JJG’s Outline of Bitcoin Investment Ideas

[JayJuanGee]

[edited out]

And don't make not having more money as an excuse not to invest, meaning when we realize we don't have more money then we should start working hard. It doesn't matter if we feel more tired than usual, because whatever we want must require sacrifice. Especially when it comes to investments that can help our future.

Of course, there will tend to be a lot of individual variation, and even dilemmas that normie newbies might have once they start to hear about bitcoin and look into bitcoin, then they are making choices regarding how much time, energy and/or money to put into bitcoin.  So in that regard bitcoin is not just a financial investment... and young people will be in different situations in concerns to their finances and possible reasons that they might not have money as compared with older people. .and sometimes younger people will be trying to figure out how to increase their income or even perhaps to change their skills and/or training, and it might be more difficult for older persons to consider changing their skills and/or training so that they might make more money but then skills and training improvement could also relate to studying bitcoin to the extent that they even have time to do so.

We cannot necessarily presume the circumstances of others, yet sometimes we might speak in terms of hypothetical persons in order to potentially weigh various options that they might have in regards to how to invest their time, energy and money and how bitcoin might fit within the considerations of a person of a hypothetical age (health status) and income level and/or sets of ambitions.

In my opinion, there's no need to rush into investing because opportunities are always there at any time. There's no such thing as no opportunity unless we have no intention at all, are lazy, and don't want to put in the extra effort.

There's time for those who don't have discretionary income but there's no time for those who already have their discretionary income to invest and decided not to. The price of bitcoin increases overtime likewise, your age. There is a point in time that you wouldn't be that strong to work as you can when you were younger. This is why you don't need to miss this opportunity to invest in bitcoin now that the price is on the fair side and you have the resources and time to do so.

If you're procrastinating, it will make you not see the importance of bitcoin investment for your future because you believe that you can invest anytime you like but you fail to understand that if you start early, you will acquire a good size of bitcoin than when you start later. Don't be among those that will be sitting on the fence in regrets watching those that took the bold step to invest early making profits in the future

When we have money to invest, the sooner the better. I don't think we would force someone who doesn't have money to invest, but we would advise them to work harder to earn more money so that they can start investing. It doesn't have to be a large amount, a little at a time is better than nothing.

And don't make not having more money as an excuse not to invest, meaning when we realize we don't have more money then we should start working hard. It doesn't matter if we feel more tired than usual, because whatever we want must require sacrifice. Especially when it comes to investments that can help our future.

We don't need a lot of money to invest. If we have some discretionary income or if we can find some discretionary income, we can start investing. We don't need a lot of money to invest. People who tell you that it takes a lot of money to invest are probably scaring you.

You should never force someone to invest and you should never tell someone about Bitcoin on your own. If a person is interested in Bitcoin and if he is willing to invest, if he comes to you for some advice, then you can give him investment ideas and give him ideas about Bitcoin.

We have to make sure that before talking someone into investing in bitcoin he/she has a means of income that is reliance on from which the individual can be creating his discretionary income to use it in his bitcoin investment. A lot of situations why people do not succeed in having a long timeline with their investment is dew to a failing means of income and then they feel pressured to sell their investment when in inconvenient situation of emergency.

There is nothing wrong telling someone to invest in bitcoin but what  is wrong is trying to force people to invest in bitcoin. It is kinda of weird how people do that, forcing people to do something against their wish doesn't feel right. If the person is interested or not is up to that person to decide,that atleast is respectful. However, Bitcoin has reached the level where you don't need to forced anyone to invest, but instead people are the ones who are eager to invest in bitcoin and Hodl.
Bitcoin do not require lot of money to begin. It would only require you to have discretionary fund available and basic knowledge.

Forcing someone to invest in bitcoin at this point when many people are complaining about how to feed themselves in a day is a very risky and a very bad idea, some people will use their savings to invest in bitcoin without thinking about how it will affect them, when it comes to anything concerning investment you should never force anybody to invest, the best thing is to just educate the person about it and it works, make sure you explain the key points about how it is, so that the person will not start complaining when the market is not going well as aspected.

There are also some people who want to invest in bitcoin because of quick profit, i don’t associate with those kind of people because no matter how you explain it to them they will still think they can get a quick profit, but when I see a person is serious about investing in bitcoin I make sure I explain to the person so that the person will know that I did not force them to invest, it is their decision to invest in bitcoin.

I think it is not bad to give someone an idea about Bitcoin on my own, because if someone benefits from me, there is nothing wrong here. Because many people do not know what Bitcoin is and many have never heard of Bitcoin, so how will they know about Bitcoin? Of course, they have to learn from someone else. Now, teaching someone about Bitcoin is not bad, but forcing someone to invest is wrong. Because if you force someone to invest, they will blame you if they face any kind of loss. Also, Bitcoin is not legal in many countries, so you should be careful about this.

Teaching someone about Bitcoin and all it entails is not a bad thing, besides it's a good practice that helps to enlighten some individual and investors about it, but what is bad while at it is not telling them the risk attached to it, because if you only tell a newbie of the good side and fails to tell them about the risk or danger attached to it, you will be held responsible if anything happens to his investment.

forcing someone to invest is wrong. Because if you force someone to invest, they will blame you if they face any kind of loss.

Why would you force someone to invest in Bitcoin or anything that will benefit him or her in the first place?
You don't do that because your good intentions will automatically turns bad once anything goes wrong.

It seems to me that I am not responsible for any positive comments that I make about bitcoin (unless i know that my audience member is extremely vulnerable/gullible and/or even retarded), so in that regard, I am pretty sure that I am saved from responsibility for my words by telling the person that they are completely responsible for their own research and their own path into bitcoin, including their execution.  

Sure, I might give my audience person some pointers about bitcoin, yet perhaps I am also telling them that I am not responsible for bitcoin's future performance.

I think that I could also mention some risks, as you suggested, but I am not responsible to outline risks, especially if I am talking with an adult... whether in person or on the internet.

For example, I could just go up to someone in real life who is an adult (presumably not retarded - since ONLY about 2.5% of the adult population fits such retarded status), and then I say,

"bitcoin is a good investment (very good).  I recommend it.  You should look into it."  

I am not responsible for their actions (or their inactions) in regards to my comment whether I say that I am not responsible or not and whether I disclose risks about bitcoin or not.  My audience member is completely responsible, even though I said that I recommend bitcoin.

If my audience member blames me or believes that I am at blame, I am going to tell them that they are completely responsible for their own actions or their own inactions, even if I had not given any disclaimer within my comment and in the start.  

The disclaimer about their being responsible is implied, even if I had not previously said it.  

By the way, the same is true on this forum.  I don't have to give disclaimers in my posts and I can proclaim bitcoin is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and the mere fact that I have been on the forum for nearly 12 years does not cause me to be responsible for a newbies decision to follow my suggestion(s) or not.  

Sure I could change my forum signature to say that I am not responsible for anything that I say, yet it should be an understood principle that each person is responsible for his own actions and/or inactions whether it comes to bitcoin or otherwise (and sure, from time to time, I will make such disclaimers about my not being responsible for my words (or that I could be living in a fantasy or a fiction), yet I believe that I am not required to make such disclaimer statements without it already being understood by each person that they are responsible for their own due diligence into any matter they see on the internet, whether it about bitcoin or any other topic and whether statements come from me or from anyone else on the interwebs).

Edited format and added some words to clarify.

I think it is not bad to give someone an idea about Bitcoin on my own, because if someone benefits from me, there is nothing wrong here. Because many people do not know what Bitcoin is and many have never heard of Bitcoin, so how will they know about Bitcoin?

Nowadays, there's so much information about Bitcoin on the internet and on various social media platforms that it's actually easy for anyone to find out if they want to learn more. Anyone can simply type the keyword "Bitcoin" into the search bar of any browser, and the explanation will appear automatically, allowing them to read it without having to wait for someone else to explain it. While it's certainly okay to tell someone about Bitcoin as long as they're asked to do so, I don't think it's worth wasting time explaining it to them.

Of course, they have to learn from someone else. Now, teaching someone about Bitcoin is not bad, but forcing someone to invest is wrong. Because if you force someone to invest, they will blame you if they face any kind of loss. Also, Bitcoin is not legal in many countries, so you should be careful about this.

If there's anything called coercion, let alone investing, there shouldn't be any coercion even in learning, because someone could immediately blame us for first explaining something they don't know. So, to avoid confusion because you're telling them to be careful and arguing that Bitcoin isn't legal in all countries, it's better not to explain Bitcoin to those who don't want to know. And if someone asks us directly, I think it's enough to provide a link to a comprehensive explanation of Bitcoin for them to read and make their own decision about whether or not to buy Bitcoin.

It seem strange to presume that a lot of folks know what bitcoin is based on their having abilities to access information that relates to bitcoin and also that more people have likely heard the word bitcoin.

Yet adoption rates should go to show that hardly anyone has any clues about what bitcoin is, and even if you ask people about bitcoin they hardly have any clues.

Even on this forum there are a decent number of active members who don't know bitcoin very well.

So, the punchline is that merely having potential access to information about bitcoin will not translate to people knowing what bitcoin is, and their knowing the word "bitcoin" does not mean that they know what it is.

Another thing is there is a lot of misinformation out there and even convoluting concepts of crypto and bitcoin, so if normal people merely come to conclude that bitcoin is merely one of those kinds of cryptos, then they hardly have any fucking clue an they have likely been mislead, too.

Some guys on the forum only know bitcoin for a potential number go up technology, and they have hardly any clue about bitcoin beyond that.

If people actually knew what bitcoin was, then they likely would be figuring out ways to get involved with it and start to adopt it.

We probably have around 1% of the world's population that has any kind of token ownership of bitcoin.. so the rates of adoption are still quite low, and even the folks who own bitcoin, might not really own enough.. which also helps to establish that they really don't hardly have any clue about what bitcoin is, since if they did, they would be actively building their bitcoin holdings to be at least some meaningful part of their net worth or they would start putting a certain portion of their income into it, such as 5% to 25%. as a means to get started while they learn more about it.

Of course, they have to learn from someone else. Now, teaching someone about Bitcoin is not bad, but forcing someone to invest is wrong. Because if you force someone to invest, they will blame you if they face any kind of loss. Also, Bitcoin is not legal in many countries, so you should be careful about this.

And if someone asks us directly, I think it's enough to provide a link to a comprehensive explanation of Bitcoin for them to read and make their own decision about whether or not to buy Bitcoin.

I agree with you not to try to force bitcoin on anyone.

I also agree with you that if anyone asks us about bitcoin, then we should be more than willing to answer their questions, yet surely we might not be able to answer all of their questions.  I also do not have any particular source that I refer people to, yet I will frequently ask them what they know and suggest that they read more about bitcoin and even suggest that I am available to answer their questions.. .. and surely I might end up sending them links to some current event type issues if they are showing interest. .

but yeah, sometimes we have to respond to people based on where they are at, and if we don't really like them or we consider them annoying or maybe we don't know them very well, then maybe in those circumstances we won't offer to continue to talk with them about bitcoin, but instead suggest that they look into it, and even recommend that they consider investing into it.. perhaps somewhere between 5% and 25% of their income, depending on how excited they are about it.  It seems to me when I have a conversation with someone about bitcoin the first time, they don't tend to know very much or maybe they know about some shitcoin, so I will tend to tell them not to fuck around with shitcoins and to focus on bitcoin first...and yeah sometimes I might still be in contact with them, and other times, there is no follow-up conversation so I don't necessarily know what they did with the information that we shared in our conversation, if anything.  I do tend to recommend bitcoin rather than just saying look into it and see what you think.. so I would not tend to not give a recommendation unless it is more of a passing comment and no ability to interact in a conversation.

There may be a lot of risk in doing this. Because if a person does not understand properly and if he starts investing and if his investment keeps losing then he may blame you. It will be better for you not to do this than to do it. If you do this then you will bring danger on yourself.

A person who is interested in Bitcoin will naturally come to you and express his interest in knowing everything about Bitcoin. If someone asks you about this then you can tell him the good and bad sides of Bitcoin. If you do this and if he invests and keeps losing his investment during the market fall then he will not be able to blame you.

Not everyone deserves an in depth explanation from us. At times we only give them an initial pointer and then let them learn on their own. I usually focus only on Bitcoin when explaining things, because in my view it is the foundation before getting into other, more speculative cryptocurrencies.
We share because we care, but in the end the decision is in their own hands. What matters is that we have raised awareness and the rest is left to their willingness to take action. I think this approach is already very good. It does not force anything but it also does not close the door for those who genuinely want to learn.

When a person comes to you to know about bitcoin, stick to bitcoin and explain it to the best of your ability and suggest sources where they can get more materials on bitcoin to do their own self research to create personal growth. There's no need giving the idea of other cryptocurrency a.k.a altcoins to a newcomer who wants to learn about bitcoin. The scope of any material of instructions and teaching should be that it revolves around bitcoin knowledge and investment strategy. Altcoins are another way of gambling and shouldn't be what to talk about to a newbie otherwise you would be giving them a wrong perspective misconception which can cause them to losing their funds with all those shitcoins.

When someone knock your doors and ask about Bitcoin, something to know about you.

You did not practice well with your privacy and other people knew that you are either Bitcoin investor or trader and they knew that you had activities in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency market. It's bad, they can do physical attacks against you.

Another thing is if they asked you about Bitcoin, wanted you to teach them, they are lazy because with Internet, they can learn about Bitcoin easily. If you are knowledgeable, and ready to help them, of course with acceptance that your privacy lost, you can direct them to high quality resources for learning.

You can still introduce someone to bitcoin investment, is not everyone that knows about bitcoin investment you can just introduce them to bitcoin investment tell them the advantage and disadvantage of Bitcoin investment if you have a friend that don't know about bitcoin investment there's nothing wrong in you telling him or her about bitcoin investment so they can also benefit from it the only thing I will advise is for you to tell them the advantage and disadvantage in it let them know that they can lose their money and also gain profits if they should invest in Bitcoin.
One thing we all should understand is that there is no business or investment that does not have their own risk every investment has their own risk even bitcoin investment and so there's nothing that is unusual in letting them know the risk involved in Bitcoin investment and that does not mean they won't invest. I see introducing my friends and family into bitcoin as helping them to grow their financial system.

This is the reason I always maintain privacy by not disclosing personal or financial information to others. I believe that the enemy in the blanket is always around us, even though the person is a close friend who has a smooth cover, but our eyes are never able to penetrate what is in his heart. That's why I'm not only careful with people I don't know, I'm also always alert with those closest to me because crimes happen not because of the perpetrator's intention, but because of the opportunity. Directing them to the source of high-quality learning would be better than teaching them by force and ultimately invading personal privacy, clearly I am not ready to accept the consequences behind that decision.

I have a bit of confusion with what you are saying in connections with shitcoins letteredhub.

I understand any suggestion that you might be making about not talking positively about shitcoins, yet if someone is seeming to be brand new to bitcoin and you are having a somewhat first conversation with them about bitcoin, and you are largely providing various bitcoin basics from your understanding, while suggesting to them that they need to go out there and do some additional research, then aren't you going to at least mention both the dangers of shitcoins and also the dangers of a trading (rather than investing) way of thinking about bitcoin.

Sure, we should not be necessarily be dwelling on the negatives of shitcoins and/or trading, yet it seems that we might want to suggest that there are information sources that are going to attempt to drag a person who is interested in bitcoin into these kinds of distraction directions.  Another distraction direction is going to be various kinds of naysaying about bitcoin to suggest that bitcoin is not a good place to place time, energy, money and/or value.  I tend to be not as concerned about bitcoin naysaying, except to the extent that it might contribute towards hesitancies in getting started rather than just lessening of position size, since it seems to me that anyone who might have concerns about bitcoin's long term prospect, they should be able to just adjust their bitcoin position size to account for their level of positiveness or negativeness in regards to bitcoin's future prospects.

You did not practice well with your privacy and other people knew that you are either Bitcoin investor or trader and they knew that you had activities in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency market. It's bad, they can do physical attacks against you.

It seems that I have seen you post about this fear of neighbors in prior posts.  What kind of a world are we going to live in if we are not able to talk with folks in the real world about bitcoin or to be able to transact directly in bitcoin with our neighbors and people in our community with bitcoin?

It seems to me that we are going to be almost completely disempowered if we are ONLY transacting with bitcoin in quasi-anonymous ways or through the interwebs and/or our coins are held by third parties because we are too scared to hold our own coins.

The powers that be would really love it if we are all scared and distrustful of our neighbors.

Another thing is if they asked you about Bitcoin, wanted you to teach them, they are lazy because with Internet, they can learn about Bitcoin easily.

There is a lot of misinformation and misleading about bitcoin out there, including a whole hell of a lot (that also bleeds into this forum) of convoluting bitcoin and shitcoins.  Quite a few online sources don't really want you to know what bitcoin is and perhaps at best they might want you to consider bitcoin as an investment into an ETF.

Bitcoin does not get its power from these various abstract sources, even though surely there are also good sources of information out there, yet frequently for beginners there may well be difficulties sorting good information from bad and perhaps getting sucked into wrong (or inferior) ideas about bitcoin.

Surely face to face does not resolve all of the various matters, since even in person we can have troubles in our discussions of ideas like bitcoin that have a lot of potential abstractions related to what is money and from where is value derived.

If you are knowledgeable, and ready to help them, of course with acceptance that your privacy lost, you can direct them to high quality resources for learning.

Surely, if we might know some good resources to "get started," then there should be no harm in pointing those out.. .since it seems to me that sometimes if some good starting out resources are pointed out, then there should be abilities to expand out from the good sources, even if still a decent number of newbies may well still have good chances of getting sucked into inferior resources.

How many cryptocurrencies failed?

Yep.. Learn about bitcoin first in order to get a decent framework and avoid getting distracted into various shitcoins and/or trading.

When a person comes to you to know about bitcoin, stick to bitcoin and explain it to the best of your ability and suggest sources where they can get more materials on bitcoin to do their own self research to create personal growth.

When someone knock your doors and ask about Bitcoin, something to know about you.

You did not practice well with your privacy and other people knew that you are either Bitcoin investor or trader and they knew that you had activities in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency market. It's bad, they can do physical attacks against you.

This is the reason I always maintain privacy by not disclosing personal or financial information to others. I believe that the enemy in the blanket is always around us, even though the person is a close friend who has a smooth cover, but our eyes are never able to penetrate what is in his heart. That's why I'm not only careful with people I don't know, I'm also always alert with those closest to me because crimes happen not because of the perpetrator's intention, but because of the opportunity. Directing them to the source of high-quality learning would be better than teaching them by force and ultimately invading personal privacy, clearly I am not ready to accept the consequences behind that decision.

So?  Your solution is to NOT talk to your neighbors or your friends or your relatives about bitcoin?

You envision a world in which we do not interact with friends, relatives and neighbors about something as important as bitcoin?  How about merchants?  Are we going to get rid of in person transactions?

Or perhaps you are envisioning a world in which you do one kind of thing (completely privacy and secrecy - supposedly - and still not sure how that is completely done) while the value of bitcoin's ability to transact directly and to be self custodied is done by others?

Sure that works to some extent, yet the so many paper bitcoins that exist (in regards to various derivative products) would not have much if any value if there were not abilities to self-custody bitcoin and also abilities to transact directly between peers - whether such peers are individual neighbors or maybe they are institutions and governments (not that I am suggesting that institutions and governments need as much privacy as individuals, especially when it comes to the personal attack angle, which I agree is something that no individual should have to go through or to live in fear of). Yes, there are bad people out there.. yet your solution is ? discontinue interacting with neighbors, friends and families about important topics such as value transactions (money and the role of bitcoin in the present and into the future?)?

You should never force someone to invest and you should never tell someone about Bitcoin on your own. If a person is interested in Bitcoin and if he is willing to invest, if he comes to you for some advice, then you can give him investment ideas and give him ideas about Bitcoin.

I think it is not bad to give someone an idea about Bitcoin on my own, because if someone benefits from me, there is nothing wrong here. Because many people do not know what Bitcoin is and many have never heard of Bitcoin, so how will they know about Bitcoin? Of course, they have to learn from someone else. Now, teaching someone about Bitcoin is not bad, but forcing someone to invest is wrong. Because if you force someone to invest, they will blame you if they face any kind of loss. Also, Bitcoin is not legal in many countries, so you should be careful about this.

It is not a bad thing to tell someone about Bitcoin, but it is important to first understand whether the person you are telling is interested or not. If someone is interested and asks what Bitcoin is, why it was created? How does it work? Then he can be helped to understand it correctly. And Bitcoin is not a child's food that should be forced into someone's throat. If he wants to know, you can give information, the right idea can be given, but never force or influence someone to invest in it. Now if someone comes to know about Bitcoin and says, Buy it now, if you don't buy it, you are stupid, this price will never come again, then he will bring his own danger by telling others. Because when that person starts investing in the wrong way, if there is a loss, he will blame the person who advised him to invest. And you said that Bitcoin is not approved in many countries, in that case, you have to be more careful about telling someone about Bitcoin. Because when you tell someone about Bitcoin, you are proving that you have some Bitcoin. Even if you don't have Bitcoin, many people will suspect you, which can lead to legal action against you or your personal life. Therefore, you should be very careful before talking about anything related to Bitcoin. However, if you don't have a problem telling someone, you can give them the right information. Along with this, explain the risk, talk about cash-flow management, discretionary income, long-term mindset. You will teach others in such a way that they can make their own decisions and over time, they will learn and try to learn more on their own.

I think you're having this wrongly and it's important I clearly make you comprehend my point. Privacy is what every bitcoiner should prioritise and live by, but for someone to walk to you and ask that you teach them about bitcoin then it's obvious he/she may have an idea that you're into bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Least you can do is not to bounce them but provide them with right information and links that they can go about and do research for themselves.

Another thing is if they asked you about Bitcoin, wanted you to teach them, they are lazy because with Internet, they can learn about Bitcoin easily. If you are knowledgeable, and ready to help them, of course with acceptance that your privacy lost, you can direct them to high quality resources for learning.

Yeah the internet is there for them to browse but sometimes it's not really about laziness that would make a person to ask you to teach them about bitcoin. If they were lazy they probably not care about wanting to learn it even through you. Perhaps it could be that they have being learning it the wrong way and the sources they're getting materials from  the internet isn't giving them the right knowledge. But seeing how you are doing it and succeeding with your bitcoin investment could prompt people interested to learn about bitcoin to come to you to know your source of knowledge as well.

I am sure some of us didn't have much of the knowledge we have now about bitcoin until we got to be part of this forum and discovered golden secrets of good bitcoin investment strategies some internet materials is lacking of.

There's no need giving the idea of other cryptocurrency a.k.a altcoins to a newcomer who wants to learn about bitcoin. The scope of any material of instructions and teaching should be that it revolves around bitcoin knowledge and investment strategy.

Well, if that's what you had meant earlier then it's necessary.

...

I have a bit of confusion with what you are saying in connections with shitcoins letteredhub.

I understand any suggestion that you might be making about not talking positively about shitcoins, yet if someone is seeming to be brand new to bitcoin and you are having a somewhat first conversation with them about bitcoin, and you are largely providing various bitcoin basics from your understanding, while suggesting to them that they need to go out there and do some additional research, then aren't you going to at least mention both the dangers of shitcoins and also the dangers of a trading (rather than investing) way of thinking about bitcoin.

...

Of course if we must talk about altcoins to a newbie while putting them through about bitcoin then it should be about the negative because obviously the negative aspects of altcoins outweighs any arguable positive which some newbies are misleaded with.

Agree and let me add a little more - investing in Bitcoin is no longer a matter of secrecy. There was a time when investing in Bitcoin was considered illegal and was negatively promoted, but the way the American government and the world are adapting, the current banks are being forced to legalise it, so now there is no more secrecy. If someone wants to tell people about Bitcoin secretly or with a little caution for their own safety or want to inform people about investing here, then that is fine, but it is now unreasonable to not tell anyone because investing in Bitcoin is a crime or illegal.

Now there is a huge change in the world economy, so Bitcoin is playing a huge role in various areas, starting from inflation to being a hedge at the economic level. When Bitcoin is presented to people as an alternative to the conventional fiat financial system against inflation, people gradually start understanding its importance. And with this awareness, the use and acceptance of Bitcoin is increasing among everyone over time. In my opinion, everyone should be encouraged about the advantages and disadvantages of investing here, but not by forcing anyone. However, anyone can tell people about investing in their own style and the benefits of investing.
