Are you secretive about trading currency?

[udidrone]

When people ask, What do you do for a living? I have a full time job, but I also trade crypto-currency.  I do not like telling them about my currency and Bitcoin activities because when I tell people about trading currency online our relationship sometimes changes. They start scheming or they think "I can do that, better than you" and I suspect they want to secretly start trading too.
 
Does anybody relate to this?

If someone ask my job, i not say that i am on crypto yet. Because they will curious and keep asking me how to do it. Especially when they see us success, they wouldn't know how struggle we are in trading activity and think it is easy money.

Unless you are concern about your security, I don't think there is anything wrong with saying you are involved in cryptocurrency trading. You are actually helping in spreading the word. Don't worry about what they think and what they do after you tell them.

I don't trade much but I am no secretive about it.In my country there is a wide adoption from tech people about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

People here always are buying mining equipment although I hear them complaining that it is not profitable to mine anymore.

There is a website where we can sell electronics/computer parts and that website is filled with mining rigs and people asking to sell their cryptocurrency in a face to face transaction.

Well, some times I chose not to tell some people what I do online because they may think negatively about the whole thing because of their level of understanding about what what one can do online to make money. Though, there are people who I do tell but it will end up become a disturbance on me for many of them have ended up asking me to teach them and that is why am some time secretive about my only business activities.

I will tell them that I earn money from the internet but I will not say for clear and I will let them to curious and search by themselves.
I don't want to explain too deeply about what I do on the internet because I see so many rejecting from them in the past and I don't want to get the same things as before.
I will say that it's better you search by yourself, so you know what I did, and I only say the clue was "bitcoin."
Many people out there especially my friends who are curious about bitcoin but I only teach about bitcoin for people who really wants to know about bitcoin and the rest of them, I will not tells anything

Dude. What you're doing isn't affecting their lives in any way at all. Why would that change anything about your friendship? If they're that shallow for no reason then i don't think they're worth your time. For me, i don't brag about trading. And it's not that often thaty friends catch me when i 'm in binance. But when they do and they get curious, i try my best to explain. It's not illegal in my country so no reason to be secretive about it.

[zhekinsp]

I am too generous kind of person and also want everyone to enjoy the benefits from crypto trading but most of them were not ready to learn what is that and even many will not trust my words about cryptos,if anyone got much interested then I definitely teach them what is trading but not convincing anyone to trust it.

[BitBustah]

Sometimes its better to not influence your friends and families what to do with their money , things can go sour real fast if they end up losing money because of you. 

Traders with real strategy keep it a secret for themselves, they aren't going to ruin their profitable method by telling randoms over the internet.

No I cannot relate because my sets of friends are not stupids as yours lol

My friends are having their own ways of living and actually I am the one who’s trying to encourage them to join or invest in cryptocurrency but they are hesitant

And why would I secretly trade when I can be proud to tell them so they might become interested and join our community here

[cryptoperkele]

I am just responding that i trade forex now. I learned to shut up about crypto on the last bull market when i realized that this will paint a target on my back in the future.

[Reid]

Yes, actually I dont need to tell them.
Although they know I have been with crypto currencies. They dont know about how they do it. I bet they are also secretly doing it without my knowledge.

It is okay for me. As long as I have enlightened with what is happening in the internet and not just social medias and Youtube.
Also, they know that I have been making money secretly since I dont really care much about my monthly salary.

I am more caring about people's responses, if they also want to build cryptocurrency after you explain to them, that's very good because adoption will also be more and more if they ask what my job is I will say it is in accordance with what I am doing, besides trading and cryptocurrency activities I also have a full time job. I like to share information and it connects communication to me, it's just that I often sort information that I will share because there might be a risk of that information.

[gabbie2010]

From my end here I do tell them I'm involved in bitcoin related stuffs trading, binary options etc while some are curious about it wanting to learn from me while majority admonished me to stay away guessing that I must have been involving in online scam but I wouldn't give a damn that won't deters or discourage me from my trading
Honestly I must admit I had made money from my crypto related activities and had been very supportive financially to my family.

If me i said that i sell something and be reseller in local marketplace. I think with that already safe for me and they will think if selling something online is not really easy for them. And then they not disturb me again.

Hiding the knowledge about bitcoin/crypto from people is one of the reasons we haven't gone so far in terms of adoption.

If you are insecure about your neighbor becoming as successful from your knowledge(everybody does this), you could reveal it to them under the condition that they use your referral links,  so it becomes win win for both of you.

Spreading the knowledge doesnt necessarily has to be in your locality, it can be done on social media. 

Be mindful of those you teach though. Don't reveal risky stuff like this to the impatient ones or those that dont tolerate risk.  Let them also know about its disadvantages and advantages.

What peoples/society says that really doesn't matter. They don't feed you, they don't pay for your needs.
They will always underestimate you when you are a failure, and they will always be jealous when you are successful.

And you also should not suspect what they do secretly.

There is nothing to hide for the things you do unless it is a secretive thing. No need to announce by yourself what you do. If your friends/colleagues/relatives ask you what you do then tell them if it is appropriate for that particular person otherwise ignore if you think that person is a minor or major threat to you in regards to criticism or something unexpected...

Just move on with the things you love.

Yes it is a very precise thought where they will never care and make what you do criticized by most people, I don't talk to everyone much what I do now only a few people understand that and for me they will understand that after crypto hyoe is everywhere and has entered the deepest area, I like that to not see other people's nonsense.

[leowonderful]

I've only ever told a few of my friends that I trade crypto (and I've helped two of 'em become relatively successful traders in addition). I'm not completely hiding the fact that I trade crypto, but I also don't blabber to everyone I know that I trade crypto just in case something bad happens. Most people know me as the guy that plays Counter-Strike though, not as a cryptocurrency trader. 

[proTECH77]

Due to security reasons around the place i work, am secretive about my trading cryptocurrency, and about my possessing cryptocurrency too. Humans are unpredictable while dealing with them, one must be careful, becasue there are haters around, that are ready to destroy you by any means, so, am secretive in all am doing.

Just like you, I am also less open to everyone but with different reasons, and my reason is because I almost feel bored by telling and teaching about trade and the crypto world with what I know for everyone who asks because ultimately all will in vain because they were only excited at the beginning and then they felt hopeless and even gave up.
