Your story is almost similar to mine. The first time I went into the crypto world, my parents did not believe it. And when I started making some money, they immediately supported me. That's when I got excited and until now crypto is still my choice in investing. And as you said, focus on our passion, and show what we can get.
actually it is me who don't believe bitcoin the first time i heard about this,when it was introduced to me by my uncle?i told him that don't get to close because it is scam,but after he shared his trading works and the profiting he have?also His wallet filled with Bitcoin and the conversion in our local money?i fell inlove and starts to learn and research.so after a month i entered this and bought my first Bitcoin and the following Bitcoin is those i earned from the campaign and Bounties.
Well, look at you now. Believing and making your own money with the knowledge you know. There are actually lots of people who don't still believe in the goodness of bitcoin. The first thing that comes into their mind when they hear about bitcoin is that it is a scam but we the users, traders, and investors can prove it to them on how actually good bitcoin to use and to buy.
Possibly it is the silence before the storm, I think that Bitcoin's community or crypto in general in a continued progress and despite the bad attempts of the governments in order to destroy this technology, they even control the media but despite all of these obstacles, the era of crypto is still strong and developing in silence, we all know that there are many caracteristics of Bitcoin like , no exploition through a low value of fees..ect, and unfortunately the opposite is true for FIAT. That's why most of people are trusting Bitcoin more than their main coins.
Bitcoins have showed us immense growth and also the technology is quite advanced as compared to the normal mean of payments. Cryptocurrencies are already been experiencing a huge lot of surges which makes them low at the national financial level of currency but yet, bitcoins are been considered on the top rank in terms of earning a stable income, making some extra money and even some major coins have now started entering the mainstream payment systems. This might show us that the future for bitcoins or any other coin might already be beneficial for the community and even after the news from government of negative impact of media, cryptocurrencies would keep on developing until a new era.
As time passes by, many people are now believing with bitcoin because they have seen the growth of every user and they have also seen how good it to use. Some are making investments with bitcoin and some are making trading to earn some money, some are using their knowledge by joining a particular signature campaign and promoting it in a particular social media platform. Bitcoin is silent as of now but when you look at the market it is recovering and hitting again slowly, I recommend to keep on supporting bitcoin and continue what you are doing. We are all hoping that after halving happens, it will affect the market so hard that it comes back again to its wealthiness.
