Do you feel like your friends who don't own crypto want you to fail?

[Yakult]

Humans are quite fragile, they easily feel envious each time you achieve something. Maybe they are not your friends as well, because if they are they will support you in each of your every success. If they are just regretful then encourage them that following your step is still possible.

Probably. Because when I tell my friends about bitcoin, some of them recommend me to stop looking for bitcoin. They think it's not a good currency to use. But I don't think they hope I will fail in this thing.

You should keep encouraging them and helping them buy their first btc. It won't be fun being rich all alone.
If you cannot encourage them verbally show them how easy it is to send crypto currencies. Instead of paying back for dinner or something equally small offer them crypto instead of fiat. This is how I got a few friends into crypto when they saw their first returns.

When I first bought my bitcoin in July 2017, I told some of my friends to buy some. Most of them flat out said no. A few of them said they would do research on it and then decide. Everyone ended up not buying any and one of my friends said he would rather spend the money on alcohol and strippers. I told him strippers are a bad investment because you will never get gains and only lose money every time you reinvest in them. My friend hopes I make lots of money from bitcoin and that if I ever get rich, I would owe him a stone crab dinner. He truly wants it to work out for me, but he believes bitcoin will not last and I will lose my investment.

Here's the thing, every time I talk to a friend or a co-worker that is not involved in the crypto world, they always wish me success and hope I make lots of money. But deep down, I can't help but feel that they want me to fail because they aren't involved. How angry and jealous would they be if I succeed? After I told them numerous times to invest in bitcoin or other altcoins. They would be stuck in their cubicles and I would be driving in my lambo. And how happy would they be if I fail and lose my money? They would said, "I told you so. That's why I didn't invest my money into bitcoin."

One of the seven deadly sins is envy. If I fail, I will be stuck in the cubicle and work until I'm 60. And if I succeed, they will be envious, envious that my cubicle next to them is empty, envious that I'm retired and driving around the gold coast in my lambo.

 

It is really hard to please anyone to invest in bitcoin. It is better not to encourage them because we cannot force them to invest it is up to them on how they will manipulate their own money and investment if they ask some advice thats time you give them advices about bitcoin. Regrets is always in the end if they see us succeed in the chosen path we take and even on the profit we had gained.

Some people in fact indulge in the feeling that the Germans call Schadenfreude. Since they don't get the benefits of something, they rejoice if neither others can. However, as someone already has said, beware false friends and don't boast too much of your Bitcoins, should they make you rich. Someone could decide to rob you at some point eventually.

My colleague came into the market 300 thousand last year, now has 60 million. In order to better develop, he resigned to start business, and I can only insist on the original work, because I only invested 6000.

So far I have met many people who were both against and in favor of cryptocurrencies. Most of my friends are interested in the modern technology so they support me and even ask me for investment advice which I don't give because they would blame me later if it was wrong or not profitable short term. I managed to convince some of my friend to buy Bitcoin and it looks like they are really into Bitcoin. I spend a lot of time educating them and helping them to understand the whole system.

I did that also before.My co-workers got interested in bitcoin too so i gave them ideas how to gain bitcoin and work with it.I told them to research also for further knowledge but until now there's no feedback about it.Seems they lost their interest already.Others are also telling me that this cryptocurrency will not really lasts,it will be famous today but in the long run it will suddenly gone.So i told them just wait and see.I realized ignoring them would be a better way to get me through my goal.

[kmrunner]

speaking to myself, I was in the position where I don't have my own crypto, at first I felt jealous with my friend because I know even if she don't tell me she's earning more than I.  There is always negative feelings but I think one person is just wanting to be like the other person, its a normal feeling but would feel sorry if you fail. But then, she made me realize  and understand that I should also try doing bitcoin and I did.

[Fakhri1907]

Every time i talk bitcoin with my friend who doesn't invest in  bitcoin, they feels like ussual. They doesn't hate or join me, and i don't ask them to join me, because i know, every decission that related to money is on their own hand, and i can't force them to invest in bitcoin

[alyssa85]

Don't talk about money to friends (and bitcoin is money). It just causes problems because friends measure themselves against each other. If one friend is suddenly rich, it makes the rest feel like losers.

So keep your wealth to yourself, there is no need to brag or advertise it.

[QuestionAuthority]

I think you’re right. Most people want to believe that deep down other people are kind and warmhearted. I think most people are superficially kind and warmhearted but deep down they’re competitive vicious sadistic assholes.

[fritzbird]

There are friends of mine who are astonished but has a bit of doubt with cryptocurrencies,
they express a keen interest at first but when I start to share and talk about it, the
latter response is somewhat negative. Yes there are plenty of individuals out there who
are thinking and speculating of ones failure. I respect the opinions of others, even criticisms
are normal with bitcoins and altcoins. But I disagree with debating critics, it's a waste
of time. I think the more negativity there is with people who are against cryptos, the better
the odds of success for people whom are into bitcoins and altcoins. That's positive for me.

[muratsink]

they only understand about bitcoin, do not know and understand about Crypto, so many of them misunderstand about the origin of bitcoin. but there is still much they need to know besides bitcoin. when I teach them about what I do they do other work, and make them lose it.

Yes, there are so many people who want me and my crypto association to fail. Most of them are shy and jealous people.
There are a lot of people who want to be millionaires, they announce to people eloquently and this is the only way they can achieve their goals, but they do not do it. They think that this is a trash market and continue to wait for some miracle to happen in their lives.

It doesn't matter what your friends told you about investing in bitcoin. Investing is always of your choice even in other investment than bitcoin. Some people will always want you to fail, so you shouldn't be affected by that. There is nothing wrong with trying to enter stuff like this. The higher the risk, the higher the return. Always think of that. Your friends shouldn't be a hindrance for your success.

[Serdaldal]

Of course not everyone will win, but others will not make us happy because others fail, but everyone else will win and we will win and encourage everybody to work or invest.

[dothebeats]

Some people within my circle is kinda envious that I don't have to work 8-10 hours a day yet I still can provide for my family and have some nice little extra on the side. They often accused me of doing illegal activities on the internet and attributed my wealth into selling illegal items online. I pity those people who are clueless on what I'm doing and can only accuse me of wrongdoings. While those kind of people exist, on the other hand I'm thankful that I still have friends who are willing to learn and help me out on my crypto journey. Some of them are evn better than me in crypto trading and I don't mind it as long as they become successful. Most of them have goods jobs and yet finds their way into crypto trading since it brought them, according to them, serious "extra cash" that they cannot earn with overtimes.

Aside from the extra cash they're earning, they're now studying economics enthusiastically since they want to know how would bitcoin scale in the grand scheme of things. Good thing I have friends who understand that the norms of the society would soon shift into something more disruptive and innovative.

It feels like an individual trying to get Bitcoin and holding it then they sell it and miss the pump. Just keep your coins don't fail.

[CONOFLEX]

I also got  that feeling from some of my friends,but when I started  to maked money some of them change  their  opinions about crypto.
