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

[Minecache]

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.

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.

Yes, why do we care what others think about us when they have no responsibility towards us and our family? If they are rich and willing to guarantee me the life I have always dreamed of then I am willing to listen to what they have to say but if they are only jealous of my success then why would I waste my time with those people? Instead of spending time arguing or thinking about what they say, we should spend that time creating results, because results are what will make them stop badmouthing us.

do not waste your energy on people who will never believe in you and does nothing but put you down and crash your dreams and ideas it’s not their life it’s yours at the end of the day you know you’re the one who made the right decision let your own success speak for itself

people will always have something to say on other people’s lives they will judge someone for doing something when sometimes they’re even doing worse it’s a way of projection that you should never let affect you and instead you should ignore because their words and decisions are only a reflection of who they are not a reflection of yours

A total waste of time and a total waste of effort if you do really force up someone to believe about Bitcoin or crypto. If they wont really be showing some interest then its their choice. Its not my loss.
Im a type of person whose really that not get easily distracted or simply that get that discourage if there's someone whose really be that having not right words about Bitcoin or crypto. They dont really just know
on what they are saying. Sooner or later they would really be able to realize that they had just missed out the opportunity on making money or simply just missed out that kind of utility on which Bitcoin could be able to give.It is really just that there are people who cant just welcome new ideas or things that do exist.

Trying to cope up? Its not really necessary because i could live on my own and could decide on my own. If you do want to hear and learn something then its
good but if not then its your choice and just like on what i have said that it isnt my loss.Its theirs...There are really people who doesnt
welcome changes or opportunities or whatever new things that we do have today. They do really love on staying outdated.

Bitcoin's greatest strength is that it's an asset that doesn't need to convince people. We don't have to convince anyone or deal with them. It's really complicated to explain Bitcoin to someone who doesn't know Bitcoin. If the person you're explaining it to has an enthusiasm and desire for cryptocurrencies and markets, they can do their own research and get most of the information. But I wouldn't feel the need to explain Bitcoin to someone who doesn't even do research because I chose Bitcoin.
Because no matter how much I tell them, they will not want to understand. It is necessary not to care about some things. It's 2023 and there are thousands of resources for explaining Bitcoin. Dealing with people who are not followers of it is not helpful and it is harmful for you. So don't waste your time and keep going in the right direction.

[Lucius]

Pretty much self explanatory.  How do you do it?
~snip~

By accepting that people have their own opinion and that it can be completely opposite to what I think about something or someone. People have always had their doubts when it comes to Bitcoin, they still have them today and they will have them in the future - why waste your precious time convincing them otherwise?

In addition, if your only motive is profit and you ignore the real reason why Bitcoin exists, you can often face negativity that can be completely justified considering where Bitcoin is headed. After all, it is not very smart to let people know that you invest in Bitcoin, because we are no longer in the time when Bitcoin was worth only a few hundred dollars and was on the margins of society.

[Outhue]

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.

Then we are alike, I always like staying when others choose to run away from those who are hating on them, they don't believe in us it's fine, stay around and let them feel the wrath of their own hate when you are shining, it's indeed a big pleasure watching them get suffocated while things keep getting better for you.

Some do this because they feel concerned and they don't want you to fail, but some will take it too far which will reveal that what they actually want for you is different, before I became what I am today, many people who are suppose to be encouraging me, even the so called blood ones are all criticizing, I eventually find out that it's not about concern of wasting my time, sometimes I even feel like they are witches and wizard, maybe they already have the answer of what will happen in the future and they are trying to make me stop.

The only person that supported me was my father, like if he is still alive today I will spend more money and my sweat on him, unfortunately he passed too soon, he is a special man, I am proud and confidence to say that if I have the opportunity to come back to this world again I will choose him as a father again.

You have a strong mentality and can overcome these haters and even make them even more nervous about what you are doing.
Those Bitcoin or crypto haters do not understand what is really happening, what we are really doing with this investment, they are only focused on being able to destroy your beliefs about Bitcoin.

Living in an environment that does not support digital assets such as Bitcoin or other crypto, will be a challenge.
But it's better if the environment doesn't know what we're doing.

[moneystery]

that's also what i do for people who don't believe me for choosing bitcoin. they will be skeptical of my opinion about bitcoin and call it a scam. what i did was quite simple, just listening to them babble without once correcting their statements. there's no point in listening to their opinions because it's not important at all. they are not in my position, so just treat their opinions as nonsense and be sure that one day they will regret their statements.

[danadc]

In these times people will always have their Prejudices and their way of believing or not in these things , it could be said that each person can combine their religious Beliefs with these new Technologies , if they see it Very well they say that this is not Right and that It is manipulated by bad things so when a person does not believe in Bitcoin and it is totally Radical I do not like to fall into many provocations because I know that the person who does not Have the same thing is Talking and to listen to Someone Speak the Same thing that the news Says is to Waste time , I listen to people who read Books and who can talk About that Topic , but those who Speak pro-Speaking or to Repeat what others say , I Leave it there.

[Ultegra134]

Everyone is susceptible to having their own opinion; Bitcoin is not a panacea or a go-to solution for everything. It's perfectly reasonable that it's not likeable by everyone, and we should accept that it's their own point of view—one that can hardly change. I have a few acquaintances who are completely against it, but I'm not bothering to change their minds, nor do I care about their opinion; it's unlikely and pointless. People were always skeptical about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, but we should embrace them and keep going, ignoring what others believe. Convincing someone who's against it is a waste of our time; you can't force

[harapan]

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 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.

OP! I think you're going too far pushing people away from yourself.  Disagreement is fine but not disrespect. There's a famous  quote from the founder of the Bitcoin network Satoshi Nakamoto  I do not know  if it is here on the Bitcoin forum. I have always liked it for being brief and send a clear message.

"IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME OR DON'T GET IT, I DONT HAVE ANYTIME TO TRY TO CONVINCE YOU, SORRY! This is just perfect for me,  you do not need too much explanation  to be said!

I could remember when I started my Bitcoin journey, my siblings all thought it was just a total waste of time I was doing back than, but I never gave up and I kept on doing what I knew how to do best, buying and investing the least amount of money I could always afford to, and today, they all now wishing had they known they would have joined me when I started my journey. So that's just exactly how life is, there will always be people out there to discourage you at all times, but it's left for you to fall for it, or hold firm to that which you believe in.

Not everyone will believe in the plans and goals we want to achieve, even those closest to us (family), I'm sure almost all of us have experienced the same thing, but it all comes back to ourselves in responding to it, some are down or disappointed so He did not continue with what he planned because there was no support from his family and there was also the opposite.
When I was in that position, I never paid any attention to them until finally I gave them real proof that what I was doing had a positive result in the profits I got.

That's life, there are many lessons we can take from the journey we have gone through and because of that we also have to be observant and smart in responding to all different things.

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

I personally choose not to care about things like that. Because in my personal opinion, everyone's response will be different regarding bitcoin investment. So when we see/hear other people's points of view regarding Bitcoin, we have to be wiser in responding to it. Especially when you hear talk that insults or denigrates Bitcoin, it's better to just keep quiet and smile. Because of course not everyone will like bitcoin, because that's the way the world is, there are definitely pro and contra.

Additionally, currently not many people around me know that I invest in bitcoin. Only a few people know about it. Because I take my privacy very seriously, especially when it comes to bitcoin. Therefore, people around me only have vague assumptions about me.

I agree with you, because it's better than having to convince him. So avoiding and staying away from people who are not pro with Bitcoin, that's a better way. Because as I said above, everyone has their own perception of everything, and that includes bitcoin. Therefore, when investing in bitcoin, don't listen too much to what people say because this will disturb our psychology. And finally, don't mind if your perception of Bitcoin is not the same as other people's perceptions. Because you need to remember, we are bitcoin investors who definitely need profits, and don't need recognition from other people.

[davis196]

I don't have to cope with this BS, because I keep my Bitcoin/crypto journey a secret.
Your financial situation is your business, not anyone else's. The people in your social circle should mind their own business and you are not obligated to share information about your financial situation with them. Sharing info about your finances with your social circle(or complete strangers) seems stupid to me. Your financial status is your responsibility. There's no point of getting butthurt just because many people don't like or understand Bitcoin/crypto. Everyone has his own opinions and there's no point of trying to convince anybody about anything.

[boyptc]

My investments are not theirs so there's really no need for me to think on how I should deal with these people that been skeptic of what I am investing despite it's proven to be real.

people will always have something to say on other people’s lives they will judge someone for doing something when sometimes they’re even doing worse it’s a way of projection that you should never let affect you and instead you should ignore because their words and decisions are only a reflection of who they are not a reflection of yours

Right.

If they suddenly check the price of Bitcoin and it is going downhill, they will message you that your investment is failing. But if they see it going up, they will remember you a bit and then won't bother to message you.

All they hope is for someone not to do well in life, we mind our business and that's the best way to deal with these crazy people.

[rodskee]

I myself once being such stupid to not believing in Bitcoin but sooner have find myself believing and yes
Now a lucky man , I am not having bad impression to same people as me and so I wanted them to continuously believing so maybe will
 never go away from them instead will keep engaging and showing them my success over Bitcoin believing .

In the past I tried keeping it secret but now that it is booming in my area so i let those people close to me
to understand and yes to believe and invest in future.

Being resilient when everyone else is pulling back is hard, especially when you're being criticized. It shows how strong you are that you chose to stay where others ran away, letting other people's doubts fuel your determination. That level of determination is very important. As you saw, the market is very shaky, and many people dont believe in digital currencies either, just like they didnt believe in you. But those who stay strong during the storm of the market often end up winning. Many people go through the same hard times you did with critics, even in your own circle. This is a fight of the mind as well as the body. But the belief of your father - thats the kind of backing that makes visionaries in any field. Its too bad that the world didnt get to see more that he taught you. In Bitcoin, these kinds of stories happen all the time. Those who stick with it are usually the ones whose ideas are proven right.

Personally I won't mingle with people who doesn't believe in Bitcoin let alone bother myself to change their belief and orientation, fortunately I work in a school where almost all my colleagues and students believe in Bitcoin so it became easy for me to convince any first timer or newbie about Bitcoin, infact everyone in my work place identify me as a Bitcoin enthusiast, however places where it would be very difficult to convince people about Bitcoin is mostly in less educational disadvantage region in my country because majority of the people believe it's a ponzi scheme based on the pump and dump in the price of Bitcoin thus it's to difficult to convince them hopefully with further enlightenment they change their orientation.

[NeilLostBitCoin]

When I first started with Bitcoin, I faced skepticism from some of my friends. However, now they are always curious to know about my earnings and investments whenever we meet. Even though I want to share my knowledge with them, I am cautious about revealing too much information, as it could put me in danger someday. I only reveal a limited amount of information to let them decide if they want to start investing in Crypto-currency too. Even if they didn't believe in Bitcoin before, I will not abandon them.
