About the Op's question, I'm yet to receive such call for explanation on bitcoin. Bitcoin discussion is already found everywhere on the net. Some my friends will not buy btc even if it will go to 100k, they just dont like trading/investing
They are those who don't actually like the online business , not because of bitcoin. Online business and bitcoin investment go close to each other. But your friends maybe missing something now and may want to invest when price has gone to high levels.

Lol - 2 days , 2 phone calls from friends who invested back in December 2018. I got them interested in Bitcoin and they eventually bought some. Both phone calls were about cashing out, unfortunately they’ve had to cash out due to Covid financial difficulties, but they’ve both quadrupled their investment! I’m glad I’ve bored a few friends in the past with my “Bitcoin nonsense “ ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Me on the other hand - hodl and hodl HARD ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) AND another call today - “ I’ve read in The Telegaraph (Newspaper) that Bitcoin is going to 20x by the end of 2021- How do I buy some ?” I suppose any mass media mention is good for Bitcoin ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Yup, actually more of them are present during this time, I always have someone way back in college who would always message me if it's still good in this industry, specially when he already have heard that btc price is pumping. I don't mind it but sometimes I do see him as those people who didn't really appreciate the currency, he's just here whenever there's an opportunity. And I think he see me as someone who would give him information about the time where he can earn money here, I don't think he would actually be rich using this currency just like what he aspires to be if he's just here during the price bull run cause it's just too late...
Well in my case i am very curious that may uncle asked me recently about how to deal with bitcoin. At first i didn't expect that this question might came from him and so i do explained to him what i have know about bitcoin. Then at the end of our conversation he present me the link that he wanted to know if familiar to me suddenly i don't know about it then i'll find out that he already give a certain amount of fiat to avail an account from the said investment. To make the long story short my uncle got trap by the scammers sad but i'll just explained to him to not believe in such kind of sended links without proper research about it.

Haven't had any call from friend/family member in recent days requesting to know about bitcoin. Myself surrounding by people who aren't rich to make investment. Everyone are living with their daily earning mostly, and this doesn't let them take time to know about technology growth happening around. I tend to brief them, but without investing they aren't gonna get benefitted. If I suggest they'll go invest the money for living. This is quite risky, because when they're in need the market might be bearish.

When we're having the bull run and you posted the Bitcoin price chart on Facebook or in your Instagram, expect that most of your friends will message you and ask you about it, and when you told them about Bitcoin, what they should do to have it and earn profits, if they find it out complicated, they will instantly lose their interest which just wasted your time explaining.
Those people just wanted to earn money in the very easiest way yet they don't want to put any effort, that's why they are the most victims when it comes to ponzi schemes and other too good to be true networking schemes that use Bitcoin to lure people to invest in them.

Received a call from a family member today who 2 years ago told me bitcoin was a scam. He was asking me how to properly store his bitcoin. Haters hate until they learn the truth ..bitcoin is real and here to stay. Randomly came across this tweet today .. fitting for this convo (and is from back in August) https://twitter.com/prestonpysh/status/1300462461888401409?s=21![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2F9h9rrGg%2F57946-F6-E-57-B4-4-A2-E-BDA0-0-DB4-F2-A3-D2-A5.jpg&t=665&c=4L8-HpoerlWsaA)

Actually yes, one of my friends asked me about how to buy bitcoin recently to me and she already knows about cryptocurrencies but with the current price increase it made more curious for I guess. But didn't actually invested anything yet but planning to invest decent amount of fiat into cryptocurrencies for long term purpose.

Was just kind of curious if many of you also tend to get random calls or texts every time bitcoin goes on one of it's runs from family/friends/acquaintances asking you about bitcoin/how it works etc. I'm also curious if you're getting more calls/texts this time around, or about the same as other rallies?
i have actually, there were friends of mine really surprised about how the hell i got money from bitcoin and they started to ask me how do i start earn with bitcoin and how to get started into bitcoin. where at the beginning they were bitching out of me cuz they though bitcoin is useless and worth nothing and they are wrong and eat their words forever

My family is just happy I found something I can be passionate about. They really just happy I now have a form of income because before crypto came along I didn't enjoy anything. Not IT not working at the airport not nothing. I left every job I ever got because it sucked and the pay was not enough I thought my time was worth more than that. You just making some other idiot rich anyway. They fully support me and I always tell them about my next venture and the current projects I support and work on. So pretty much from the very start, they asked about it. Lately, not many people ask me about it. I don't really care what others think anyway since I am focused on myself.

in 2017 bitcoin peaked again, that's where I was chased by people, and always asked about bitcoin and asked to be taught ... if at this time almost no one asked, in 2017 I got results that could be said to be big, that's where people get curious and start asking questions, and now the yield is dropping no one is chasing me.

Not yet but I heard about bitcoin when I was still in high school someone told me that it has potential and it is a good opportunity for its buyers but I ignored it because I have no idea and knowledge about bitcoin I tried then reseach what its benefits so I regret because I did not buy bitcoin when the price was still too cheap so lucky those who bought bitcoin.

I stopped giving advice to my friends since 2018, when 2017 Bitcoin hype hit the price of $ 19,000. That year a lot of my friends asked about Bitcoin, after that they were excited to buy Bitcoin in large quantities. Finally in 2018 the price of Bitcoin continued to fall, and some of my friends scolded me for the losses they experienced, in fact, I myself suffered a big loss at that time. It was the worst experience I still remember, so now I focus more on myself.

I have received a lot of calls from my friends and relatives lately regarding crypto currency investment and all of this started to happen when BTC cross $20k and a hype was created by the traders about Bitcoin investment and it's ROI. I have helped many friends in this regard by providing them with latest news about the market and giving them signals regarding investment time by analyzing the predictions of different analysts.

When I was requesting my friends to consider investing in Bitcoin (back in 2017), they were mocking me and claiming that I was promoting scams. Now everyone is regretting about it and all of them want to know how many Bitcoins I own. A few even asked me how to purchase and store cryptocurrency. But the mood once again turned negative after the news reports about the impending ban in India came out.
A lot of new users are interested in Bitcoin right now. After the news about the investment by Tesla came out, there as a huge surge in volumes within various Indian P2P platforms (Tesla is having a strong following here in India). But most of the users are in two minds right now, with the finance minister threatening the cryptocurrency users every now and then. Some of those who had earlier cancelled their plans after hearing about the government move purchased their coins after the news about Tesla came out.

My companions who live abroad regularly considered me to explain about the bitcoins, and I make an honest effort to disclose everything identifies with it. Whenever I receive any call or a text its satisfies me. Not only my friends but my family also take interest in it. They discovered bitcoin as an incredible kind of revenue and a superior spot for a long venture. Many of my friends sold their Gold and other stuff just to put resources into bitcoins

Yes, there are some people who came to my house and asked about bitcoin. The funny thing is they only come if there is something benefits them. They rarely come to my house and even one of them is rarely talk to me. I tell about bitcoin to my friends and at that time they don't care about it because they think that it will not benefit them. One of them said "why looking for virtual money while we can earn real money here" when I tell my friends about bitcoin at a company.

I do, and quite regularly these days, because I have referred crypto and Bitcoin trading to some of my relatives like my maternal uncle and he calls me to discuss about crypto, along with normal talks and he has learned much so he often gives me advise to which coins to buy and sell or hold lmfao. He said to me he's in good profit and I wonder how much, because he bought lots of dogecoin at dip so yeah, he's always charged up when we talk about trading and it makes me a little jealous as well

Not yet, but I'm sure they will, at least where I live bitcoin hasn't been in the spotlight yet, and I think that's the reason for the current lack of interest coming from my acquaintances, but from "yes" family members like my husband who have already started searching for what bitcoin is and can it really be obtained for free, like his wife who works looking for bitcoin fragments to become 1 bitcoin
