Do you introduce bitcoin and crypto to your friends?

[nakamura12]

I introduce bitcoin to my friends which I want it to happen but others doesn't want to do it because they said that they don't know how to speak or write English and told me to teach them. Others are not interested because they are lazy. I managed to make one of my friends to learn bitcoin and he did. He is also in this forum but sadly he forgot the password of his account although it's possible to recover it but I don't know why he still haven't recover his account althoug he still have some bitcoin holding.

Bitcoin is rewriting the script on what we believe money should be. Although news sources are reporting about it, some might not truly experience it yet. We here come in to help. Sometimes it's about offering people something to chew on, like, "How do you feel about your hard-earned money losing value over time?" or "Would you prefer an asset you fully control?"

I pay close attention for emotional triggers. That's your starting point if they're upset with conventional banking. Talk of freedom, of digital ownership, of not being at the will of a centralized power. Still, do it in a way that speaks to their daily existence. Should they show interest, expand on the tech. If they glaze over, move on. Nobody is in desire of a sermon. One wants to inspire sincere interest. Should you be able to access it, they will investigate on their own. That’s real impact. That’s real connection. That’s real value

[Josefjix]

I do preach about Bitcoin and it's usage to friends and family but I don't take their money for investment, I did that before but it's almost ruined my career and I stopped doing that. I only advise them to do it on their own while I direct them the process so they keep watching their assets in their wallet created.

It's good introducing crypto to friends and even strangers because it keeps you unique among others, makes you sit among kings and queens for consultation, in my country, such preacher are taken serious and treated well.

As many people don't aware of bitcoin and other crypto, do you take initiative to explain about bitcoin to others? I am spreading information and knowledge about btc to others, advantages of btc. I have observed some people showing interest or heared about btc some where. Let's spread the btc world to others, cheers.

Even if you don't tell anyone about Bitcoin, Bitcoin will still reach its goal. But the thing is that if your relatives or close friends don't know about Bitcoin yet, then in the future if you achieve success from Bitcoin or someone else achieves success from Bitcoin, they may regret it. Because they will think that if they could have known about Bitcoin earlier, they would have definitely accepted Bitcoin. At that time, if you tell them what you know, they may definitely blame you. That is why you should definitely give your loved ones an idea about Bitcoin. If they buy Bitcoin after knowing, it is good, but if they don't, it is also good for you because they will not be able to blame you in the future.

And telling friends and family about bitcoin is not a bad thing because even if you don't tell them about it and they eventually find out you know and you are also into bitcoin and you did not tell them about it then they will be disappointed for sure and when you tell people about bitcoin telling them about the risk that investing in bitcoin comes with and telling them how to secure there bitcoin is one of the best thing to do.

There is no issues introducing bitcoin to them and even at the radio station I try to encourage young people to invest in bitcoin if you don't have a job then you should consider bitcoin because it might just be another good option to comsider.

[Stalker22]

Personally, I dont go out of my way to bring up Bitcoin or crypto with my friends.  But if they ever ask me about it, Im always glad to try and explain things or answer whatever questions they may have and  i know some folks are really into talking about investments and all that stuff, but thats just not my style.  And besides, money stuff can be personal for people right?

I have noticed some of my buddies seem curious when bitcoin comes up in conversation.  But I think lots of folks feel awkward because they dont really understand it or get how it works.  I felt the same way at first too.  But theres nothing wrong with admitting you dont know much about something. Heck, we are learning new things about everything all the time!  So, it is always better to ask than to make a stupid mistake, especially when money is involved.

[Z-tight]

I feel that anyone who does not have a job should go out and look for one, if one is not forthcoming, they should acquire more skills that will make them more attractive to employers, BTC is not a solution to people who do not have jobs. A person without a job or a skill that can generate them BTC, would probably borrow or take loans to buy BTC, which is never recommended.

Theirs no need for bitcoin introduction to people any longer, because bitcoin has gotten firm because of people who tested bitcoin investment and they made profit on the process....so I believe that people is hearing about bitcoin through Internet all over the world, except its a country her citizen is not allowed to make use internet, they're the one that will not know about Bitcoin.

Bitcoin awareness has been done some years ago and it was people were biased of bitcoin, they were no trust on bitcoin, and many governments was against bitcoin, due to they did not understand the concepts of of bitcoin then, currently nobody is inviting anybody to bitcoin investment, because people has willing on bitcoin due to what they profited via its investment.

[Reatim]

As many people don't aware of bitcoin and other crypto, do you take initiative to explain about bitcoin to others?

no unless they ask because if i tell it to them unprompted they usually say the same thing and that is they do not like bitcoin and i will have to go in defensive mode

I am spreading information and knowledge about btc to others, advantages of btc. I have observed some people showing interest or heared about btc some where. Let's spread the btc world to others, cheers.

i value my privacy and most importantly my security so i don’t go around randomly telling people about bitcoin and give them an idea that i might be holding some

if a friend particularly asks me about it then i’ll go explain

Spreading information to people about bitcoin of course is a good thing to  do. However, their are some people maybe when you try telling them about how bitcoin investment works and at same time trying to convince him/her to go into bitcoin investment.  if you're still the first person to inform him about bitcoin investment  probably he might be thinking that you're actually trying to scam him considering how you're being so optimistic about it of course that's the feeling we always have sometimes when you're not familiar with something maybe you meet a friend who knows everything concerning that very thing you know when he keep telling you about that stuff at first you will be scared because that's your first time of hearing about such thing. More especially when money is involved you know people are always careful when it comes to something that will require puting our money. So I will rather wait for them to Walk up to me if they're interested, than spreading information about bitcoin because not everyone that is interested.

I did it back then but now I’m too lazy to explain what cryptocurrency is, I mean there’s a lot of videos out there that explains cryptocurrency so I rather send a video link than me explaining it all to them and end up wasting time because they will eventually lose time to be in crypto and will just lose hope for not having goof profits since it’s peak season. Yes i wanna help but won’t give too much energy just to teach a few, I rather communicate with individuals who already knowledgeable and discuss something valuable that could grow our money even more.

[Alphakilo]

If not, you can simply share them some basic links, and they can do their own learning if they are interested in Bitcoin.
Bitcoin explained.
Learn me a Bitcoin for beginners.
Bitcoin information and resources.
The bullish case for Bitcoin.

I am an advocate of giving friends a simple assignment to read about Bitcoin first. I have select links on Bitcoin basics to help them understand. That is my initial test of how curious enough they are to know about Bitcoin.

We pick up the discussion from those who return having completed the first tasks. You cannot say you want to know about Bitcoin and your default mode is to be too lazy to read. You'll just be scammed. Doing your own research is studying and finding things out for yourself. And friends who have good friends will continue to provide guidance for their fellow friends until they understand Bitcoin to do some sending a d receiving Bitcoin.

No need, everything is already found in the internet for free. But if they ask me to elaborate more about bitcoin and the crypto market coins, I'm very willing to do it. The problem nowadays is that if you act like you are more knowledgeable and want to share some information, people will only call you a scammer, most especially that bitcoin is still linked to different scams. So it's better to educate ourselves in silence, meaning just do your own research.

Yes Some people may thought we are trapping them to scams. It is human psychology. As many people replied to this thread most people aware of it but there are few people don't know much about it.

In the past, not many people around the world knew about Bitcoin, but in the current context, this currency has become so popular that people from different countries around the world have started investing in this currency. Bitcoin has become a global issue in this year's US presidential election and Donald Trump's positive attitude has had an important impact on this election that people around the world have realized. Although this currency has spread worldwide in popularity but in my country till now there is ban on this currency and till now people are not much aware about this current. So it is not safe to discuss this currency in public in this situation. So in my country we cannot discuss this currency with any friends as it is dangerous to share it between two or more people.

Bitcoin is a currency, an investment and to own it we need money. Bitcoin does not create jobs, it is not distributed for free and investing in it is risky so recommending it to unemployed people is pointless or even harmful to them. Because they may see it as a get rich quick tool and from there come the idea of ​​borrowing money to invest, and that is not encouraged.

Anyone who wants to invest in bitcoin should have at least one source of income and only invest in amounts that will not disrupt our daily lives. It is just an investment that can bring high returns but also has risks, it is not a panacea that can save us from unemployment or poverty...

So far I have not done that because there may be many risks that we will receive, especially in the area where I live, crypto is not yet widely known by most people. If people are open to new things, it should not be that difficult to recognize crypto because the availability of information on the internet is so much that they can start to learn the introduction first. But unfortunately that is not done because people are too worried about the risks and the habit of being in the comfort zone will make it difficult for people to get involved in it.

The crypto community is indeed getting bigger, but few people may survive in it. That's why I don't try to introduce crypto widely to new people because they certainly won't be ready to accept the risk of losing if it is not studied properly and someone's efforts to learn to understand the crypto journey greatly determine the level of success.

[pinggoki]

I still stand on the principle that it's a bad idea to introduce bitcoin or cryptocurrency to them, I don't like the idea that I'm initiating the introduction when in reality, it should go a different way because it helps that you're not burdened that they lose their money when they make a bad decision when they gamble, I mean that's how I'm seeing this but ultimately, my point is that I don't like the possibility that they might blame me for when things don't go their way when they decide to gamble their money away in buying cryptocurrency. Maybe it looks like I'm an asshole when it comes to this kind of stuff but if I'm being honest, I want the peace of mind of not having to deal with people that are asking me questions and such.

Take initiatives? Nah, would glad to explain if they are the one who started the conversion about it and maybe we can exchange a lot of information or maybe educate them base on your knowledge. But to go around and telling Bitcoin to everyone that you don't know if a complete stranger to you, there might be a drawback as we have heard a lot of physical attacks on Bitcoin owners from criminals.

So just be careful on who you talk to let's say in a bar or some other places. Maybe they are not the one who is going to attack you, but someone listening to your conversation and then simply follow you in your house and God knows what this criminals might do to you just to get their hands to you previous Bitcoin.

[michellee]

I took initiative to explain about Bitcoin to others in the past. But they don't think much about the future and willing to do what they did without open their minds that something good can help and change their lives. But after Bitcoin price reach $20k-$30k, I stop to explain about Bitcoin especially to my friends because many of them still not follow what happen in the world.

But when Bitcoin price start to rise and reach more than $50k, some of them came to me and ask about Bitcoin. Well, I just tell what I can and I also tell to them that I already suggest them to learn more about Bitcoin but they choose to leave it like that.

I don't know what happen to them now whether they are join in Bitcoin or still busy with what they do without thinks or open their minds to accept Bitcoin. Bitcoin will a personal decision so we can only explain and the rest will be up to them. We can not force them to join in Bitcoin.
