Until now I'm not sure that I was successful in recruiting anyone to bitcoin because I feel that even though it's very good to introduce bitcoin to some of the closest people but suggesting a situation that is a little complicated for them without any confidence that they have is obviously going to burden us ourselves so I just gave a little advice to some friends or closest people whether they want to be here or not it's up to them I don't want to go further so I don't know if it's a form of success or not.

I in the last few years just focus on myself to make me better so when people ask me about bitcoin then I will answer as much as I can but I never give advice very explicitly that someone should be in bitcoin because I think it is not in my qualifications because I am too afraid to be responsible for the recommendations that I give to some people who sometimes just want to be told but do not want to learn more and just hope to continue to be guided to do something.

I asked some of my friends to buy Bitcoin last few years but there were few people who took my word positively but most of them were not willing to take such a big risk by investing there. But eventually my success and the rise in the price of Bitcoin made it very attractive to those friends. They come to me and know it intimately. I made it clear to them at that time that there is no guarantee that there will be only profit in the investment. Losses are also a possibility. I also shared the negatives with them so they wouldn't blame me later. I can advise a person but not willing to risk his investment.

I have explained to many of my closest friends to invest in Bitcoin. I can't recall exactly how many of them invested, but I assume 30% were convinced to invest, and I managed to secure Bitcoin for them to buy. A few of my friends were easily convinced when they saw my success. A few of them refused, and they think it's out of reach now. I tried to convince them about reality, but they weren't interested. For me, I don't want to force anyone. I often explain positives and negatives as well. I am not ready to hear any blame later in case Bitcoin gets dumped. I can just share the potential of a Bitcoin investment, including potential risk as well.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?
I can’t really remember if I have asked anyone to invest in bitcoin before, I hardly relate with people, but I know multiple people have come to meet me and asked me to teach them about bitcoin, and I did. I told them everything they are supposed to know, and in case anything happens to their investment, they shouldn’t blame me for that, they should invest any amount they can afford to lose so that in case anything happens, it’s not really going to affect them. But I don’t really think I have walked up to anyone before asking them to invest in bitcoin.

2. I would get blamed if they loss.
If you are introducing anyone to bitcoin, you don’t have to force them to invest, allow them to conclude that they want to invest, and make sure you tell them how risky bitcoin investment is. You shouldn’t be emphasizing on the profits that they can make alone, you should let them know that they can lose money too, so they should invest any amount they can afford to lose, and they should invest at their own risk.

I like the way you specified the question asking whether someone among us influenced someone else to invest instead of saying requested to someone else to invest in gambling.

Yes, I have introduced my closest friends through the past years to the bitcoin world, I kept talking to him on how amazing and different the transactions happen in bitcoin and how easy they process compared to the traditional banking procedures. I have been talking to him about bitcoin ever since I got profits from it, I didn't intend to influence him or make him do the same things I do or even advise him about bitcoin as a piece of financial advice, but because we hang out frequently together he got influenced by that world.
He ended up investing in bitcoin all by himself and got some profits from it too. It honestly made me happy about it because I could give a good image and a healthy influence to a friend.

I did influence a friend, who later became a hodler. He bought bitcoin close to a year after me and holds most of it to this day. AFAIK owns around 10 BTC.
He never really thanked me for that but acknowledged it in a way because we talked about it a few times and he was happy how bitcoin turned out and I reminded him who told him about it and that prompted him to respond that he's happy we had this conversation back then blah blah blah, so I guess that could be compared to a thank you.

I wonder how the conversation you guys had after the investments would be if his investment hadn't worked out.  Grin

That would make you feel super awkward even to meet him or initiate a conversation about Bitcoin, whenever you were around that friend, you would hope and wish that no one should mention cryptocurrencies or Bitcoin because that would remind him of his investment and that you were the one who suggested it to him.

These are the things that make me refrain from doing such things because even though I know Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can be profitable in the long run, I also understand the risks involved and that if someone becomes a reckless investor or trader, the blame would be on me since I was the one bringing them to it in the first place.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?

I did in my early days on cryptocurrency I did influence someone to invest in cryptocurrency and become a trader, he was my friend before in college and we really had a good time on cryptocurrency, since I told him about it we kinda get interested on it and at the same time earning a huge amount on it even though we were just student that time, one thing that I seen is he was really doing the research on it that is why he was able to make a good income on it and eventually being able to do it on there his own. He was thankful for sure about it since we both didn't imagine that we were gonna be able to earn that kind of amount at that time.

Telling someone about cryptocurrency and being able to help them was surely a good feeling, but I realize that you shouldn't really encourage people to invest in Bitcoin since it's going to be a risky investment for them, What I usually do is tell them everything that would discourage them on investing, and after that, if they still wanted to invest I will tell them that they should do it on there own not investing their money on someone that they know to invest for their money. If they really wanted to they should be the one that are going to grind, do the research, learn about cryptocurrency, learn about Bitcoin, etc.

Why I would want to do something like that? Talking about bitcoin in general is OK, but trying to influence someone else to invest in bitcoin will only bring you trouble, because if that person was not ready to invest or was not interested on the topic, and they lost money because of the advice you gave them, you can be sure you will be blamed for those losses, but even if they earned money this will be a problem, as now they will become dependent on your advice and they will look for you whenever they face a difficult situation.

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.

Not yet exactly,I keep investing suggestions to myself so I can be safe for later and the future.I haven't really introduced anyone to investing in bitcoin,incase something goes wrong,I wouldn't be accused for luring someone into fraud.It could actually result because of one's greed,ignorance and unintelligent approach.
I haven't really succeeded in convincing someone to invest in bitcoin all along,it's supposed to be a suggestion or serve as an advice,but the bigger role is to come from the other person;the positive response,and efforts to truly a experience good outcome from the investment choice.

I managed to persuade a friend of mine quite some time back, and to this day, he expresses gratitude.  That's the extent of my influence.

I've stopped trying to convince people to invest (time) in Bitcoin because all they seem interested in is turning a profit, which is a very narrow way to perceive Bitcoin.  It's also frustrating when people inquire about how many bitcoins I own without understanding the sensitivity of that question.

So, that's me.  Privacy-minded and a little lazy.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?

Yes, I have did. When your pairs where you work begin to see a sudden change in you, they don't see you pick interest in their conversation and always see you put your head on the front desk pressing laptop and reading things about Bitcoin, the smart ones will be curious and want to know the thing you are doing and they asked me and I explained to them and today, u have buddies I engaged in intellectual discussion about Bitcoin with in the office and outside the office and they have some money in Bitcoin even though it's not that large.

I have some of them that were already into crypto but doesn't buy any coin, they are just into these mining scam coins that claim to give airdrop and I charge them confidently to buy Bitcoin, it wasn't easy to convince them but they later did and but some amounts, they are waiting for the real bull run to come before they buy their first car lol Grin just joking but they did buy some sats and I was happy my taking convince them.

Yes, I have, and the majority of the people I inspired to invest in Bitcoin were inspired by this:

And of course, you won't have to believe that you are doing everyone a favor when you teach them about Bitcoin. The reason is that some of the people you teach will either make a mistake that can lead to a loss of funds and they will put all the blame on you while from the beginning you already warned them. I have taught a lot of people about Bitcoin, and many were inspired and invested, but not all of them appreciated the opportunity. I still have to take the blame for their foolishness and greed.

Since I learned my lesson, I don't ask any kind of person to invest in Bitcoin, but I can teach them about it and tell them that if they find it wise to invest, then them do so, but make sure to master all the risks.

One has to be very careful on who they try to talk to all influence about Bitcoin. Many people have different perception and opinions about Bitcoin. And you really have to know someone and have a level of relationship with them for you to try to talk or influence them into investing in Bitcoin. If you speak to a random person about Bitcoin and try to influence them into investing in Bitcoin, they will call you a scammer and a fraudster.

For me the only person who I successfully influenced into investing bitcoin, is my sister. Because I know she's someone would like investment,  and finance stuff,  and she trust my judgment, I went ahead to talk to her about Bitcoin and she invested.  It's being a good one for her.

Yeah my cousin he actually bought $10 worth of Bitcoin way back 2017 or 2018 I think and he's not moving it or using it yet. I don't know if he still has the key of that wallet because he once told me that he lost it so yeah that's unfortunate. But after I encourage my cousin I never did it again because I know how risky it is to be honest given that most people around me are not aware of Bitcoin so yeah better not convince anymore.

I have never successfully introduced someone to bitcoin. I don't like telling people about bitcoin investment because if they lose, you will be the one to blame regardless of how you explain it to them, so for me, I think it is better if I invest secretly without anyone knowing. Furthermore, in my area, once they see you making money online, they will start thinking other ways, like maybe you are into scamming and other stuff, so for me to tell someone I'm into bitcoin investment is kind of stressful. Though I can teach someone about bitcoin, just the basics of bitcoin and how it works.

Yes I successfully introduced a good friend of mine to Bitcoin back then in the year 2022 during the bear market, I was encouraging him to be patient and to use DCA method to be investing some money he is having spare for savings; luckily l, he agreed and start saving some little amount of money in his exchange wallet, he said he cannot go through the stress of keeping private key as he is not certain and might misplaced it, so I advised him to be saving them temporarily on KuCoin exchange where he buys USDT from. He is appreciating the good deeds I did for him because he has started using his profits for something good and he has seen the benefit of investment instead leaving your money in bank account that will resonated of increasing.

I don't think their is need to influence someone into Bitcoin because the fact is that no matter how good Bitcoin is it will be very difficult for everyone to accept it so perhaps their is no need trying to influence someone who doesn't have interest on venturing into Bitcoin but however we can only help with the information or knowledge we have about Bitcoin to help those who came to us for learning, actually one of the reasons why I believe is not necessary for us to influence people into Bitcoin is that most people have different perspectives about Bitcoin and some sees it as an easy way to get rich quick and perhaps you influence somebody like that into Bitcoin and it happens that after he most have invested but couldn't see any profit within some certain period he could misunderstood the whole thing and the person who lured him into Bitcoin will become a bad person to him.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ? 
Yes, there is one person whom I was able to successfully influence to invest in bitcoin. I am talking about myself. Smiley Frankly, at one time this was not very easy to do (influence the decision to delve deeper into the study of bitcoin) and it would have been better if I could have done it much earlier.

What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?
Looking at the current bitcoin's price rate, I think that this was the best decision in my life and I am very grateful to myself. Smiley On the day I first learned about bitcoin, it was impossible to imagine that it would reach such a level of capitalization and price tag.

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.
It is these side effects that hold me back from encouraging others to buy bitcoin. I have always believed that whoever wants to invest will find information on how to do it on their own, and those who don’t want to, it’s useless to try to influence them with your promotions.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?
Hmmm, I don't know TBH.

I shared my knowledge about Bitcoin to many people around me because they're asking about it, but they aren't asking for my help. I don't know if those people are still investing on Bitcoin or with any cryptocurrency currently, but one things for sure. If there's anybody that I influenced about investing into Bitcoin, they will come and thank me because I shared my knowledge with them.

Not an intelligent person here, but I'm just answering their question as best as I could. Influencing somebody about investing into Bitcoin has its pros and cons. One pro is that you will motivate a person to get invested into crypto, and if he becomes successful, there's a chance that he might influence somebody again, and it goes on, and on, and on. One con though is that, there's a chance that they will blame you if they lose money because they invested into Bitcoin. Luckily, this kind of scenario happened to me, but I'm ready just in case it happens. Smiley
