Why bitcoiners are not friendly physical?

[Pokapoka124]

I was very happy  to joined bitcointalk. org November 7 2020, but I came to discovered one thing in the community that is making me wondering, if bitcoiners don't trust themselves by seeing themselves face to face like the way church members or Muslim members love themselves by seeing themselves face to face after the service. Going to three years now, am trying to see some of the bitcoiners in my area to discuss with them how to join hands together to promote Bitcoin in the society but they said they prefer discussing it online than see each other physical.
Are they ashame to be a bitcoiners? or they are among the people that think Bitcoin is a scam?

Bitcoin isn’t a religion so your analogy is incorrect. It is true that members of this forum like to keep their identity private and many would not welcome the idea of meeting a stranger offline. It’s not because they are ashamed or think bitcoin is a scam, it is just a security precaution to ensure their safety. Generally, I don’t think bitcoiners are afraid to see each other in person, there are many bitcoin meetups and conferences hosted all over the world every year and it’s packed. If you want to make connections and network, those are the places you should be.

people in the forum just want to keep their privacy for various reasons. you can only trust them by their history in this forum. it is not because they are ashamed or something, they just don't want to divulge their personal details mostly for security concerns. now, it is different if the anonymous project wants to rekt their investors.

For your own safety and of course the purpose of Bitcoin is to remain anonymous that's why many are choose not to disclose any information when it comes to their crypto transactions. You cannot force them to do this, though if you want someone to ask for then try to attend seminars about Bitcoin, there you'll see a lot of crypto enthusiast that are more willing to help you as long as they can get something from you as well. The idea of being online here are also practicing by the users, personally I don't prefer to socialize because I will gain nothing from them.

I also don't want to talk about my bitcoin investment with anyone outside, not even my close friends. Simply because I like to remain anonymous to those around me, I don't want trouble coming to me. Where I live bitcoin is not legal yet and if I flaunt it I could even get in trouble with the government.

There are lots of Bitcoin and crypto conferences and meetups held in Dubai every year, if you are interested in Real Bitcoin holders and crypto billionaires, then try and attend one of such conferences or meetups.
But another hodle is that, you yourself have to be a billionaire too to attend such conference, and I believe this is the kind of meetups every Bitcoiner is striving to be attending, where we will meet influential people in the industry, this I believe is the reason most of us don't have the time to meet up with some strangers to chit chat about Bitcoin.

[Yatsan]

What's the need to be physically connected then? We are primarily here in this industry to make profit. Indeed being friendly could help you out for things you do not know but we are just all born different. Some would be friendly and some won't be and either way is just fine as long as you are not spreading toxicity in this community. I know people who are also in this industry but outside this platform, we have our own different circles, activities to kill time or simply preferences. Sharing knowledge won't require people to be connected in a more in depth manner; stick with the objective still. Not unless you guys are just getting along big time.

Its not really that necessary because we do know that people does really prioritize their anonymity and security which it would be understandable that someone would really be that keen on exposing up themselves  when it comes to their identity specially if they are dealing with some random people on the net and claiming that they are Bitcoin or crypto enthusiast.Its not that we arent interested
to go along with fellow bitcoiners or supporters but people are really that mindful about their safety which is normal.We cant just easily expose up ourselves and would tend
to be anonymous as possible online.

I ma also a member here and never see each other with other members in the real life. And I am not really taking mind of it. We are here for many reasons. And what most interested is privacy. We don't need to know each other in the real life, but we are interested very well here, sharing experiences, giving solutions and information, and taking and giving any other benefits. It doesn't matter who I am and who you are in this forum, as long as we are here as a member and obey the rules, we are here all Bitcoiner. And not all people will reveal their identity to the people around them. So, you don't need to think hard about this. Let it be like what it really is right now. It doesn't mean that we are ashamed as members of this forum or Bitcoiners, but this is ourselves, this is the specialty of being here, privacy.

One thing that is not clear here is whether Bitcoin is legal or illegal in the country where you originally live?  Face-to-face discussion of Bitcoin is not easily accepted by the general public in countries where it is generally prohibited by the government. They are always restless with the fear of getting into legal trouble.  However, if you feel more comfortable discussing and criticizing Bitcoin online than face-to-face, then there should be no problem. But if the people don't accept it easily, then there should be no pressure on them at all. As bitcoin is officially banned in our country we cannot discuss bitcoin face to face, we discuss through online.

[Bazzu]

not all bitcoiners are like that, because I also have a lot of friends and they all invest in bitcoin and they are very good to talk to about bitcoin and share experiences about investing in bitcoin.
so basically the nature of people is different, but we ourselves have to train ourselves so that we can be successful with investing in bitcoin. So, starting from yourself, don't think too much about others.

Some of us live in quite dangerous places where letting people know we have some satoshis could make us go through unnecessary risks.
Bitcoin besides a currency, investment or asset, is also a tool many of us use to re-gain control over our own savings while living under tyranny and darkness. It is not the same having 1000$ under one's mattress than having 1000$ in Bitcoin, if one can be discreet enough, it is very unlikely someone could take away the little we have.

If there was a Bitcoin meeting/convention here in my city, I would likely not attend for those reasons.

[Kaliandra]

In my opinion op you have to be patient in facing life's challenges, especially regarding bitcoin, because actually in the world of bitcoin I think you have to be smart about pitting your brains, because actually we are competitive even though our investment is the same in bitcoin. and the competition looks like we are on the stock exchange crypto, just try to pay attention to the market, and for the real world, make our lives happy
if you promote bitcoin within your means.
but your friends who act like that to reason they also have goals that you can not know.

I think bitcoin teaches us to always be independent and full of freedom.

Sometimes not everything we think is acceptable to others. Then they are unfriendly or behave differently to what we think. Maybe they have other thoughts that are much better than what we think.
You and they may have different perspectives on promoting Bitcoin. If you want to promote Bitcoin physically maybe they think it's impossible to do. Maybe there will also be a question behind your desire, is there physical Bitcoin around you?

Think wisely and positively that everyone around you has the same intentions and goals towards Bitcoin.
One more thing is that Bitcoin is not a scam.

I don't know who you mean?, because in our country, I always meet up several time bitcointalk member who always active here. But, There are some who won't to face his username account, maybe because he want to not offended ever different idea and opposite on any thread, but in reality, we are a friends and we don't bring it to real life.

So if you think shame because of scammer?

no, we are low profile, we don't want to show wealth (bitcoin address with a huge balance) which can make you as a criminal target.

[HajiBagi]

It's possible that you're misinterpreting them, because not everyone wants the society or community to know more about them, especially when it comes to sources of income, and bitcoin is not hand work or any other jobs, for my understanding it's either they don't want to have a public discussion with you because it might lead to linking up their sources of income, and you know this days when a young man trying to do well with to make money some people think they are getting it in negative ways, like fraud or any other negative ways, so I think maybe you should understand them because we don't know everyone's mind.

[KupaCrypto]

I know how you feel, it hurt if people disappoint you with their unexpected attitude, especially when you believed you share the same views with them. Well, I will like to put it straight to you that many are here not because they want to gain knowledge or add value to Bitcoin, they are here for the money, and it's not so cool. That could only explain what you experienced with those people. Still, it should still not stop you from propagating Bitcoin in your own little way.

Like myself, I've been coaching some people about BTT and BTC, only that I am not such that broadcast it here. You can do it also, it does not necessarily mean it must be done in groups.

Most of them just feel you want to beg them, most  of them too feel a little big most of them are always indoors with their phones and most times they are just thinking even when they step out their they are still thinking and when you see them they don't look friendly because their mind is on something else which u won't know so bitcoiners are great thinkers and thinkers always think no matter where you see them, so maybe the ones you have come across are the thinkers and did not notice you because their mind was somewhere else.

Perhaps most Bitcoiners are nerdy and introvert. Most tech savvy people are kinda socially awkward(like me).
AFAIK, there are lots of crypto conventions, where like minded people can gather up and discuss the future of crypto.
Maybe the Bitcoin users in your area are afraid that someone could kidnap them (or their family member) and ask for a crypto ransom. Do you live in an area with high rates of criminal activity? It's OK for most Bitcoiners to be cautious and to not reveal here and there that they own Bitcoins. I would do the same thing. I would never reveal to a stranger that I have Bitcoins, even if the stranger is a crypto supporter.

[Jawhead999]

It's proving if those people are somewhat have a lot money because they're don't want to reveal their holdings to you. Some people think a person wear branded cloth and other limited accessory is really rich, but it's not actually. He only want to flex and show off his wealth in order to satisfy himself and get a respect from many people, but a real rich person trying to be a low value person and life simple. If you visit his house, don't surprised if he have a big house, many stuffs and high spec PC.

There is no basis for revealing one's identity in the name of being a bitcointalk member this is faceless platform where many information about bitcoin and altcoins is discussed without necessarily putting up a physical appearance even in our Local board there isn't discussion of physical meeting because a lot of members would have been busy with their day jobs, infact some members residential location might be far from each which makes any form of get together or meeting not feasible thus there is no point in initiating a physical meeting with anybody because of our anonymous ways of doing things.

It can also be added that while staying on this forum, some people invited their friends here, but even they did not disclose their nicknames. Sometimes it seems only from your posts that you are close to some people in terms of thoughts, views, and positions, but other than that, you do not know anything about the person. Neither who he is nor his country, gender, or age.
If you want to call yourself a bitcoin devotee, you should be closer to this position and not to the role of a preacher, to which no one has appointed you. Moreover, it is most likely that you do not have all the knowledge to teach. If the religion you belong to preaches modesty, then people who have and are interested in bitcoin should also have this property. For everything else, there is the internet.
