I only influenced my parents. They invested and made 3x on it, but I still can't call it a success because throughout the entire investment they believed that I was responsible for this decision they made. And during periods when Bitcoin fell or stood still, they were unhappy. I no longer plan to give investment advice to anyone. This must be an internal desire of a person. Only then does he take full responsibility upon himself, and not look for someone to push it onto.
That's the price of having someone rely on you for their investment, I think that they should know about this kind of thing by now that it's not always Christmas when it comes to investing in the bitcoin market, there's going to be depressing times that would lead to panics and they've witnessed their investments go up already, why are they still mad or upset about you, I don't think that they should consider or even do anymore investments if they're going to be this way with bitcoin. It's unlike my parents, they do want to invest and they know the implications and consequences of bitcoin investing and they're not mad at all and they've agreed to hodl for the long-term, I'm talking about retirement age kind of long-term which is a lot of time to be invested into and I just wish them that they'd get the most profits when they finally sell.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ? What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?
I tried, but they don't seem to believe in the long term holding idea, they must have believed that I am lying to them or they would lose their money, I stopped telling people about Bitcoin, and most of the time I always ended up wasting my precious time.
The only one time I was thanked for telling someone about crypto investment was a year ago, an old friend who did have some trust in me came for help, instead of helping him I told him to risk some money, NAD right away I told him that he can lose it all, still he insisted.
It was not even about Bitcoin, I invested the money on alt and he made 5x of the money, and I gave it back to him, he was very happy, what I did notice was that he was ready to lose that money, most people today call everything a scam, including Bitcoin, you will have peace of mind if you keep it to yourself.

When I first learned about Bitcoin, after learning about the advantages and disadvantages of Bitcoin and the benefits of Bitcoin, after a some month I told a friend about the advantages and disadvantages of Bitcoin, i also told about the high returns on Bitcoin investment. I advised him to invest in bitcoin, but then he only looked at risk and not profit, he didn't want to take risk, I tried to convince him many times that investment in bitcoin has high profit as well as risk, (at that time bitcoin was worth 20K to within 30K) but he did not understand in any way. Then I realized that there was no point in explaining it to him, so I gave up trying to explain it to him. And I continued to invest like myself.
My friend was surprised when the price of Bitcoin broke its all-time high before the halving and then only regretted it. He got confused and said I'll invest now i.e. when bitcoin price is above 70K he decided to invest, LOL. Then I told him that now there is no profit in investing, now the price of Bitcoin is very high. I told him about investing after a few days and after the price of Bitcoin slowly fell when it reached 60K I told him to start investing. He is now investing according to his ability using DCA method.

In conversations with relatives and friends, I mentioned bitcoin a few times, but I never seriously gave anyone investment advice in bitcoin. Because I don't want to be blamed or responsible to anyone because even I myself have no guarantee that my bitcoin investment will be successful. I also don't seem to care which of them has invested in bitcoin because each person has a life and each person has their own choices. I don't like others asking about my life and vice versa, I do that to everyone.
Bitcoin today has become so popular and we can easily see it everywhere. If someone is really interested and wants to invest, they will learn about it themselves without having to ask anyone to convince them.
So far I never introduce anyone about Bitcoin, so the answer is I don't know if I'm capable to convince someone to invest in Bitcoin and don't know what they will do after they invest in Bitcoin.
Teach someone about Bitcoin have many drawbacks:
1. Ruin my privacy.
2. I would get blamed if they loss.
3. Wasting my time and effort.

I keep the bitcoin investing to myself so I can't say for sure that I've convinced or successfully converted someone to invest into bitcoin, I'd love the idea that I'll convince someone to invest in bitcoin though but the only caveat is that they're the ones that will come to me and not the other way around, I don't want to force them to learn something that they only have a vague interest in and we've talked to pass the time, I don't like to be blamed for something because I've forced them into it, that's not really my style.
