I think I have influenced lots of people to invest in Bitcoin but not directly. I am not someone that goes out to convince people to invest in risky projects. I believe If you want to do any investment, you do your research yourself.  I will only put you through if you have some challenges getting along. But most people who are close to me often get motivated to take that risk. If I can invest i Bitcoin, why won't they?

I am always careful about convincing anyone to invest in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. Once I read a post here where someone who got recommendation from someone here to invest in Bitcoin threatened to hold the person who recommended her responsible if anything happens to her capital. A lot of persons cannot take risks, but want to enjoy what risks takers enjoy. We just have to be careful who we bring in so as to avoid getting into trouble.

Well, I once invited someone, and he managed to own some assets at that time. However, since the price of bitcoin has dropped, I think he has gone out and looked for other investments. Well, he was grateful, but right now, I think he has another job. However, up to now, I don't want to invite anyone, but I just explain what I know. Sometimes, when someone is invited to invest in something, they do something out of line, such as trading with what they can't afford to lose, then blame the person who invited them.
I felt the same way too. I usually tell my close friends about bitcoin way back then, but now I decided to stop doing it because at the end of the day, instead of helping them and be grateful for it, I end up becoming responsible of their losses even if they know from the start that I never fail to warn them how risky bitcoin investment is.
I suggested one of my friend for Bitcoin investment who invested in Bitcoin but since then the price of Bitcoin has dropped significantly. He was patient when I asked him to wait patiently but after waiting for a long time when the investment was not recovered he accepted his loss and withdrew his investment. But the interesting thing is that after a long time he came to me again for bitcoin investment advice. I have encouraged a few others to invest, they have invested in bitcoins and there have been some bitcoin holders. Who are gradually increasing their holdings. But I don't encourage everyone to invest. I recommend investment only to those over whom I have control. Because a small mistake here can lead to big losses. I try so that no one can blame me.
If we influence someone to get involved with Bitcoin, especially close people such as friends or family members are a good choice because they can be controlled and always under supervision, and can easily talk about it because they are close or meet frequently and also based on their wishes.
Apart from that, they also have the enthusiasm to search for and learn all the functions and benefits related to Bitcoin and its traces so that it can keep them motivated. And I also did this with close friends and some of my family members and everything was fine once they knew the risks involved and also the correct way to buy and sell.

Now, I’m still open to talk about bitcoin only when they asked to, but I make sure not to convince or influence them at all. Bitcoin is a complex investment most especially for those who are not knowledgeable about it, hence investing without prior learning acquisition will only go into waste and lose all the capital being risk. Invest at your own risk.

Yes before and unfortunately, I won't do it again. Engaging on investments should be by choice ot initiative to avoid blaming instances. Yes, he maanaged to invest in Bitcoin and other cryptocirrencies. He was so haappy with profit at first however when a dump took place on that year, he paanicked and sold his holdings ending up with huge loss. He blamed me of what happened and was no longer talking to me. Although this does not define other potential investors as well but I conclude it would be better to just share your knowledge to them and let them seek for more information before they decide for themselves whether to invest or not. In such way they'd be aware of the risk and won't only focus on the profit to be earned from engaging into this industry. Risk should always be minded and managed at all times to avoid regrets.

So far, it's only with my parents and I can probably call it a success because they've already turned a 3x of profit because I convinced them to buy a small amount of satoshi to jumpstart their desire to invest into something, they did gave me about $200 to buy and I just did a one and done buy with bitcoin at around 23k if I recall correctly, fast forward to the time that the price peaked to an all-time high and I sold their investment and they were so happy that their mere $200 turned into $600 with just a little patience, taught them now the basics of investing in bitcoin and made them an account in ByBit, now they're doing the investing on their own, I did tell them that they shouldn't trade with their bitcoins though, they're better off hodling and accumulating that bitcoin and then selling it when the price goes higher than when they've initially bought their bitcoin.
Congratulations on your success, although it is not a large amount for the nominal investment made, but the most difficult thing I faced with my parents was that they did not understand it and seemed unsure of what I said, because indeed when talking to parents we cannot easily convince them especially those who do not understand the financial markets or the world of investment, they tend to prefer the business they understand rather than saving on what they do not know, especially if they do not understand what investment is it will be very difficult for us to convince them to invest in any asset other than land and gold jewelry, because maybe they experienced that experience.

I have had several discussion in respect of bitcoin, I was able to tell some interested folks the benefit and the disadvantages of Bitcoin, we discussed very deep about Bitcoin as an investment, most of them were able to open up to me what their setback was but i made them to understand that bitcoin is not for the weak, it is for the people that can stand test of time, know hidden thing in it, everything is open and done transparently but I allowed them to decide on the investment itself, every intending investor should be reasonable his/her actions, Bitcoin has present itself to every investor but then we as individual investors should be the risk bearer, know one should be blamed for whatever happens in the future.

That is nice to hear because not every parent is open to these kinds of investments. Most of them are traditional investors and are not willing to explore into new invesments like Bitcoin.

I guess everyone who has had enough with their friends and relatives that they are not interested on it dont want to talk about it anymore even if someone starts to ask them genuinely about it.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?
Yes, that person thanked me. That's only one and I am happy that out of the many that have asked me how to invest, only 3-4 continued and one of them luckily got the quick profits this bull run. I've already told to that guy BTC on 2017 but didn't do anything until this year.
I was so happy for him that he did sort of a shortcut and managed to earn already compared to the other friends that I have that it took them a lot of time before having so.
I don’t know if you are just simply a great teacher or you just have a very intellectual kind of friends. You are lucky they ended up with good results otherwise they would have blamed you and ended your relationship.

There’s really no guarantee that when you advice someone that they will be able to get something good out of it that’s why I do not really want to do it. Though it would be amazing if my friends became successful at the same time as I am.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?
On the one hand, I really want to introduce Bitcoin to other people because after being involved in the crypto industry for so long I have gained a lot of benefits. But I don't know where to start and what I'm afraid is that the people I invite don't show a very positive response to Bitcoin. On the other hand, I also have to maintain the privacy of my Bitcoin ownership, the more people know, the more threatened my safety will be.
I'm just trying to introduce Bitcoin to my children through videos on YouTube and explaining to them that Bitcoin can make them achieve their dreams in the future if they always invest consistently. It's a bit complicated to introduce Bitcoin to children, but this is the only way I can do to continue the baton of sustainability in what I'm doing now while maintaining my privacy from other people.

You're absolutely right, I think the best thing to do is just to share informations about bitcoin investment  so that let them find out for themselves because if you keep telling them about bitcoin investment and also the risk that is involve, is going to look somehow, that is why i don't influence people to invest in bitcoin rather i will just give you information about bitcoin investment if you're interested first I will ask you to conduct a deep research about bitcoin investment so that you can find out the risk yourself.

Yes we can just share information about bitcoin if the listener wants to hear our words and if someone asks about bitcoin then we can tell them about the desired coin but it is dependent on personal view of whether he wants to do Bitcoin investment or not.

If we give suggestions to someone else to do Bitcoin investment then they will hold us responsible for their defeat but will not say good about us if they win. But it is necessary for you that if you are going to share information about bitcoin with others then share both pros and cons about bitcoin as incomplete information can move them in the wrong decision.

As for influencing, teaching and getting people to invest in Bitcoin, I've never done that. Because it is very dangerous if they experience a loss then we are the ones to blame and this is very painful of course.

However, even so, I have mentioned Bitcoin several times to close friends or relatives, but only to share information that Bitcoin is an asset for the future, not to invite or influence. However, if they are still unfamiliar with bitcoin, I never mention bitcoin for a simple reason, I don't know how to explain bitcoin to lay people. So basically I never invite and influence other people to invest in bitcoin, but only share information and let them find out for themselves and do their own research.

Just tell them the basics and let them do the rest so that you wont really be getting blamed on the time that they will really be seeing their negative ports. Usually
newbies or someone you do know will really be pointing out their fingers on the time that they do lose money. Just like on what been mentioned above by most people that
when it comes to blaming time then we are really that good at it, without even trying out to look and realize on how the market works or on how it do behaves.

If  you are really that wanting for letting someone to know about Bitcoin or crypto then tell them about some basic stuffs and just like been said that it would be better that you
would be telling also them about on the risks involved on losing money because if you do keep on telling them about making money like on assured thing then you would
really be able to have that kind of disappointment on the time that the market will be going to the opposite side.

     when I started here I had never experienced the influence of an acquaintance to invest in Bitcoin. Because I know that they won't understand what I have to say, maybe when I say it they will show that they know more than me because crypto scams are often reported on television.

     So I take it personally and at least I know what I'm doing here in the field industry that I live in. and then I have no obligation to influence them to buy Bitcoin.

It’s risky to influence someone to invest in a volatile investment like bitcoin, but somehow it also depends on how that person will be able to manage the risk and make it succeed. Lucky are you that your friend ended up overcoming all those risks and made decent profits in the end, it simply proves that he understood bitcoin well before he invested on it. However, for those who are just here to invest for quick gains, I’m afraid that once they experience some losses, they’ll eventually put the blame on the person that influenced them to invest in bitcoin.
Actually to influence someone to be in bitcoin I think it's still very easy because we only need to show the portfolio and the benefits we have while in bitcoin then the person will definitely be tempted by that and will try to ask further because in the end the advantage always menajdi someone's attraction when indeed talking about bitcoin.

But the most important thing here and the most difficult is to make them know the risks that will be owned later and so as not to depend on us who invite which makes this a little more complicated to do because in the end when we succeed in inviting people then it is not uncommon for them to continue to ask what to do and as if the inviter is the one who determines their fate to be in bitcoin.

This is not uncommon including to me who once felt that way when inviting someone to be in bitcon. So that rather than me being chased by responsibility for bringing them to bitcoin, I prefer not to do anything for now and just focus on the portfolio that I have without doing anything to others except for a few reasons such as asking opinions or sharing experiences then I still do it.

I haven't influenced too many people to invest in bitcoin and, i think i have a viable reason for that ...
People tend to have a very disgusting mindset - especially those set of people from the rural areas. They'd see everything brought to them like a scam and blame you should anything happen contradictorily.
I keep saying this - if you must invest in anything at all, you must atleast have a good knowledge of what it is and how it works. I remember speaking on the phone with my friend outside the states - and she goes "hey, please could you help me invest and trade my Bitcoins? I've got a hundred thousand"  Tongue imagine that!
