Is it proper for one to trade Bitcoin through a trusted friend ?

[Gaza13]

It depends how much trust you want to give to your friend. If you plan on letting your friend do trading on your behalf then I’m gonna say that might be a bit too much and you shouldn’t at all do that. However if you are just talking about taking his advices then why not?

Though we can accept some opinions of others, it’s still not recommended to just follow whatever they are saying, we also need to criticize what they are saying and check whether it might be actually the truth.

Instead of entrusting your money to your friends, why don't you learn from your friends about the knowledge they have. You cannot depend on your friends, you have to learn and be independent in this matter. In this case, even though his closest friend has expertise in reading movements in the market, his chances are still 50 wins: 50 losses. Even if someone is an expert, sometimes they can still experience defeat. We can only analyze it, to be 100% successful or not, no one can predict it.

There is a sense of satisfaction and pride that comes with knowing how to do stuff yourself. Something called self-efficacy. Before I go on I want to believe that what you mean is the regular crypto trade and not P2P. What I can say about trading Bitcoin yourself is that you get better through your wins and losses. It is a learning pathway for you. But when you do it through a friend including copy trading which  some may argue is the best, you remain at the beginner trader level for a long time. A total waste of time and resources in my estimation. Trade your Bitcoin yourself through the rigorous process of learning or just hold your Bitcoin.

I totally agree with you on this,but the question now is ?

How about one who actually have zero or no knowledge about the crypto but have an interest on investing so as to enable Him grow more weather?

Instead of just letting them ride it, why not teach them how to drive on their own?
If they are really interested in crypto or Bitcoin they would at least make time to study or understand even the basics in cryptocurrency.
I have some friends before who wants to invest in crypto before, they want me to handle their investment so I guide them on how to buy and sell crypto as well as the trading sites that I use, I also taught them on how to participate airdrops.

There are actually two types of Gaining profit on cryptocurrency which is either investing or trading. As a total newbie I will advise you to go into investing, all what you need in investing is the appropriate wallet and the coin. For a newbie that cannot do proper research I will advise you stick to bitcoin only and the wallet suggestions are all over this forum. You can gain that knowledge here without actually needing a personal guide again.

For trading I will advise against most especially if you do not have knowledge about it. Trading is way risky such that even someone who has knowledge losses on it. So given someone your money to trade for you might be even way riskier as the person wouldn’t even apply a proper risk management since it’s not their funds.

If you insist in trading I will advice you seek the knowledge your self as that is way better than trusting your funds with another person

If it is your best friend, you can trust him and trade Bitcoin with him. But if it is someone you just met, you should not trade Bitcoin with him. We have to be careful when trading Bitcoin, especially now that Bitcoin has become more popular and many people are increasingly curious about Bitcoin.

We don't know how safe we ​​are trading Bitcoin with other people, especially people we just met. We should always be careful if we want to trade Bitcoin with other people.

I don't know if OP wants to trade bitcoin with a friend or with the help of a friend, because he said that he wants to trade it "through" a friend and that can mean 2 different things.

If we're talking about selling a friend your bitcoin, it's completely fine, just remember that a friend can also steal from you and stop being a friend, but the money will be gone.
Make sure you check if the money is real and secured before you send him BTC.

If we're talking about your friend helping you trade your BTC, I think that you shouldn't do it. It's an easy task and you can do everything yourself. Don't let others between you and your money.

If it's not going to take your time, then help that friend of yours.

Because with having that person wanting to trade from you with his/her fiat, all it takes is a simple yes from you. But if you're not comfortable doing that, you're also free to decline that.

You're in no obligation of doing the deal if it seems uncomfortable to you. However, if that person insists and really want to have it then just teach them how to buy in exchanges.

Actually, this is not recommended even if it is your own friend. Since of course investing in bitcoin is about money, people's minds are very changeable and we will never know. OK, let's assume that currently there is a friend who can be trusted, but we don't know that if bitcoin increases significantly and profits double, he might steal our money or bitcoins. So the risk is very big trusting investments in other people.

The best step is to invest in bitcoin independently, even if you don't understand or don't know how it works but really want to invest in bitcoin, it's better to learn first. And it would be even better if your friends understand how to invest in Bitcoin. Learn with him instead of trusting to trade your bitcoins to your best friend. Apart from that, entrusting your trading to your own friends carries a high risk, you could lose your friend if he makes the wrong investment decision, causing you to suffer a loss.

Haven't nurturing this idea of trading a Bitcoin in the near future,but one question that's always come as a concern to me is. Is proper for me to trust a friend of that high magnitude ?

Your question is confusing. Are you asking if a friend can help you buy Bitcoin or help you trade Bitcoin? If buying is what you are interested, you don't need anyone assistance in trying to help you. You can make use of any exchange, with a card you can buy your Bitcoin or make use of the exchange P2P and when you are done buying, withdraw it and send it to external wallet, the reason is that your Bitcoin is safe with you than any other person or the exchange.

If you are asking if a friend can help you to trade crypto, then this one is the worsy of it. Why give money to a friend to help you trade when he can trade with his own money and make the profits only him. If he is trying to help you out as a friend, it's better he teach you how to trade, let him teach you how to fish than give you fish. Have you ask him questions like how does intend to make up for losses in case he lose that money in trading risky coins.

The best way to do is trading by yourself. You can use exchange platform easily to do that, started by learning how to do that so that you can avoid high risk. It is much better to manage your own assets, trading by your own, and take the risks by your own.

Why I said this?
Because, we will never know how far and how long we will be able to believe in them. Unless they are trusted P2P. But if what you mean is doing trading with the help of your friends, it's better not to do that, it's better to just do it yourself.

However, if what you mean is that you want to buy Bitcoin from a friend you can really trust, that's called P2P. And if you really know, can meet in person, and want to carry out the interaction directly in front of you, then that can be done. It's just that in my opinion, it would be much better to buy it in the exchange yourself. Or if you use a P2P platform, make sure it is truly trusted and has a good reputation.

If you need someone else to trade for you, then you should not even be considering trading. I know you have seen people online who claim they got rich through crypto trading and maybe your friend seems to be doing well, and you also see him trading, so you believe that is how he gets his money; don't believe everything you see from afar, the reality in the actual scenario may be different.

Take note that you have no business buying BTC right now, because it is so obvious you don't understand a thing about it and you have to get some basic knowledge first, before you talk about either trading or investing in BTC.

Mate, remember that no matter how close and tight your relationship is with one another he can always betray you.

Never think that people won’t turn greedy and selfish for money even if they are your friend. Just don’t trust your money and investment to the hands of your friend completely. There is nothing better than for you to be responsible of your own profits and losses.

Trust no one! This is the primary rule on investment world.  

When you are tending neither to hold or trading up Bitcoin and you dont like that other people would be handling it out for you then it would be better to skip with this kind of idea.
Why? We do know that this market is really that volatile and there's no way that someone would be that sure profits. This is why if your friend do make out some assurances that
you could make money then better have those doubts. If you dont like on having those end line regrets then it would be best that you should be making on your own trades or investment decisions on which if ever it would really go south then you wont really be having that kind of regret that you shouldnt have done that.

Trade on your own, lose on your own and having no regrets but if you do trust up your friend with that kind of magnitude then go ahead. Just make it sure that you wont really be that pointing
fingers at him or making that blaming condition at the moment that youre seeing that your money is really that declining on which this is something which is really that very common.

Yes, we will never know for sure about someone's thoughts, especially when it comes to financial matters, it could be that those who can make a profit with the capital we have given them are no longer honest with those of us who have given it to them and it would be better for us not to trust them. completely on other people in terms of finances because everyone can change without us knowing.
In terms of investing in Bitcoin, I think it would be better for us to learn it ourselves if we really want to invest because it is very easy for us to learn, but we have to be patient in every learning process we do.

[AnonBitCoiner]

I think we should not trust anyone in case of bitcoin investment because sometimes due to our personal issues they can harm us by applying wrong strategies. It will be better to not trust anyone in this cruel world so you will be free of tension.

If you know about bitcoin investment then do it yourself and if you don't know anything about Bitcoin investment and are interested then first learn about Bitcoin investment then start it without trusting anyone else.

You and your friend will be placed in an uncomfortable situation if you were to give him full control of your money and financial decisions. I think it would be okay if you guys had agreed upon a professional relationship but if all you have is a friendly one then it can’t be good. Create a contract specifying the terms and conditions believe me it might be uncomfortable but it will be for the better.

If you do not want to have that kind of pressure in your friendship then learn how to do it on your own.

Did you mean that you don't have the idea about bitcoin investment or trading a bitcoin? Because if it is trading is going to take a lot of time before you can understand how it works, but I will advice you don't go into trading because trading has a high level of risk. However trusting someone is very hard mostly when it has to do with bitcoin investment I think is very risky, sometimes will still find it very difficult to trust people around us talk more of a friend, though I don't know how far you both have gone in the friendship and also the level of trust you both built for each other I think you're in the best position to decide.

I'm confused by your problem, exchange services exist in abundance so you can exchange the bitcoins you have.

And if you trust someone, you can ask them to do the transaction for you, but it seems you are skeptical about that situation because you don't have enough trust. I think any situation can happen, from stories in life I have also seen greed that makes even siblings willing to cheat, children cheat on their parents. But there are also many situations where strangers can help without any intention of benefit, after all, that is the situation where the OP will be the one who has the answer for this situation.

When it comes to money, it is very difficult to entrust other people, even your own siblings often make mistakes because of greed.

I also see something strange here even though the exchange service is quite easy to access so we don't need to ask someone to do it.
It's an easy thing to do yourself, especially since it's about money and the future, so I really don't agree with entrusting it to other people.

[bitzizzix]

OP seems to give up easily, trusts easily, and also just wants to be instant without doing anything, and people like you are easily lied to and are far from success.
In my opinion, trading is not an easy job, even if your friend is a trusted and successful trader, can you guarantee that your money will increase and if it doesn't meet expectations, will you accept it? Because trading does not always produce consistent profits, even for those who are experts.
And in my opinion, it's a good idea if your friend is an expert in trading and you really want to trade, you can ask your friend to provide basic knowledge about trading. And you can develop it by looking on the internet and other places to increase your knowledge so that you can do it yourself, and I think that's much better. Because whatever happens, you yourself can feel it and maybe you too can become a successful trader.

And never trust anyone when it comes to trading and investing, and if you want one of these, you have to do it yourself and start by learning on your own until you master it, know the risks and start with small capital.

Not everyone has the same character when you deal with them. Some are trustworthy, others are not. This is a common problem that actually occurs in real life, even money can change an honest person's character into a cheater when they are in a desperate situation.

But there is one thing I want to say. Family or relatives are two important parts of life. Almost all family members can be trusted when it comes to money, but not all relatives can be trusted. If you really want to help someone buy something like bitcoin for them, then you have to be someone they trust so you have to guard that trust carefully.

OP seems to give up easily, trusts easily, and also just wants to be instant without doing anything, and people like you are easily lied to and are far from success.

People who easily trust other people are good people, but it is also a weakness that should be avoided. Don't be too kind and don't trust easily, especially strangers you have just met, but when you can never trust a single family member or relative, then you definitely have the same problem.

[CODE200]

If you're talking about having your friend as the trader for you, the only thing that would matter in that situation would be that you do know how to find this friend, you're close with your friend's family and you have a knowledge of his possible whereabouts, I'm pretty sure that a lot of us trusts our friend but we have to understand that money corrupts everyone, it's just a matter of the amount of money in question. It's not a recommended thing for you to do what you plan to do with your money but if that's the only way, you probably need to cover your bases and make sure that you're not going to end up losing everything because your friend decided to betray you and you don't have any way to find that friend.
