What should you know before recommending Bitcoin to a friend?

[goldkingcoiner]

There are so many information spreading about it, if they didn't pay attention on Bitcoin existence. Even if they know it exist, then I guess they are not truly interested to learn about this coin.

So I really understand you, towards you don't want to be blame on that matter. Since I experience that situation, then that make me realize its wrong to suggest this one, to people thinking about they can earn easy profits.

Yes, in the long 17 years from 2009 to the present 2026, people around the world have learned a lot about Bitcoin. Right now, those who know or those who have not tried to learn will never try to learn about Bitcoin again. So trying to convince all these people is actually a big mistake. Creating interest in those who do not express interest in Bitcoin is foolish. If for some reason all these people follow someone's suggestion and invest and for some reason there is an accidental loss, then you can consider what the situation of the person who gave the suggestion might be.

Honestly right I think it appropriate to just tell them about bitcoin both the risk and the benefits and not try to actually convince them about what bitcoin is and how it could be of a benefits to them because that will get their hopes very high that they would always see bitcoin as a risk free investment and a certainty to profits after hold for a long term. After we do our due diligence and telling them about what bitcoin is then it left for them to think about what to do with it either they will try to invest or maybe they find it something risky but we should always make sure we tell them the risk part so we won’t be blame at the long run.

I agree. If you hide the negative things about it and only tell them the positive things, they will be very discouraged once they find out and might even stop supporting Bitcoin alltogether.

People appreciate the truth, even if it is an uncomfortable truth. Hiding things from them on the other hand will result in anger, disappointment and frustration.

I think that is also why doctors prefer to be straightforward instead of sugar coating.

An honest person is also far more trustworthy in the eyes of the people who they give advice to. So it is a matter of protecting both Bitcoin's as well as the advice-givers reputation.

Yes, you are right. You will advise your friend to invest in Bitcoin for his own good, but if he suffers a loss due to a small mistake, he may also ask for compensation from you. Although compensation is not a big deal here, the trust that was in the friendship can be lost. So you are not completely wrong. If someone is interested in learning about Bitcoin from you for his own interest, then you can tell him in detail.

But I think we should gradually give our trusted people an idea about Bitcoin. In this, they will also find a new way to become financially independent along with us. And when you want to give an idea about Bitcoin to someone new, it is necessary to tell its risks and disadvantages first compared to its advantages, so that if the new ones are scared at first, they will gradually learn about Bitcoin. The situation you mentioned is absolutely correct. But still, if I have to give an idea about Bitcoin to someone new, then I will tell them its risks and disadvantages first.

In my case, I do not feel the need to give advice because I do not want to get into a situation where I am in danger by giving advice to friends who do not have any knowledge about Bitcoin. Since Bitcoin is a risky investment, if I advise them to make this risky investment and they fall into losses after investing, they can directly hold me responsible for it. Moreover, they have to be very aware of the preservation of their Bitcoin wallet. Moreover, if they are not aware of the Bitcoin wallet, then for some reason, if the people I suggested to invest in lose their Bitcoin forever, they can blame me for the rest of their lives. So I do not want to create a situation where I blame myself by advising my friends.

I get your point,most bitcoiners are avoiding being blamed for introducing bitcoin to their friends.The most interesting thing about mentoring an individual about bitcoin is when they are willing and give a 100% interest about bitcoin in the first place,the individual could be your friend or relatives.A person that walked up to you and asked you to mentor them in their bitcoin journey is quite different from you walking up to them and pressuring or convincing them to join the bitcoin ecosystem.Probably,along the line the person that asked you to mentor them in the bitcoin community had negative outcomes in regards to their holdings,do you know that the blame wouldn’t be hefty compared to the person you convinced to invest in bitcoin.

Since people can do anything for money these days, it is best to keep your holdings as private as possible. If you discuss your wealth in public, someone else may find out, which could put you at risk. You should be cautious about your security because we have witnessed numerous instances of people becoming extremely destructive for financial gain and even committing crimes like kidnapping.

There is no assurance that everyone will interpret your remarks favorably. You are discussing your possessions in public, which may make people more envious because people are unable to see the positive aspects of others and it is impossible to know what is going through someone's mind. Therefore, avoid discussing your accomplishments in public too much; the more private you are about everything, the more secure everything will be for you.
