sometimes we need to be ignorant of what other people are saying because sometimes what we believe in might be the best choice and that's what I believed in when I invested in crypto 5 years ago. Many people were skeptical and laughed at me, but when the bitcoin price went up significantly and went viral they came back to me with the intention that I could give them some advice on investing in cryptocurrencies. I just laugh watching them.

Just recently, there was function in my family they were mocking me about btc dropping to $20k, I often feel like it's better to not tell people what you do. It makes assumptions that tend to be far from the truth.

We know cycles, they don't. We know we can convert to stable coins and buy back later, they don't. Yet, they are quick to judge.

Strictly speaking, our trust is only formed and strengthened when we get positive results from it. When I first started investing, I was always skeptical about the future of bitcoin because the people around me always spoke negatively about it. But after profiting from it, my belief became stronger. It can be said that trust will be built through results, when we receive good results, the trust will be stronger.
.

I believe that people who say negative things about bitcoin can be said to not understand how bitcoin works and what benefits bitcoin holders get. Therefore, don't listen to other people's words and do it based on your own beliefs and principles.

Lack of knowledge is just some of them, I think the people who are talking bad about bitcoin are mostly people who understand bitcoin very well. I mean the government, I don't believe that the government lacks knowledge about bitcoin, they can be even better than us. But because bitcoin is of no benefit to them, they cannot accept it and seek to smear it. They spread lies about it so we stop using it and continue to trust them.
Since they themselves cannot touch or govern bitcoin, they're using this method in order for them to discourage people from using it while saying so many bad things about crypto in general. We all get it that somehow they are concern about the possible risks attached to bitcoin, but is that really it? As of now they are even slowly imposing rules masking it as security measures but the reality is that they just wanted to pry into your accounts and see how much money you are investing into this kind of things, or should I say they are taking a peek over your privacy and call that security.

Trust and belief certainly come with information that you have learned before. It is none other than the rapid developments that have grown in bitcoin where mass adoption is taking place. I'm sure everyone has their own stand and belief in bitcoin therefore nothing can stop you when the belief you have grows with the success you have had in investing in bitcoin.

Today once again I remembered why I had something like bitcoin in my life to begin with. I wanted to pay something at a simple cafe/restraurant whatever. And their machine didn't work properly, so we had to wait there in line like technology is something new for 15 minutes, they offered us free tea until they figured it out after that, and we waited another 15 minutes, so a total of 30 minutes until they fixed their issue. We live in a metropolitan area, Istanbul, that is as modern as it gets, and this was a high level place too, not like it was a small shop, it was a place that makes 100k+ lira (or 5k+ dollars) per day easily as revenue, imagine how huge it is. Crypto wouldn't have this, bitcoin may take a while and could be expensive but you could use something else and you would be able to do it in a second for free, like sol or tron or whatever. This is seriously weird, crypto should become an alternative payment method already, would make so many things easier.

Since I first started investing in crypto currency, many of my friends didn't believe it and some even said that investing in cryptocurrency was a lot of scammers. But I didn't pay attention to what my friends were talking about, instead I wanted to prove the opposite as what they were talking about and it turned out that when I first got results from investing in bitcoin, that was where the belief was formed that investing in crypto currency, especially bitcoin, could generate large income.

Not only just on the time when you do make profits but rather on the time you are really that gaining experience and awareness of it, it doesnt really only limit out on Bitcoin but also in other coins as well on the market. Once your understanding and knowledge deepens then the more realization you would be able to get and this is where belief would really be that neither changed or would be adding up.

Yes, due to bad marketing or bad exposure of the government or media about bitcoin which it cant really be blamed out on why there are new people is really that becoming skeptical just because on the things that they do read up around but on the time that those things would be cleared up and making up some DYOR then it would really be suddenly changed up overtime which its really that a very common approach. On the time that i do able to learn up Bitcoins existence is through those ponzi scams back into those ICO days somewhere on 2015-2016 which it is really that too rampant or
lots of ponzis of that time until its been bust up that its a common scam.

On the time that you do learn up sufficient knowledge then accumulating for longer years to come would be your main target on which it isnt really that a shocking or normal approach.

I started to get interested and form confidence in bitcoin from 2017, when I saw that the price of Bitcoin continued to increase from time to time. As you mentioned, the historical price of Bitcoin has shown a significant increase and there is potential for it to continue to grow in the future.

I can also understand that initially you may feel uncomfortable when your friends and relatives mock you for your Bitcoin investment. However, it's great that you stay focused on your goals and don't let other people's negative comments stop you from doing what you believe is right. The best way to deal with such things is to stay quiet and focus on your goals. When people see your success in investing in Bitcoin, they may start to change their view of Bitcoin.

However, I also want to emphasize the importance of maintaining ethics in investing. Never belittle other people or make them feel bad because their investment decisions differ from yours and vice versa. Everyone has the right to decide what is best for themselves, and it is important to respect those differences.

As a Bitcoin investor, it's important to open your mind to different points of view and keep learning about the technology and the ever-evolving market. It can help you strengthen your confidence in bitcoin investing and also help you answer any questions and doubts that your friends may have.

At the beginning , I was not completely interested in Bitcoin and generally Cryptocurrencies and to be honest, I screwed up when I was more into cash and looking a way to earn it.  after years, I have realized how important Bitcoin is. At that time, BTC has reached $20k for the first time in 2017 but unfortunately I have not gained anything due to I had no crypto and I remember my friends was extremely happy and most of them sold their BTC. In fact, I have decided to start this field by the end of 2017.  The good part I have never bought BTC and Crypto However, I have earned them by working in signature campaigns and doing some freelance jobs.
Most common people reaction would really be something like this on which they would really be that only believing when they had seen that others had making some money which is really that a common scenario.

You would be having those feeling kind of regret on where you would really be having thoughts on the time you would be seeing on how much you had been able to miss out. Good thing that you do still make out
some realizations and find for yourself that it isnt really that too late.

Its not late to start even though you had missed out those opportunities but it doesnt mean that it would be over for you.There's always a path which we could be able to follow
but of course dont take it too lightly.

I am often considered crazy by friends around me who invest in stocks, bonds and real estate, they always laugh at me when we discuss portfolios and investment opportunities. Maybe some of us (on this forum) also have the same fate as always being ridiculed when talking about investing in bitcoin.
I know people around me who do not believe in Bitcoin. Although they do not ridicule me when I talk about Bitcoin (I've limited the rate I talk about Bitcoin with them to the bearest minimum) but they always feel I'm wasting my time. These people have been so closed-minded when it comes to Bitcoin. They feel it's a bubble that will burst one day or a scam. Some are so ignorant and I do not bother to convince anybody that is so confident in his ignorance.

I thought I would like to know how your trust process builds up in investing your money in bitcoins?

Like you said you've seen how the Bitcoin cycle performs over time. When you compare Bitcoin with any other cryptocurrency you'll see that it's miles ahead of all other coins. No matter how low the price of Bitcoin gets, with trust and patience, you can rest assured that it will get back up. No other coin can boast of this.

When I first got to know Cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin, part of my time was spent studying Bitcoin. My confidence in Bitcoin increases when I see the price of Bitcoin, which has increased almost every year. I'm trying to cash out my savings including capital for my marriage to start investing in Bitcoin. My decision was ridiculed by my family, friends and even my girlfriends threatened me to get out of my life. But because I had the confidence to invest in Bitcoin, I ignored all the jeers and threats from my girlfriends.

I am aware that Bitcoin investment is based on speculation so that there are fluctuations, but because I am the type of person who likes to do something new, I choose to make up my mind to walk on hot coals. If I succeed all the Ridicule I receive will turn into praise. I managed to prove to them that the decision I made was very correct, the value of my investment in bitcoin increased and immediately released ¾ of the assets that I had with a satisfying profit.

My message is for those who want to invest in Bitcoin but don't get support from the people closest to you. "never give up on doing new things in your life, keep going according to the encouragement of your conscience. When you are successful, they will come to you to ask to teach them because they are inspired by the success you have achieved."

Maybe they still lack knowledge about Bitcoin, and don't know how the pattern of cycles is, so they close themselves not to investing in Bitcoin, and on average they say that Bitcoin is an investment based on speculation so that fluctuations occur, but my logic rejects this because stocks and real estate can also be influenced by speculation.
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.

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.
Exactly, and it is better to be surrounded with a good quality people and avoid the pessimistic and negative ones who would like to bring you down. There is no need to focus on this category and waste your time and energy on them. If you have a goal, cover your ears and work hard on it until you achieve success, at that time these haters will shut their mouths, that’s how it works. In addition to that, investing in Bitcoin is always fruitful but in long term. By the way, the current price is still low ( under $30k ), that means it is a good opportunity to purchase as much as possible and HODL until it hits ATH again. However, it is pretty difficult to predict an accurate price of Bitcoin in the near future.
If you keep throwing rocks on every dog that barked on your way, you'll just end up wasting time and in worst scenario you will get distracted and cannot focus on your path. This kind of conversation and different perspectives in terms of investment is not relatively new. You guys for sure remembered way back when they said that this kind of technology seems impossible to implement and they didn't believe at first that our technology could develop the way it is right now, and now what? some jobs are already tech related and due to the inclination of our development today relies on technology in some cases, there're speculations and worries that there will be tons of people who will lose their jobs? Some says "go with the flow" but they are not open minded enough to accept new development and would always criticize that their choice is better than anyone.

Surely, when this bear market ends, we will see another flock of people who are going to dive deep into crypto once again, and we no longer have to mind every people who badmouthed bitcoin overall since it is still standing solidly as we speak right now.

I believe that people who also invested in stocks and bonds a few decades ago were also mocked and made fun of. Certainly, there's no point in explaining why Bitcoin is an asset worth investing in. I also have a few acquaintances who completely snob the concept of cryptocurrencies, let alone them being an asset.

Now that you're mentioning that it's a misconception that you can become rich by getting a decent job, in my opinion, the majority of people acknowledge it now and don't expect to become wealthy through a 9-to-5 job. Whether we like it or not, if you're not an entrepreneur and come up with something innovative, it's almost impossible to achieve higher goals.
In terms of opportunities, businessmen or entrepreneurs tend to be more successful than formal workers in most government agencies. We are never blind that businessmen and entrepreneurs have higher chance of success than others, and because of that most of them get rich. Of course we have a lot of evidence in the real world.

Business people also often get investments to grow bigger than keeping their money in the bank, so things like this really support their financial management plans in the long term. As for workers, they tend to work for a decent living with the same income every month. I believe workers will not get rich without corruption or having side jobs that they do.

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.
I believe that people who also invested in stocks and bonds a few decades ago were also mocked and made fun of. Certainly, there's no point in explaining why Bitcoin is an asset worth investing in. I also have a few acquaintances who completely snob the concept of cryptocurrencies, let alone them being an asset.

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.
Confidence arises when someone already has experience in something so that he already knows how to do something with greater confidence and enthusiasm. Because when someone doesn't know about something he will do, of course his confidence will not arise because he himself does not have experience and knowledge about it.

And of course for everyone this goes through a long process, moreover for those who are more observant in capturing information, of course they will seek more basic knowledge to believe it and take an appropriate policy, of course. since the beginning Crypto has an attractive attraction for someone who makes an Investment, and of course at that time Bitcoin started to be very attractive and most people were looking for it.
Seeking more basic knowledge is the same as seeking experience when someone is studying something. And yes, this can make him develop better self-confidence when he already knows it in full, so trust doesn't arise easily and instantly for everyone, but it can appear by itself when someone already has experience when he learns something very well.
