want to start pressuring people about bitcoin investment now we're the ones looking for trouble na, bitcoin investment na wetin go benefit A and B if them invest and anything wey go give me profit or benefit I no need person to pressure me. Abi when bitcoin first come nobody really know the value back then but now see the value of bitcoin don increase massively. Difference dey between teaching and pressuring about bitcoin investment and according to wetin op talk na pressure. Pressuring an individual to investing is not necessary and humans are very funny especially with the volatile nature of bitcoin, if the price dey fluctuate always you wey pressure person no fit get peace of mind.

No be even the price wey dey go up and down be my problem here the problem be say some people dey act like say person wey them know wey never invest in Bitcoin never start life unto say them don try abi wetin Bitcoin dey all about as them get the opportunity to join forum wey dey give them detailed information. Some of us here self fall under that category of people wey dey always talk to people about the importance of investing in Bitcoin but some of us dey find am very difficult to explain the other part say your money fit go if the market bloody and person wey no understand go wam kill em self because of lack of experience, I think we can do a proper advertisement for Bitcoin but we shouldn't act like it's a do or die affear cause not everyone can afford losing money for investment like some of us has lost before we understood the market very well.

Yes you are right. It is not advisable to force anyone to invest in Bitcoin. But why a person should invest in Bitcoin can be explained to him. If he is interested in listening, you can highlight the prices of previous years. Maybe he will be interested in Cryptocurrancy (BTC) after listening to you. It will be a matter of pride for you if someone benefits because of you.

Many people are not interested in investing in Bitcoin because it's cryptocurrency, Many people don't know that this is not just a cryptocurrency, it is the key to future success.  It touched the magic of digital in all countries of the world. Will contribute greatly to the and socio-economic development in nearby future.

Different ways dey wey person go take get wealth for this life and investing in crypto be one of them if you sabi am wella and get lucky to have invested earlier to take profit when dey begin grow or reach their maximum value for future. Bitcoin investment na one of the many ways wey you go use take get money but e no mean say na him be the way to make you rich or the only way wey person fit make am for dis life.

People wey no dey interested in investing dey really show from onset unless them com me go later change their mind somehow to come believe and invest in the cryptocurrency. One of the first reply for person wey no wan invest na to call bitcoin Ponzi scheme and once dem stick to dat word or notion, nothing you fit tell them where dem go gree invest again. At dis point, you better not force and let them be to decide if they want to join or not.

Omo,in this life don’t pressure anyone to engage in bitcoin it’s not advisable due to a lot of factors such as risk tolerance, volatility, lack of understanding, financial responsibility and personal choice go a long way to get you

All investment come with his/her risk. This is why one shouldn't force anyone to any investment. He/she must be convinced enough about the investment before investing so he/she won't have anyone to blame if the investment go wrong. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency is not an exception in this case.

I got some notifications from this thread even though I am not from this local board. I know the reason, BTW. Someone used the word Learn Bitcoin, and I got the notification. We have discussed this matter on global boards more than three times. Considering this thread is created on a local board, I guess it's okay.

As for sharing my opinion, I guess this is something we should avoid. There is no way that I am going to pressure someone. I do not even give anyone financial advice until someone asks for advice. Moreover, I ask them to do their research before they do something.

It's always clear that another man food is another Man poison this saying should at first work in any person who have the thought of introducing someone into the crypto space for investment. If really you want to help a friend inorder to invest in BTC let it been the person heart is fully convince and let it also be that is voluntary not persuation. If you haven't experienced where rendering good turn out evil where you are tag with bad name all sort of thing because the good you introduce the person has not work immediately as expected you won't know until you experience it.

As we human bear different name and faces so is our way of reasoning and choice of live what op said allot is involved it's not written any where that bringing people into crypto has a reward even if it I don't think I have read it for those that help is just to see a friend passing through financial issue most time always beg for money that make their friends introduce them for investment on btc enable them for financial freedom but if at such point of trying to help let the person be will and fully convince in heart not persuasion.

Bitcoin doesn't actually needs to be promoted for it to survive or for its adoption rate to increase. Over the years, Bitcoin news spreads more like wide fire and in no time you can see how almost all part of the world are aware of it's power of decentralization though not all countries allows the use of bitcoin.one of the reason why you shouldn't force someone into investing in Bitcoin is that the choice is their literally since they are the ones to bear any risk that is involved. Putting pressure on someone would paint Bitcoin as a scam when the market experience a dip and since the person barley understands how things works, he sees his money dropping and then he begins to panick. The best way to inform someone about Bitcoin is by letting them do their own research so they would know more on what they are going into.

Yes brother I understand you perfectly,but if pressuring someone to invest in Bitcoin I think is good pressure them because many don't know about the help of  Bitcoin keep telling them let them have interest and passion in it because is a lifetime investment platform,don't give up
To me my boss has been telling me about Bitcoin how it generate wealth in future then I don't give listening ears to them till I see things my self ,let them know about it don't give up with time the person will know the usefulness it Bitcoin

Although e go make sense say almost everybody go invest for Bitcoin but no be by force say we must join, beside everybody head no be the same, e get some people head wey go carry, e some wey no carry am, so anybody wey no fit carry mk we leave am, teach them another thing wey their head fit carry, things like empowering or encouraging them to go and learn skills, because some people dey dey good for that side and their head fit carry am too, so anybody wey no fit do or wey no dey interested for Bitcoin, make we leave am, beside self, too much of something dey spoil something, just imagine say na everybody join Bitcoin, confusion go dey everywhere, the thing no go make sense again.

I believe it's not right to pressure someone into making an investment in an asset, yes Bitcoin is very beneficial if one understands it but pressuring someone to invest in it cause you think it is beneficial is not a good way to go about it, due to Bitcoin is a very good asset for investment but due to it's volatility I think investing in it should be by choice and not by force. To be honest I wish I had invested in Bitcoin when it was 40k and below I would had benefitted a lot currently but then I would not go about forcing anyone with the funds to invest it in Currently, rather i will advise them on the benefits of investing in and how it would be very profitable to them in the future, especially for those who would be wiling to make a long term investment in it. Take for instance you advise someone to invest in Bitcoin when it's about 60k and they use the little they had to invest and Bitcoin drops to 30k or below now what are you going to explain to the person when they get liquidated. Bitcoin is very beneficial but it's volatility is enough reason not to force anyone into making investment in it.

I totally understand how you feel,but how about those people who has full knowledge about bitcoin investment and have chosen not to go into it as a result of not being financially stable, Where  did you expect them to get the capital to start up the investment? I think it depends on your personal decision, you don't have to pressure anyone to go into bitcoin investment, aside from bitcoin investment there are some other investment out there that can profit you in the future, we  don't have to make it look asive bitcoin investment is the ultimate, there are some people who are not into this crypto space but yet they are doing absolutely well.

Yes, it's better preferable to discuss about bitcoin with anyone out there without imposing convince able reasons on them.
You can only go forth illiciting on persons to Invest on bitcoin depending on the persons response during your discussions with such person.
An over stressing of forcing one in the o invest on bitcoin will always be suspicious to say you've some personal interests and I bet that is even if the person succeeded in investing on the bitcoin, you'll always be at the risky position to be hold responsible Incase of the Invested fund is lost.
It's more easier to bring someone to the bitcoin industry only when the person either trusts you and also when the  person has some digital trending knowledges pertaining digital markets.

From a wide angle, most times discussing bitcoin investment with none bitcoiners always seems risky to me. I don't know how y'all feel about it but I don't usually enjoy it because it places you on an edge of rich or someone who's literally about to make it in life. It increases the expectancy in your life by none bitcoiners hence it could lead to some misconceptions in your life.

I love to discuss and share knowledges/ informations about bitcoin and crypto at large including altcoins but with people who already have a little to no knowledge about it because they are quite relatable to every situation one may find him or herself in the industry. Perhaps introducing a no-coiner to bitcoin either for investment or whatever seems a bit risky for me but that doesn't change the fact that it's still good for me to introduce them but I will on do that when I see a level of confidence and interest in you already hence not to get into trouble for some reasons.

I don't think there's something bad about discussing cryptocurrency related issues with newbies or people who does not have ideas of what cryptocurrency is all about, first of all you do not create awareness to people who are already aware of what Bitcoin is all about because you will end up having a normal discussion about the types of investment one is into and all that but no matter how difficult and challenging it is to discuss with people with no knowledge, there's is a greater joy you get because you are able to share an information to a total newbie who may be very interested to learn and at the end of the day that persob may end up sharing the information to others and the knowledge keeps spreading all round. To avoid the risk involved in sharing an investment information to a total newbie or stranger, never disclose how much you have invested, how much you plan to invest and the profit you have made while doing your investment, focus on discussing the importance of having knowledge before investment and the risk involved if one doesn't have knowledge i believe if you don't talk about how rich you have become since investing they probably won't know anything you don't want them to know.

No be lie, nobody suppose to force or pressure another person to invest in Bitcoin, even if im get di best intentions for di person wey im de tell. You fit to force a horse to the stream but you no fit to force am to drink water from di stream, so you fit to tell your trusted friends about di investment but e suppose be dem choice to decide weda dem wan go ahead with Bitcoin matter or not.

Nobody know am finish, you sabi Bitcoin investment, but e fit to get anoda investment wey de legit and wey de beta pass Bitcoin, and if person de preach dat investment to us, we fit no listen, unto say we don reason say na Bitcoin be di ultimate.

Investing in bitcoin is not really compulsory but I think it's very important to invest and it shouldn't be a do or die affair,  Investing in bitcoin have to be a choice, personal decision, if someone is not interested let the person be. Everybody must not invest in bitcoin to be rich or wealthy, just like I always say, there are people who are doing absolutely well, I mean great without bitcoin Investment. Telling people about bitcoin is not a crime but don't try to make them do it (invest). Say the thing dey favor you no mean say e go favor the next person ooo.

I totally agree with everything you just said and it's all true but those bitcoin enthusiasts who took it upon themselves that bitcoin is the only way to success, to me it's not, really a bad thing to say because that's where their life lies on, I mean that's their life, that's the only thing they know, there's nothing anyone can tell them reason because they know how much they are really getting from there and I think Is really a big strategy to use in bringing more people to the bitcoin community.

Bitcoin have made the huge dumps and pumps in the market and we know that happen before the halving that'd also trending. Bitcoin is the top projects in the market and we make see how the market de operates, them de calm now because things no de go according to our plans, but no room to fear since we know wetin we de do with our hard earned money. Why force presure on a other ignorant fellow when he's been adamant to listen to any piece of information that would have helpful.

In fact, never force others to invest in Bitcoin. Especially those who are scared. Suppose you talk to someone to invest in Bitcoin, he didn't want to invest but you force him to invest, now if does unfortunately the price drops, he will definitely panic, and end up blaming you. , and at some point he may ask you for a refund, so it is better not to worry too much about others. As you continue to invest as you do, over time, your success will attract him to invest in Bitcoin, And he will start investing in Bitcoin himself.

Investment is a choice and not something to compel anybody into. I have come to realise that no matter how you try to convince someone to invest into a project or business, if they are not interested they would not give in to your conviction but if they are, they would not waste time in running the investment.
I have been able to engage with people and also seeing their own perspective of investment and it is quite different every where. Some believe in different investment strategies and invest in different businesses of their choices.
Trying to compel or talk anyone into investing in a project is just a try luck something  because they will or will not give in.
Sometimes I believe success stories is a factor that convince people also. You can not be struggling to have results and want to convince somebody to go into that same thing you do when they have not seen the positive side of it in you. You will have to get results before bringing or convincing people to join you in the investment because is what they see they believe.

Bitcoin investment sef na something wey dem go force person do.Person wey no pick interest to invest on Bitcoin na em own business shey everybody get their choice to make.Some people sef nobody introduce bitcoin give them,them just dey see how people take dey rich through bitcoin investment from there dem too pick interest to invest.Seeing is believing some people go wan see the reality of ur investment before dem too go wan start but in this scenario if the guy don dey see as em friend dey use Bitcoin investment dey get am clear and em no wan invest no be something to pressurize am na to just pay one skill give am make em learn.

True true, Bitcoin dey really good and person fit dey rich through am but e no mean say everybody go join am, although they fit get the idea o, Because e go really dey helpful, especially if some group of people dey talk am, they no go look like say, dey no dey aware of wetin them dey talk about but with the idea, them fit dey stuck mouth self, dey advice people like say them dey into am. So anybody wey e head no carry, mk we leave am, mk we no force anybody.

Na so the matter be, Bitcoin is capable of changing people but no be every body go need am trying to force person fit make your good work turn evil beside some people too careless on their investment they fit no understand the system before they invest at the end when they see small change they will begin to panic.

Any person wey know the value of BTC and what it be for  am would not want person to force am , in our world some people take opportunity serious why some feel reluctant some don't have goal neither do they plan they believe to take what ever they see people of such forcing them is a waste of time.

You are right, because everyone has a choice to make  and so knows what works for them better, there's actually no need trying to convince someone who have a different perspective about something different from yours.

Investment is not for everyone neither does it meant for anyone but what matters is that people always take risk the risk in whatever they are doing or investing. People always seems to see that bitcoin investment is something that is so common where if they invest they easily gets back what they want without knowing that Bitcoin is a long time project where they needs to invest for long to achieve what ever thing though of having.

When we thoroughly educates people how it works then it's left for them to decides on how much to invest, when to invest and not by compelling them or a kind of thing of compulsion where the must invests, sincerely I have never seen myself in this condition where after telling someone about bitcoin and I would instigate or trying to make some series of play towards the next person since they had refused to invest.

Besides everyone with their risk level index and whenever they can't be able to afford to bear the risk then we should let them be because money invest and lose it entirely actually affects the investor because they could work so hard to raise those money, so if in a way that their friends invested and their investment yield something meaningful doesn't mean that he must make case with the person who doesn't invest, again did he actually think what if the investment didn't go as planned and lost all everything.

Apart from everyone have a choice, the way and manner OP explained the scenario is not a good thing to do even if you have made millions and that your friend is yet to invest, there is no need to blast him publicly because Bitcoin transactions itself is not legal in Nigeria.

Bitcoin investment is a choice and no one should be blamed if they don’t feel comfortable to invest; some of us wants to invest but they lack capital to start the investment while some have the capital but don’t feel comfortable to invest due to fear of market volatility.

No be lie say Bitcoin or cryptocurrency as a whole no fit be everybody thing. Yes, no be everybody go gbadu this cryptocurrency thing, especially now way be say, government still never know watin to do with am and how to place am, them just dey fight am back and forth and then, you go con dey tell person to risk am and take up Bitcoin investment, e go hard them to agree with you and when you see like that, free them.
Instead of you to try persuade them, support them in whatever decision or field of investment way them put body. Na when e con be say, them just wan dey relax dey chop na em bad pass. That one eh, you fit lash out on them when them carry their own worry your own but, no make reference to the Bitcoin investment way them no join you do. E fit be say no be their thing.

I understand this guy pain to some extent shah and I no go blame am. To Dey take care of person for this life no be small responsibility, especially person way be adult and e get what it takes to Dey independent but e just Dey dull en self. One thing e gats realize be say, time dey go and when you get person way dey take care of you, that fit be comfort in a way and person way dey comfort zone no go really make plenty progress. Maybe this en friend lashing out go be the push way e need. I no blame en friend at all.

People think it is easy, and when they hear you are into crypto they want to get involved too because in their heads you making money what you are going through does not matter to them the only thing they are concerned about is how they will make money like you. and when you tell them the risk involve some will immediately lose interest and the majority of them want to just want to invest and profit should start coming they don't know that it does not work that way that how patient you are will determine how much profit you will make because you can not predict the market and that is why the world risk is always not far from investing in crypto.

The best thing before you get anyone involved give them a very good lecture before they invest tell them they can lose their money but if they can be patient enough then there will be light at the end of the tunnel, it is not how well you start it is how well you finish.

It's due to high level of hypocrisy and ignorant to the right information in this our world today. Many years back were defrauded of their money due to how desperate they were to make money online. That made a lot of people to feel more ignorant of the vital information that comes to them whereby missing such opportunities.
 

I am new here but this topic is very interesting so i love to join the talk. Bitcoin is a good place to invest but must be with caution to curtail loses, it is something a person will do out of is will not pressure so before investing you must make proper research on the type of coin or token to invest in watch the market trend evaluate properly before  delving into investing, one can become a millionaire with crypto and one can also be bankrupt if you don't invest wisely and mind you it is not a get rich quick scheme after investment most times, we  require lot of patience for our seed to germinate. So I wouldn't huge or advice any one to pressure another person to invest in bitcoin  thankyou.

Make we use one stone take kill two bird, that adage till de work till this very day. This work de run smoothly those years but for this current one, e sharp. Bitcoin no b for everybody, we know that one. Make we just de do our things wey involved crypto lowkey, no come de cast update because e go really hard to find another one. As for this bitcoin, no be today the projects come out and e don really gain better ground for the space. Make we just de hope for the very best because the market de broad and capable of accepting more project.

We can force the horse to the water side, but we cannot force it to drink water. The reason for the friend holding back might be that, he didn't get the right information or knowledge about Bitcoin in such that the factors behind the price movement is properly explained to him. And second the with the level of our economy, it would be difficult to convince someone to invest in Bitcoin when he has not eaten properly, if the other guy was wealthy enough his friend wouldn't have been angry at him, they would have just sort things out quietly.

Well said dear, we humans tend to forget that as our names and needs differ so does our ambitions and objectives differ like we Nigerians say “One Man’s food is another Man’s Poison”.
Although on a personal level with the current negative route the Nigerian government is taking towards our dearly beloved crypto space and investors. I’ve decided to keep my knowledge of the space to myself and only to share with close friends and relatives we’ve all witnessed how stigmatized Nigerian government can make things look so safe and smart I prefer to maintain a low profile and I’ll kindly advice others to be careful with sharing crypto informations.

People don't understand that introducing someone into  something is a very big risk because if they are unable to make it just like you preached to them you are in problem because they will blame you for their failures. Investment is full of risks and we all know how risky cryptocurrency is due to their volatility because a some point you are gaining the next minute you are losing, if not that Bitcoin has been different from other cryptocurrency no one would have been so confident investing in Bitcoin.
 Never try to persuade anyone to get involved in anything even if you feel you are doing good to them because when you introduce people into something and it didn't work as expected you can even become their enemy in the sense that they will tag you as someone who is against their success in life even when your intentions for them are genuine. You can just tell them what you do that works for you, if they develop interests you teach them but if they don't never pressurize them no matter how friendly and close you people are.

Bitcoin is still subjective across different arms of government. So far, what we have understood is that the government is more focus on trying to avoid people from having access to usdt and NGN market than the crypto itself. If the government really want Bitcoin and crypto to be ban, they would have announced it and tells us that to stop invoking in crypto transactions but so far, their main focus is p2p market which they think it's because of Binance and other exchanges that has allowed Nigerians to trade.

With the way things are changing in the country, it's actually better to avoid public display of Bitcoin or anything that concerns cryptocurrency because of how abusive some law enforcement are when they see an opportunity, they would want to use you as scape goat for extortion because they know nothing about the law.


At this stage I'm, I don't want to teach or involve anyone to buy Bitcoin, not because I don't want them to buy or invest but because many of them are impatient these days, they just want to invest and get profits withoit understanding what they even investing there money into. If they want to invest, the condition is I will teach them first before they invest.

There is really nothing wrong telling people around you about Bitcoin investment, how Bitcoin works, things to do to enable you hold your potential coin for a longer time, but trying to force them or put pressure on them to invest in Bitcoin is very wrong everyone has their to life to live and things to do with there time.
Why it is wrong to pressure anyone to invest in Bitcoin is that most of them will believe Bitcoin to be a get rich quick scheme investing today and cashing out big tomorrow now when they finally accept to invest and at the end what they were expecting to see is no longer what they are seeing they will start putting pressure on your too that made them invest into Bitcoin at they moment you won't have peace of mind.
Secondly Bitcoin as volatile asset which price is always unpredictable can go dip and some one whom you have pressure to invest in Bitcoin probably he invested with a huge amount of money and he do not understand how the Bitcoin market works that the price can also rise at anytime may go into high blood pressure and die at the process, so it is never good to pressure people to invest in Bitcoin unless they make the choice there self.

Investing in Bitcoin has never been an issue, but how long a person able to HODL his BTC is what matters most, because who knows if this his friend had invested in Bitcoin the moment he told him too, and then due to impatience, lack of understanding later sold it out, simply because he wasn't interested in such asset. And that doesn't mean he may not be solely interested in others. Hence, it's true not to always think of people who didn't  invest in Bitcoin, can never make it in life, as though Bitcoin is the currency and asset for the future, it's not the only investment plan.

Exactly, you can't just go and start teaching or persuading or trying to convince someone to invest in Bitcoin. We know Bitcoin is a very nice place to invest in but it's not compulsory that everyone must be involved in it. However, there are also nice project that is worth investing on not only Bitcoin and pressuring someone to invest in Bitcoin is putting yourself in risk cause there are people that are so adamant and aggressive so if anything should make the investment go wrong (not as planned or as you told the person it will ) definitely there's going to be a problem and off course that can be very embarrassing.

Anyone u forced to invest in BTC investment without having d knowledge of BTC, u are not doing d person good because u need to teach d person first to ensure d person understand before u can tell such person to invest in BTC.

I Believe there are some people that follow d advise of their friends, and dey have d interest to learn decentralized currency to have idea before investing their money and it's working for them because dey were willing to learn decentralized currency, which are d type of people u can discuss BTC with.
But there is a way u go no this BTC investment, it will be hard for u to see lost in your investment because u no were to sell to make profit that will make u to continue using that partner that is making u professional in d investment.

Let's really be reasonable here, why on earth will someone force or put pressure for another man body to invest in bitcoin, what's that person gain or what's he trying to achieve, abi bitcoin dey do referals program wey him go benefit if the person invest for bitcoin. My broda make we kukuma dey our dey make the person dey in dey. Even if  the person invest and it turns out to be a fruitful investment in the future the person no go fit give me shishi so why bother myself on another man's headache. If na person come meet me for consultancy onto bitcoin investment I fit give am professional advice unto say him/she waka come meet me and filled my consultation form. And the thing be say some people are so daft that the moment they hear bitcoin them go dey think say you wan scam them. Omo na to mind your business ooo make every oma carry their own cross. Me self wey dey into bitcoin today I no worry anybody or meet any body to teach me. Na YouTube I carry learn everything wey I sabi today for the bitcoin side, so make every body sort themselves out.

I don't think if there is anybody that will not love to make investment with the expectation of a good return in the near future but the problem is understanding the nature of the investment. Considering the level of fraulence activities in the world now especial in internet everybody is afraid of digital investment like Bitcoin, cryptocurrency or other Blockchain investment so I think before telling someone to invest in Bitcoin there is need to train the person to have a better understanding of Bitcoin before going into the main investment because telling someone that is ignorant of Bitcoin to investment his/her hard earn money on Bitcoin will be seen as a cock and bull story to the person.
