Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?

[Baki202]

I have explained to many of my closest friends to invest in Bitcoin. I can't recall exactly how many of them invested, but I assume 30% were convinced to invest, and I managed to secure Bitcoin for them to buy. A few of my friends were easily convinced when they saw my success. A few of them refused, and they think it's out of reach now. I tried to convince them about reality, but they weren't interested. For me, I don't want to force anyone. I often explain positives and negatives as well. I am not ready to hear any blame later in case Bitcoin gets dumped. I can just share the potential of a Bitcoin investment, including potential risk as well. 

A lot of my friends are interested in investing in Bitcoin but since I have a different plan, I told them that whenever they are ready, they can dm to learn but most of them are still the point of consideration and some capital is still keeping them from being able to invest. No matter how many you tell about Bitcoin, not everyone will invest and it might even be that none of them will invest but I try to encourage them to invest, no matter how little it is. it is good that we carry our friends along. because it is an investment that can last a long time. you can force anyone because, when they start trading, they might not find it pleasant when they are not making a profit. some people won't explain the disadvantages to you and such knowledge is very important because, from there, you will be able to decide whether you will invest or not. then you will be able to decide.

Actually I just started this crypto journey recently so I haven't tasted profit for the first time, I think those people who have been profiting from bitcoin investment are in the right position to answer this question, because they have evidence/prove. you can only convince someone if you have prove, is very difficult for someone who have not yet  profited from bitcoin investment to influence someone, what if the person ask you about how many  times you got profited from bitcoin investment? At this point you will be short of words, that is why I personally made up my mind not to convince anyone to invest in bitcoin not until I taste profit so that is going to serve as prove when convincing them.

On the time that i had discovered or learned about Bitcoin then i have told my bestfriend about this and ended up on having that awareness about this forums existence. We were both noobs on that time
on which on the moment i had made out some basic explaination on what it is then he immediate grab it and really that interested to learn on which it results up that we are almost 8 years on
here on crypto world and we cant really be able to say that we are already that rich but at least we are really that establishing ourselves to be on that better condition when it comes to finances.
We didnt really just that focus in Bitcoin accumulation alone but also in other established coins/projects as well.

This is the only time and my first and last introduction of Bitcoin to other people and i have stopped now on the time  that i dont really like on getting blamed on something
when it comes to money or crypto investment. This is why i dont like on making those kind of introductions.

Never.
In fact, I have never influenced other people to invest in Bitcoin. Usually, if someone asks or makes an inaccurate statement regarding Bitcoin, I just provide a little explanation as best I can. because I'm not an expert here either. And that also doesn't show that I am someone who is involved in Bitcoin. Because in my area Bitcoin is still often associated with bad things. So it's not that easy to say it all, let alone encourage other people to get involved here. This is very difficult. Unless you are mature and want to learn or invest in Bitcoin, then I invite you to learn together by providing as much information as I can, regarding the opportunities and risks.

currently Everybody Have Known what is Bitcoin and the most of the people who invest in Bitcoin is making use of internet because many of the social medium today carry out information of Bitcoin and the many people who invest in Bitcoin is through social media information but based on your question I have introduced so many people into Bitcoin and I introduce them when bitcoin was more popular as it is today and ass of that time many people thinking that bitcoin is a scam and then when you introduce them to Bitcoin they rejected bitcoin because they have a mind that bitcoin is a scam but currently anyone you introduce in Bitcoin right now will you be grateful to you based on it is what he or she is anticipating to know.

I keep the bitcoin investing to myself so I can't say for sure that I've convinced or successfully converted someone to invest into bitcoin, I'd love the idea that I'll convince someone to invest in bitcoin though but the only caveat is that they're the ones that will come to me and not the other way around, I don't want to force them to learn something that they only have a vague interest in and we've talked to pass the time, I don't like to be blamed for something because I've forced them into it, that's not really my style.

I know that it is a personal decision to convince someone to invest in Bitcoin but it is well known that what makes Bitcoin Toby popular today it is because of the chain people introduce by speculating the information of Bitcoin, so I believe that the major factor or reason while people do invest in bitcoin is because its a decentralised currency...and making bitcoin to be know comes through introducing people to bitcoin.

I only influenced my parents. They invested and made 3x on it, but I still can't call it a success because throughout the entire investment they believed that I was responsible for this decision they made. And during periods when Bitcoin fell or stood still, they were unhappy. I no longer plan to give investment advice to anyone. This must be an internal desire of a person. Only then does he take full responsibility upon himself, and not look for someone to push it onto.

it is good to bring up people that you know in Bitcoin investment because for you to introduce them to bitcoin you know quite well the benefit the advantages you have already gotten from bitcoin investment that is why so many persons now do bring the member of the family into Bitcoin and there's sometimes the reason why you need to introduce your siblings or your parents into bitcoin is when you depart on Earth so that they can be able to access your bitcoin that you save so without introducing them to Bitcoin I don't know how your bitcoin will be when you give off on planet... from my perspective it is highly ideal that someone introduce the member or the family to bitcoin investment

It's cringey. Because they agreed of the possibilities I offered to them as I introduce Crypto. Yet it feels like they are more likely to put all the blame on me once they lose their money or even just having their account in negative position even it's just a paper loss yet! That's why after this encounterment with a friend, I no longer convince anyone. When people ask me IF Should they invest in Bitcoin. I would be asking them back instead If they are ready to be taking the risk to have that opportunity. Because it's the fact. Being in the market means taking risks.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?

Yes. So far the result is being very positive, because I influenced someone close to me to invest in Bitcoin before the bull run started, what means he purchased Bitcoin when it was still around 40,000$-50,000$ price range. So, as we can see, he has already made a lot of profit over his investments. I also adviced this person to invest in Avalanche (AVAX) altcoin, and by the last crash in crypto market, the investment was also being highly profitable, although right now there is almost a tier between investment and current AVAX price.

We are still confident the market is going to react positively, though. Our expectations are pretty high and I'm sure this person is happy with his progress and my influence over his investments so far. His only complaint is by not having had more money to invest in crypto market before the bull run started.

It was my earlier stage I have introduce people to bitcoin as then but at some point I began to see the inconveniences that surround teaching and telling people about bitcoin most times they sees you as someone who is extremely rich and could start planning against someone with the mindset that you are holding thousands of bitcoin, they don't mind planning for your kidnap or to whatever danger it attract to oneself. Currently i want to remain hidden the way I am without much eyes focusing on me because the more you try to tell people the more you get closer to the wrong hands so what next is just for them to start thinking of to get you off the way.

So far I never introduce anyone about Bitcoin, so the answer is I don't know if I'm capable to convince someone to invest in Bitcoin and don't know what they will do after they invest in Bitcoin.

Teach someone about Bitcoin have many drawbacks:
1. Ruin my privacy.
2. I would get blamed if they loss.
3. Wasting my time and effort.

You are correct but you must not tell them how much in your possessions otherwise planning against you is inevitable since they would think you had more than enough so they could try all possibilities.
Sometimes you don't need to preach much what they need is prove and example on how you are living large with bitcoin then you have less to worries about they would do their findings before finally want to do their investment, what you would do is just to give them knowledge about wallets and security.

Yes I have asked my two friends back in 2020 when covid was there and lockdown was imposed to invest in Bitcoins. They at first hesitated, but after making them understand about the profits that coins have, they invested some amount in Bitcoins. In the past two bull runs, they made good profits and eventually thanked me for educating them about the coins. I just told them about the advantages and profits bitcoins can give to the investors, rest they made their decision themselves to invest and risk the money.

Don't think those early people you told about Bitcoin have forgotten that you're into Bitcoin now since you haven't been talking about it. Wait for the bull run and then you run into them and watch what they say. One of the young dudes I told about Bitcoin in 2017/18 upon my getting a whiff of what Bitcoin could do, though he relented till date, shocked me. I ran into him a few weeks ago in a public setting and dude called me a crypto lord to the hearing of others. I felt so embarrassed and exposed that I had to quickly leave that scene. Now isn't a time to loud one's involvement in cryptos, especially the way our country is showing animosity towards cryptos.

I have never come to influence other people as well. Not now and even in the future, there’s no way I can imagine myself trying to influence someone on investing on bitcoin because I know that could be too risky to invest into something without full understanding on its nature and how it actually works in the market. Well, I can imagine myself giving people hints about bitcoin even with altcoins, as long as they ask me too, but crossing the line influencing them to be like me, I believe that’s not gonna happen for sure.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?

Yes, I did and the result is good knowing how serious she is when it comes to investing. The things that drive her to do it successfully are the interest she has and her strong determination. She ain't making complaints because she fully understands how the crypto market works.

Telling the right and open-minded person is the thing we consider. I never tell anyone when I see doubts in their mind nor if they keep asking "what if" because that person carries uncertainties already and won't gain confidence, and the chance of failing is too high which ends up blaming me.

Same here on which even with own family members on where i dont really recommend or suggest on investing into it or telling them about it. Whenever they do ask me about Bitcoin then i do make out some giving some links about the basics on what it is but in speaking about investment decisions or something correlated to it then i dont really like on telling or making out some suggestions. Just like the rest been saying above that i dont like on getting blamed or been having that kind of disappointment towards me on the time that they would be losing money. Its better to have a peaceful living even if it means that you would really be keeping yourself that silent and doesnt really like on having some involvement with those kind of recommendations or suggestions because we do know that no matter how close you are whether a family or friend
but in talks of money then everything would turn out to be different if there would really be those kind of conflicts in between on which this is something that i dont really like to happen.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?

I haven’t, and I never will. A friend knowing that I know a lot about cryptocurrencies once asked me if they should invest and I reiterated the ideology of Bitcoin over again to them and told them the risk if they wanted to invest. I don’t think it’s wise to advise anyone to invest in such a volatile market. You have no clue how much they take your word for it and may even invest their life saving.

I see no big deal influencing someone into Bitcoin not forcefully or persuasively but by careful dissociation of the risk and benefits attached to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is associated with risk but takes only a simple knowledge and understanding not to fall victim, so it's a no big deal influencing someone to partake in Bitcoin as long the person would harken to rules and instructions to avoid losing his/her funds during the volatile phase of the market.

In a case we're we have to separate Bitcoin as not a Cryptocurrency, it's not a good ethic refering a person to crypto investment because there is no certainty of the Altcoin giving profits or even retain their value after a DIP but as for Bitcoin, there is 100% of not losing funds as long the person is interested for the long run.

Of course it’s no big deal to influence them into Bitcoin but OP is asking about influencing them to invest. That doesn’t sound like a smart thing to do. And it is beyond Bitcoin because one can lose money even in the stocks market or investing in gold. So it’s obviously not a good idea to do more than telling them about the likely opportunity and leaving them to make their decisions knowing fully well the possible outcome too. But for Bitcoin, it wouldn’t hurt to discuss about its actual importance (why it was created).

The way you sounded—you can't and will never—is very serious. I know it's not good or safe to give financial advice or decisions to others, but that does not mean we shouldn't ever do it.
 
There are times when we can make an exception, teach those who really need it and understand the risk involved, and from there they can make their own investment rather than pushing them away as if Bitcoin is entirely the wrong choice of investment.

You probably don’t know the depth of influencing someone to invest and it goes south.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?

Why do I have to? I’m totally aware of its risks that could lead to depression and frustration, so why should I? Bitcoin is not an ordinary investment wherein you’ll just invest and put your hard-earned money and then boom, you’re already in profits. Of course, that’s not how bitcoin works. It may takes several years first of being patient and persistent before you will see its profits and rewards, so that would mean a quite risky and somewhat a roller coaster investment due to its high volatility in the market. And let’s face it, not everyone is patient and is capable to take calculated risk when it comes to putting their hard-earned money in an investment.

Yes, I so much agree with what both of you said above about how it's better staying anonymous for personal security reasons with a Bitcoin investment, rather than you trying to convince anybody into investing in an asset which have proven many times since 14yrs ago about it's ability being worthy for long term investment. Because inasmuch as Bitcoin is an asset worthy of reference to others, let's not always fail to make our personal security a top most priority. Because, personally speaking, instead of we trying motivate others to invest in Bitcoin, the current price of Bitcoin today should be sole motivator (I e for the fact that it was onece valued at $10/BTC, $100/BTC, $10,000/BTC and now $60,000/BTC).

Yes my brother was really against me when I was starting in cryptocurrency, but after I showed him my earning he also tried it.
And now he is the one who guides me on some crypto activities, and he is much more successful than me.
I know that he is thankful for it, honestly crypto change our life it made it easier.

Usually people don't tend to get you when you talk about Bitcoin as they feel you want to introduce one scam project especially if they've never heard about it. I agree with your reasons because as par your first reason, you get to open yourself to some kinds of risks since where I come from, some parastatals regard one who trades Bitcoin as someone worthy of suspicion, one who is involved in fraudulent activities or the like so it's best to keep such matters to yourself.
 It's not everyone who can be patient with Bitcoin's price volatility so why bother when like you pointed it will boomerang on you if prices don't go the way they want?

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?

Yes of course, especially when the time that they saw my profit and all the things I'm teaching them are true. Before, they don't care and consider Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency as scam and they thought I'm one of them but I do literally just want to teach them what is it, how it works and how to invest (I don't ask them money, I told them to buy/trade on their own) and also to avoid them getting scammed by others but after the news and the pump last 2021, they now see that I'm really teaching and encouraging them to learn and from that point I managed to influence them in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

Well, some of them managed to have some good profit and some of them are not, but still I managed to influenced and helped them to understand Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

[Alone055]

you get to open yourself to some kinds of risks since where I come from, some parastatals regard one who trades Bitcoin as someone worthy of suspicion, one who is involved in fraudulent activities or the like so it's best to keep such matters to yourself.

Both, this and the safety concern are reasons why a person shouldn't disclose that they are involved in cryptocurrencies or have invested in them because we live in a world where money is everything for everyone, and you don't know who to trust these days. A person who is a dear friend on your face might not be the same on your back, so if you disclose private things to them, it might instigate them and they might do something to get their hands on your funds.

This is the reason why a person living anywhere in the world doesn't need to discuss their finances or financial activities such as how much money they have, what sort of investments they have made, or where they keep their money, etc. Even if the person in front is from your family, you can't trust anyone nowadays.

So if someone approaches asking about Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general, you can tell them that you have heard about them and know what they are, but you don't need to tell them you are involved for your safety and privacy.
