A neighbor next door

[synchronym]

If you are aware that your neighbor living next door is into drug dealing and he come seek your advice how to buy Bitcoin, will you teach him?

What comes straight to mind is embezzling the ill-gotten money, but is this even safe? My other neighbor knows I am into Bitcoin and he learned from me, I guess that's how this other neighbor knew, I told him to go meet the next neighbor but he said he is not ready to teach.

What will you do if something like this is happening around you? Why would a drug dealer want to learn Bitcoin if not for a safer haven for running the business?

My mind isn't settled as I keep thinking different things, what is on your mind readers?

op said his neighbor is a drug dealer expressing interest in investing in bitcoins since he is a drug dealer you have to handle your neighbor very carefully. You can tell him that you are not doing it anymore or you can walk away from him saying that Bitcoin is bad. Or if he doesn't understand that, you can tell him to search YouTube and find out more about Bitcoin. Then if you feel like investing in Bitcoin then you can. Because if that drug dealer is somehow caught by the police then he can say that I am not dealing in drugs now I am involved in bitcoin now since bitcoin is not legal in our country you may face problems so my personal opinion is better not to teach him bitcoin.

Life has no duplicate for a drugs person comes to meet you to learn how to Bitcoin investors or business, as for me, I take him out from the house, and have an appointment to somewhere else that's safe, then para shift his brain by telling him Bitcoin is not get rich quick business, but is getting Rich is sure, just a matter of time and patience, by also show him past history of Bitcoin trading history, with that, you we also let him know that you don't have money, and you are also looking for money to invest, since I have the knowledge, but since he has the base on him, you can show and guide him how Bitcoin works, finally do not disclose your wallet to him, because of your safety.

What will you do if something like this is happening around you? Why would a drug dealer want to learn Bitcoin if not for a safer haven for running the business?

If you believe that by teaching him how to use bitcoin, it will help him overcome his busniess and start a new life as a better person, then sure but if you fear that he might use it to improve his drug dealing business, I would advise against it.  I mean It won't be that good to just use bitcoin for a way of payment of selling drugs, you just think what's the best for you and for him i guess:)

If the OP knew what his neighbor's real goal in learning bitcoin was, he wouldn't hesitate and come up here to ask our opinion. I think what he's afraid of is that his neighbor is using bitcoins for their illegal work and that will affect OP's safety if his neighbor gets caught. The OP is in a dilemma because he doesn't want to offend his neighbors, nor does he want to lose his own safety. But in my opinion, to avoid the risks, OP should refuse rather than teach him bitcoin.

Criminals will not be stupid enough to hide drugs in the house or carry them with them at all times, so if OP doesn't have any proof and calling the police won't help either. I really find this solution unsafe at all unless OP has concrete evidence and is sure that the other drug dealer will be caught as soon as OP calls the police. Otherwise, the OP will be in jeopardy with his actions. I will agree with your 2nd solution, OP should ignore it entirely and continue living a normal life as before.

I think it would be the case if you are talking about smart criminals, the ones at the top, but if we are talking about the drug problem all around the world, most of the people at the very bottom do not have that much smarts. They are not smart and hence why they are at the very bottom of  the drug chain, they are the type of people who deal to make more money to get more drugs, they are the people who you see passing out on the streets from overdosing and all.

This means that seeing a lot of people who would be able to just hide it somewhere in their house is the biggest trouble and should be considered as a big deal. I know that it is going to be a problem one way or another, so it would be best to avoid this situation as long as possible.

First of all don't write off anybody when it comes to learning no matter how you see that person.
Your neighbor who's a drug dealer and wants to learn about Bitcoin from YOU and not the other guy you taught, is something you have to prepare your mind to do, I mean what's there? Like what do you expect when you are done teaching someone something good won't that person telling another?

He might be a drug dealer but can you tell if after teaching him all about Bitcoin that he might stop going into drugs? You can be a life changer at this point, drug dealers make so much money like you asked "Why would a drug dealer want to learn Bitcoin? " who knows if he wants to stop the illegal way of making money. Well if I'm to be you OP I'd go ahead and teach him all I know about Bitcoin.

Definitely, everyone should have the chance to learn, but we need to be careful here. Lets consider: We dont know if this person wants to stop committing crimes or just discover other ways to generate money illegally. Each situation has different outcomes.

Im not saying he shouldnt learn about Bitcoin, but he should determine out his goals first. Is he serious about starting a cryptocurrency business? Do people think differently? You should teach if you answered yes to these questions. Life changes with education.

Information, like any instrument, can be utilized for good or evil.

This is a very excellent question that reveals all the problems of cryptocurrency anonymity to an outside ignorant observer, just like the state. We use cryptocurrencies only for good purposes, but there are also those for whom bitcoin is not a means that can change the world, but simply an anonymous payment tool. Such people don't care how it works. They don't call cryptocurrencies digital gold, they only care about practicality. It is because of them that there is regulation.

So my answer is no. I wouldn't teach him cryptocurrencies.

I wouldn't explain/teach nothing if you are 100% sure that your neighbor is a drug dealer. It's not a nice situation because 1) it looks like he already knows you know about bitcoin 2) you don't have the best neighbor. I would simply say that you lost interest in bitcoin time ago and you don't have it/use it anymore. But in the first place why would you even tell your neighbor about you and bitcoin? I would never do something like that, you never know who people actually are.

Just simply ignore and reject out such request and no one could force you if this is against your principle knowing that someone is really that having those illegal doings on which it is really just that right that he
shouldn't really be knowing about Bitcoin because you would really be that telling him about on how to avoid on not getting caught on which means that you are really that helping someone not only via means of anonymous payments but you are worsening out that drug addiction due to that kind of decisions if ever you would tend to help him.

If its against your principle then you could just simply reject out and tell something that wont offend him.I know the hesitance on trying out to deny or rejecting him knowing that you are dealing with someone
who does have connections and having that addiction towards drugs on which you would really be mainly be thinking for your safety too on which i do understand on how you do feel on the time
that you are on such situation on which you would really be boggling your mind whether you would be teaching him or would reject him out because its against your principles in life
but at the same time you are minding about your safety. So this would really be a tough personal choice to make.

I was also wondering the same thing. How did his other neighbor knew about his knowledge about bitcoin? I understand if it is a close friend or family and OP just mentioned it a few times. Also, you should talk to the other neighbor who might have mentioned to your possibly drug dealer neighbor your knowledge about bitcoin. It is not fine that they are just spreading that information without your knowledge and consent.

I completely agree about taxing millionaires, which will later go to medical institutions, landscaping poor areas and all kinds of support for the population who are not able to take care of themselves. But if you dig deeper, there is a problem with this. You see, if the luxury tax increases, then billionaires can easily renounce the citizenship of the country where they live, but at the same time stay in place. And take another citizenship, for example, UAE or Turkish. And then the American treasury will not receive a lot of money. I think that's why they need a luxury tax.

It has already spread, so he can't now control it. That is why it is better to keep it secret, or probably not share it on social media as others have done in the past, flexing their folio. No matter how some of your neighbors spread it, you shouldn't tell your neighbors about Bitcoin. Right now, what's best to do is tell that neighbor that you're speculating about dealing drugs and that you're already not into Bitcoin. Just try to evade him no matter what, just to be safe.

Quite true but to me is best to just do the needful which is to teach that individual who wants to learn. It can only work smoothly if we can read the thought of the next person to know what he's thinking or planning to do next but that's not possible. There's nothing bad in teaching the drug dealer guy, not that if he uses it to do something illegal is your fault, all you did is showing him the best way to make money without being chased around by the cops. He might even change his mind depending on how you use your words, can get into his skin to convince him about the drugs thing

Im not saying he shouldnt learn about Bitcoin, but he should determine out his goals first. Is he serious about starting a cryptocurrency business? Do people think differently? You should teach if you answered yes to these questions. Life changes with education.

Information, like any instrument, can be utilized for good or evil.

He can say yes he'll change or not to use it for evil act but those are just words, after saying that he might go and do something different from what he said, so is not that easy to say something and abide by it. And at the same time he can be on the drug business and also on cryptocurrence business too, so we can point out his intentions.
