How many people bought Bitcoin because of you?

[Chikito]

Can one person make a difference? Until today more than 10 people bought Bitcoin because of me and I want to know how much influence do we have on people around us so we can understand how effective we are in spreading Bitcoin worldwide.

I have my office friend bought about 0.5BTC because of me. not much enough, some of friends still have doubt and learning about bitcoin. On my room office have about 5 friend, 1 person already bought it and want to buy hardware wallet to keep it. 4 person still learning about cryptocurrency.

I try not to be too aggressive when I'm explaining bitcoin to people and I tell them that there is always a risk that it will crash in the future.  No one knows what the future holds and it 10 years bitcoin could be completely useless, I don't think that will happen but it is possible.

If I were to count, I realized I influenced three good persons. They already invested in bitcoin, somehow I changed 3 lives of my two relatives and a friend of mine. Now, they are part of this great and advanced technology. So glad, I tend to introduced bitcoin to them. They are really happy that I let them know the good things about investing into it. Though the risks is always here, but the moment they will learn how to manage it, the better they become.

Hello Everyone,
My question is: How many people bought Bitcoin because of you?

Let's See who is the most influential person

Thanks for participating !!!

This is a nice poll. Thanks for having thought of this. And it made realize that I have only influenced 5 or less people to buy Bitcoin. Well, that is as far as I can remember. I hope I have also piqued the curiosity of some other people to whom I shared a little information about Bitcoin. They could have researched more on it and eventually started buying their own BTC.

I found a difficult thing when I give an offer to some of my close friend to bought bitcoin. They never thought bitcoin is really legit place to be use as some people says including me. They only thought bitcoin is a place which can make their money lost if they have a deal with. But I tried hard to convince them and just seven of my friend who bought it. I tried to explain how I can get money from bitcoin such as through trading they can hold it for long term and most of them choose to hold for long term. They bought bitcoin at December ago when it's price around $3700 if I not mistaken, but so far they still hold it and didn't took a decide to sold it when bitcoin price touch $13000 a few days ago. They have a target to sold their bitcoin when its price touch ATH last year.

no that many.
i think the reason is because i have always discouraged people from just investing in bitcoin while thinking of it as a get rich quick scheme and whenever someone asks me whether they are going to make a ton of money by buying bitcoin i will tell them "no you will lose all your money".
instead i have always encouraged them to see bitcoin as the decentralized currency it is and when you do that you discourage those money seeking people and only get people who are willing to learn a little and use bitcoin instead of holding it to dump a while later to go back to fiat.

It was during 2017 when I started joining this forum and started joining bounty campaigns. I didn't buy bitcoin that time since it was too expensive for me and I convinced people to join me here as well but bitcoin was popping off back then and there are cheap altcoins that have a really good future like bitcoin. That is why they just bought altcoins instead of investing in bitcoin. They bought the coins that are less than $5.

None because i don't advice any of my friends or other people to buy or get into it because if the bitcoin price goes low they might panic and sell at loss and i don't want me to become the reason of their failure.

I don't tell people I own bitcoin now. Mostly for security reasons.

Back in 2013-2014 I told people because the price was low and I figured they wouldn't listen anyways. So after the price broke $10K a year back I had people asking whether they should invest or not.

I told them to wait until price was lower and buy then. They either didn't listen and bought at the top or when it hit $3K they didn't buy because the excitement was gone.

Better not to tell people about investing in Bitcoin. Most will go full 100x leverage on Bitmex and get rekt and then they will blame you for their loss.

Personally I was able to convinced two of my housemates into buying bitcoin one of them bought at a price of $3600+ and sold off of at $12000 making some massive profits although his buying of the btc is based on hodling and makes profit vis-a-vis trading and not biased towards the technology aspect of btc in fact he was very happy to be involved in btc for the first time while promising to introduce more people to cryptocurrencies.

Not so long ago, I advised a friend to buy Bitcoin when it cost $ 3,500. It seems that it was in March-April 2019. Then he said that he did not believe in something that had no value under him. He said that bitkion is just "0" and "1". This month we met and he asked me if I bought bitcoin in March. I told him that I did not buy, because I bought it even earlier. Many people simply can not believe that Bitcoin is not just a "0" and "1" but a new reality that can change the world.

watching me investing and doing payments many of my friends also initially started with small amounts and they are now doing more , and watching them  because of them other also started so its like branching

[Betwrong]

Not only I'm not encouraging people I know to buy Bitcoin, but I even advise them not to do this if they ask my advice. That is so because people I know personally normally don't invest in anything like stocks, gold etc, and they want to invest in BTC only because of the hype. If they were buying gold,  as a long-term investment, I would suggest them to buy Bitcoin instead.

Overall, I think people should do their own research about Bitcoin and draw their own conclusions. We shouldn't advise people to buy BTC, but we surely should make them know more about it because it's for their own good to know more about one thing that is definitely belongs to the future.

I specifically tell my family and friends not to invest in bitcoin because they're likely to get scammed or store large amounts of money on exchanges (which is very insecure)...

This sounds like it's written by someone who does not know that except crypto-exchanges we have : desktop, hardware, mobile, paper wallets... You actually talk to people around you that investing in bitcoin is scam, and in the same time you are involved and profit from same

Hopefully zero.

I hate the idea of giving other people investment advice. I can flip some altcoins here and there, but I am no market guru. If I told someone to buy, the market might crash for the next year straight. I'd feel horrible about that, so I never tell people to buy.

I can not say that number of people who invest in bitcoin because of me is zero, but most of them understand it as a way to get rich quick, and that big correction from $20k to $3k was very cold shower for them. As you say I do not want to be responsible for other people money, not only because bitcoin is very volatile, but also for security of their coins. Nobody wants to invest $50 in hardware wallet, but in same time they ask when bitcoin will be $100k.

Just my 2 brothers
I'm not comfortable to make people buy bitcoins because it's very stressful when people asking you everytime if they sell, if they buy, what to do if lose money etc

[sulendra12]

Nice thread actually.

Referred friends of mine to bought Bitcoin. They were really happy once they knew what is Bitcoin, but it is just a matter of time until they gave up just because they didn't get anything from Bitcoin, unlike what they hear from me. It's normal, to see like that. Many people are just bandwagon and shit

And then why would you do that if that would make you annoyed??

Many people know that I play and make money with Bitcoin but no one around me tries to buy it, most of them just want to know what Bitcoin is.

[Reid]

Wow. i didnt notice that itt will be a good question.
Now, I will need to ask those fools which I have taught about what bitcoin is if they really bought 1 or a couple of it.

I do know there is one which is still active in sharing about the good news of bitcoin and maybe, just maybe he did bought bitcoin.
I will ask for transaction history just so to have some proofs and also for laughs. ;Da

[agatha90]

I have known bitcoin since 2015, because I see some of my friends on Facebook write about bitcoin, then I am interested and then join crypto. At first I only bought 1.6btc for $ 550, then in a few months the price rose to $ 750. I started to be happy and invited my sister, brother and friend. They are interested and until now they are still hoping that bitcoin can go to the moon.

[Japinat]

A lot of people ask me about bitcoin but I only manage to convince one person to buy bitcoin, that's a success for me as somehow I contributed for the adoption, LOL.

It's hard to convince people if they are not open minded as most of the people that approached me, sees bitcoin as a ponzi scheme where they want to get big and quick profit in bitcoin, so they were not able to invest on it.
