I'll always tell people about bitcoin

[suzanne5223]

This days lot of bitcoiners are scared of introducing bitcoin to people because of they  do not want to be blame if the investment ends bad.

In most cases, I don't think that the main reason, I believe the main reason is the possibility of a physical attack or being a target because Bitcoin market is trending all over the world and physical theft are targetting Bictoincers.

Most people have lost good relationships with family and friends all because of introduction to financial investment with no profit and this made them to take a serious decision never to make any introduction about money to anybody again.

We have people are in this situation but what we need to introduce to people most is the risk of Bitcoin investment not the profit aspect of it because it blind some new investors about the market reality.

The reason why a lot of those introductions turned out badly in the end was because of the narrative they were introduced to: "If you buy Bitcoin, you'll be rich in no time" - While this is okay, it gives people the idea that Bitcoin is a get rich scheme and when it's no longer giving, say bear market kicks in, they turn away looking for the next big thing. As much as we make those introductions, we should talk about some of the intrinsic benefits that bitcoin provides. It's fascinating the kind of borderless transactions one could do these days. Very fascinating.

I think you are correct, the manner at which people introduce bitcoin to people it makes them feel if they invest their money in Bitcoin they will make profit so fast. I think if bitcoin is properly explained to people who don't  know about they will hold themselves responsible if at all the market seems difficult for them to have patience.  Those who normally panic when they discovered that the investment is not going the way like they thought had the mindset of just becoming rich in bitcoin and always imagine that the market will always be in favour to their own expectations. Introducing bitcoin to people is a good thing but should be done in a proper way  by giving a better explanation and understanding just as the market is.

Well for me I was actually showed the road or should say, I was helped by someone to actually clear my bad taught about bitcoin and ever since I have become interested in also helping people who also feels bad about bitcoin. Spreading the news about bitcoin isn't bad but the only issue is that the user explains the whole concept or the basic important ones like it's volatility so that' if the person who you are explaining things decides to buy bitcoin it will all on him as very man becomes relatively responsible for their investment and actions.

[Sim_card]

That is why you don't need to force or persuade anybody to learn bitcoin and when teaching them about it,you should tell them the pros and cons of bitcoin and not just the good side of bitcoin. It is when you tell someone that bitcoin is a get rich quick investment that the person will blame you. If you tell them that bitcoin can only give profit when you hodli for long, I don't see any reason why you should be blamed for the knowledge that you passed on to them. Teach only the people that shows interest on learning it and don't tell them to invest,just only the basic concept of bitcoin.

Because of the risk that is in bitcoin it won't stop me from telling people about bitcoin which will better their life if they found it interesting.

I see a little to no risk in Bitcoin if you are going to invest today. The price is too cheap for because I believe that price will going to hit $100k at the right time. If I basing on my technical analysis, in macro time frame the trend is uptrend. If we see a down move or dump, it's retracement or pullback. The only risk I see in investing in Bitcoin is that if you put your assets in the exchanges. My advice is that if you're going to invest in Bitcoin, you should keep it in the open-source and non-custodial wallet.

[harapan]

I must confess that I don't talk to people about Bitcoin unless the topic comes up. I don't go about preaching the gospel of Bitcoin. I don't believe that's the way to go.
It's okay if you do, but you should have the right knowledge before you introduce people to. They shouldn't see it as a way to make money and not bother making further research because they're so eager to invest and make money.
If a person comes to me and ask then I'll gladly educate. Everyone out there is looking for a way to make money and half of those people might see Bitcoin as a way to get rich ASAP while the other half may think it's a scam.

Whether the price is cheap or not we need to understand that investing in Bitcoin has some level of risks that we need to know or else, we might blindly invest in Bitcoin and end up losing because we don't have good knowledge about what Bitcoin is and what it does or capable of doing.

The market is very volatile and that pose a level of risk to those who do not know the next step to take especially when they keep making loses in the market. If we are swift and have good understanding of the market, even though we are making loses, we can still be patient enough that will make us to take a good decision as an investor.

Best of luck man.
Hoping that the people you introduce to bitcoin get the reality of what it is and not accept with the expectation that their life's problem will end as a result of investing in bitcoin. Bitcoin is for everyone. I don't know how you introduce them to bitcoin but you should go more than talking to them about it orally and finding out how each of them that shows interest would like to know about bitcoin. When you do, get them the resources that will help them understand the fundamentals quickly.

don't worry and calm down no one will try to stop what you want to do except yourself.
i salute your intention, in my opinion introducing and teaching those closest to me is good and it is very time-consuming, let alone introducing and teaching the wider community.
but keep in mind if you want to introduce and invite the wider community to invest in Bitcoin you should have a mature and sustainable preparation and plan to explain and invite them. don't think that only with talk and then people will just believe it, because you will be faced with people who might be interested in Bitcoin and maybe even people who are against Bitcoin.
apart from what you say which must look convincing, people sometimes also need evidence and guarantees. maybe if you can prepare all that then maybe you will succeed with your plan, good luck.

Along with the fear of being blamed, many people do not want to share bitcoins with others for privacy reasons, they do not like being harassed or prying into their private lives. Moreover, there are still some countries that ban bitcoin so many people won't want to share it with others because they don't want to get in trouble with the government.

Sharing bitcoins with people around is a good thing because it is also the best way to make bitcoin popular, but everything has its pros and cons.
If you are not afraid of others blaming you, not scared of losing your privacy, then you are doing the right thing in the spirit of a bitcoin investor.

Oftentimes the truth is in between the parties: some people are too enthusiastic about bitcoin so they ended up talking about it like it's the solution to all the world's problems; on the other side we have people who know zero about the financial system and bitcoin so they expect to make tens of thousands of dollars in a few weeks/months and can't accept the fact that there could be a bear market... The best decision is just to introduce them to bitcoin, explain a little, and them they're supposed to learn and decide whether investing or not.

Personally, I am also a person who often introduces this market to friends and relatives, but what I learned in the process is that it is suitable for the audience, not everyone is ready to receive something new. Not only with this market or bitcoin but looking at many other things in life as well, lack of beginning is a major barrier followed by wary skepticism about things that are inherently not good because of ignorance, and a loop.

Similar to the chicken hatching from the egg, I've found that when people can afford it, they'll find new things on their own (maybe a bitcoin opportunity) so sometimes just let them experience it, and when it is possible that the eggshell is removed, those people will have to adapt to something newer. After that, I found it better that those who went before had experience or built a clean space for the newcomers to have a less negative and more positive view.

[michellee]

It's okay if you introduce people to Bitcoin because you see the upside people can get if they want to use it. That's good because at least you've tried to introduce Bitcoin to them and it's up to them to want to use it or not.

The important thing is that you don't force them to follow your advice because each person has their interests. Maybe they don't want to follow your advice, but a few months later, they will come to you asking for more explanation about Bitcoin. So you also don't need to expect too much from them and always focus on yourself.

So keep up the good work and hopefully, more people will become interested in Bitcoin and follow your advice. And don't forget to accumulate more Bitcoin than just introducing Bitcoin to them. Leave the decision to them. We just introduced Bitcoin to them.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I respect the OP's decision but I prefer not to advertise bitcoin, firstly because I think it is good enough in itself to be adopted more and more in the long term without me actively trying to convince people and secondly for security reasons. I prefer people not to know that I have bitcoin, because you never know who might find out and try to rob you. Every cycle bitcoin is being used more and more and is even being bought by institutions, it doesn't need word of mouth, in my opinion.

[adaseb]

I used to talk about Bitcoin back in 2015 or so. And most people assumed it was a scam and never got involved in it. In 2019 most of my friends assumed Bitcoin was long dead.

Then the bull market came and everything changed. They kept asking how to buy it, how to buy NFTs, how to trade on defi, about alt coins and everything.

So it’s funny that when Bitcoin was down everybody assumed it was a scam and didn’t buy. They bought during the hype at the top pretty much.

[mk4]

If they do their research and they do not trade but hold at the right time, they will be forever happy that they know about bitcoin investment. All-time-high is promising.

Huge emphasis on if. If everyone simply did that then all these people wouldn't have got burned in the past bull-bear cycles. But alas, most people are simply not fit for investing.

[Kakmakr]

I have learnt from previous experience, not to initiate the conversation about Bitcoin.. with family and friends. They will come to you, when they are serious and ready to buy Bitcoin.

They know that I am knowledgeable in all things Bitcoin... and they see me as the "go to" person for Bitcoin and Crypto currency matters. You do not have to force Bitcoin on to people... because they will blame you, if something goes wrong... let them come to you, so that they will blame themselves if it turns out bad for them. (Just help them not to buy into Ponzi schemes and scams)

I also believe in bitcoin's future upside potential but please don't say that investing in bitcoin is risk-free. The higher the return, the higher the risk, they are always proportional, so never make misleading statements to others when you have no proof for what you say. If you can look at the chart and see that the market is going up, remember that you are not the only one seeing it. And if the market were so predictable, there wouldn't be so many losers. Investing in bitcoin has helped many people change their lives in a positive way, but it also made many people lose their money and fall into a dead end. This is a financial market, where there are winners and losers, there is no such thing as a win-win game.

[Stella Mese]

telling people about bitcoin is of course fine as long as you explain to them the benefits of investing in bitcoin and the risks of investing in bitcoin and I think it would be even better if those who are interested in investing in btc are invited by you to join this forum so they can learn about btc in this forum. because I also feel the benefits of joining this forum, my btc investment runs smoothly and well.

They see risk in Bitcoin and did not invest in Bitcoin years ago when Bitcoin was like a newborn and vulnerable to death. Now when they feel regret about their missing chances, they look for other opportunities. What do they find? Altcoins are their destinations but they see high chances with them and unfortunately ignore high risk with them.

At the end, they lost with altcoins and still miss Bitcoin and their missing chances in past years.

Huge emphasis on if. If everyone simply did that then all these people wouldn't have got burned in the past bull-bear cycles. But alas, most people are simply not fit for investing.

If everyone can be an intelligent investor and succeed with their investment, who will pay them money for profit?

The market is zero sum game so money will change from losers to winners. If we all are winners, is it realistic? There must be losers who pay the cost, the profit for winners.
