Topic: A advise to my friend about his decision - page 6. (Read 817 times)

Someone spitting facts here. Hehe. That's not new, i also read a post quite back where OP was saying his neighbor child was kidnapped and to pay the money is it advice able to sell all the BTC? i means the OP was really asking that if they should sell their BTC to fulfill the required money demanded by Kidnapers.

I think this story, is less bold than that. But still, OP did the same thing even if the story is imaginative.

Another story that doesn't seem true, and it wouldn't be the first time that some people use their imagination to try to get some merit. To me, it would be logical for someone to protest because his father left him nothing or left him debts, and for someone to protest because Bitcoin was left to him really makes no sense.

If there is any doubt about what Bitcoin is, can't it be found out within a few minutes using the internet and a search engine? That imaginary friend is therefore a rather unintelligent person if he behaves in that way.

You made the right decision by convincing your friend to accept the Bitcoin given to him as an inheritance from his late father.

But how much is the Bitcoin worth?

I think before you convince your friend to accept the Bitcoin, you should know the worth of the Bitcoin so as not to accept a little token instead of fighting for other physical goods and money inheritance outside the Bitcoin.

Moreover, you can also direct your friend to this forum in order to get direct information and more knowledge about Bitcoin and how to manage it.

A member of the forum can be new but knowledgeable about bitcoin and other tasks that need to be completed. Did you realize that a large number of people are unaware of the presence of this forum but are aware of the methods for storing bitcoin? In other words, just because someone is new here doesn't necessarily mean that they don't know anything about bitcoin. And as you may be aware, a lot of people have already embraced bitcoin, but they are still unaware of this topic's existence. If such individuals join the forum at this time, will they already be novices both in terms of information and the forum itself?


I think the OP accepted the offer since he knew he would earn greatly if his buddies accepted the bitcoins, but this guy doesn't know about it, which is why he is refusing it. I thus believe that the advice they gave him was sound. Additionally, the subsequent father claimed ownership of the bitcoin since he was aware of how it could benefit the guy financially.



Man, you are missing something here, so if you have family and you are a bitcoin investor, you can't tell any of your family members your private key and other necessary things they are supposed to know so that when you are no more, they will be able to get access to it. Nobody knows they are date of death. For if I'm a bitcoin investor, I'll find someone who I trust among my family members and give him my private information so that anytime I die, they can get access to it, and it will not just be there when my family members maybe have some financial issue and I have the money, but because I'm not on earth, they couldn't get access to it. That's not appropriate.

@OP you can be a bad guy by asking him the private key or seed phrase and then you can steal all of his father coins, but you choose to explain him about Bitcoin. Since I believe every human is selfish and always looking for money, this story look 99% fake.

There's a possibility the father don't want to tell anything to his son, brother, sister, wife etc about something that he feel private, like someone who's work as a detective where their identity are completely deleted everywhere and start with new identity, playing with other roles in order to hunt someone.

First time to heard this kind of story, I mean I just wondering why the son didn't know that his father was into bitcoin or crypto? are they not close? So it's very uncanny to me that the son was at lost regarding the inheritance, unless they are strange or not that close.

But I guess he can't do anything about the bitcoins that he got, not sure how big it is, and we don't know what advise you give your friend. Whether to hold on if for a long term or at least wait for the next bull run or sell it right away.

     -      From what I saw when he found out that Bitcoin can be money based on what you told him, he would be really happy especially when he found out how much a bitcoin is now, we just don't know how many Bitcoins he inherited.

Even though we didn't know what you told him in detail about Bitcoin, I'm sure he understood only one thing, and that is that Bitcoin can be converted to Fiat and the rest that Bukof said here, he didn't focus on that anymore . And due to the lack of knowledge it is possible to spend or just use Bitcoin in the wrong way for sure based on your story.

Probablt when he learned how many coins his father gave and you tell him how much did it worth thats why he change his mind. People nowadays ignore something they dont understand but when see its worth their eyes glow. Also you didnt mention any amount in this story?

Your account was newbie means you just created an account here? Or you already have knowledge about bitcoin even without knowing this forum exist?

You have done the right thing, i am agreed with you, Because from what i understand with your post, is: Your Friend had not a slight idea of BTC, He/she might be thinking of it as a scam or useless tokens which might have no value. And when you show him the value of some BTC which you might have, Then he must be convinced.

I hope my father would know about BTC because if he will, he definitely would teach me, i sometime thinks, what if i came to know about BTC back in 2010. I might be rich but for now i am not regretting on that instead moving forward with future.

Don't judge a book by its cover, Evey newbie on this platform does not mean he will be noob in knowing BTC. Well, you definitely spent a long time here so you will have more knowledge then i have or OP have. But, judging others knowledge is not advice able, as from the acts of OP i agreed with him because if he is sharing the true story then there was no need to judge him/her.

Your friend doesn’t need a personal tutor. Nowadays, everything is available on the internet. If your friend had shown some effort to learn about the coins, he could have learned about them in a shorter period of time. I am still wondering how your friend isn’t aware of Bitcoins, whereas his father was (assuming he was old). Nevertheless, if you want to make him understand Bitcoins, then do a basic introduction, like why to choose Bitcoins and its advantages over the banking system. The rest regarding how to create a wallet and secure the coins can be easily found on YouTube.

You are newbie and want to teach your friend. Are you knowledgeable enough to teach your friend?

I doubt any newbiew can teach about Bitcoin and when you are learning, you must be more careful with your words in conversation as if you make mistakes in knowledge, security advice, you don't help your friend but do something harmful.

If your friend inherites it from his father but wants to reject it, why should you engage in?

I am unsure how his dad can leave information about bitcoin private key, seed to your friend and how the lawyer engages in this case. It is risky to share private key in an inheritance document and leave it to a lawyer.

This story sounds fictious.

Many people lack basic knowledge of bitcoins.
 I became interested in this topic when I learned that a friend of mine was so ignorant of bitcoin that he recently received bitcoins from his father, but he had no idea what to do with them. As a result, he tried to reject the inheritance and was spared from having to argue with the lawyer who was reading the deceased father's will, which was being read aloud. Why wouldn't someone, he insisted, give him some houses and perhaps some cash so he could launch a new business?

But while his father decided to give him bitcoins, my friend was furious and even left the house because he believed his late father had given him some money out of hate for him. When my friend came to my house to tell me the story, I encouraged him to collect the coins and learn more about bitcoins, and he was furious to listen to me until I started the show and started explaining it to him. At that point, he was happy and walked back.
