I have encouraged my dad. And today he is going to ivest thru me around 3000$. And i think also i did the same thing for 2-3 friends of mine

That good, if I had pushed my dad for investment but, I have not enough capital. because the investment requires a lot of capital.

It always end in neglect when we tries to invite someone or to invite them to invest in bitcoin. They will only tell you the word scam without doing anything research. I hope in the future they won't regret it.

Of course I used to advise some of my friends to invest in bitcoins, although I explained everything to them but they did not believe in it. They thought the risk was too great.

Well I tried to convince my friends in ETH not bitcoins because BTC is kind of expensive now as an asset ,the value is around $7.3K and still going up.
On the other hand ETH is $300 and is affordable to buy as an asset.
But investing or not it's on them , if they feel that investing in cryptos are risky then they should drop my suggestion.

I have convinced a few friends and family to invest in Ethereum and bitcoin. I gave them the tools and resources to make their own decision

They can always buy a fraction of a bitcoin. A 1% increase is the same amount of money

I came into contact with bitcoin from more than 1 years ago, it was one of my co introduced me to the bitcoin concept, this new concept was attracted, slowly to understand it and then start using it, now I have to my family, friends and colleagues recommend it it is a great invention.
I never try to convince them in investing because i dont want to be blame when something wrong happen. But i'll convince some of my friends to used bitcoin through  joining in campaign, Also i'll explained them about investment and how can be earn to it.

I never convince people because I think it's useless and I cannot see any advantages I get, and besides, in my surroundings no one understands about online business or online job. Not that I do not want to help other people. I just want to focus on doing what I have to do and I want to make my parents happy. Now is not the time to think about other people's problems, I myself have a lot of problems. But do not get me wrong first, if anyone asks me, surely I will answer and I will help as best I can.

Bitcoin price is shocking to me last four years ago and bitcoin price was $240 which was looking very costly and expensive to buy it. But if we see current price the we repent to that time why would not buy it to that time. I told to many people please buy it and hold for some years but didn't believe me and said to me it is fraud and finish after some time. but now it is out of range to buy and just see the dream that it will come back and will buy. Now there is less chance it will come back to buy again.

Haha, negative thinker Smiley I also told it to some of my friends, they are interested but when I told them that they need to invest money to but bitcoin then they lost interest. They only like to gain profit without investment.

I encouraged my brother to join me on our venture to Bitcoinomics (for no other good term).
Bought when it was around $4100, flipped it to buy some ICOs though and have not realized the immediate 50% gain that happened in just a span of a week.

Currently we are both looking into expanding our portfolio to a more diversified one. Probably get some alts on the way.

P.S. We are small time investors who are believers now to the power of cryptos. Looking forward to a world with more options on money. (Not just the banks which always fucks us up).

Bitcoin has been awesome and will always be awesome. We, who have been involved in Bitcoin since the very early days understand this very well. However, for the laymen, for the people who don't really understand the technical aspects of Bitcoin or those who only watch the mainstream media are skeptic about Bitcoin. Since, all they hear in the News is how Bitcoin can be used for illegal activities and how it offers complete anonymity (common misconception) to people to do what they need on Internet.

Have you ever convinced or encouraged anyone to invest in Bitcoin and did you have success? Of course, since we know that we are giving a good advice, so we would usually advice our own family members or friends about this.

In the past few months, I encouraged some of my friends to invest in Bitcoin. They had a lot of questions about it from technical perspective and I helped them understand. They invested in Bitcoin and are very happy with the returns. And now this information propagates and more people will get involved in Bitcoin.

In my humble opinion, as a Bitcoin enthusiast, we can help understand people the positive aspects of Bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin is still in the very initial stages and those of us who really understand what Bitcoin offers, know that Bitcoin Price is only 1/10th of what it's worth right now.

What are the most common responses you get from laymen about investing in Bitcoin?

Some popular ones I receive are:

1. "Oh, it's already too expensive, I cannot afford to buy it."
2. "The governments don't regulate it, why should I invest in it?"
3. "It's an illegal currency and only cyber criminals use it."
4. "What backs up Bitcoin? For example US Dollar is backed by Trust (all time favorite response Cheesy), but what backs up Bitcoin?"
5. "The market is way too volatile to invest."
6. "You can't really use Bitcoin as a currency."
There are now many people who entered the cryptocurrency world because I influenced them. Most of them got interested because I earning a lot of profit because of the bitcoin.

Actually, I do all time. I always recommend it to everyone I know, family, friends, co-workers. but not all of them react positively to the idea of bitcoin because they think it's like Forex and kinda of this stuff. It's not easy at all to convince people (indeed, it's easy to convince jobless lol ).

For me, I just tell my friends about Bitcoin. Giving them information and ask them doing the research themselves. I do not encourage them. Because, if they fail, it is hard to be a good relationship again.

Like my friends talked about bitcoin with my mom when the bitcoin was worth $ 680 and she did not believe it and now it ~ $ 7k300 she is really sad to have not joined it, she herself lose your own chance.

I have tried a couple of times but unfortunately I did not succeed.  They always thought that bitcoin is a scam, a fraud. They are not open to new opportunities that might at least help them financially. They always say that how can it be a currency, it cant even be use as a payment for small quantities. It has even high fees just to transfer small amount compared to banks that almost transfer instantly with minimal cost or almost none if same bank. Sometimes they tell me that bitcoin has no real value bucause it can be classified as an asset or it is not backed up by anything. But for me, I strongly believe in bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. I will not stop investing in it despite more people discourage me to do such.
As of this days, Its just the same I tried many times to my co workers but they are not open minded, they think that bitcoin is just a scam. Well, some of my friends are interested and some are not, but in a long way of my examination, they said that its a lots of things to be study and they will not continue to be part of this good opportunity. I would say that, they want to see first in order them to believed it, well as long as I never stooped believing on this good opportunity, someday I show to them that its not a scam and soon having a good profit will come if not today but in the future.

I have convinced someone to use or invest to bitcoin than in banking. But then they chose to invest in bank. As they said to me that, "That would be a scam and my money can't grow." But as I get my money in bitcoin they were shocked and ask me how to invest on it.

I encouraged four people to invest in Bitcoin this year, which is good money for the time being. I told them that they had to learn the market thoroughly and that the next decisions were theirs, because if they do damage their investment, they can blame me and I do not like it Shocked

That's why I pity those people that didn't believe in bitcoin like they surely miss this once in a lifetime opportunity.
And now many are regretful for their actions in the past and now they're desperate to have some pieces of bitcoin. Well it's not actually too late for them as bitcoin is still in the early stage of adoption and many are keeping their eyes to this.
That's why I didn't actually push this to them, I want them to be curious and approach me because people who really eager are the one's that want a big change in their life.
