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

[Renampun]

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.

that's very true, actually out there there are a lot of people out there who are jealous of your achievements, they don't support you, and things like that are experienced by many people including myself lol. when I talked about investing in bitcoin to my friends, my initial goal was for their economy to improve and they were willing to choose investment assets that were convincing and had a good reputation, but most of them thought I was taking advantage of them and even when bitcoin hit a low price several years ago, a friend of mine was angry with me and said I cheated him.

(since the incident above) in the future I don't want to spend my thoughts on people who don't believe in me, I realized that bitcoin will still exist even if they don't believe in it, I focused on self-development myself and also my investment in bitcoin, it really makes me mentally safe.

Not every person's opinion has the same meaning, and it takes time to understand the relationship. You are free to make your own decisions and do what feels right for you. If you want to be successful with Bitcoin then remember one thing. Successful people have few friends, or successful people make friends wisely. It is unusual and never possible for everyone in the world to agree on all your actions or opinions no matter what you do. For that reason, it will be much easier to move forward if your opinion is similar to the opinion of the person you want to accept as a friend. I think it's best to respect the opinion of those who don't believe in BTC and go with it. This makes it easier for me to navigate with BTC. I always love to go on retreats.

As long as the person respect your beliefs I think it's okay. It's a shallow reason to pull out your relationship with someone who have different beliefs in you especially if that person is your childhood friend or is really close to you. I understand that we should choose the right person carefully if you are going to make him as your real friend. But it never a good idea to end your good relationship or change the way treat them just because they are against your belief. If only they embarrassed you for what you believe, I think it's reasonable to stay away from them. But before that happen, give them enough time and be patient, maybe soon they will like Bitcoin.

[HideYourKeys]

I guess they will realize in 1-2 years, who was wrong or who was right. I try not to push bitcoin down the throat of my friends or relatives, I keep a low profile, and they will come if they are interested.

I think that it's not my duty to prove anything to anyone. I try my best to educate people and introduce bitcoin in their life but instead I get cynicism, laugh and people say that it's a bubble that will explode. Time goes on and all we see is that bitcoin achieves new all time highs and price is going to the moon. Now I don't talk about Bitcoin unless I hear it from someone, I just shut my mouth because it's not really my duty to educate others and it's not really nice to get cynicism back.

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.

Yes, it's good when you have people around you who are optimistic and give you boots but I think it's not good to hear only positive sides and don't hear talk about negative sides from others. We need balance in life, I believe this.

[panganib999]

I simply don't care. First off, it's your money, your rules. These people, no matter who they are (and yes, even your parents) have no agency on where you spend your shit. And as long as it's not on stupid things like drugs or hoes, you are good to go. Secondly, the ones who'll reap the profits when things go great are going to be you and you only, so why wait and let other people affect your decisions? When it comes to money you shouldn't play around, you always must take the smartest approach and make sure that you don't let stuff like these get to your brain. Besides, bitcoin has proven itself time and time again to many people in the world, why let someone who doesn't know jackshit about it affect your way of living?

[God bless u]

Simple is that don't share your financial matters with other especially with those who talk behind you and comment negatively about your success. We are earning for ourself not for others therefore we have no benefit whether anyone is investing in bitcoin or not. Money is your so responsibility will also be yours that how and where to use this sum.

We should not talk to everyone about our Bitcoin's investment because hackers are always present here which can steal all your data and also other people will not consider it to be profitable so your word of convincing others will have no effect at all. If someone is interested in Bitcoin's investment then he will ask you first without your convincing approach. Don't think about negative thoughts of others because everyone will think differently, you will find bitcoin as a profitable asset but others cannot therefore leave every other person to make their own decisions.

Well, we don't cope with such peeps we ignore them. It has been around 6 years and I still can't bring my friend on board for mining. The first mining rig I set up was in my roommate's flat where I had just started my new job. I was curious about Bitcoin already and slowly I grew my knowledge to the extent that I wanted to have my own mining rig and not just buy outright but build from scratch. I did start it and asked my friends to get involved. My intention was to make them aware of Bitcoin, get involved with mining, and make them feel it. However, I failed at that because they did not get involved with it nor did they try to learn anything out of it. To date, I have made so many bucks and they are just looking at it, one can read their faces and see how they have missed it.

Long story short, you don't really make effort to teach such peeps, you just ignore them and move on.

They won't understand in a year or two, because they won't know what bitcoin is or try investing in it in a year or two. If they tell you, for example, how delicious fugu fish is, but don't tell you the details and don't let you try it, will you know what it is and what it tastes like? It's the same with bitcoin. So it is necessary to educate people, tell them about bitcoin, and then, knowing a little bit what it is, they will be able to make their choice.

I keep distance with them. Since they're not the type of people I want to be surrounded with, then it's better to stay away from them and treat them like they don't really exist in my life. Because if I let them enter into my life, for sure there will be a lot of negative criticisms coming from them and that's what I don't really like the most, judging me and my thing just because I have different investment choice compared to them.

People like them are not really healthy to be with. Even if you explain your investment to them, they will always have a lot of negative to say. That's why it's better to get rid of them before I lost my focus to my own bitcoin investment.

However, truth be told that everyone is not meant to be the same as you and people not agreeing with what you are saying doesn't mean that they too don't have a good reason for that. Moreover, there are a lot of people today that don't like what others don't like and most of them are doing well so far.
For me, I can still keep those same people as friends only if they mean no harm to me or if they are not like a threat to my investment. Why, because we can learn from each other, they too might know what I don't know, and I can still learn from them and they too can learn from me in one way or the other.
Sometimes, those people that are closer to us are the ones that mean harm to us. There is a popular saying in my locality that says YOUR BEST FRIEND IS YOUR WORST ENEMIES and it is true because, when they are closer to you, they are getting more information about you and your assets.

I couldn’t care less about other peoples opinions on my bitcoin investments & involvements. I’ve had many family members & friends, associates etc make sarcastic remarks when the price has gone down but they’ve all been made to look very silly as long term, the price just continues to rise & make new all time highs. You would think that they would eat humble pie & buy but they don’t. Presumably they’ll be making sarcastic remarks towards ke when the price drops from 150k to 40k or something similar in 2026/27.

We would just stress ourselves if we keep allowing those negative opinion coming from people doesn't know or didn't like to know about bitcoin since for sure that they will be close minded on it since they don't know anything about bitcoin. Maybe I will just simply continue on what I am doing and will not have time to explain anything to them about what I do. Just letting them to see the profits I made by investing on Bitcoin and crypto then its up for them if they try or if they ask since I will answer it on the most basic way.

Maybe they might really get interest about it when they see bitcoin bull run is already happening and to many people earning a lot of money coming from it. The profit itself will explain anything and for sure those skeptical people will might get interest about trying since they also want to earn that.

Just ignore them, because only we benefit from the beauty of Bitcoin when we enjoy its benefits because Bitcoin can change our lives for the better, especially in financial terms.
And at that time I felt some people's chatter about Bitcoin, and I ignored it because I understood that they didn't know about Bitcoin and why fight it because it was just a waste of time. And after they saw the changes I experienced in a year and a few months, starting from the house I renovated, having a motorbike and also a luxurious lifestyle and so on because I wanted them to see and ask what made me change. And that's where they were amazed and when they just asked me, I just said this is the Bitcoin yield that you insulted at that time. And in the end they realized and regretted that besides my clear evidence, they also saw some news about Bitcoin rising, and also many investors who became rich because of Bitcoin.

[Yatsan]

Let them be.
Some would be frustrated trying to win their relatives’ favor of this investment but on my end I’d choose not to encourage others to also do so. One reason is the risk; I know how fast changes take place with market behavior and I don’t want to drag other people to something which has risk. If ever they’d have the initiative to invest then I would be willing to guide them. I am avoiding conflicts; non crypto investors would normally be impressed of the profit potential but not the risk. And if ever things would be problematic I would be for sure the one to blame if ever I would choose to encourage them to invest in this industry.

[Winterfrost]

I don't really think about what people around me think. There will always be some persons who will surely be against you or not believe in you, no matter what you do. You can't please everyone, and not everyone will be pleased with what you do. My decision on Bitcoin is a personal one, others' opinions, whether right or wrong, are invalid. There will be a time when the evidence of investing will show, and at that time, those who neglected me will not have any conversation to do with when they ask me how I did it.

[The Cryptovator]

Usually, I am quite different, and I think differently. I'm not scared and don't react when someone doesn't believe my beliefs. I just let them live with their beliefs. I don't try to convince you to walk on the same path as me. Because it's related to financial investment, if something goes wrong, it would hurt me later. How can we think that everyone's beliefs are the same? All the individuals won't be interested in Bitcoin so quickly. But when they see your success, they will realise their mistakes, and they will respect your beliefs. I have real experience; one of my friends didn't believe in Bitcoin until six years ago. A few days ago, he told me he was wrong. He should have a better life if he became a bitcoin investor.

[Distinctin]

 Well, it's not actually giving me a hard time because I usually ignore those type of people who never agree on my own stands in life, especially when it comes to my own investments. People like them do not deserve my time explaining to them because for obvious reason, once they don't like what you are doing, they will always have a lot of negative to say to you and to your own choices in life. And for me, that's okay because we don't live to mind other life's businesses but we live for our own choices in life. And when I say I'm into bitcoin, that means I will pursue it without considering other people's ideas and suggestions especially to those people whom I think are actually against bitcoin.

My money, my rules, my own choice for my investment. That words simply means that they have no right to manipulate my decision just because we don't share the same concepts when it comes to bitcoin.

[EluguHcman]

Pretty much self explanatory.  How do you do it?

 
Verify according to when i learnt of Bitcoin, I was comfortably in doubt and ignorant about it and it was hard  believing its reputable state of potentials else I would had been into the system since longer time ago.
So, I still believe there are people as my formal belief about Bitcoin so I could handle their negative sabotages about Bitcoin and I was able to ask them let me concentrate on my journey without trying to incite me with some negative anxieties along my Bitcoin quest.
This is one of my aspirations of creating this thread that talked about: Walking with those on the same mission as you if you must conquer" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5458884.msg62512588#msg62512588

Here is my way.  I mostly pushed away and pulled out of relationships with people who seem to stand against my beliefs   

 
You don't push and pull out of people just because they don't agrees to your believe else you would create unnecessary instigations and that is assumed of being biased. Knowledges and beliefs are in diverses so those of your friends is either not a waste being around you because they may hold potentials to offer outside your Bitcoin investment.
But you may decide to pull out of people who doesn't want your success and not just because they are not of same mere belief with you else it natures your you negative rapporteur and segregations sabotages.

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.

 
The truth is that it is not healthy enough to convince anyone about Bitcoin but can only talk to them about it as much the Bitcoin markets doesn't require any form of marketing skills to attract one for personal interests of making profits.
They may doubt you in as much they are adamant and ignorant to the system but does not mean they are bad people but at the virtue where you are being expected to fail is where lyes being an anti-success and should be avoided.

@ OP, I have come to realize that if you don't talk about Bitcoin or giving one the chances to argue with you about Bitcoin no one would stress of it with you.

What must be answered to the epraosn is that the money is yours, it has no power to get involved in or what they don't care about, whether they believe or not believe in bitcoin, they cannot make us believe in what others say, it is ours. money, it is our decision and that must be respected, how many people will not accept bitcoin is strange, I find it strange because it is money, it is a way to multiply our money as time goes by, that is why it must be Be very smart when you choose to buy bitcoin and not another investment in fiat, in banks and in other real estate options, but whoever wants to buy bitcoin because it seems best to them, that must be respected.
