I am always careful about convincing anyone to invest in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. Once I read a post here where someone who got recommendation from someone here to invest in Bitcoin threatened to hold the person who recommended her responsible if anything happens to her capital. A lot of persons cannot take risks, but want to enjoy what risks takers enjoy. We just have to be careful who we bring in so as to avoid getting into trouble.
You're smart to be wary. Investing is serious - its about mindset as much as money. Not everyone can manage pressure, and thats okay. But remember, you're a leader. People admire you. Seeing you succeed with Bitcoin shows people whats possible. They'll figure it out without instructions. You're providing information and an example. Thats the best method to help folks make good financial decisions.
