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

[Jegileman]

Is there suppose to be an explanatory on my choice of life when I own it myself. This is even financial choice we are talking about, no one has the right to say, do or disregard my choice of financial implications if I have decided to follow one. This is not something one should be bothered about, this is a free world and so I expect everyone to maintain its side and ride on their own path on what they think is I’ll benefit them and I will also do the same.

Staying away from people because they disregard my choice of financial course is now an ideal idea to me because we can still find a way to brainstorm in some other things that can enhance and keep the relationship stronger. My choice of financial course is just one part of my life that I want to take, so that shouldn’t affect our relationship since I’m not using their money to invest in bitcoin.

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.  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.

I owe no one any explanation or convincing, and most times I even find it difficult to disclose what I do to people who are around me. This has been the best way for me to keep everyone where they belong and protect myself from unnecessary explanations and arguments from those who are against bitcoin.
 
We know who is against bitcoin just by the way they talk about the currency, and telling them this is what you do in the first place is a complete waste of time, and this can get you into their watch list to see how far you can go in life with what you do, as they will be watching you closely most times.

They can be the evil you are seeing with your own eyes and not the ones you know nothing about. For them, just to make sure that you don't succeed doing what they believe doesn't have a future, they can go the extra mile to make sure you don't succeed just as they predicted.
 
And if the bitcoin price drops for any reason, or if there is a personal attack from higher authorities, this group of people will come to your door while you are busy calculating how to avoid losing money; they will come to mock you and look at what's happening to your money.

Ignoring is the best choice in this case. Because those who do not believe are the people who do not know everything about Bitcoin. They know a very few but they have heard from rumors or news saying Bitcoin is bad. Those news solely focus on Bitcoin being bad and spread from the government. You can only argue with people or come to a logical point when they know what it actually is. Without knowing enough, they cannot come to a logical term.

I do not only ignore rather I hide it from people around me. You see, I live in a country where between is banned and if I tell you to people around me, I might get into trouble. Those who believe in Bitcoin, they will be successful at some point for sure and those who do not will only regret ignoring Bitcoin. It's a personal choice, actually. Let them do whatever they do and keep on doing what you are doing. Your success or loss won't have any effect on them and them accepting Bitcoin won't have any affect on you. Just ignore it.

Pretty much self explanatory.  How do you do it?

Dealing with people who give you crap about investing in Bitcoin can be annoying.  But don't let their doubts bring you down! You did your research and believe in crypto, so that's what matters.  The crypto world will always have naysayers.  Just be patient with the haters and keep on truckin' with your Bitcoin adventures and  your success will shut them up eventually.  Its your money, your investment, your call.  Trust your gut and don't let the noise get to you.  People can hate on Bitcoin all they want, but you know you made the right call for you.

I have experienced this myself, sometimes in my extended family environment it is also better never to mention what I do regarding investments and the like, I would rather talk about basic things related to work or other discussions. I will only talk about Bitcoin, crypto and blockchain to someone who knows and understands / is interested in these things.

Sometimes dealing with jealous people is very troublesome, I would rather close myself off and limit my interactions or friendships with people like that. It's true that many friends are good, but not all friends are in line and good to us too. Choosing and building enough relationships with friends who can really support each other is of higher quality.

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.

The answer you gave yourself is good enough. We all encounter people who question our choices at some point in our lives. Some we push away, others we prefer to keep silent because they are people we love. Others warn us and urge us to be careful because they don't understand Bitcoin and are worried about us. So there are many people around us and their behavior is different.

I don't respond to the negative perspectives of the people around us because we chose Bitcoin. When Bitcoin reaches our target values and is recognized by the whole world, we will have already responded to them. For some people, there is no need to explain and tire ourselves.

I don't think I owe an explanation to them, and have to manage their opposition on my own decision to invest in bitcoin. My money, my rules. They don't have to deal with it and me either when it comes to their business. If they do, then I have no choice but to disregard their existence and just pretend that people like them will never help me anyway. This is way better than to please them and still treat them that whatever their words  or say about my own choice will still matter. After all,  we can't control what others believe.  If they stick to their own belief, then let it be as I have to focus on my own choice and work on it until it comes to prove that it's worth the risk and the results are very life changing.

Fully grasping Bitcoin is an individual journey. Those who are against it may not have even begun their journey. Those who see it as just an investmen in fiat terms like a stock still have some ways to go. Everyone will get there with enough time. Provide information if asked for otherwise leave them to their choices. Never ever try to push Bitcoin on someone who's not yet able to see it. I would never cut someone out of my life just because they don't view things the same or believe in the same things I do, that sounds like a very polarizing and toxic way to deal with it.

[OgNasty]

I’ve been involved in Bitcoin for more than a dozen years now and I still have friends who make fun of me for it. I just roll with the punches. There’s no need to try and convince people of anything or show them the positive outcomes of your efforts. Let people not believe in you if they want to. It’s wasted effort to try and convince people of anything.

[BenCodie]

Pretty much self explanatory.  How do you do it?

Try inform. If not possible, let it go. At the end of the day, it's their loss and not mine. I'm more than happy to help people find wealth, and uphold my responsibility of trying to inform them, but there is no need for me to put up with constant objection.

I don't think difference in opinion should determine your friendships. If the basis of your friendships is whether or not they believe in Bitcoin, you might lose some friends that otherwise may have been good ones. Or losing long term friends for a silly reason.

Avoiding negativity I can agree with.  Just like religion, we should not judge based on belief/disbelief in Bitcoin.

You don't needd to convince anyone.

What would you think if someone is trying to convince you to buy some stock?
A friend could be telling you that buying tesla is amazing, that it is revolutionary and so on... and lots of people made money and so on. But you don't care.
It is just annoying

Let people do whatever they wish with their money. It is their business,  not yours.

It is not about convincing some body that Bitcoin is the Investment of The Year.  It is the opposite actually.  Rather a relative coming to me and trying to convince me out of Bitcoin instead.  Hearing about Bitcoin turning to failure every now and then from the people closer to me.

Sometimes it is demoralizing.  You have a bad day, Bitcoin drops by 30 percent and a relative comes to you reminding you of the choice you made.  You know it was not a bad choice because Bitcoin will most probably recover.  But repeatedly hearing this will sometimes make you think they could actually have a point.

I read stories here before of Bitcoin Talk users who have been arguing for years with their family because of this.  They are invested in Bitcoin.  Their family tries very hard to get them out of it.  Many see Bitcoin as 'Evil', as sin, Ponzi, gambling, scam or what ever else.  That is something you have to cope with once they start fighting for their belief instead of letting you follow your own route.

Should have worded my original post differently.  I mostly pushed away and pulled out of relationships with people who seem to FIGHT against my beliefs.

[Ever-young]

That can actually be a very difficult situation to be, but I really do not see it as having much of a choice than just "Minding My Business" I mean that's actually what it is, MY BUSINESS. if it's not working for me then I wouldn't be doing it at all, so the only reason I chose Bitcoin as my choice of investment is simply because it's working for me, and if someone else or people around me do not see it the same way I see it or fail to see the vision I see then I see no reason why I should worry myself about that.

Although I did have a friend who hated anything that had to do with making money online, he believed in manual labor and getting paid physical cash, back then he didn't even have a bank account. I don't know why I kept trying my best to make this friend of mine change his concept about life.

Although he has repeatedly told me that he would never indulge in any form of online businesses because he believed they are all a scam. I don't know the reason I tried to make him change his mind, if it was because I was a true believer and Evangelist of Bitcoin or if I just saw it like it was my responsibility to make him change his primitive mindset about earning money.

But despite his refusal or negative vibes, It didn't really change my mind about what I was doing because I so much believed in it, rather it made me more enthusiastic about making him also see the vision.

This wasn't really applicable to everyone around me who didn't believe in Bitcoin or had contrary opinions about it, it was just that one friend of mine.

[Franctoshi]

It is a normal thing not everyone will believe you until they see results or see your life get transformed, Therefore based on my new model of life that I live now I don't force anyone to believe in me or believe the idea of Bitcoin, So I don't give a fuck about those around me believe me or not rather I believe in my and the idea of Bitcoin.
They will watch and see until I get fully transformed with my investment in Bitcoin and that alone will speak for me.

[Assface16678]

Well, first of all, they don't know I do bitcoin stuff, like I don't brag or mention it anyway unless they ask me personally about bitcoin directly, but for other people around me, they don't know about what I do because I don't post on social media or share my achievements in bitcoin, because what's the point? If I know that there are people out there who will question why I do bitcoin and stuff,


Also, I don't want to explain to anyone who gets interested in bitcoin just because they see me earning from it; it is an annoying thing, so I'd rather stay quiet and do my things. If, for instance, they know I do bitcoin or crypto stuff and I receive feedback about why I do these things, then I don't give a single care about their opinion or feedback; I do my own thing and do their own things. That's it.

[hugeblack]

Sometimes in our lives we need to hear a negative voice or a voice that is different from the way we think. The brain loves to analyze data and loves to face challenges. Therefore, if your psychological situation is stable, try to diversify your circle of friends and always choose from friends who already have investments and not those who invest with their mouths, even if they are different. With you or they see that you are investing in something worthless, you can prove to them that you are the best.
I see you've been gone for a while, I hope you're okay now.

[Kasabus]

I just do the right thing for me and ignore them since they're not part of my present and future with bitcoin. The fact that they don't believe on my investment choice then I don't have to believe on them either. That's simple, let them live with their own beliefs and I have to live on my own. I should not feel affected from the negativity they show to me, because if I do that, it's like I'm letting them control the outcome of my life's decisions.

Bitcoin is my passion and my future, so I need to work and grow my investment whatever it takes. Let the other people criticize my choice of investment, and for me that never matters at all. I live to pursue my life's goals, and for me that should be my priority and should focus on achieving on it.

[salad daging]

I don't care when they don't believe that I choose bitcoin as an investment, I have never even experienced being put down by others just because they are different in investment it is common when they know I am in the bitcoin circle they just know enough and never ask for more details or have any debate because maybe they think they are not in line.

But fortunately I am still in an environment of a lot of positive support including from family who have no opposition whatsoever because it is clear enough what I have told them and now understand and take them in the same direction even though it is not coercion.

So I will not take it more seriously and it is better to ignore those who talk negatively about bitcoin including cornering me, it is useless that it will become a dispute and resentment when I have achieved success with bitcoin.

Doesnt really need to cope up because if i do introduce Bitcoin into someone but they didnt tend to listen out then hell i do care. I would just simply walk back and move on yet its not my loss but theirs.
They've been able to miss out the opportunity on which they could potentially changed up their lives if they do make out the right decision but well its not shocking not all people would
really be that optimistic when it comes to things. There would really be those people who are skeptical whenever they do heard off something new.

They wont really be that able to learn unless if they would really be showing interest. It is really just that there are people who are close minded and doesnt care
about those opportunities  that it is already within their reach. This is a typical behavior but to those who do took the risks on learning it are the ones
who would really benefit out later on. It is really just that there are ones who are risk takers and there are ones who are just close minded ones.

I do not really cope with it, if there are people out there that do not agree with my decision to adopt bitcoin they can think whatever they want, but at the end the only one that has any say about how I use my money is myself and no one else, besides it will be very easy to see who was right as if I am mistaken then I will lose everything I invested in this market, but if I am right then I will obtain way more than that and they will be the ones regretting not taking advantage of such a good opportunity that was right in front of them.

[Marvelman]

That is something you have to cope with once they start fighting for their belief instead of letting you follow your own route.

I don't think you really have to. As an adult, it's ultimately up to you what you do with your money.  If others don't agree with how you spend your money, well, thats on them! They can think what they want.  

The bottom line is, don't let anyone else make you feel bad about your financial choices.  Stay true to yourself and your beliefs and  as long as you're making responsible decisions that youre good with, then you do you!
