Bitcoin is now more popular compare to 2017, many who called bitcoin a scam have no more reason to keep saying so even when they failed to do their own research, they don't have a reason to call it a scam anymore, even President Trump is now all over it.
Which makes me believe that gone are those days where you are actually helping to create awareness by hosting some gathering or visiting a local school nearby to teach about Bitcoin and the blockchain.
I did this few times in the past but I had more bad experience than good, I ended up creating more enemies for myself than I hoped for, my job was quit easy but my fellow country men and women have their own ways of digesting words and lessons.
Today I have people who don't talk to me anymore and I believe the fault was never mine, I did my part very well, I warned them about software wallets and how they can consider electrum for a time being.
Three of them got their wallet compromised, one lost his bitcoin to a wrong address, I guess clipboard hijacking, these aren't just people, they are friends and family member, but there is one who did all the necessary things and still a holder till date, I wish I can turn back the hands of time and never sit anyone down to teach them anything.
I look like super hero because Trump is supporting Bitcoin, if kamala won the election and the news was Bitcoin had to go, they would have come for me because it looks like they are waiting for such day to come.
What about you? Any regrets?
I'm lucky to have heard many stories from friends about how they regretted recommending Bitcoin to someone. It's a dangerous investment with wild volatility, and if someone ignorantly invests in it, they'll later blame everyone for depriving them of their money. That's why I never recommend investing in cryptocurrency. It's truly dangerous, and we shouldn't be throwing around such advice left and right. If you don't talk about Bitcoin, you can be sure you won't be accused of helping someone wipe out their wallet.
