Topic: Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ? - page 5. (Read 1591 times)

As for influencing, teaching and getting people to invest in Bitcoin, I've never done that. Because it is very dangerous if they experience a loss then we are the ones to blame and this is very painful of course.

However, even so, I have mentioned Bitcoin several times to close friends or relatives, but only to share information that Bitcoin is an asset for the future, not to invite or influence. However, if they are still unfamiliar with bitcoin, I never mention bitcoin for a simple reason, I don't know how to explain bitcoin to lay people. So basically I never invite and influence other people to invest in bitcoin, but only share information and let them find out for themselves and do their own research.

Actually to influence someone to be in bitcoin I think it's still very easy because we only need to show the portfolio and the benefits we have while in bitcoin then the person will definitely be tempted by that and will try to ask further because in the end the advantage always menajdi someone's attraction when indeed talking about bitcoin.

But the most important thing here and the most difficult is to make them know the risks that will be owned later and so as not to depend on us who invite which makes this a little more complicated to do because in the end when we succeed in inviting people then it is not uncommon for them to continue to ask what to do and as if the inviter is the one who determines their fate to be in bitcoin.

This is not uncommon including to me who once felt that way when inviting someone to be in bitcon. So that rather than me being chased by responsibility for bringing them to bitcoin, I prefer not to do anything for now and just focus on the portfolio that I have without doing anything to others except for a few reasons such as asking opinions or sharing experiences then I still do it.

I haven't influenced too many people to invest in bitcoin and, i think i have a viable reason for that ...
People tend to have a very disgusting mindset - especially those set of people from the rural areas. They'd see everything brought to them like a scam and blame you should anything happen contradictorily.
I keep saying this - if you must invest in anything at all, you must atleast have a good knowledge of what it is and how it works. I remember speaking on the phone with my friend outside the states - and she goes "hey, please could you help me invest and trade my Bitcoins? I've got a hundred thousand"   imagine that!

Well, it is easy to get someone's attention when you share how you become successful rather than influencing them. Yeah, people just become interested in investing in Bitcoin if they see someone become successful already. Just like my experience in sharing about Bitcoin with some of my friends before, only they will say it is a scam and never believe me but now, they keep asking me how to do that and how much I earn.

People just gain confidence if they see that many are also investing and much more if they see you improve. And found out that most of us are impatient.

There are people who are close minded and there are ones who are open minded too on which we do have friends or known someone who could really be on this type. If you do make out some explanation and telling something about crypto market in regarding into its utility and its potential money making then you would really be able to find yourself having that kind of interest specially for a noob. Who doesnt really want on earning money? For sure this would really be the main concern or interest that we do have in mind on the time that you would really be able to hear up something in correlation with making money.
This is also im that skeptical on telling someone about opportunities such as this because we do know that people do easily make out those kind of blaming when the lose money.

On the time that there would really be someone who do make out those kind of questions for the sake of interest then it wont be bad on making up some basic stuff explaination.
Always be considering about explaining them about the risks involved and let them choose whether they would invest or not.

I made sure that they understand what risk and volatility means and I didn't encouraged them but just explained how the market looks like and for them to have an idea.
The rest, it's all up to them and for that single guy that able to make profit in a short period of time. The timing was just perfect for him as it's before the halving and months ago.
I didn't do all of the explanation, I told him to research and he obliged and that's the fruit of his studying alone the market.

It’s risky to influence someone to invest in a volatile investment like bitcoin, but somehow it also depends on how that person will be able to manage the risk and make it succeed. Lucky are you that your friend ended up overcoming all those risks and made decent profits in the end, it simply proves that he understood bitcoin well before he invested on it. However, for those who are just here to invest for quick gains, I’m afraid that once they experience some losses, they’ll eventually put the blame on the person that influenced them to invest in bitcoin.

Yes, that person thanked me. That's only one and I am happy that out of the many that have asked me how to invest, only 3-4 continued and one of them luckily got the quick profits this bull run. I've already told to that guy BTC on 2017 but didn't do anything until this year.
I was so happy for him that he did sort of a shortcut and managed to earn already compared to the other friends that I have that it took them a lot of time before having so.

I "found" or found out about bitcoin back in 2013 or 2014.  I wish I could remember exactly which year and exactly how I found it, but those details are a bit cloudy.  That said, I was "preaching" from the high heavens about bitcoin long before most people had ever even heard about it.  I never directly tried to influence most anyone but I certainly influenced people indirectly, simply explaining all the benefits of bitcoin and why it was/is such a huge breakthrough technology.

That’s impressive. I’m nowhere close to that figure. I applaud your commitment to grow a bitcoin community in your locality. It’s a selfless service, I’d imagine you would have made a lot of money if you were an influencer for the crypto exchange at the time. But that was not your motivation, seeing your peers grow is much more important to you. In today world, people assume you have something to gain when you are trying to introduce them to bitcoin, they feel you’re getting paid for it or assume that it is some kind of affiliate marketing program.

I can only share my story with crypto, but I will never try to influence someone invest in anything, because I dont want to a) lose friends b) be responsible for their losses. I have share "my story of success" in crypto, what is what, what I did to earn and how things turned, but hardly anyone got interest in crypto. I can highlight two reasons, people dont know and dont want to know anything about crypto, and people think it is too late to invest. They didnt want to wait when bitcoin turn from 20k to 70k, but they wanted to buy it when the price few dollars and sell at 70k.

Influencing is better than forcing someone, and I believe that the latter is the dangerous one, you cab influence someone but it still depends on them to make a step which to me is still fair enough, but forcing someone to invest in Bitcoin will surely lead to many discomforting results.

I have influenced two beautiful souls in the past, they took no steps until they noticed that Bitcoin is changing my life every year for the better, they got jealous I believe and they came back asking for more information, today they are still investing in Bitcoin and it's been over five years already.

They are both out of the country now, they both reside in the UK and things are going fine for them, but I have had more bad results after these two, many never come back as they feel it is too risky to bet money on the success of Bitcoin, most of them still believe that Bitcoin is surviving on a borrowed time, that one day it will vanish.

There is a difference between introducing someone to bitcoin and influencing them to invest in it. Knowledge will never be superfluous, even if it remains without practical application. You can tell your loved ones what Bitcoin is, how to use it, and even leave them your secret phrase in case something happens to you. But it's a completely different matter to take responsibility for the fact that someone bought Bitcoin on your advice. I personally believe in the growth of Bitcoin and consider it an excellent investment in the modern world, but I cannot be sure that those who follow my example will also perceive it like that and will be prepared for long waits or even temporary losses. Investing is a decision that a person must make personally, and not according to someone else's instructions.

Not everyone will be enthusiastic about Bitcoin investment. Moreover, it is not possible for me to inform everyone about Bitcoin. But I have some close friends or close relatives who are still not well versed in Bitcoin. If they knew about Bitcoin they would have invested. As I know little about Bitcoin, I will try to give a general idea about Bitcoin to those who are close to me. If they are motivated and interested in investing, I will suggest them to invest. But I won't teach them only the positive side of Bitcoin and the idea of being profitable from it. I will try to explain to them that investing in Bitcoin can lead to losses or that it is a very volatile currency with the possibility of losing money at any time. If they agree then I definitely want to encourage them for investment.

I influated my most of friends but I don't know they invest or not because my rich friend don't share any investing history to us.
Maybe someone did it who wanted to keep it a secret.

It would indeed be quite good for the family if they were united in joining one field in order to be successful together. But in cases like that, I have also seen that there are also families who don't want to follow one field even though one of their family members has been successful in a certain way. Because in each family there must be different levels of knowledge and not just in one area, so these differences will give rise to other areas which can also be quite beneficial for the family.

Most people will be like that when they see one of their family members who has been successful through crypto so they have the desire to continue following them until they really can and master all the knowledge related to crypto. But in terms of achieving success, we also need to look at other people, even if we won't follow them directly because they are not from our own family, but as long as the other person is already quite famous in the crypto field and has also been quite successful in that field. I think it wouldn't be wrong to see how that person can be successful even though we don't have direct contact with that person.

I have successfully influenced so many people and I have lost count already, some I can't say if they are still in the game or not and a few that are closer to me are still buying some Bitcoin right now.

I remember someone thanking me about Bitcoin investment and I couldn't even remember when I helped them out, I have so many contact on my telegram account and I believe this a good way to spread words about Bitcoin, some will like it and some will hate it.

With the situation of the economy in my country right now I doubt I could turn anything around if Bitcoin never exists, all thanks to the creator himself, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Discussing your finances to any one be it family or a trusted friend is like putting a target on your back. You become a human bank where your only relevance is to dole out cash or someone they can easily set up to rob from. Humans are inherently greedy and as such, can go to any lengths to get money so exposing yourself and your holdings easily puts you in danger.
To be honest Bitcoin is not for everyone so it's not a priority that everyone must get what you are trying to pass across even if it's a more preferred way of ensuring your privacy is intact.
 Some people regard Bitcoin as a product of the end time, a means in which the New world order would unify the nations so how can I convince someone with such a mentality that's it's not?

I have influenced quite a number of people to buy Bitcoin that I can't remember how many they are, I once convinced over 100+ people to sign up for a local Bitcoin exchange when the wave of cryptocurrency just come into my country. Alot of them bought Bitcoin and they have been grateful since then but not all made profits because of greediness and other factors that caused them to lose the Bitcoin or sell too early. The most recent successful influencing happen to my cousin that was finding it difficult to get herself a good playing job after finishing the university. I thought her about the industry and she has been doing well for herself that she no longer have financial challenges to some extent in her life.

Some challenges are there when you tell people about Bitcoin, not all of them will want to buy so you don't have to force them to buy because doing so you'll be giving them the wrong impression of the market that its like MLM that you have to bring someone in order for you to get paid. You are also making yourself vulnerable because they will always harass you when they don't make profits which the fault is always because of the things they did but you'll be the one to receive the blames. There's a good feeling if you successfully influence someone and they get the benefits of buying Bitcoin and the industry overall.

I don’t think I can remember if I did influenced someone who later came back to say thank you or reference me but sincerely, I think most persons who easily influence others so so without actually saying a word and most times, their ways of life always attract people to them, wanting to know how they make their money.

One of the reasons why people don’t invest in cryptocurrency lately is because of lack of fun, and personally, I believe a lot of people who know about bitcoin aren’t even investing or holding now because a lot of them lack finance to buy and hold and eventually miss out from the benefits and rewards cryptocurrency offers and I think I’ve written a thread stating that, “Having all the necessary knowledge about cryptocurrency and not having the money to invest, is also a waste, as both money and knowledge compliment themselves
