If you are aware that your neighbor living next door is into drug dealing and he come seek your advice how to buy Bitcoin, will you teach him?

What comes straight to mind is embezzling the ill-gotten money, but is this even safe? My other neighbor knows I am into Bitcoin and he learned from me, I guess that's how this other neighbor knew, I told him to go meet the next neighbor but he said he is not ready to teach.

What will you do if something like this is happening around you? Why would a drug dealer want to learn Bitcoin if not for a safer haven for running the business?

My mind isn't settled as I keep thinking different things, what is on your mind readers?

If Bitcoin is legalized in my country, I don't think anything will stop me from teaching anybody about Bitcoin; so far, I will know what such a person wants to learn, which is not a bad thing. So in this case, if my neighbor is a drug dealer and I know about his illegal activity and he also knows that I have an idea about his involvement in crime, I will try and advise him to leave if he understands it, and if he doesn't understand, that is also good, but I know that will never stop me from teaching about Bitcoin. I will not care about what they are willing to use it for because I know the purpose of Bitcoin's creation is a good one. If I decide to have negative feelings about the person gaining the knowledge of Bitcoin, but its purpose is just to invest, I may be getting it wrong, so the best thing for me is to just play my role and teach anyone who is willing to learn about it.

This is a confusing situation you got yourself in. If you refuse to keep your neighbor in the dark about Bitcoin while he is interested in it, you have created enmity between you too. If you choose to teach him instead about bitcoin and he's been caught up with it, using bitcoin as illegal means, you are indirectly guilty as he is because you know what he is into and you refused not to report him to the drug agency to get him arrested.

What you will do in this very case, Tell him to Google and study internet tutorials on how to deal with Bitcoin. By doing this, you will prevent fostering animosity between you two and feeling terrible if he is caught with the police.

First of all, you should report the neighbour to the police, as you yourself said he is a drug dealer. Moreover, is your neighbour too dumb? Nowadays, anything and everything is available on the internet. If he wanted, he could have easily learned about Bitcoins and how to implement them in his business. But he still went to ask you about it. Nevertheless, as a Bitcoiner, you should tell him about Bitcoins, but along with this, warn him about the consequences if he uses Bitcoins for illegal means.

If OP followed your advice, it would be a stupid move because maybe OP only knows his neighbor is a drug dealer but has no proof of it. if OP calls the police, that will only put OP in danger. although the internet or social networks have grown tremendously and finding knowledge online is not too difficult, not everyone can do it. there are still many people who still need the guidance of others when starting to learn something new, not everyone can use computers or technology devices as proficiently as we do.

Op the first question that will come to mind if I had to be in your position on this situation is "what will Satoshi do in such circumstance? Will he go ahead succumbed into bringing drug dealers to bitcoin ? Obvious the answers to these questions of mine is NO. Bitcoin white paper by Satoshi explains it all the real intend of the establishment of bitcoin and not some subway to laundering ill-gotten monies.

Why would a drug dealer want to learn Bitcoin if not for a safer haven for running the business?

This is one of many excuses the government's are using to backup their arguments why they had to restrict or ban the use of bitcoin in their countries. Claiming it's an easy means to starch and launder money by criminals so therefore we shouldn't give the centralized system a loophole to prove their claims by virtue of we going ahead to teach criminals how to use bitcoin. The currency was created for illegal use.
OP he can go and learn from somewhere else but let it not come from you.

There are multiple opinions regarding this but if I were you I will remain clean and act as if I have nothing to do with it when they ask you because it's simple and it's plain, they want to hide their money from the government and they found you as their way to make that happen. when the police will catch them and they will get interrogated, surely they will spill your name with your knowledge of bitcoins to convince the cops and that would be a pain in the ass to set yourself free by explaining to the cops because they most likely don't care and you will need a reliable lawyer to completely free you from that.

Staking one's life at risk while involving yourself with a drug dealer and whatever that comes at the end is a results of teaching a drug dealer. Naturally teaching a drug dealer bitcoin isn't bad why because is another way to promote the max adoption of bitcoin, where you should applied caution is about being arrested with him whenever the anti-drug agencies trace him because having to associate with him shows you are also a drug dealer and there is no excuse to give in other for you to be free any allegations that would be labeled against you. Therefore try apply technicality while involving yourself wanting to teaching him how bitcoin works and operates.

I would say the opposite, but I won't be rude to the OP. Why does anyone even know you're into Bitcoin? Are you spreading knowledge about Bitcoin in your area? Then your tongue is your enemy. Expect two things: either your neighbor will attack you one day, since drug addiction and crime always have the same face, or if you do not want to be in enmity with your neighbor, you will become his accomplice.
Whenever your neighbor has things going against him, he can blame you for not helping him.
The best thing to learn for yourself is not to shout from all sides what you are doing. This is the best guarantee for your safety.

I think if he is a drug dealer for a long period he must know about Bitcoin and how it works. Again they have a group of drug dealing and have many small sellers too. So they might have their own discussion about how to be secured from Administration. Maybe they teach each other's to be safe because if someone of them get caught the whole team will be in danger.

So obviously I will not ever support a criminal to do so. I will leave him with an excuse. He thinks that if he deal with hand cash or mobile banking or any other ways he might be caught and may have some clues to be caught. These people should be warned though he is your relative or a neighbor. Anyway Bitcoin isn't a legal tender till now and that's why I stopped teaching others and try to keep secret about my involved. Still if someone ask me to learn I will suggest to use Google or YouTube for better learning and obviously he must have no involvement in any crimes.

Of course I will teach him how to buy Bitcoins and guide him slowly until he really masters all the knowledge of how to get Bitcoins to how to store them safely. My job is to teach him what he wants to learn, regarding his work it is his business with related parties.

I will not hold back from teaching Bitcoin to anyone who wants to get to know Bitcoin better, who I know intend to learn. I don't want to speculate about various things that are not necessarily true related to the routine activities that he does. What you have in mind is still completely possible, there is no certainty because none of that has happened yet.
Maybe he has relatives or family abroad who are being treated in the hospital, the person asked him to send money in Bitcoins then exchanged to fiat to pay hospital bills or down payment as a condition for further treatment.

Think positively, today he needs your help, maybe tomorrow you will need help from him.

If you are aware that your neighbor is a criminal doing illegal stuff, then you're not comfortable to be involved to that person since he's part of an illegal activities you could just say no. But if you think that might threaten you just simply tell the basic stuff and say "do your own research". There's nothing wrong for any people to join Bitcoin but if it's involve you or your safety just avoid it. We all know that due that Bitcoin is decentralized so it would be hard to trace someone's identity since you are anonymously having a transaction with Bitcoin. So it wouldn't be new for criminal to be interested or using Bitcoin since that way they could avoid being caught. Maybe due to huge amount of money they have it would be suspicious to run a business for them, so they settled with Bitcoin to invest their money.

I will pretend I don't know what bitcoins are because he just wants to use bitcoins for illegal acts.
I don't want to get in trouble for teaching him because if he gets caught by the police, he will tell me everything he did, including how he got to know bitcoin.
Drug dealers want to learn bitcoin because they see that using bitcoin will be safer in transactions so that the money will not go into their bank accounts and no one will be suspicious of transactions made on the bitcoin network.
It's better if we don't teach people who want to use bitcoin illegally and let them try to find it on their own so we don't get into trouble with the regulators or the government.

I think firstly that if you are so scared of the drug dealer neighbor, you wouldn't have stayed in the neighborhood.
I also think the drug dealer neighbor might be looking for a safe haven outside peddling drugs, that's why he asks for your help or he simply want to be able to use the means to launder his funds.

Which ever way it is, it is necessary for him to understand that it would be bad idea for him to try such.
BTC trading is one which might require you to spend some time with the person and might indulge in his drug life style, and I can understand that evil communication corrupts good manners. Be wise!

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)

At this point your conscience must be bugging you and I would say follow what you feel in right to do. But then again that person will eventually learn about crypto and how to use bitcoin even in your absence, so it would not matter much. Maybe you could keep your mouth shut about it and suggest that you stopped using crypto because the cops already told you to - it might scare off this person that the cops might come in snooping in their house too.

At the most, try to involve the authorities in this, dont take the law in your hands.

I usually dont suggest people to withhold knowledge but in this case it does seem that the person will use the knowledge to harm and not do good.

Difficult situation to assess from a forum, wishing the OP all the best in handling the case skillfully without getting into trouble.

You get yourselves into a mess...

No one should know that you have Bitcoin and if someone does (like your wife or your son, not normally a neighbor) they should be discreet enough not to go around telling drug dealers.

But as we say in poker, as played, once the mistake is made, what I would do is minimize the Bitcoin I have, even after a while say that I have sold it and no longer have it, and give the drug dealer the minimum information if it is going to be a problem not to give it to him so that he is the one who learns. He doesn't need you to learn a lot having internet.

He's not just consulting the service of a random guy on the street to teach him about Bitcoin but you, a neighbour he has important information about such as your place of residence and probably your phone number. My advice is if you are very certain he's dealing drugs then stay away from him and do not teach him anything about Bitcoin. He might want to use you to learn about Bitcoin, trading, wallet security, bitcoin mixers and if he's eventually caught up, he might decide to name you as an accomplice. Shit happens and I've actually seen it before. Just stay away.

This is the main reason one should never let anyone know that we are dealing in the Bitcoin. I mean the crime rate has grown a lot these days and you never know who would attack you in anger or intentionally for looting your bitcoins. These type of cases has already happened in the past many times so be aware of such approaches. When it is nearby you its even worst. Better to be cautious about it and keep every secrete for yourself. That’s the best way to avoid such situations as well.

As of now you better avoid him as if he does not exists and let go the situation. Hope so you inform the local authorities as precautionary step.

As long as he gives you free drugs in exchange for the knowledge that seems fair lmao 🤣 obviously just kidding. That just sounds so sketch man, I would avoid that at all costs and tell him you got hacked or something and to seek expert advice 🤔 sometimes you have to fool the fool into thinking you're the fool so you can opt out of his foolish ways.

As I've said earlier, we are not concerned about the means you get the money from, but we can give everyone the privacy he deserves together with the highest level of security when dealing with bitcoin, bitcoin is safe for asset and financial security, because it's decentralized and only you have the control over your wealth.

Teach anyone about bitcoin as long as it is not against the law in your country to use bitcoin as a means of payment, it's ok as long as it's legal in your country.

You can teach him, but you should never teach anything connected with privacy. Just explain about the difference between Bitcoin with fiat or bank, the volatility, the security, how to buy Bitcoin in a centralized exchange etc. If he talk about how to run full node, using mixer, trade in decentralized exchange etc, just skip it and say you don't know about it.

Firstly, he is a drug dealer and he already knows about bitcoin which means he knows bitcoin has what he needs to make his job more convenient. Second, he already knew the OP was an investor. So I think OP should take whatever excuse to refuse, shouldn't teach him even the basics of bitcoin. For me, the safest is still not to have any relationship in the first place, sometimes there will be incidents that we can't foresee when we have a complicated relationship with criminals.

It is better he avoids anything about him entirely. He could just tell him straight to the point for him to online and do a search for it if possible using youtube would be convenient or better still relocate from that neighborhood as it is very dangerous to get entangled with drug dealers.
If reporting to the police would keep him and his family safe then there is no problem about that but if not do not dare for the sake of your family. Here in my country it is too risky to report any of such to the police because if yo do that, they would know you did that and if they are released, they would come after you or even when they are arested, there boys would do the dirty job on you. That's the risk in reporting them. So you had better relocate from that neighborhood or you avoid him entirely.
