How do you cope with those around you not believing in you for choosing Bitcoin?

[Woodie]

I get people that are always against Bitcoin and telling these guys am over 10 years in this whole crypto thing blows their minds as they think this is for social media scammers and hackers , but you know what I leave it at that as everyone has their opinions and will respect theirs especially that they talk from a non researched point of view and mostly these guys never back down from such arguments/debates.
But all I ask them to do is try to do their own research and once they go through this then we shall have a conversation & not from a heresy perspective!

[albon]

Pretty much self explanatory.  How do you do it?
Here is my way.  I mostly pushed away and pulled out of relationships with people who seem to stand against my beliefs.  Instead of convincing them I just moved on.  I found that a lot of those who do not believe in my choice of investment and think I will fail are the same people who never listen. 

This is the case with negative people who, even since the launch of Bitcoin, accused it of being a scam and false investment, blah blah blah,  when its prices were attractive, and it was a rare investment opportunity, which, if they had exploited it, they would have remained wealthy now. I consider these relationships toxic, and people who spread their discouragement and accuse everyone who invests in Bitcoin of failure. They are mostly ignorant and have not bothered to conduct thorough research. For example, What is the highest historical price of Bitcoin (ATH), and how does its current price compare to its price decades ago? How many investors and traders are there in Bitcoin up to now? What is its market cap? How many companies and major institutions have adopted it as a payment method? Among the world's wealthy, who has invested in it? There are many questions. If these people knew the answers, they would avoid these negative and frustrating thoughts that they give to those around them.

It is also advisable, as OP mentioned, not to disclose your investments to anyone, especially to ignorant someones with limited knowledge in this field or the amount of capital you have invested. Always benefit from positive events and news related to Bitcoin and from people who have been involved in this field for decades and have a strong knowledge and vision. They are the ones who will propel you forward without hindering your enthusiasm and ideas.

What people think about bitcoin shouldn't bother you because their opinion does not matter. When it comes to benefit in bitcoin it is personal.  You shouldn't be bothered when people do not understand bitcoin because it is not their fault but ignorance,  if People really understand bitcoin I don't think they will feel or think as a wasted effort to get bitcoin.

I think it is a privilege for you to understand bitcoin, with this it is left for for people to care about bitcoin or not but what your focus is to get good benefit from Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is not my life, so I just ignore the stance of people who do not believe in Bitcoin but not the people.  People can go along even with different ideology, what it needs is respect.

I believe this is a healthy way of handling your environment.  Keep negativity outside your bubble.  Only keep close to you people who give you the ambition and optimism to continue.  Not sure how many of you believe in this.  But manifesting negativity has always brought negative outcome in my life.  Surrounding myself by positive thoughts and positive people has brought a strong source of light all the time.

Negativity will be gone if we respect each other.  Bitcoin belief is only one of the many ideas we have so ignoring people and keeping away with them because they don't believe in Bitcoins is way overboard. Bitcoin should not occupy the entirety of our life decision.  We might be missing something if we keep on ignoring and pushing away people because they do not believe in Bitcoin.

You don't have to stay with people who don't actually understand your stands and beliefs in life. Instead, be with people who will nurture you and help you to achieve your goals in life. While bitcoin investment can be a lot promising for those who actually know and understand its potentials, but for people who are actually at the opposition, convincing them to take on your side is not your obligation and will not really work in the long. So just learn to live without them, focus on your bitcoin investment because that will bring you success that you have been waiting for. Be with people who can give you tips and advices on bitcoin, and stay with people and who can actually celebrate with you when your investment has already paid off.

[terrific]

You are doing it rightly. If people keeps on disagreeing with what you believe to be right investing on Bitcoin, don't waste your energy on them and that's a good riddance you keep away from them.
I am done with that situation and let them what they want to do and I'll do what I'm believing is the best investing technique and that's to be on Bitcoin.
Just go along with people that has the same interest as you and you'll talk for hours and won't even notice the time.

I guess that's the best approach. By giving respect, you would also receive respect for your own idea when it comes to Bitcoin. Instead of having a discussion, probably other people won't listen to your explanation, you both just wasted your time.

Exactly. Keeping away the people just because they have different points of view on Bitcoin is not a good approach. Let the other people think everything they want when it comes to Bitcoin. Someday they might get curious and ask for your advice or the idea for choosing Bitcoin.

Re: How do you cope with those around you not believing in you for choosing Bitcoin?

I do nothing.

I guess this is the good thing when you're not sharing any of your investment to anybody especially to your relatives. They might know that I'm into Bitcoin, but they don't know how much I invested on, and I guess there's no reason for them to know. I don't know their reaction if they will just ignore it or what, but if they will be a hindrance to my investment journey, I will not think twice, but to just ignore them, or will not speak to them at all, but before doing that, I will try and educate them as long as they are interested into it. I remember one of my relatives asked regarding Bitcoin. Did ask a few questions, answered it correctly, and I don't know if he invested on it or not, but I'm happy to guide him if needed.

Like you said, negativity must be removed if you want to be a successful one.

They mostly are and will never listen to a thing you say but remember that they'll be there when they learn that the market has been so bullish and they'll even ask you again just for the sake of profit. That's a cycle based on my experience but I never spend any time on those people that are only interested when they see the market is up so, they do their own research. And that's how I moved on.

Know it alls who rather put you down and disregard your feelings with no logical reasoning.  Sometimes it feels like they envy you or some thing.

Most likely they envy us because they see that we're benefiting on this market and we know more than them. There are people that don't want to be overcome by another person they know based on their achievements and what they do. These are the a-hole people that never stops doing things on their favor but they hurt people, these are the people that we should pity.

It is healthy to shoo away these people because they're not going to contribute to your happy days. Never look back at them even if you become successful with Bitcoin investing. Like for me, they're wholly crossed on my list.

there's nothing you can do to people who are closing their minds to this market. if i happen to encounter a person who is against this market, i will not mention about myself being in this market. will just let him talk and hear what he has to say. you don't need to contradict them or whatsoever. because believe it or not, sooner or later, they will change their stance once they educate themselves about this market. most of the time, ignorance is the reason why a lot of people are against on something, not only in crypto.

[hatshepsut93]

I never got into a situation like that, because I don't talk about Bitcoin with people I know irl, but even if they were dismissive of Bitcoin, it wouldn't affect my relationship with them. People are free to have their opinions, and disagreement about Bitcoin is not something I would end a frendship over. Bitcoin not a fundamental part of my personality, it's not a part of my moral principles, so I don't care if someone is against Bitcoin.

I don't blame them to some extent when they hate on bitcoin, it's the standard society has placed on bitcoin and that's why it's so difficult to convince some people that they need bitcoin. The facts are there to check and they can see that's but they will believe what others think is the best for them especially when the government is in support of hating but will not do their own research, they will remain slavery like how fiat was force down on every one since the 80s and the 90s.

In Nigeria today, our government has already blacklist bitcoin as a no go area and has warn his citizens countless time not to invest but some keep coming back. Now that many of them don't fully understood bitcoin and that is the best place they can start, they will instead go for altcoins that will send them back to the poverty they are trying to avoid and when their investments doesn't work, they will say bitcoin is a scam. Why not say your altcoin is a scam, they just have to generalized everything which is bad.

Irrespective what people think about bitcoin and their believe, my remain valid and I don't care what others think of it, the fastest means for me as an investment is bitcoin and I strongly like it.

[GideonGono]

I just ignore them, either they believe me or not shouldn't affect it.
For me as long as you are doing what you want and it makes you happy and you got some people who supports you that is all that matters.
Funny how there are times that stranger would support or believe on you and those who are close or your relatives wouldn't even care about it.
I think some small business owner's had experience it, most of their supporters or buyers are people who they didn't really know.

How do you cope with those around you not believing in you for choosing Bitcoin?

I have never cared about what other people think about what I am doing because they are not people who care or worry about my life. I'm the one in charge of my life so I have no reason to worry about what they think of me or if they say bad things about me. For me, I like to talk by results rather than explaining and bad-mouthing each other. My economics have been far superior to theirs since I invested in bitcoin, so why should I listen to what they say? They are just jealous of my success.

[kro55]

There are a lot of people around me who don't invest in bitcoin and they don't believe in bitcoin but they have never felt upset with me just because I am a bitcoin investor. I think as long as we respect each other, we respect their work, and vice versa then we can happily live in harmony with each other. We should not bring up any issue for discussion in any conversation if we are not on the same page about it, not just bitcoin. What's more important is how we treat each other, just because we don't do the same job, or don't invest in the bitcoin, doesn't mean we can't be friends.

We don't need to think about what other people think about what we do, you are right, we will be responsible for what we have done and we don't have to worry about what other people think about us. I agree with you, it would be better for us to talk according to the results we get compared to arguing with people who blame what we have done, but in my opinion those who blame investment in Bitcoin of course they don't understand Bitcoin well and they can't get it. profit from investing in Bitcoin and we have been able to make a profit from investing in Bitcoin and can also make a profit from the investment we make, so we don't need to think about what they say about what they don't understand well.

[bittraffic]

It would be funny to see themselves in the future when BTC becomes the legal tender in your country and they still will not admit you are right about investing in BTC.
They will not say you are right about it and will find faults in BTC instead of using it. So they will find fiat still despite the advantageous profit of buying BTC.

I would probably want to show them my kindness and give them some discount if they need to buy BTC. Yep only kindness matters.

I understand not everyone knows loads of stuff around the globe and many others still believe in the conventional stuff and are not open to whatever comes as new to any space.

I clearly understand the difference in perspectives also but I expect people to keep an open heart to newer technologies to help process things better and faster but negativity shouldn't be in the picture.

[coinremitter]

It's important to find a coping mechanism when those around you don't believe in your choice of Bitcoin investment. I understand your perspective, and it's crucial to prioritize your own well-being. It's true that engaging with people who constantly doubt your choices can be draining. Some individuals may not be open to new ideas or have a negative mindset.

Your approach of distancing yourself from such negativity is a valid one. Surrounding yourself with positive and supportive individuals who share your ambitions and optimism can indeed be beneficial. Negative energy can impact your mindset and outcomes, so maintaining a positive environment is a wise strategy.

Remember that each person's journey with Bitcoin or any investment is unique, and it's essential to make choices that align with your beliefs and goals. Ultimately, the decision to invest in Bitcoin should be based on your research, risk tolerance, and long-term financial objectives. Staying true to your convictions and cultivating a supportive network can help you navigate the challenges that come with non-believers in your circle.

Pretty much self explanatory.  How do you do it?

I listen to their reasons and I decide to whether ignore them or not, some people do have valid concerns and understand why they say what they say but some are just blatant haters and they even say their opinions very condescendingly. I'm a petty person and like keeping blatant haters around, it gives me joy to see their reaction when I ignore what they have to say about my decisions to where I invest my money.
