Well my friends didn't really understood what I was doing, back in the day when I was working somewhere I told my friends how I found something called bitcoin and I kept bugging them about it (looking back, it really looks cringy the way I did it, but they should have listened nevertheless) and they were always not caring even a bit.
Now that bitcoin went up in price after years of me telling them, they keep telling me I must be rich, well I am not, I usually cash out my profits so I am not rich, I am waaaay better than what I used to be but in no means "rich". I don't work there anymore but I still keep in touch with them and whenever we meet they make jokes about how I am rockerfeller or something but its not that well as we all know.
I have the same experience as you. I used to bug people off about bitcoin back in the days because I want them to earn money as well because we live in a third world company. Basically, I want people around me to succeed together with me. I was telling them that we should do it together. That it's going to be fun and worth it. But all they did was look at me, then smile. It's like I was trying to convince them to sign-up under some multi-level marketing. But of course that didn't really stop me from learning more about bitcoin as they aren't really relevant. I'm not dependent on them, I just thought it would be good to learn something together with other people.
Fast forward, I was able to buy the things that I need and want. I started being able to afford lunch outs (students can't really afford fastfood, they can only afford the cheap ones that are around campus). I was able to buy more gadgets for my family and they started asking me why am I so busy even during vacant hours in school. So I explained it to them. Now, some of them have more bitcoins than I do because they focused in trading and was able to buy good coins in the past. It's funny, really. Although I'm in no way jealous of their success.
This day, I'm the total opposite of when I was a beginner, knowledge-wise and attitude-wise. Before, I would bug off people to learn about bitcoin. Today, I don't even want a single word about it. I'm just done with it. It's nice to know that there are other people around you that has the same interest as you but it gets repetitive at some point and it's just annoying. I think most here are like that too since we're always focused on bitcoin so we want to talk about something else. Something less techy and less about money.
