Even i tried to help my friends a lot buy educating ...But of no use....I 1st came across bitcoin in mid may 2017 and got so fascinated about it and made my 1st investment & from day 1 till now before writing this
I tried convincing them but the answer it comes is...
# ohh its become too much..what if it come of down suddenly( again they are not thinking its for long run)
# In INDIA they say its not legal so i will get problem ( well its not legalized, mean its not illegal )
# Here they are saying IT (income tax ) raids will occur on Indian accounts using to purchase bitcoin and accounts ..My account will be seized
Here in INDIA in every media there is talk about BITCOIN and about its returns and what assumption ppl have here is ..its an pyramid scheme ..and lot of others think its kind of investment fraud scams happend here and showed by media a lot n very negative thoughts about it..
Well even most of my educated friends still didn't believe n trust n couldn't invest..
From the day 1 of my journey when ever
BTC increased by 1k $ i kept on reminding them ..invest..invest..invest..even today, The answer is will it still come down..its to costly let me think..same words i am hearing even after seeing the growth whats happening..
I had same experience when trying to explain to my coworker,
But it is pretty normal for casual people to just ignore it, most people are just hate risk, they try to run away from it
I am learning crypto because I learned about stock trading first and doesnt feel satisfied with it
The easiest thing to do to convince them is, show them what you have achieved
