Topic: How was your belief formed? - page 2. (Read 1561 times)

I got cringed when I read the OP because people are laughing him because of his decision on making investment on stocks, bonds, real estate and cryptocurrency insted he is the one should laugh because they do not understand how the world works. In my community, majority of the people see us not normal because of the mindset that we have because it is really different from the normal people. We actually go to college but instead of goaling to gradute and get diplomas, our main mission on going to school is for fun but we are researching a lot of high income skill when we are in school. So we are disregarding what the school and the curicculum wanted to teach us and we focus on what we should have to learn in order to be successful. The problem today is majority of the people are conforming, they do not have enough reason why they are doing a specific task and job. Try to make a survey and ask someone a simple question like "why are you going to your job?" the majority of the people will answer they don't know because of conformity.

There is a misconception in our society where people thinks that they can become rich by having a job without knowing that it is impossible because people who are rich in terms of financially have assets that consistently giving them cashflows every single day. I'm talking about assets that you can earn money by without doing anything like holding a stocks and cryptocurrencies because you can earn money by price appreciation and dividends in stocks. By holding a piece of land because it gives you passive income whenever you have a client and if the price of the land appreciate. You are in a right way if you start making investment on this assets that I mentioned. It can be considered as a wrong path if you disregard or do not give any f*ck on investments.

If I am older than you then I think you have seen how difficult it is for us to save money, we were introduced to savings by our parents and most probably tried to buy gold as an investment. From these two methods, we learn that the money we have does not increase at all and it tends to be difficult to reach the stage of perfection for investing, therefore we try to perfect it with knowledge of other investment concepts that will likely take us to a much stronger stage and this is where confidence in bitcoin emerges.

Departing from these reasons we try to learn to invest in bitcoin and in the end we find a match as an effort to maintain the value of the currency we have, even though the fluctuations and risks of investing in bitcoin are also large. But when we understand the pattern then all activities involving money must have unavoidable risks and bitcoin answers our doubts about previous unprofitable investments.

Confidence, of course, is not formed instantly but requires a process. We are equipped with various tools, especially the mind, so that we can distinguish which things are worthy of being believed in or not. Sometimes this requires experience so that we can make the right decisions.

You know you're right and you have a point here, In my experience, when I entered the bitcoin industry I didn't immediately appreciate it when I first heard the word bitcoin, it was irrelevant to me then and I didn't pay attention.

       But there came a time when I had a question about what Bitcoin is so what I did was I opened google and found out what it was, because I didn't understand it the first person who mentioned it to me I talked to him again and I asked him about it and that's when I started to learn about bitcoin and study it without noticing that I was already having an interest in it.

so you forced yourself from learning meaning same way that you will lose faith? once your friend losses his investment then you will leave bitcoin? and learning little stuff is not enough because you must learn everything before finally invest , though some of us risked first before learning yet this is not a proper way so you won't blame the market once you fail.
this is a volatile market that needs proper education and understanding because the price will change even faster than it grows.

you will continue to be laughed at by your friends if you convince them what they do not know about the value of Crypto, but their belief will be formed by itself if they have seen your real income from the investment you made. Likewise with my belief being formed, I am more confident about investing and looking for free crypto after I enjoy the results of what I do and this is real. This is where my confidence is formed and I continue to work to produce what is my goal with digital currency.

As I said, I don't want to explain because I know they won't believe what I say, they are traditional business people, and they don't believe that it's possible to make money online or anything like cryptocurrencies. Along with the negative bitcoin news that the government media propagates every day, if I explained it, they would think I was just trying to justify it. I would rather say nothing, and my results today and tomorrow are what I want to tell them, society now just needs money, and we will always be correct.

That's exactly what happened to most of us who got in early. Back when I first started, people mocked me and said that it will crash and burn and I will lose all my money, they acted as if I invested into candy, or something silly, but after a while they all started to see the benefit of it.

People who saw me years later all assumed that I was wealthy now because I was invested into bitcoin way before anyone even heard of it, unfortunately I am not . Because I wasn't smart enough to have that much, made just a bit, but still seeing all those people who mocked me at one time or another to come around and see how great bitcoin is made it all worth it.

It is included in the social jealousy of your own family because they are a little surprised when they see the changes that arise in you so that they immediately think badly before asking more clearly to you directly. Even though what you do and you fight for all this time is not wrong because you walk on your own path by not involving and disturbing many people around you. But it feels better if you want to give a clearer understanding to them with the aim of not teaching them to what you have done so far.

Honestly, I also don't like sharing bitcoins with other people because I know they won't believe me and think I'm scamming. I myself recently had an experience, I don't share my investing with everyone, but my mother accidentally told an aunt far away, and she said I don't make money by scamming people. I'm really upset, but I don't want to explain, I think they're jealous of me because my economy changes so quickly, and they're suspicious and don't want me to surpass them.

If they wont listen on the time you do make out some explanation then let them be and work hard and focus into yourself on which they would really be changing up their thoughts and minds on the time that they are seeing the results of your hardwork and risk taking here on crypto space.This is the time they would be approaching back into you and would be asking on how you do that but its better to ignore them or just simply tell them that they had just missed out the opportunity.This is why i dont really have the interest on sharing it up because majority of them would really be just seeing this just like a scam.
Its better to mind on your own actions and focus it out on what you are currently doing or dealing with.

The best way is to ignore those people, just remember that everyone has a different goal, and we invest or work hard for ourselves and our family, not for those friends. We don't need to waste time explaining to anyone, instead, show them what you have achieved by investing in bitcoin. The best way to tell them is to show them your results to see who will laugh at whom. That's how I talk to people who have laughed at me in the past.

The people who mocked you the most with Bitcoin will respect you again. Just need some time. In every environment there are some people who make negative comments without realizing anything. Many are violent. But keep growing your portfolio regardless of these factors. It doesn't take long time to change the equation with in moments. Take the ridicule behavior positively you get from your friends that would be your savings as well. The most valuable thing ever created on this planet is Bitcoin. We may not appreciate it yet, but there will be a time While possessing a Satoshi would not be possible for many because institutional investors will increase rapidly.

It is first that altcoin was presented to me by a friend , as he was earning from that I though i will give it a try but not after I learned about this forum and of course bitcoin.
I spend time to read and understand everything about crypto here and yes started to invest more of my time here in Bitcointalk that helps me developed more of my belief and till now? i trust bitcoin and all of my folio.

It is one of human nature so it is quite natural because indeed we have a high level of ego and greed as for other people who laugh at and are slapped by the fact that bitcoin is in much better condition than the previous few years, at least we have proven that bitcoin is one of the best place for Investment and it's not a scam like they used to think.
Giving more understanding to people who want to know can still be done, but for now there might be a limit when it's just sharing with people who want to hear it, so I think it can still be done.

Well guys, not really ego bruising. Slighted, yes but not ego crushed. It was more of them allowing their ignorance to drown my goodwill for them as it were. Ego was the last thing that crossed my mind while that experience I narrated took place. Now, going back to repeat anything about Bitcoin to those set of people would be a waste of my precious time. I don't have such time to waste as I'm more occupied now than I was then. However, that's not to say one or two of them from the past haven't realized what they missed then not listening to me.

If it were me, I wouldn't return to them, it's a furious feeling. I was also ridiculed in 2017 for talking about bitcoin with my friends, but in 2021 they really have a different view of me because of what I have achieved investing in bitcoin. My friends came back to ask me about investing in bitcoin, and I flatly refused, saying that if they wanted to be like me, they had to go through what I went through in the past. They need to find a way for themselves, and if they accidentally get scammed, that's not necessarily a bad thing for them, it's another lesson in a thousand lessons in life.

The time I witnessed the bear market and then the price bounce back again, that's how I started to believe. I did my research on the history of Bitcoin and was convince that this is the right investment for me. Because before I engage myself in Bitcoin, I'm a victim of scam believing in a too good to be true offer. I started using Bitcoin as currency, just my way to send/receive money. But after noticing the fluctuations and how early investors made profit through it then I tried to hold as well and I gained after months of waiting.

I used to people calling it as scam because some are using it as a tool to scam other people. However if you dig deeper, you'll know the fact that all the accusations are not true.

In the past, you were really lucky by getting three units of Bitcoin through the lottery and some free ones through the programs and sites you mentioned. And from all the results you have gotten in the past, of course you will already be a very rich person in 2021 if you have never sold your Bitcoin at a cheap price. Because now it is very difficult to get Bitcoin for free on some sites and programs like in the past, so the luck that you got in the old days is very extraordinary luck.

We do have that ego and pride specially when its been touched up earlier because you had been ignored nor really that been rejected.Just like me on which on the time i do make out some explanation into someone
but ending up that looks like that im just joking or trying out to swindle them which it do really give out that kind of feeling which you would really be that angry which is understandable.

This is why im not really that a fan on telling someone on what they should gonna do and let them able to know about cryptocurrencies existence when it comes to this manner.
Just let the awareness do spread out on its own.
