Pretty much self explanatory. How do you do it?

Here is my way. I mostly pushed away and pulled out of relationships with people who seem to stand against my beliefs. Instead of convincing them I just moved on. I found that a lot of those who do not believe in my choice of investment and think I will fail are the same people who never listen. Know it alls who rather put you down and disregard your feelings with no logical reasoning. Sometimes it feels like they envy you or some thing.

I believe this is a healthy way of handling your environment. Keep negativity outside your bubble. Only keep close to you people who give you the ambition and optimism to continue. Not sure how many of you believe in this. But manifesting negativity has always brought negative outcome in my life. Surrounding myself by positive thoughts and positive people has brought a strong source of light all the time.

I keep distance with them. Since they're not the type of people I want to be surrounded with, then it's better to stay away from them and treat them like they don't really exist in my life. Because if I let them enter into my life, for sure there will be a lot of negative criticisms coming from them and that's what I don't really like the most, judging me and my thing just because I have different investment choice compared to them.

People like them are not really healthy to be with. Even if you explain your investment to them, they will always have a lot of negative to say. That's why it's better to get rid of them before I lost my focus to my own bitcoin investment.

I guess they will realize in 1-2 years, who was wrong or who was right. I try not to push bitcoin down the throat of my friends or relatives, I keep a low profile, and they will come if they are interested.

They won't understand in a year or two, because they won't know what bitcoin is or try investing in it in a year or two. If they tell you, for example, how delicious fugu fish is, but don't tell you the details and don't let you try it, will you know what it is and what it tastes like? It's the same with bitcoin. So it is necessary to educate people, tell them about bitcoin, and then, knowing a little bit what it is, they will be able to make their choice.

Well, we don't cope with such peeps we ignore them. It has been around 6 years and I still can't bring my friend on board for mining. The first mining rig I set up was in my roommate's flat where I had just started my new job. I was curious about Bitcoin already and slowly I grew my knowledge to the extent that I wanted to have my own mining rig and not just buy outright but build from scratch. I did start it and asked my friends to get involved. My intention was to make them aware of Bitcoin, get involved with mining, and make them feel it. However, I failed at that because they did not get involved with it nor did they try to learn anything out of it. To date, I have made so many bucks and they are just looking at it, one can read their faces and see how they have missed it.

Long story short, you don't really make effort to teach such peeps, you just ignore them and move on.

Simple is that don't share your financial matters with other especially with those who talk behind you and comment negatively about your success. We are earning for ourself not for others therefore we have no benefit whether anyone is investing in bitcoin or not. Money is your so responsibility will also be yours that how and where to use this sum.

We should not talk to everyone about our Bitcoin's investment because hackers are always present here which can steal all your data and also other people will not consider it to be profitable so your word of convincing others will have no effect at all. If someone is interested in Bitcoin's investment then he will ask you first without your convincing approach. Don't think about negative thoughts of others because everyone will think differently, you will find bitcoin as a profitable asset but others cannot therefore leave every other person to make their own decisions.

I simply don't care. First off, it's your money, your rules. These people, no matter who they are (and yes, even your parents) have no agency on where you spend your shit. And as long as it's not on stupid things like drugs or hoes, you are good to go. Secondly, the ones who'll reap the profits when things go great are going to be you and you only, so why wait and let other people affect your decisions? When it comes to money you shouldn't play around, you always must take the smartest approach and make sure that you don't let stuff like these get to your brain. Besides, bitcoin has proven itself time and time again to many people in the world, why let someone who doesn't know jackshit about it affect your way of living?

I think that it's not my duty to prove anything to anyone. I try my best to educate people and introduce bitcoin in their life but instead I get cynicism, laugh and people say that it's a bubble that will explode. Time goes on and all we see is that bitcoin achieves new all time highs and price is going to the moon. Now I don't talk about Bitcoin unless I hear it from someone, I just shut my mouth because it's not really my duty to educate others and it's not really nice to get cynicism back.

Yes, it's good when you have people around you who are optimistic and give you boots but I think it's not good to hear only positive sides and don't hear talk about negative sides from others. We need balance in life, I believe this.

As long as the person respect your beliefs I think it's okay. It's a shallow reason to pull out your relationship with someone who have different beliefs in you especially if that person is your childhood friend or is really close to you. I understand that we should choose the right person carefully if you are going to make him as your real friend. But it never a good idea to end your good relationship or change the way treat them just because they are against your belief. If only they embarrassed you for what you believe, I think it's reasonable to stay away from them. But before that happen, give them enough time and be patient, maybe soon they will like Bitcoin.

Not every person's opinion has the same meaning, and it takes time to understand the relationship. You are free to make your own decisions and do what feels right for you. If you want to be successful with Bitcoin then remember one thing. Successful people have few friends, or successful people make friends wisely. It is unusual and never possible for everyone in the world to agree on all your actions or opinions no matter what you do. For that reason, it will be much easier to move forward if your opinion is similar to the opinion of the person you want to accept as a friend. I think it's best to respect the opinion of those who don't believe in BTC and go with it. This makes it easier for me to navigate with BTC. I always love to go on retreats.

that's very true, actually out there there are a lot of people out there who are jealous of your achievements, they don't support you, and things like that are experienced by many people including myself lol. when I talked about investing in bitcoin to my friends, my initial goal was for their economy to improve and they were willing to choose investment assets that were convincing and had a good reputation, but most of them thought I was taking advantage of them and even when bitcoin hit a low price several years ago, a friend of mine was angry with me and said I cheated him.

(since the incident above) in the future I don't want to spend my thoughts on people who don't believe in me, I realized that bitcoin will still exist even if they don't believe in it, I focused on self-development myself and also my investment in bitcoin, it really makes me mentally safe.

When I first started with Bitcoin, I faced skepticism from some of my friends. However, now they are always curious to know about my earnings and investments whenever we meet. Even though I want to share my knowledge with them, I am cautious about revealing too much information, as it could put me in danger someday. I only reveal a limited amount of information to let them decide if they want to start investing in Crypto-currency too. Even if they didn't believe in Bitcoin before, I will not abandon them.

totally agreed

do not waste your energy on people who will never believe in you and does nothing but put you down and crash your dreams and ideas it’s not their life it’s yours at the end of the day you know you’re the one who made the right decision let your own success speak for itself

people will always have something to say on other people’s lives they will judge someone for doing something when sometimes they’re even doing worse it’s a way of projection that you should never let affect you and instead you should ignore because their words and decisions are only a reflection of who they are not a reflection of yours

Personally I won't mingle with people who doesn't believe in Bitcoin let alone bother myself to change their belief and orientation, fortunately I work in a school where almost all my colleagues and students believe in Bitcoin so it became easy for me to convince any first timer or newbie about Bitcoin, infact everyone in my work place identify me as a Bitcoin enthusiast, however places where it would be very difficult to convince people about Bitcoin is mostly in less educational disadvantage region in my country because majority of the people believe it's a ponzi scheme based on the pump and dump in the price of Bitcoin thus it's to difficult to convince them hopefully with further enlightenment they change their orientation.

Pretty much self explanatory. How do you do it?

I listen to their reasons and I decide to whether ignore them or not, some people do have valid concerns and understand why they say what they say but some are just blatant haters and they even say their opinions very condescendingly. I'm a petty person and like keeping blatant haters around, it gives me joy to see their reaction when I ignore what they have to say about my decisions to where I invest my money.

Then we are alike, I always like staying when others choose to run away from those who are hating on them, they don't believe in us it's fine, stay around and let them feel the wrath of their own hate when you are shining, it's indeed a big pleasure watching them get suffocated while things keep getting better for you.

Some do this because they feel concerned and they don't want you to fail, but some will take it too far which will reveal that what they actually want for you is different, before I became what I am today, many people who are suppose to be encouraging me, even the so called blood ones are all criticizing, I eventually find out that it's not about concern of wasting my time, sometimes I even feel like they are witches and wizard, maybe they already have the answer of what will happen in the future and they are trying to make me stop.

The only person that supported me was my father, like if he is still alive today I will spend more money and my sweat on him, unfortunately he passed too soon, he is a special man, I am proud and confidence to say that if I have the opportunity to come back to this world again I will choose him as a father again.

Being resilient when everyone else is pulling back is hard, especially when you're being criticized. It shows how strong you are that you chose to stay where others ran away, letting other people's doubts fuel your determination. That level of determination is very important. As you saw, the market is very shaky, and many people dont believe in digital currencies either, just like they didnt believe in you. But those who stay strong during the storm of the market often end up winning. Many people go through the same hard times you did with critics, even in your own circle. This is a fight of the mind as well as the body. But the belief of your father - thats the kind of backing that makes visionaries in any field. Its too bad that the world didnt get to see more that he taught you. In Bitcoin, these kinds of stories happen all the time. Those who stick with it are usually the ones whose ideas are proven right.

Right.

If they suddenly check the price of Bitcoin and it is going downhill, they will message you that your investment is failing. But if they see it going up, they will remember you a bit and then won't bother to message you.

All they hope is for someone not to do well in life, we mind our business and that's the best way to deal with these crazy people.

I don't have to cope with this BS, because I keep my Bitcoin/crypto journey a secret.
Your financial situation is your business, not anyone else's. The people in your social circle should mind their own business and you are not obligated to share information about your financial situation with them. Sharing info about your finances with your social circle(or complete strangers) seems stupid to me. Your financial status is your responsibility. There's no point of getting butthurt just because many people don't like or understand Bitcoin/crypto. Everyone has his own opinions and there's no point of trying to convince anybody about anything.

Re: How do you cope with those around you not believing in you for choosing Bitcoin?

I personally choose not to care about things like that. Because in my personal opinion, everyone's response will be different regarding bitcoin investment. So when we see/hear other people's points of view regarding Bitcoin, we have to be wiser in responding to it. Especially when you hear talk that insults or denigrates Bitcoin, it's better to just keep quiet and smile. Because of course not everyone will like bitcoin, because that's the way the world is, there are definitely pro and contra.

Additionally, currently not many people around me know that I invest in bitcoin. Only a few people know about it. Because I take my privacy very seriously, especially when it comes to bitcoin. Therefore, people around me only have vague assumptions about me.

I agree with you, because it's better than having to convince him. So avoiding and staying away from people who are not pro with Bitcoin, that's a better way. Because as I said above, everyone has their own perception of everything, and that includes bitcoin. Therefore, when investing in bitcoin, don't listen too much to what people say because this will disturb our psychology. And finally, don't mind if your perception of Bitcoin is not the same as other people's perceptions. Because you need to remember, we are bitcoin investors who definitely need profits, and don't need recognition from other people.

Not sure how many of you believe in this. But manifesting negativity has always brought negative outcome in my life. Surrounding myself by positive thoughts and positive people has brought a strong source of light all the time.

I could remember when I started my Bitcoin journey, my siblings all thought it was just a total waste of time I was doing back than, but I never gave up and I kept on doing what I knew how to do best, buying and investing the least amount of money I could always afford to, and today, they all now wishing had they known they would have joined me when I started my journey. So that's just exactly how life is, there will always be people out there to discourage you at all times, but it's left for you to fall for it, or hold firm to that which you believe in.

Not everyone will believe in the plans and goals we want to achieve, even those closest to us (family), I'm sure almost all of us have experienced the same thing, but it all comes back to ourselves in responding to it, some are down or disappointed so He did not continue with what he planned because there was no support from his family and there was also the opposite.
When I was in that position, I never paid any attention to them until finally I gave them real proof that what I was doing had a positive result in the profits I got.

That's life, there are many lessons we can take from the journey we have gone through and because of that we also have to be observant and smart in responding to all different things.

OP! I think you're going too far pushing people away from yourself. Disagreement is fine but not disrespect. There's a famous quote from the founder of the Bitcoin network Satoshi Nakamoto I do not know if it is here on the Bitcoin forum. I have always liked it for being brief and send a clear message.

"IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME OR DON'T GET IT, I DONT HAVE ANYTIME TO TRY TO CONVINCE YOU, SORRY! This is just perfect for me, you do not need too much explanation to be said!
