If Bitcoin sparks your road to success, what will you do for people who shunned you when you were down and out? (Years ago) I had one chance to buy Bitcoin at ~$0.05 (about 5 USD pennies each!) and I had never heard of BTC, or anticipated the future value so, why bother? This year, I am full of big ideas and exciting ideas, but some members of my extended family tend to completely ignore my efforts to simply say "Hi" (even without sharing my "exciting ideas") a couple of times a year. If you were in a similar situation, and eventually made big money from BTCitcoin related businesses, would you forget the previous cold-shoulder, or ignore them when you are "insanely wealthy" from honest efforts related to Bitcoin?

The big and exciting ideas you are full of and your failure to purchase Bitcoin at 5 cents are irrelevant to the question you posit. The crux of the matter is your extended families indifference towards you. In order to properly answer the question, we would need a lot more information without having to wade through the extraneous material. Usually when people don't want to hear your exciting ideas anymore, it's because you've relied on them too much for support without showing results. As I said though, we need more information and please try to be concise.

We are similar but we are somehow walking on different paths but the same direction. I had started my bitcoin journey collecting from faucet as I study how bitcoin works and how to earn more without capital from my pocket. My mother, brother and my wife were arguing with me and they constantly telling me to stop engaging in bitcoins since it is a waste of time. I heard different criticisms from them but as of now, from zero i have made 50 to 100$ a week and I prove them all wrong. Their indifference is a challenge and I also thank them for treating me that way without their bad treatment I may not have pursue bitcoin longer.

It is not in my nature to shun people, I would rather shove the success down their face. I will arrange the biggest Bitcoin party I can fund, and invite all my Bitcoin buddies and we will have a party of the century. I will also invite all these other people, who pushed me down and make them own up to their mistakes.
Why do we need to shy away from the hard work we have put out to make this a success?

If i was in your position and it was justified then i would just forget those people who gave me the cold shoulder but maybe theres more too it than your telling. your biggest problem in this equation is actually getting bitcoin to a price where we would actually be extremely wealthy, Im afraid the early days are well gone and we wont ever see massive price hikes like we did back then. I cant ever see myself saying i could have bought loads of bitcoins at 700 dollars but never took the opportunity .

I had to lol at this. I'd love to be able to shove success down a lot of people's throats--or ram it up their butts, but that just ain't happening for me. I don't have tales of being able to buy bitcoin at a nickel, as I wasn't aware of it then. Oh well. We really are still in the early adopter phase. Bitcoin is still very young and we're probably still at a low price.

Family's sucks, especially big ones this days. Unfortunately times changed. The only place where you&your family looks good is an old Polaroid picture. Forget about them, why should you bother? You don't own them anything! When they note your success in the future and all of a sudden start to recognise you as a valuable family member show them the correct finger. Middle one as they are showing it to you now.

The reason people are acting like this is because they don't understand bitcoin. It is much easier to just ignore something you don't understand than trying to figure out a way to understand.
Personally, I wouldn't blame them too much for their behaviour. I also wouldn't let them share directly from the wealth I earned any other way than I would by earning it in a different way.
If you would earn your money in a different way, how would you answer your own question?

If it is family and friends then I will forget all of it. If I got wealthy with all of this then I might help them if they need it. Pride is a killer, I wont let it stand in my way. I would rather be humble than stress out myself thinking there is someone that I hate. I wont ignore them, I will let them see that I am doing my best and I did it.

Why should you care for people who shunned you? Even if you made big they probably wouldn't know... And if suddenly they started to care for you that would be a bit suspicious.

Yeah, maybe the OP requires attention to everyone. This is a behavior that is less well done, because it can make we cannot evolve into a better person again. Better care of ourselves first, and after we've been better then we could care about the people, but the thing we have to care about first is family, after that, others

well, i have only introduced bitcoin to the people whom i knew, like my family and friends and also some of my coworkers. and not all of them have accepted it and even thought i am wasting my time. so even if i get somewhere with bitcoin and become successful this way, they are still my family and friends and i will still continue showing them the benefit of using bitcoin.

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.

You cannot blame people for being ignorant and pessimistic, we were there too... until we saw the bigger picture and the true potential of this technology. I would buy each of them a little gift and add
a paper wallet to the gift, with a little money. I will not match their attitude towards me and towards Bitcoin. People believe when they see physical items, and a gift and a paper wallet will be the thing
that gets their attention. Would you be interested if I give you enough money on a piece of paper to buy yourself, say a X-box or a new Tablet?

People will cry in 10 years once they realize buying Bitcoin at 600+ dollars was still cheap as hell. Once we are past 100k dollars per BTC they will cry and regret so much. It will be even worse than missing on a 1 dollar or so per BTC because by 2016 you should have had enough time to learn the importance of owning at least 1 BTC.

if family are ignoring your "ideas" it may be simply that they dont understand or dont want to get involved
many relatives of mine dont even want to install solar panels, so if i magically got rich from maybe buying shares in a company related to solar, ofcourse im not going to show disrespect to family.(crap analogy i know)
if they need financial help then let your personal morals guide who deserves it,
however if the family have be vengeful and shown hate towards you, then be happy you only have to say hi to them 2 times a year, and guide them to another relative that may help them that they atleast had some respect for

I have my plans for my future and I want bigger success and in that way I do not want to look back, so I will not care about them , but I will only keep remember those people who have helped me in my success.

I think its not right to not forgive people or not forget what they have done including ignoring you. Maybe if I gone rich with bitcoin effort, I'll just do the same normal way I'm doing. If they greet me , well i will greet them back. If they inquire about bitcoin, I will happily educate them with it and even show them the richest bitcoin information site for further and deeper knowledge about bitcoin. Doing what they do to you will make you the same kind people as they are. Better stay humble and be blessed more.
