Well, I did already, but not in a situation that urged them to invest like we were selling something. I only share knowledge and necessary things for interested individuals and really have the capability to invest. It is about saying that choosing the right person for this is necessary.

I do wonder how can you know who would be the right person to tell bitcoin to? I mean I do not report all my assets and how much money I have to my friends so they have no idea how much I have and whether I am capable of investing in bitcoin. So, I could only assume that other people are doing this as well. We do not know what people are completely capable of.

Quote

If we think we are done after discussing them, I said no because they will still need guidance until they gain self-confidence and enough knowledge. That is why only a few people got this work, because of our responsibility, and some are even afraid to be blamed once they fail.

That is good of you since you do not just leave them alone after you have told them only a few details about bitcoin. Leaving them alone to fend off for themselves could end up really bad and in the end you may get blamed.

It seems like I don't remember that I told my acquaintance that they bought bitcoin, as long as I always mentioned that they always do their own research, because of course they are better off finding their own attitude.

I actually discover them because they don't want to blame me when they lose or lose its price in the crypto industry market

As many people don't aware of bitcoin and other crypto, do you take initiative to explain about bitcoin to others? I am spreading information and knowledge about btc to others, advantages of btc. I have observed some people showing interest or heared about btc some where. Let's spread the btc world to others, cheers.

I think you need to learn more about Bitcoin before introducing to others because I see you need more learning. Although teaching people Bitcoin is good but if you are well knowledgeable to teach them you are good to go. But then you should try to understand wether such person is really interested in Bitcoin or not. Because most people we claim wanting to learn but are not serious. After teaching they might not be serious anymore.

There is a lot of information about Bitcoin on the Internet now, so for all interested people, it would be right to start their lessons from there. I am not looking for students; I do not impose knowledge about Bitcoin on them, but if someone asks, I will always show a good and complete source, a kind of school where you can get very good knowledge step by step. And yes, this is this forum. I will not tell the news that it is the best for people who are full of desire to learn and communicate slowly. For all those in a hurry, who cannot or do not want to read, there are social networks. I think everyone should become interested in Bitcoin in their own time, the right time for them, and there is no need to rush it if people are not ready yet.

I completely agree with you. There is a lot of information about Bitcoin available on internet and this forum is very good place for people to learn more. It is great that if anyone willing to share what he/s knows with others who are interested. I also like approach of letting people learn at their own speed. Understanding Bitcoin and how it works takes time and effort. With providing helpful and supportive community we can encourage more people to learn about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

I would agree that there are a lot of information on the internet, and If you will go to Google trends,

As we can see, it's almost being search all over the world. And I think people asking is normal, I guess they really wanted to get first hand experience on people who really invest on Bitcoin and they know what's it like.

However, you might just want to share this info to your families or close friends. There are now risks going into public, like theft. So still it's better to maintain our privacy or anonymity and avoid sharing your wallets or how much you have in public.

Yes I introduce it to them but I didn't bother to explain Bitcoin to them so well since don't want to do any hard selling just to make them believe that Bitcoin is good. Its up to them if they do further research since if they show interest and want to learn more provably this could change their life especially if they are starting to earn on Bitcoin and other altcoins out there.

With Internet nowadays, it's easy to search about Bitcoin and with rapid growth of AI, ChatGPT for example, people can ask these AI bots for any question they have and they can receive acceptable good answers as their start of exploration on Bitcoin.

Introduce Bitcoin to them is enough, if if they are fearful enough or lazy enough or both, to don't do their own research and practice buying and selling by themselves with small money first, they can ask you to purchase bitcoin for them on behalf of them. It's risky unwanted task and I don't recommend you or any people doing this. People if are interested in Bitcoin, want to get profit from Bitcoin investment, need to do it by themselves. By this practice, they will understand more about Bitcoin, including risk and it's better for them.

If you purchase Bitcoin on behalf of them, store bitcoin for them, if by any reason that wallet was hacked, you will be responsible for it, and they don't mind to listen to your explanation about that accident.

Really good to spread word about Bitcoin but I choose people I'm discussing it, because its not good to introduce it to close minded people since they might think about you are scamming them. That's why I just point out those basic information they need to learn and its their job to study about it. But for sure there would be a time that people would just learn about it since Bitcoin now is getting lots of attention in mainstream.

Though my current knowledge about Bitcoin isn't as vast as that of experts, I'm already aware of the basic importance of the mother to coin to the current global economy as well as it's future purpose and that's why I've taken it upon myself to introduce as many close folks as possible to Bitcoin. It's my own little way of sharing my knowledge of what I term as "one of the best technological innovations in modern day global economy". I do that with all sense of responsibility that is to say, I personally feel that I owe it to anyone around me who's ignorant of what Bitcoin stands, the need to introduce and explain Bitcoin to them to the best of my knowledge.
Bitcoin solved the issue of decentralization in currency distribution and the fact that it's a digital currency that doesn't need be be physically moved around before it can be used makes it more security friendly and easy-to-use for users of the coin. Of all the people I've introduced Bitcoin to, none have kicked against the idea of using it and that I think goes a long way to tell how Satoshi Nakamoto was able to solve one of the major problems of humanity by creating and launching Bitcoin.

I'm not against people taking the time and proactively introducing bitcoin to those around them, but I think it's unnecessary. Because with the development of the internet and technology today, I believe most people have heard and known about bitcoin to some extent. If they are really interested in bitcoin, they can learn about it themselves or proactively contact you to ask. But if they don't want to take the time to learn about it or ask you, it means they don't care about it. If they don't care, why do we waste time explaining and convincing them?

I will be very enthusiastic and willing to share with people if they proactively ask me about bitcoin but I will not waste my time just to introduce and convince people about bitcoin or anything.

The situation is a bit different in my country. Bitcoin is banned there, and sharing or discussing it publicly is unsafe. We have dozens of friends in a friend circle and we cannot trust everyone in the same way. I have dozens of friends but I only shared it with two or three of my friends. I believe they won't tell anyone about it.

One of my friends bought 70 worth of Bitcoin years ago and it's now over 280 USD and he thanks me for that. I did not ask him to invest, but he did it himself. He had his Bitcoin in his coinbase account which I moved to an Electrum wallet for him. I even know his seed phrases and he trusts me. But I suggested he create a new one and move his funds but he is unable to do it.

I did that in the past but they didn’t want to know about its tech. They only wanted to get rich quick. They weren’t interested in anything else. One of them bought lots of coins with the money he was going to buy a house originally. Then bitcoin tanked and he panic sold his stash because he freaked out when he saw his money got halved… I don’t know the exact story of the other ones but I know none of them became rich because they probably followed a similar path with their trades as my other friend.

Then I stopped caring about it. At this point everyone heard of btc anyway. There is no point in explaining anything to anyone.

It'll not be good if we decided to hide the news of Bitcoin and not share it to others. Bitcoin can help many people hence when there's an avenue to help others know about Bitcoin, we shouldn't hesitate to tell them. Introducing Bitcoin to others will too help make Bitcoin to become more popular and others that haven't invested in Bitcoin would decide to do that and it'll also help increase the value of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin isn't a scam hence you shouldn't be afraid to tell others about it and for those that'll decide to counter you to tell you how harmful Bitcoin is to the economy. Show them some countries that have adopted Bitcoin and how their economy didn't collapse but it's doing alright. Bitcoin isn't a threat to the economy but if can help it because when people have money to spend, it'll help keep the economy operating.

I took initiative to explain about Bitcoin to others in the past. But they don't think much about the future and willing to do what they did without open their minds that something good can help and change their lives. But after Bitcoin price reach $20k-$30k, I stop to explain about Bitcoin especially to my friends because many of them still not follow what happen in the world.

But when Bitcoin price start to rise and reach more than $50k, some of them came to me and ask about Bitcoin. Well, I just tell what I can and I also tell to them that I already suggest them to learn more about Bitcoin but they choose to leave it like that.

I don't know what happen to them now whether they are join in Bitcoin or still busy with what they do without thinks or open their minds to accept Bitcoin. Bitcoin will a personal decision so we can only explain and the rest will be up to them. We can not force them to join in Bitcoin.

Take initiatives? Nah, would glad to explain if they are the one who started the conversion about it and maybe we can exchange a lot of information or maybe educate them base on your knowledge. But to go around and telling Bitcoin to everyone that you don't know if a complete stranger to you, there might be a drawback as we have heard a lot of physical attacks on Bitcoin owners from criminals.

So just be careful on who you talk to let's say in a bar or some other places. Maybe they are not the one who is going to attack you, but someone listening to your conversation and then simply follow you in your house and God knows what this criminals might do to you just to get their hands to you previous Bitcoin.

I still stand on the principle that it's a bad idea to introduce bitcoin or cryptocurrency to them, I don't like the idea that I'm initiating the introduction when in reality, it should go a different way because it helps that you're not burdened that they lose their money when they make a bad decision when they gamble, I mean that's how I'm seeing this but ultimately, my point is that I don't like the possibility that they might blame me for when things don't go their way when they decide to gamble their money away in buying cryptocurrency. Maybe it looks like I'm an asshole when it comes to this kind of stuff but if I'm being honest, I want the peace of mind of not having to deal with people that are asking me questions and such.

So far I have not done that because there may be many risks that we will receive, especially in the area where I live, crypto is not yet widely known by most people. If people are open to new things, it should not be that difficult to recognize crypto because the availability of information on the internet is so much that they can start to learn the introduction first. But unfortunately that is not done because people are too worried about the risks and the habit of being in the comfort zone will make it difficult for people to get involved in it.

The crypto community is indeed getting bigger, but few people may survive in it. That's why I don't try to introduce crypto widely to new people because they certainly won't be ready to accept the risk of losing if it is not studied properly and someone's efforts to learn to understand the crypto journey greatly determine the level of success.

There is no issues introducing bitcoin to them and even at the radio station I try to encourage young people to invest in bitcoin if you don't have a job then you should consider bitcoin because it might just be another good option to comsider.

I feel that anyone who does not have a job should go out and look for one, if one is not forthcoming, they should acquire more skills that will make them more attractive to employers, BTC is not a solution to people who do not have jobs. A person without a job or a skill that can generate them BTC, would probably borrow or take loans to buy BTC, which is never recommended.

Bitcoin is a currency, an investment and to own it we need money. Bitcoin does not create jobs, it is not distributed for free and investing in it is risky so recommending it to unemployed people is pointless or even harmful to them. Because they may see it as a get rich quick tool and from there come the idea of borrowing money to invest, and that is not encouraged.

Anyone who wants to invest in bitcoin should have at least one source of income and only invest in amounts that will not disrupt our daily lives. It is just an investment that can bring high returns but also has risks, it is not a panacea that can save us from unemployment or poverty...

In the past, not many people around the world knew about Bitcoin, but in the current context, this currency has become so popular that people from different countries around the world have started investing in this currency. Bitcoin has become a global issue in this year's US presidential election and Donald Trump's positive attitude has had an important impact on this election that people around the world have realized. Although this currency has spread worldwide in popularity but in my country till now there is ban on this currency and till now people are not much aware about this current. So it is not safe to discuss this currency in public in this situation. So in my country we cannot discuss this currency with any friends as it is dangerous to share it between two or more people.
