I have faced the same situation but the other person was not my friend he was a member of our compagin ran by our university,  we spent a week together and he never spoke about BTC and i was like all the time excited about crypto. Well after 1.5 years, like the previous month, i came to know that he was involved in crypto at that time and he was running ads for getting students to teach them about crypto the previous month. So i was like, why would he not share it with me, well then i gave up my thoughts because either we have spent 1 or 2 weeks together i have no right to ask him neither you have any right if your relative or friend wants to hide that information from you it must be due to something.

We all have that kind of friend who never wants to share their success with you, which sadly indicates that they are not true friends so tret them like they tret you and do not sadden your heart. Keep growing and never thought to become like your friend because your nature makes you real, so keep growing and keep that spirit up of teaching others. Because this will make you more educated and that is more important than in being a competition against your friend in terms of knowledge in crypto.

Why would someone try to hide their Bitcoin involvement from their friends that tried to teach them all this while?

I feel somehow about my friend because I just found out that he has been into Bitcoin for a long time, probably before me, what's surprising to me is whenever I tried to enlighten him about Bitcoin he always Shawn me down and say he has no interest..

Today I get to know from a relative of his, who thought that we are into Bitcoin investment together, a coincidence that brings up some suspicious thought, now I am left with thoughts of why he was hiding this all along from me?

At first I though maybe he was scared bringing me along, but it doesn't make any sense because I thought I knew better than him and I needed to teach him.

What do you think is probably ongoing here?

We live in a very dangerous world where your best friend can harm you. I heard a story of a guy who was having a good time with his friends at a bar bragged about his crypto investment. Few weeks later, armed rubbers paid him a visit at his home. After beating him for a while they asked him to transfer his crypto assets to an address they provided or they would kill him. Now... Do you need a soothsayer to tell you that one of his friends was responsible for the rubbery? No you don't. So don't take it personal if your friend choosed to be discreet with his bitcoin investment, I believe he has a very good reason for doing so which could possibly be security.

Privacy being a very obvious reason, so that's the main reason.

Today I get to know from a relative of his, who thought that we are into Bitcoin investment together, a coincidence that brings up some suspicious thought, now I am left with thoughts of why he was hiding this all along from me?

I don't want to speculate on why your friend is hiding it from you, but I'm just curious why you would rather ask us than ask directly what is your friend's reason? Anyways we're just speculating about it for now, while your friend has a plausible answer why hide everything from you.

Nothing, your friend may be more certain his privacy is secure if you never find out that he too is involved with bitcoin.

It is a simple thing, he don't trust you with the information of his investment.  There is no other way than that.  I understand your friend's action since investment should be kept hidden from prying eyes.

At first I though maybe he was scared bringing me along, but it doesn't make any sense because I thought I knew better than him and I needed to teach him.

Let it go, it is only an ego.  It is really embarassing when we act like we know more than a person when in fact the person is way knowledgeable than us.

Your friend loves privacy.  It is simple as that.

You choose to post this on a public forum full of strangers who cannot directly help your real life situation. Your friend is right to keep their business private and not inform you of it.

Privacy, personal safety, possibility of people asking for money... There are a ton of different reason someone, even a close friend, would not tell others about his investments, at the end of the day we're talking about money and people can get jealous or even aggressive regarding this topic. Don't take it personally, that's my advise.

Usually when you enter the world of Bitcoin you start keeping a low profile so as not to compromise your privacy.  In this case your friend may have done this and not talk to you about investing him because he was trying to protect himself.  While you may have made the mistake of exposing yourself.

Privacy and security  is the major reason why their hide their bitcoin involvement afterall, in bitcoin it no one business and since it encourages privacy.

The thing is that, you dont need to tesch anyone who doesn't want to be thought because their hace their own personal reasons not to.

You dont need to feel that way after all Bitcoin is all about privacy and may be ypu should learn that too, not to be overly open and vocal about your bitcoin involvement and the question is that have tou ever try to jntroduce him to the forum or he just an investor?

May be he choose not to tell you because the risk he may be personally passing through,  so many bitcoinairs have faced one risk or the other and some time imeven being victim lf scams.

At this point, I advise you to stop assuming and face the reality of how to mind more of your own business instead of getting overly involved in others' financial dealings.

Easy... They don't want you to know about their stash. It is never a good thing. Maybe you mean no hard to him but you are definitely going to talk about his wealth and some other people with bad intentions might wanna hurt him. Your friend was wise to hide this information from you and other people. I am saying "was" here because obviously he isn't a wise guy anymore because you know his involvement with crypto now. Rich wise people don't show off with their wealth. Doing that will only bring trouble.

Security and privacy 🔏

The person is just trying to play it safe; you both might have been friends for a long time and share things among each other, but that does not mean the person trusts you enough to tell you about their finances or holdings.
 
Don't take it personal; to some point, there is actually nothing too bad about keeping such a thing from you. Friendship is not all about knowing each other's secrets.
