I know some of you guys are struggling in your work in crypto space because of your girlfriend/wife. I want  to share my funny experience regarding to crypto world with my girlfriend.

My girlfriend doesn't  believe what is crypto,even she heard it a lot of times when i tell it to her she doesn't  care and believe on it. When im on trading i get piss off because she always distracting me and make laugh at me.

Whenever i do bounty campaign on social media shes my number one basher on facebook and twitter. Whenever i want to teach her how to trade or do bounties she always pass by .

Until one day she saw my money reward from bounties and trading she became my number 1 fan and number 1 student of crypto. Now she is my partner doing bounties and other work regarding cryptocurrency.

Its true that your love ones are those who dont believe on you and your number 1 enemy for your dream 😂 But one day when you succeed  thats the greatest feeling that you proved  to them that they are wrong.

I feel you sir 😅 we are same experience.. my husband  also don't believe about crypto and bounties,he always say prove first before he believed about our work as bounty hunter😂 so now im waiting  for my reward as hunter so that i can prove to him! This is real!!

Same here, I asked few people in my family to give me capital (as loan) so that I could buy a bunch of cards and start mining. This was during 2016 mid - I guess when ETH was like 20-25$. I always get angry thinking about the lost chance to make a fortune.

The same people who said Crypto is bullshit is now asking me to send them (whenever I have to send them some money) as BTC or alts.

 :D :D :D

I think that this example lives on many people. I am inclusive to this :). People do not believe at first, but they want to be part of the system when they see the profits. Me and my girlfriend are moving together too :)

This is absolutely true. It happens when your loved ones see you doing unconventional things or work that they don't see it beneficial to you and to the family in general, they criticized and judged you for that. Like what you've said, engaging into the crypto world is somehow new to them or even the majority of people in a community doesn't really know what BTC  is all about. On top of that, the bad news that they hear and see on mainstream media has a big impact resulting in a bad reputation of BTC and cryptocurrencies as a whole. But that's only temporary, once they see you received a huge amount from your hard work and possess something valuable that they don't imagine it will happen to you, ever, things suddenly changed. From being number one critic to now a BELIEVER.

Ha it happened to me too.

My family has been saying that I'm nuts now for the past 5 years. Every Christmas I would hear about how how stupid I am spending 120K USD on mining equipment and all that electricity I was using and wasting my money.. lol..

This past Christmas the table was silent when I told them that I am retiring in 2018 and I am a multi millionaire now.

They wanted to know how to do it and wanted me to teach them. After all those years of heckling me they want my help.. You know what I told them? Its too late, just keep going to work and you'll be fine. hahahahahaha..

My siblings, parents, few friends and my gf didn't believe in me. My gf is interested in steemit but until now she doesn't starting her introduction. I'm telling to my gf what am I doing in crypto but she's not interested at all. ;D I will invite my siblings, parents and friends in cryptocurrency if I already got my money. :D

Congratulations on your loving partnership. You love the lady, you love the crypto, now both you are set for the same thing. Your working environment seems to be good and easier for bounty playing. Happy hunting dude.

Luckily my wife was into crypto already before we even begin dating or going out,
She asked me on how am I earning money and I told her the truth and she ask if I could teach her how to earn in crypto and I did,
Now we are both doing bounty and she seems interested in doing alt-coin trading but I really don't know if I should teach her that because ,
She is really careless on the tokens and the project she only choose some alt-coin base on their logo if she thinks it's cute then she wants it,
I remember one time when the cryptokitties was created she really wants to get some and she doesn't care about the price.

Fortunate for me, my loved ones are supportive and willing to listen to my crypto stories. Some of them even invested in crypto after hearing from me.


Wow, you kept quiet for 5 years and finally prove your decision is right. Congrats to you.

I guess everyone is different, my wife has been supportive from day one.  But I do hear a lot of stories of people who receive criticism for doing crypto.

I have had colleagues who have been skeptical about my investing who have later on gone to be full on crypto fanatics.
The one that springs to mind is past colleague who was asking me about real estate purchases in Japan (he was looking to buy a condo).
I told him I couldn't help him because I had paid for mine in cash and didn't know how mortgage and loans go there.
When he asked how I was able to afford that (we are both teachers) I said it was through crypto.
He just laughed at me.

Well, fast forward a couple months and I suddenly see him posting tons of stuff on social media promoting crypto lol.
I sent him a message and he admitted he was full on converted.
I feel sorry for the guy though, because he jumped in last december when prices where at all time highs.
He suffered quite a bit the last three months haha.

(on a side note, are you ok having a girlfriend that openly criticizes you?)

Superb story that i can relate to as well, my wife and everyone around was thinking that im wasting time online and im doing nothing and just sitting on laptop or mobile all the time, then suddenly i withdrew some money after last bull run and they realized that this is real and profitable sector.

I experienced the same with my friends, they laugh at me because they thought i'm doing nonsense and wasting time with this bounties but when the bounties paid off and I threw a party, they started asking questions on how to do this bounties  ;D

Happened to me to. When my friend introduced me to this bounty I just first thought that I would only take a bit of my time everyday to do and I am not expecting that I would have no to little income. But I still encourage my partner to do bounties with me but she still not believed in cryptocurrency not until we got our first bounty earnings which exceeded our expectations. And now even her mother believes in crypto.

in terms of my experience a little different when my wife was given an explanation of all things related to crypto he did not want to believe but he challenged the success of the crypto project that I run. new he will believe and it turns out when I managed his support is really full to this day he always help me run a business in the world of crypto.

This stands true for not just family and friends, but also all the non-believers in crypto, just like money proved its reality to her, the benefits, use case scenarios, and essential lifestyle will prove its authenticity to the world.

Cryptocurrencies earnings is around  90% income I have every month but I cannot resigned my work that contribute around 10% to my total income and focus on Cryptocurrencies because of my wife. She will always said there is no security in crypto but I have security working for another person's company.

my family don't belief in crypto they being talking bullshit to me saying i should stop wasting my time and find something else to do but i pray i prove them wrong one day
waiting for the day i will cash out i don't want to give up on crypto that why am trying hard no matter what people are saying....
i haven't received any coin yet still facing the problem big time

Haha. Your story is cute too 😊

My family doesn't have any interest into cryptocurrency and I think they didn't even know it exists😂😂. I'm the only one involved with crypto and I can say it was good. Whenever I posted new bounty campaign on my facebook account,my sister always asked me what are those and why I am reposting those things. I just told her it's hard to explain but if she was willing to get involved in cryptocurrency world I'm willing to explain everything. But then she declined haha. As of now I am just starting and haven't gained enough reward from my bounty but hoping I will also earn just like you.

Initially I had a problem with explaining the situation to my family. I summed it up as "internet money" and they went on with "so it's not anything real" for a few months they kept believing that, until one day, I got payed over 2 grand for a bounty (yeh I was lucky) and then they tried to be interested with cryptocurrencies but that didn't work out as well, in fact, my father called me 2 months later to that event. He admitted hat he had lost 3k messing with the crypto market and asked for my help and insights. In a month, we turned that -3k to +3k and it was the greatest satisfaction I ever had...

I have experienced it also, and the ones that I taught about crypto now are more active on doing bounties compared to me, they managed to join hundreds of bounties a month and did really earn a lot. I still remember when they laughed at me saying crypto assets and others  are scam, now they are my partners in crime :D. We have a dream to build a massive farm of mining cards and we need a lot of money, and now we are talking how to get some for a fair price.

That's one funny story . But i think this post belongs to some other section .
I think the story is totally relatable . I worked for 2 months without getting any profit  or money and my family , friends were continuously pressurizing me to stop wasting my time . But when i told them about the amount of money i had by the end of 3 months , they never asked me to stop again . They are doing it themselves . It is true , that people won.t believe it until they don't see it .                                                                 

an interesting experience. Indeed at first for those who do not understand and feel the results would assume the crypto as very lightly and do not produce. a lot of negative news about crypto and this certainly makes them increasingly uninterested. But if you already have the results and it is very satisfying that they believe in what we are doing. and that's when I want to laugh evil to them.  :D :D :D

Luckily I've never really had this problem, my partner has supported me all the way through.
I'm not into bounties though and I have a regular job aside from just investing in crypto, so there's no real reason for my partner to dislike crypto.

I can definitely understand that your girlfriend might have been a bit apprehensive about crypto, due to lack of understanding.
It's up to you to show her the results, just like you did in the end.

Can you really make a living by doing bounties alone though?
