If you do this, stop it!

[Lida93]

I have a colleague that's into cryptocurrency trading before I got to know about it, much of what I know about crypto I owe to him as he devote almost 70% of each day in cryptocurrency as it is a major source of income for him. Always online be it midnight or daytime you hardly see him offline.
which makes me wonder at times does this guy ever sleep at night!

Now him being online busy with his cryto business, this replicate into his social media accounts such as Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook that he's online as far as his data is on. Unknowingly to his friends, other colleagues and even relatives they go on dropping messages upon messages for him without getting back any response from him even at different interval, cause his focus all through the period online is in cryto with the aim of trying to make a living out but these other persons not having a clue feels he is deliberately ignoring their messages. Although he seldom reply to a very limited few important ones, to the extent I know though.

Now, we all know that feeling when you keep on dropping messages severally to a person whose status indicates online but no response. Very awful right!

This days people chase online money so much that they forget the place of giving or spending time with friends and family. And that's a very bad habit. Yes it's good to chase money but keeping a thin line by creating time for friends and family and business should be a thing of concern to everyone.

Else you might wake up one day only to discover you  have lost the company of all goods persons around you. Cause in this life people matters!

Again one of those motivational topics, these things are getting boring, this ain't no church or support center, and no merit pond either.

Unknowingly to his friends, other colleagues and even relatives they go on dropping messages upon messages for him without getting back any response from him even at different interval, cause his focus all through the period online is in cryto with the aim of trying to make a living out but these other persons not having a clue feels he is deliberately ignoring their messages.

I really don't understand how you can put the equal sign between spending time with family to replying to messages on Facebook and Twitter, if for you liking pictures and quotes and retweeting stuff means spending time with your loved ones I think you should be worried about your own view of life, not about your friend.

Else you might wake up one day only to discover you have lost the company of all goods persons around you.

You're not going to like this but this is reality, becoming poor will also make you lose a lot of company, and forget motivational quotes or sob stories about how human beings care for each other, the reality is that once you're poor nearly everyone will toss you aside.
So you can have your choice work and try to achieve something or tweet all day lying to yourself about what real life is.

You know, social media messages have a way of drawing one's attention away from the task one was originally doing. And it occurs more often than not. In your colleague's case, he is trying not to get distracted. Getting distracted affects performance.  Ignoring these messages is one of the strategies your colleague is using to handle social media distractions. Your colleague has a goal and does not want to get distracted by unwanted social media messages that may not be crypto-related. Trust me, he replies to messages of those in his crypto WhatsApp, Facebook, or Discord group. You could try giving him a phone call if you have an urgent message for him that requires his attention. In my opinion, spending quality time with friends and family offline is way better than spending the whole day replying to social media messages that eat into your profitable time.

Awful for receiving person too, may be don't want to be bothered and want to be left alone?

Send a message and leave it, stop with constant hankering.

[cryptoaddictchie]

This is really happened on real life. Maybe his drawn too much into crypto and forgot to spend his earning and money to some most valuable thing and stuff in life. Its hard not to have friends, but maybe he really just wanted to focus on whats he is doing now. Its also good but its always better to have a balance life, and enjoying the perks of what he did earned.

People might forgot it due to money and unfortunately, few really changed when they already earned money they cang imagine to have.

[Mpamaegbu]

Either of these two, one is the case with your friend –
1. He's new to trading and he's trying to have a handle on it. So, he devotes more time to his trades.
2. Your friend is a scalper or hourly trader.

I say this because that's common with traders. I had such moments always facing screens in the past but it's not so any more. I multitask while online and always find time to unwind with friends. There's reality outside there. Online life isn't real. Yes, I know making money is real life situation whether online or offline. However, it's good to make out quality time for friends and family. Without them, how else do we spend the money we make? Your friend should find a reason to respond to his messages, except they're spamming or bugging him unnecessarily for help and he's intentionally avoiding them. People do that a whole lot of time when they think or assume that you've more to give and that's a wrong mindset. Otherwise, I don't see how much time it takes to respond to one's messages. It takes little or no time at all.

Many platforms show somebody online even if only the computer is online and the person is in the pub or sleeping.
Even more, there used to be tools to trick the computers you're working on it.

they go on dropping messages upon messages for him without getting back any response from him even at different interval, cause his focus all through the period online is in cryto with the aim of trying to make a living out but these other persons not having a clue feels he is deliberately ignoring their messages.

If you'd to that to me I'd set you on my ignore list, so you can keep spamming (yes, that's the word, I am sure you don't like it) and I am no longer bothered.
Maybe this is what your colleague did?

This days people chase online money so much that they forget the place of giving or spending time with friends and family. And that's a very bad habit.

People spend far too much time on online platforms whether they're chasing money, play games or just spend time they find "quality time", The world has change. Spamming them never helps. Why don't you pay him a visit? Are you also staying too much online to get out a little, even risking you get there and you don't get in (like in the old times)?


All in all, you have some good advice, but you're also doing it wrong, not only your friend/colleague.

I honestly don't find this a big issue. I mean if at the beginning, I find the message a bit boring that will not contribute with the niche I am am currently doing,  I won't bother responding to these people unless otherwise it is very important notice(which you have also mentioned). I'd also rather spend my time making money in crypto than having a shallow conversation.

Perhaps, he knows he can't live on a charity which is always a sad truth.

whether this is a parameter for anything? are social networks so important for the quality of life?
First big question is, are they really real friends? I saw some social media accounts from acquaintances who died where various friends continue to wish them happy birthdays and send wishes for happiness and good health.  they do it persistently even though they don't get any answer.
I also know a lot of people who are so active in real life and that is why they have neglected social networks. do they also need to stop all that and dedicate themselves to Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook or whatever?

note. crypto or trading has nothing to do with this issue.

That's correct.
I wonder if OP would work in an office or factory or whatever, maybe even 2 jobs, hence busy all day, and his/her relatives and friends would call him/her relentlessly on his/her smartphone.... what would (s)he do?  

[lovesmayfamilis]

The OP writes that his friend helped him with information about cryptocurrency. But I think this friend regrets it a lot. Instead of thanking him, the OP now accuses him of not paying attention to his messages.

OP, you probably need to understand that the world doesn't revolve around you. And if a person helped you once, he no longer owes you anything. All in your hands. Did your friend somehow achieve something on his own? Maybe you should also try not to distract people, and also not to teach them what and how to do in the matter of paying attention to people.

Just think, if someone does not answer you, then you are not important to him. And also think about what or who is the reason? Is it not in you?

Well tell him that --trading is not a business and it should reliable as a source of income. ^{[he has a wrong mindset]}
I don't know but I think your friend is a lazy man, there are decent jobs outside that you can be a source of income and not this crypto trading which is very high risk.
About his social media accounts, perhaps that is normal because he wants not to be disturbed by someone else and tries to focus on his work analyzing the market perhaps.

^[snip]
if someone does not answer you, then you are not important to him.

Well you nailed it, at least OP tried to show his concern and that is perhaps enough.

[sunsilk]

We're all growing up and we need to make a living individually. When people think that they're being ignored despite the messages, just think of it that the person is busy whatever he does and we can't invade his privacy.

It's about being mature and if you're not used to it. You have to think about any possibilities why this guy isn't replying to your messages, if he's too focused in what he does, that's what he's trying to sacrifice now for his own future and dreams.

[noorman0]

-snip-
it is a major source of income for him.

this,
major income is certainly a priority because he continues to live and needs it. My question is, what level of friendship are you currently at? If it's just a social network then your friends are doing the natural thing and I will definitely do it. If you can reach him in real life then approach him and say something you think is important or listen to what his dream really is. This is a better form of making friends than contacting via social media.

The world obviously don't revolve around anyone, that I know and I appreciate your reminder of that.
Also, my dear friend and I are very close and getting along very well even till this moment. Am not the complainant actually cause I know what is involved as far as his source of income is concerned.

It's rather other persons such as his other friends and colleagues that have no knowledge of what is in involved by him being online always, these are the persons rather complaining. Of which to some I have tried to explain things to be wouldn't understand cause they are not into cryto or rather they don't posses the knowledge about it.

Like one of the user said in one of the comments on this my thread; that my friend may be ignoring their messages so not to be distracted, as most times social media chats could derail a persons attention with frivolous discussions which was not what the person Intended to before  going online.

I probably misunderstood you. But in this case, everything written earlier should be attributed to those people who just hang out on social networks. To be honest, I have a prejudice that nothing serious can be found on social networks anymore, so I deleted all the profiles that I had.

If your friend follows the same path, I think he will become much calmer and no one will distract him.
