About 5 and more... mostly on my office work.
The bad news is all of my office friend are not accept it for the first time. But I try to explain step by step so more and more coming to interest about bitcoin

Mostly of the people who join bitcoin are mostly that know about computers technology and who are geeky Tongue
People who trade sell buy and other similar hobbies and jobs.

Most people I recommended it too found it interesting, but ultimately didn't take any steps to get involved.

One friend did invest and made £10,000 pretty easily. He was pretty chuffed Smiley

Only 1, when i told him about bitcoin, he just don't believe it and i never talk about it anymore.
                                                                 

he don't believe what? that bitcoin can surpass fiat, that can rise to 10k? or that simply bitcoin isnt' real but just a ponzi scheme and nothing else like many depict it...

personally i would try to convince him, you can do it pretty easily, by starting with saying that bitcoin is money
Not all people can understand or trust something new like bitcoin. He will say 'are you kidding me?' or 'don't joke around me', when he hear its value is higher than fiat. Trust to me, its hard to recommend people in a city that less bitcoin development.

yeah. right now it is no hard to convince many people to accept what benefits bitcoin has to offer . but when the price goes up everybody will be interested in it again.

just like before when the price was going up i could hear everywhere that people are talking about bitcoin

That is true People will talk about bitcoins when the prices goes up, but what  when the prices are going down or fluctuating like anything, at that stage they will start talking negative related to bitcoins and would just  avoid it by saying its just an scam, cannot afford to trust bitcoins as an investment tool. And that's the reality.

most of us besides attracted by the low fees we know that the volatil on bitcoin is one way to make easy money ,some of us inside just to make easy money ,but those may scare others as it can loose 40 dollars worth as gain 100 dollars value,soo some people would invest at a lower volatil option....my friends most of them dont know what is bitcoin.... and well they wont listen me about it ,most of them use is salary to pay bills and the $$ left well most of them spend it just a part save it ,but invest it is far away from the most.

That's good that you recommended your friend to join it, but first of all you should be aware about the pros & cons of bitcoins then only you would be in better position to explain him what bitcoin is all about, As you said that you are new so its better you understand it the first and the recommend to your friend.

i guess he was invited by someone ,atleast looks like but if he just joined he must search a bit deeply about bitcoin,cant say to anyone that bitcoin is like gold eggs that will make someone milionaire

You cannot build statue of liberty in a single day, same way no one can become millionaire in a single day, it requires great level of dedication and hard work. So my friends wants to build it in a single day.. So I simply said them to stay away or invest on your own risk  Grin

its hard to recommend something that you don't fully understand.

Exactly. You can recommend something to someone only if you are perfectly aware about it. So when you recommend make sure that there would be counter attack from the other end, and if you cannot provide a valid solution then no one would trust the fact of using or holding a bitcoin.

And that's the reality.

and the worst part is if they lose money over it. imagine that you have introduced someone to bitcoin and they get excited about it and invest their money in bitcoin, like back when the price was so high (around $1000). when the price goes down and they lose money the first person that they turn their blame to is going to be the one who introduced them to it.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

I've heard about bitcoin once from the person I know who. But he didn't actually suggest me to use it neither said me something about it. So, i've got very interested what is bitcoin, where and how to use it, where and how to earn. I made a search using google Smiley and got to some sites. Thats how my adventure started Cheesy
Almost all my friends are using bitcoins somehow.

I told my few friends about Bitcoin in the beginning.
They laughed and then I left my idea of using Bitcoin.

I recommend bitcoin to all my friends, I think the way to introduce bitcoin to somebody is to show them how it works and get them started with some small initial amount of bitcoin.

The best recommendation is sharing the bitcoin platform any blog about it.
Sharing in social media is a good thing, also in twitter tweeting people will be interested and will accept easier.

What they do with their coins? how they lose it ? i think they not use it wisely so that they lose their money. Being a wise man is the best way to earn or to grow your money.
