Topic: Do you tell your friends about your crypto achievements? - page 5. (Read 680 times)

Nope, unless they bother to ask me. Honestly, I want to keep everything in secret, maybe the closest friend whom I feel can be trusted.

That seems an option and of course, your decision. Sometimes we got proud because of our success and wanting to help others and share ideas but keeping it secret give you some security.

I used to years ago, after 2018 i just lied that i lost it all in crashes and exit scams. I don't know if they believed me but they stopped asking. Only my closest friends are aware what i do and since i am paying taxes from them, basically anyone who really wants to know could see it as taxes are transparent in my country.

first of, be careful the people you call friends, secondly it is generally not advisable to talk about your successes (earnings) to people even to the people you call friends all the time, it may breed jealousy which may become dangerous.

But as for trading strategies that worked for you, so far your friends are traders as well and can apply same strategy to make profit, i see no reason why you can't share such with them especially if you call them friends. Sharing your strategy with them will not stop your own from working, also remember that tables change in life, you may decide to hoard your strategy now and maybe later in the short future, your strategy begins to fail.. You may need someone's help to point you in the right direction.

Stopped speaking about cryptos, including trading with most of my friends. They just follow main stream news and ultimately don't understand cryptos. They were always happy when cryptos "crashed" and speaked about illegal use, tax evasion etc when I said how well things can go... I only speak with a few who know how things work This way everyone sleeps better 

The question is why I should tell them? Flexing habit is really bad, you don't get anything when you tell your achievements to your friends. Except you're an influencer and have own referral to earn money, but the risk is your identity and also your family. You need to know, most of relationship ruined because of involved, if you want to have long term relationship, better to stay calm. Only dumb person is wanted to show his earnings to anyone.

Your friend can believe more in the way you earn if you are actually earning from trading, he would want to know about it from you if your way of living is good and making money from trading. What I know is that you can't tell friends a lot of things about you, a friend can become the person that may be able to look for way to compromise your wallet or trading account. About your strategy, there is no harm if telling your friend about it, but not about how much you earn.

Only to a few whom I trust.

I do share it but as I've said, only to a few that I really have my trust. It doesn't have to be with everyone that I'm friend with but it's okay to share it with those that are also in the same thing that I do for which, they're also investors and traders. About achievements, they're also sharing as well so I share mine just to keep it up. But if it's those with people whom I just known, I'm not telling them everything.

To be honest, I am not comfortable in sharing how much I’ve earned in crypto to my friends no matter if it’s in real-life or in social media. Why would I do that? To prove something to them like a “not to brag, but to inspire” statement?

While I see most of my crypto friends on Facebook are crazy enough in bragging about their crypto earnings every day (like they can’t live a day without bragging so much), I just remained silent and staying low key. In fact, I am technically inactive on Facebook since the beginning of 2022. In other words, I’m just a silent reader.

Coz’ if they keep doing that, one day karma will return to them. They might be targeted by scammers, criminals, etc., later on in stealing their money and other possessions. Not only that, some of the social media friends might reach out to you to borrow them money on a consistent basis.

And yes there is already a case that a woman was bragging about her crypto earnings, and then one day some men declared a holdup to her early morning in the street, assaulting her and get away with her possessions and important stuff.

Back then, all I am sharing is just my travel experiences, news updates and videos about cryptocurrencies, etc., and not how much I’ve earned, etc. If they do ask me one day in private, I’ll just educate them and not showing my exact earnings to them.

Do you tell your friends about your crypto earnings and trading strategy?

Sometimes it's hard to keep it to myself, but at the same time, I don't want to share my trading lifehacks.
Do you share with your friends?
