Set your mind on your goals and nothing else

[DiMarxist]

To achieve your goals is not going be easier but always stand firm, revenge for your goal to come true bear the risk, start strong and finish strong, don't panic what's ever that happens,and always keep believing,the op stand strong and kept his believe,and finish strong,when his family and friends was try to convince him, stoping him, for him not achieve is goal but he didn't panic, the op plan was to revenge because he lose for investing bitcoin,he revenge and get his money back in double fold because he revenge,and kept his believe he start strong and get what he was wanted achieve. Anything that you are doing to achieve your goals, investment or business or academically, always believe,stand strong, and revenge, and bring the results out for people to see, people that accusing, Convincing, try to stopping you from achieve your goals,let only your own result proves to them enough in giving a trials.

I got mad one day and I left the city and move to another city, because they won't let me be and they felt I will waste my life away.

I just can imagine how much confidence you have on yourself like if my parents told me something i could not do, i make a Stagnant mind and will not even give it a try. But you are on another level sir. Really appreciate your journey and the moves you made. Like left city can't even imagine doing. Well, i think that also depends on the resources too, to leave home and go somewhere.

I would love to know how you managed all this, like when you left home, how much money did you have back then and how did you make such money to buy a home, ride, and earn a wife (with respect and trust) like really bro. I am in crypto in my 3rd year and only bought a phone and managed my study expenses plus household expenses (only a few times). But never imagined of getting a new house and ride but love to do that. If you could teach me (i know it's up to you but your story has blown me away.

If you are a crypto newbie, make sure you set your mind on your goals, do not be discouraged by anyone, people can't see the future, we are not gods or demigods who can read the future, do not listen to any naysayers.

The funny thing is no one discouraged me as your parents and friends did, but still, i am afraid of many things like due to less knowledge (of trading). And i will follow your tip to make a progressive mindset actually in the start i set up my mind to earning only $1k per year ( i know that's too low) but i was ok and tend to make efforts as i have no investment. I did future trading and lost the investment that i saved from my scholarship. So from then to now, i did not get a chance to trade but now i will make some extra money and try to earn more.

I don't know why and now they are asking for my help, I have to do it since they are my family, and even my friends are asking for help, would you help your discouraging friends if you are in my shoe? They were my friends, but not anymore, I believe friends should be supportive of each other, am I wrong.

Indeed, sometimes there are conditions like this, where family or friends who are supposed to provide support for those of us who are down actually making things worse, blame us, and also berate us for our condition at certain times. And this, to be honest, often happens when we are in trouble, they leave, while they will come again when we are successful. And they seem to be people who have a big contribution to our success. I really understand your feelings, feelings of disappointment and hatred, but on the other hand, they are your family. I think it's only natural if you are angry and don't want to help them, especially those who claim to be friends. Ignore it. But if it's family, help naturally, because it's not certain that they will always remember or thank us for our help.

[Luffygroove]

It can be tough to pursue your dreams while facing lack of support from loved ones. However, your perseverance and hard work have paid off, and it's impressive how well things have turned out for you. Taking risks and forging a less-traveled path can be challenging, but you've proven yourself and made it happen. It's great to hear that luck has also played a role in your journey.

When it comes to helping your discouraging friends, it's important to prioritize your own financial stability and set healthy boundaries. It's okay to politely decline or offer guidance without taking on undue responsibility.

Remember to stay focused on your goals, surround yourself with a supportive community, and continue to follow your passion for crypto. You're not alone, and many others have faced similar challenges. Stay true to yourself and believe in your vision for the future. Cheers!

I spent five years away from friends and family, because whenever I bring up how crypto can be life-changing they always discourage me, maybe because I lost some money to few trades and I was not that good at trading at the time, I got mad one day and I left the city and move to another city, because they won't let me be and they felt I will waste my life away.

Today, I now own a home and a nice ride, I was able to get married and settle down, but now they feel like they made a huge mistake for not listening to me. I believe this was the best decision I've ever made, I was able to gathered some BTC in 2019  to 2020 bear market and also with the help of my trading skills.

Only God knows what would have happened if I never left, my mind kept telling me to venture into crypto at the time and even my own family shut the idea down.

if you're in a good position and you think you can support them in any way, it's best you do it, not because the are or were your friends but because we rise by lifting others and we aren't supposed to be nice to people because the where there for us.
I believe your family and friends didn't mean to discourage you in any way, perhaps the didn't trust the process and just wanted the best for you.

Treat them well please.

No matter how mad you are, how angry you are, your friends and family has a part in your life because you can't made decision or plan if you have no friends or family who has on your side. They think it's a waste because they don't know what the cryptos are, So the best that he can do is forgive them and try to connect again with your family and friends, be good with them

[Botnake]

People may not believe in your dreams but as for you who knows what you are doing, you don't need to be discouraged with whatever they are saying. Always be focused on your goals and achievement whenever it has come to reality they will be the ones to call you again for help and assistance. One thing you must know is that anyone who sees you with laptop may not understand the kind of job you are doing, many may take you for fraudster who always seat at home scamming people, so it's better to stay away from people, hide yourself and focused your business.

Lastly, you need to help them because they are your family and friends, right now what I expected you to do is to explain your business to them so that they will understand you more better.

Forget other people and stick to your dreams. If you believe you can achieve your dream, keep doing it and don't give up even though the situation may be difficult. Only those who can strive beyond others will succeed and achieve their desired success, while others will only stop halfway and despair. Just let other people think it's impossible to do and that they might underestimate what you do because they don't know how to do it. And I agree to help your family and close friends, especially those who want to know how you work and can make money.

The thing is there’s no need to get discouraged if you know exactly what you are doing, and that you have high hopes that eventually you’ll succeed in the end. Just trust the process and never lost hope, after all your family and friends who became unsupportive that time are the reason why you became so motivated to pursue your investment so that you can prove to them later on that they’re wrong in their prediction. So instead of hating and turning your back to them, be thankful instead and never hesitate to still help him as they are still your family and friends.

You're lucky to have come from a country where such recorded short time successes aren't attributed to have come from crime or fraud. In my country, those friends of yours would even accuse you of indulging internet fraud because most of them are cynics who can't comprehend that one can make it big in crypto. I've a similar experience to yours.

would you help your discouraging friends if you are in my shoe?

Well, I would teach them but I would be charging them a fee for that since they rejected it the first time which I would've given it for free.

[moneystery]

I was once in your position, when I believed Bitcoin was a potential digital asset while others said that Bitcoin was a scam, but fortunately at that time my parents still supported me, even though they advised me not to spend too much money to invest in Bitcoin, but I think that's pretty good advice.

Finally, people who were skeptical of Bitcoin before are now asking me for advice, and I complied by recommending good exchanges and crypto learning websites. But unlike you, I don't give/lend them money, I don't think it's necessary because it's their problem not mine, first they never lend me money so why am I being too kind to them.

[Uruhara]

Someone will start to trust us when we show established success. but if we invite someone to follow us even though we haven't found success then it's normal if someone doubts us and even belittles us.

that's why I prefer not to talk too much. I prefer to do more and prove it myself. because if we are successful then people will follow us automatically without us having to invite them first.

and when someone asks for help or advice, it will be wiser if we continue to help and provide advice, but on condition that we are indeed able to help and provide advice that will not be misleading. if it's family or friends then we can help them even though they may have hurt our feelings but of course we don't want to hurt their feelings back. because we know how it feels like a pain that we feel when our heart hurts.

I agree with your opinion, I think maybe this is one of the right and good ways, and it doesn't seem to force someone to believe in Bitcoin but makes them believe and be aware of themselves because they see our success.
Because in my opinion, if we want to correct the misconceptions that have existed so far about the thoughts of people who still have a very negative view of Bitcoin and want to introduce Bitcoin to the wider community, we must first prove our success so that other people will be easily attracted and follow to adopt Bitcoin eventually.

and when someone asks for help or advice, it will be wiser if we continue to help and provide advice, but on condition that we are indeed able to help and provide advice that will not be misleading. if it's family or friends then we can help them even though they may have hurt our feelings but of course we don't want to hurt their feelings back. because we know how it feels like a pain that we feel when our heart hurts.

Yes you are right, as human beings we should help each other and always do good. Even if someone belittles us or doubts us, we shouldn't hold grudges against them. Because life will sometimes need each other.
Our life is sometimes not always in a good condition, it could be that one day we are in a bad condition and really need help, if we hold grudges and don't help someone who used to underestimate us, but it turns out that a good opportunity to help us is someone who used to belittle and doubt us.
If something like that happens, we will definitely regret our attitude and behavior towards that person.

[nakamura12]

That is a good idea to set your mindset into completing your goals or achieving your goals. If someone do the same way then maybe one day they can achieve it too. I seen plenty of newbies who post in this forum about merits and ranking up nowadays compared to doing something that will become or consideras contribution in the forum. If a person's mindset is to focus on earning merit then that person won't be able to get lots of merits that easily rather than learning more.

Everyone seems to have a goal and a target in life,but everyone cannot end up being thesame in terms of how successful they would be.I believe everyone has destiny,but the effort individual put towards making that destiny a reality is what makes the difference.Some persons are born with a silver spoon,while some were not born into a wealthy background, therefore,before they will get to a certain height,or before they can be financially stable,they must work so hard,and do everything possible to be at the top,knowing very well that they weren't born with a silver spoon.

I belong to that category,who must work so hard to get to the height I want,in order for my dreams to be materialised,I put a set target for my self every year,and try my possible best to meet that target.This is what I've been doing,and I am happy the little way I am now,and with my progress so far,I know the future has the best for me.

Have you also thought about a world where the last to laugh, laughs the best. Those birthed with a silver spoon most often don't outsmart a determined person who wants to succeed in an industry but was born in an average home. It all depends on the tool each person works with, hand, brain or the both. An idea can't be bought with money except the person who has the idea wants to share and sell the idea. Hence the focus is for both the rich and broke, though it could be harder for the broke person yet it's an open market. The person with the most focus and tactics would win in the industry and top the industry. We all have to come up with ideas that'll get us to the top and as well outsmart our competitors. No matter how long it took for the dream to be achieved what matters is that it'll come to be real, that's the joy of a determined person regardless of their background.

So many dreams have been quashed just because the dreamer decides to live to please their family and friends stead of chasing their dream and passion. The fear to lose our loved ones for a dream we are unsure of the outcome but how can we know if we don't chase it by all means and determination. If we live our live to please other people we would only be living their own designed life for us and such a life is no different from being dead. 

Imagine how OP would have missed such opportunity in 2019/2020  if he had listened to his family and friends discouragement. Today they would have turned back mocking him of not following his dreams seeing how bitcoin has gained value today compared to sometime 2019.

I don't know why and now they are asking for my help, I have to do it since they are my family, and even my friends are asking for help, would you help your discouraging friends if you are in my shoe? They were my friends, but not anymore, I believe friends should be supportive of each other, am I wrong

They are still family, at least you have proved them wrong by chasing your dream and achieving it in ways they never expected, so prove them more wrong again by rendering them the help they seek. But render it to the limit you can be able to, don't milk yourself as a way to impress them.

That’s also your decision. But for me, friends will always be friends especially if they have been supportive to you except on your bitcoin journey. So I’ll just help them instead, but I will make it clear to them that trading is never that easy to be productive. So if they can’t bear the risk and the future losses, then it’s better for them not to trade anymore.

[Youngkhngdiddy]

 Your story about how your families and friends discouraged when starting your journey in the crypto world is very touching, most people would always be less supportive when they're not gaining anything in return, so the best revenge to that is being successful and in return they'll feel the guilt of not being supportive or giving you listening when you were less successful.
 Therefore to attain success one have to focus on their goals, writing out a todo list of things you want to achive can be of great help as well.
 Another thing to do is keeping a positive minded circle people that would motivate you with positive energy not those that would talk down on you or mislead you with wrong advises, people that would help you understand that failure or loss in a business is not the end of success.

Interesting experience. Take big decisions even without the support of your family and you surrender because Only God knows what will happen if you never leave. I am very touched to hear that. Yes. You have proven it in BTC assets. For current conditions, if you or I are in an easy economic position, why not, to help each other, but with a note that it doesn't interfere with family expenses.

Focus on goals must be instilled in our mindset. And we also have to make our goals become a trigger to increase the level of motivation within us. So that we can be more consistent in going through each stage to achieve what we are aiming for. And within crypto I'm also just focusing on investing more in bitcoin right now. at least that's my goal for now. and I'm focused on it.

And the matter of Merit. So I think it's about the reciprocity of our own efforts. If we learn more, so that we have a lot of insight and we share it with everyone who needs that insight so that other people will feel helped by our contribution in sharing insights then well Merit will come to us by itself.

Almost everyone who is in bitcoin can improve their financial capabilities for the better, although not everyone puts themselves at financial wealth. Bitcoin's ability to play a financial role is sometimes difficult to believe by people who don't feel or are involved in it, so convincing others on an anonymous basis is difficult and will result in unpleasant things. Therefore, giving an understanding of our achievements in bitcoin sometimes often gets negative things that end in the breakdown of friendship and family relationships.

For example it is a loss for people who are involved in investing because we are the ones who encourage them to get involved, so most of them will blame us as the ones who introduced it. Even if you pay attention, they don't invest properly and correctly, so they get investment losses based on the wrong pattern. Make sure that when you intend to provide investment advice in bitcoin, they must also actively study the correct investment patterns and methods.
