Topic: BITCOIN: Give people time! - page 5. (Read 1097 times)

In this case, people actually need time to accept things that are considered new. Moreover, these things are not real objects that can be held and stored, and have the right legal force, like the others. That's why, for ordinary people, Bitcoin is just like a hoax, if they don't really learn about it. But if you look at your uncle, I think he is someone who is open minded and quite wise with new things. Indeed, ideally, one does not have to believe something new and immediately be interested in spending money to invest. No, it should have been in the beginning, someone like what your uncle did, namely doing research first and studying it to understand it. This will be very wise because after all, one must open himself up and increase his knowledge about Bitcoin before making an investment. This will reduce the high risk later. With understanding and the right time for someone who is new to the world of crypto, this will actually be more suitable and wiser to enter in it.

Yes, you are right and I totally agree that we shouldn't simply or immediately assume other people who disagree with our explanations or ideas about Bitcoin are stupid people, don't want to improve their finances or people who can't keep up with digital developments.
Everyone has their own opinions, beliefs and conditions. So we must respect whatever that person's response is. We don't deserve to give inappropriate judgment to others just because they don't agree with or reject our ideas about Bitcoin, because we ourselves definitely don't like it when others underestimate us.
We will never fully know their condition and whether they are really ready to accept Bitcoin, let the decision to believe in Bitcoin or the intention to adopt Bitcoin come from themselves or their own desires not because of someone's influence or coercion.

Yep. If we already tell people about the truth of Bitcoin, we should give time to them to understand it themselves. Don't force them to involve in Bitcoin directly, it is not the right way! People need to take their own research first, then they will gradually understand what the Bitcoin is. Most people only know Bitcoin from the FUDs that they ever heard. So, they need time to prove the FUDs are incorrect, they will realize it through their own research.

Sure. Even if we force ourselves to preach the people the whole day, it doesn't guarantee to succeed. It even makes the people hate us because we looks forcing them to involve in Bitcoin. Our main goal is to share the Bitcoin information, we don't force people to invest or to trade Bitcoin!

There is no compulsion to join Bitcoin. People invest in Bitcoin or trade Bitcoin because of their own intentions. The decision to join Bitcoin must come from the self awareness of the people, it can be from their own research. When the people join Bitcoin according to their own research, they will have a strong fundamental to hold Bitcoin. It is different if people join Bitcoin because they follow the hype only. These type of people are probably easy to give up and decide to leave soon whenever they experience the dumps on the Bitcoin price.

This right here is the best way.
Good thing you told him about Bitcoin and allowed him to make his own decision. Now he is investing not because he was coerced to do so but because he has seen the benefit of Bitcoin by himself as he sees a need to invest.
If he has truly done his research then he understands the risk and the need for patience.

There is no point in making it look like people who don't buy the idea of Bitcoin are not smart or intelligent. Not everyone would buy into an idea.
People should make decisions because they feel it's the best decision at the moment for them, not out of peer pressure or any other reason.

Yup, we have to give them time as we're all free to think if we should buy Bitcoin or not. We don't have to force people into buying it and if we've told them already what they should be doing like buying bitcoin when it's cheap, that's more than enough. I've got similar stories but I am just keeping it to myself due to the early frustrations that I've taken but, that's a lot of experience to learn and we've got our own ventures and styles with investing, whether it is for ourselves, our future and anything that lies to our own decision making. People will realize it that they're quite late into investing even if they're not. We've been telling a lot of them that they're still in the early phase and the market still has a lot of room to grow, never listen to skeptics.

indeed, before encouraging people to be invited to invest in bitcoin.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being able to provide important information about how to invest in bitcoin.
provides an opportunity to get to know more in advance, even though investing in bitcoin is certainly very profitable.
but we know that the movement of bitcoin is very difficult to predict.
you are right; if the price is corrected and he panics, it will make his investment lose money because he has not sold it on time.
It is always wise to introduce something new to those who do not know it in detail.

You handled it well by not pressuring him into Bitcoin after he declined during the explanation. This approach is key to persuading others and promoting Bitcoin. If someone else can benefit from its volatility, that's not a problem. It's even more rewarding when those close to us can earn a good sum. However, it's important to present both the positives and potential risks of Bitcoin. Encourage him to research on his own so he can make an informed decision.

I also agree that we should not take the job in promoting Bitcoin openly since it can have risk if ill-intended people hear us, but in a circle of friends, we cannot deny the fact that unknowingly we are excited to share Bitcoin and boosted about how Bitcoin has the potential to help us.  I believe many of us here love to share the source of blessings they had to their family, relatives, and friends that they are very close with.

But as we share the good news with our friend, we must not be in a hurry, interest and development takes time.  Unless the person we shared with has full trust in us and is open-minded, they will definitely have second thoughts because the information is new to them.  Pushing them to do things will also turn them off and they will think that we are pushing them because we can earn money from them, and a misunderstanding may occur.  So let them take their time and have their decision by themselves.

We know btc is good investment because we have done research about it and have faith in it but if we push someone towards making investment in it without even doing their own research then they will be under the panic sellers when prices fluctuates due to volatility.So for any investment we must take necessary steps like understanding about it and why it would give you return.

My approach is basically telling people what Bitcoin is and how it can help them in their businesses and also the opportunities it present for people who want to prepare for the future. I do encourage them to start building their portfolio because I have the belief that Bitcoin will grow massively on the near future given the line up of events that support rise in price.

Of course, I will always advise them to do their due diligence nefore venturing into Bitcoin as that is necessary for all business activities.

I would really not make myself that pushy or really that forcing out someone to know or pushing themselves on learning on what is Bitcoin or crypto which i wont really be that too desperate when it comes to this matter on which it would really be just that right that if ever they would really be raising up some question then thats the time that you would be answering and just simply explaining them with the basics. It would be understandable that each person or human being does have their own perceptions and beliefs when it comes to things on which it would really be just that so normal that there would really be those people who would just not put attention or doesnt really care and there are those people who are really that showing that curiosity.It would actually vary and would really be depending because if we do speak about peoples attention but in overall, we do know that recognition and adoption is on the move and something that cant be stopped.
Doing via with these simple steps might be able to contribute but im a type of person who doesnt really like on explaining things on people who arent that interested most of the time specially my
friends and some random people.

This has never been about introducing bitcoin to anyone or anywhere. Bitcoin has always been charm around the internet and there is always direct and indirect publicity of the Bitcoin. Why? That’s because Bitcoin has become internet session with the time and trend of searching Bitcoin or Blockchain terms has gone up recently. It’s good that you are suggesting it to others but sometimes I am feeling we should not take the risk to do this. There are pros and cons in this one. As Bitcoiner I am no one to suggest this but it can be bad if that person is not able handle the Bitcoin volatility and lose money in the process. However, always best to take the steps cautiously and win the game.

It is what it is. Personally, I've met and talked to quite a few people who are either indifferent about Bitcoin or completely against it. I'm not going to even attempt to convince either of them that Bitcoin is a worthwhile investment that will ultimately pay off. Chances are that the majority won't even care to do their own research because they've already formed their opinion based on someone else's or something they read. Thus, spending time to persuade them of the opposite is up to no good. On top of that, I don't actually care what others believe; Bitcoin has been around for quite a while. Those who believe it's worth investing will hop on the train; the rest will simply miss it. Not my problem.

I have seen from a long time that when you share good things with other people including friends, they don't care about you. But when you become successful and get financial freedom, your friends and the rest of the people you talked to about Bitcoin will be jealous of your success.

It is better to stay away from such people who do not want to spend time in learning and do not want to acquire knowledge. It is better to stay away from them, because the laziness that is in them will come to you if you stay with them. Let them live their lazy lives.

       -     When I was new to the Bitcoin business industry, I was also very excited about Bitcoin, it even came to the point that even if my friend didn't ask, I would open Bitcoin to him, then I would see that there was no interest, of course when I noticed that, he said I don't think what I'm doing is right. So after those events, I will never do it again.

Because Bitcoin is really only for those who are interested and are making a way to find out how it can help every person who believes in it. That's why it's still good to learn your own way to know Bitcoin.

I agree with this, there is no better example or explanation than to show them the results we get when we invest in bitcoin. And that's the way I'm using it, I find it a waste of time if our investment hasn't produced positive results and we're trying to share it with everyone. Even though we mean well to them, they will disregard what we say.

I have been talking about bitcoin with my brother since 2017, but I was even poorer than he was at the time, and he ignored what I wanted to share with him. But in 2021, my bitcoin investment has made a significant return and I don't want to brag, but I am many times richer than him.
And now, he has listened to what I have to say because he wants a lot of money just like me. Although he has missed quite a few opportunities over the years, he still has a chance to get started with bitcoin.

The best example for people to become interested in Bitcoin will be your success. Although I stick to a more modest way of life, I don't like people who shout at every corner about how they made a profit. However, on our forum, I often see people who sincerely want to interest their loved ones or neighbors in investing in Bitcoin. Based on this, you will always be able to catch a person's attention with Bitcoin by showing what advantages they can get if they have witnessed your previous life and how it has changed.
But if you have nothing to be proud of, then leave time for people to grow up with their interests.

What do you think about this?

It's true, everything needs a process and one thing we need to know, it's not easy to get other people to invest in btc, let alone for someone to spend a large amount of money to enter the market. Yes. Of course, you tell about your belief that you have gone through it and are seen as successful. of course, by showing the results of your work acquisition for example last year. Yes. good effort from you slowly.

it's all about taste and than continue to do/ experience and the last thing you believe that BTC is a Good Investment.

It's really good that your uncle is interested in learning about Bitcoin. He probably had no idea about Bitcoin when you first told him about it. For which you disbelieved the conversation you had with him about Bitcoin and refused to invest in Bitcoin. But maybe your uncle called you after a long time to get more confirmation from you. Maybe he has known about Bitcoin for a long time and after seeing various information about it, he believed Bitcoin and became interested in investing. It's true that the time you gave him about Bitcoin made him interested in investing. Time must be spent to educate a person about Bitcoin and after telling him all about Bitcoin, he will eventually believe in Bitcoin and invest.

Many good things in life can really take time to spread and be popular...and I think the same thing is true with Bitcoin. People will not just go on board most especially if it involves them shelling out some hard-earned money from their own pockets. Of course, maybe if you are just airdropping some amount of BTC to their wallets then the picture can be different...just like what we saw in El Salvador. When we talk to people especially those who are close to us, it is important that we present the facts especially the possible rewards and corresponding risks involved...and we should always tell them to make their own research or due diligence before contemplating on converting their money to BTC. I am happy to see that you have done your own assignment well.
