I stopper worring at other people.
I have been talking about Bitcoin to my circle of friends for YEARS now.
Some have bought, some others haven't.
Better for us, the price is so low: we can still stack sats.
I never advice any of my friend to invest in Bitcoin not because I don't want them to grow but because I don't want to be blamed in case they didn't see desired results.
If you are "really a friend," then you have an obligation to mention it to them, and they can do with the information as they like.
Your mentioning it to them, and even telling them that bitcoin is a good idea does not cause you to be responsible for their choices (actions) or inactions.
You can also throw in a statement saying: "I am not at all responsible for anything you do (or not do) with the information that I provided for you. You are responsible for your own choices (actions or inactions) and the consequences, if any, from such."
Imagine you advice a friend and he buy Bitcoin when price was above 100k and now within 2 to 3 months price gone down to 70k.
There is a difference between advice and telling him.
Also, refer to the statement above.
I had a couple of people who were in the process of buying homes and/or considering buying homes (in around early and also mid-2025), and I told each of them that they should build up a bitcoin stash first. I believe no one listened to me, yet if they did, they are still responsible for their own action or non-action.
Sure, there is some potential tension between me and such friend if they bought bitcoin (or even if they "bought BIG" based on my representation(s)).. but fuck them if they are not ready, willing and/or able to take responsibility for their own choices (actions/inactions).
We can understand this situation but the new ones see it from other angle. Thats why I focus on my Sats only.
My perspective is that you are being irresponsible and "unfriendly" with your choice to hoard such information, to the extent that your perspective might be respected by your friend.
Now if you are doing it for your own privacy and/or security reasons (based on some characteristic of your friend) then that would be another story, and it may not be a good idea to share information with certain acquaintances (presuming they are not "friends." in any kind of a confidential sense).
