Have I said something too harsh? He took this personal and report me to my eldest brother, my brother said I shouldn't mind, he doesn't know that my brother is now also a Bitcoin investor, my mistake was making it public, which my brother never did.

I think so if it’s your uncle. It’s not gonna lessen your masculinity if you will just listen to his advice and don’t argue. I don’t see the benefits on making an argument to an old people that you know exactly how they will not accept any explanation from younger than them. There’s no need to prove the benefits of Bitcoin in that way and you can simply acknowledge his opinion then move on. He will not know if you are still involved or not after that.

If you are still planning to get into Bitcoin, don't post anything about it in family group chat or on your WhatsApp status, this was my biggest mistake.

Who the heck broadcast his involvement on Bitcoin to others. What’s the point of doing that while Bitcoin promotes an anonymity.

Haterz gonna hate. .

True fact. Some people just have a lay man's knowledge of Bitcoin and since it's a volatile coin, they regard it as a waste of time and effort and instead prefer to see fiat as the sure and reliable one. Honestly, I don't see myself giving details about my involvement with Bitcoin to family members because the last thing I want is someone always snooping in my business or gloating about how senseless my decision is to choose digital currency over fiat if incase Bitcoin experiences a setback.

I think you have to prove that investing in bitcoin can make your economy better.

This is what TOP should do instead of keep complaining about his uncle. Maybe he doesn't know about bitcoin and he wants the best for OP too, that's why he told OP to stay away from bitcoin.

OP, arguing with your uncle is not a wise move, instead, you should find a way to prove your choice is correct. Try to build your bitcoin investment to make a profit, and prove your life is better than investing in bitcoin, then your uncle will no longer doubt and despise you.

Well I don't know if you have ever heard the saying which silence is actually the best answer to an arrogant fool and I think the answer you gave him was actually worth it but if I were you I will probably just snub his ignorance to something he has no clue about and just go with my plans .

Making your actions known before you do anything is not actually a bad idea especially when it has to do deal with bitcoin investment. Its just normal for uncle's who don't want anyone to surpass them to behave that way.

Are you still into Bitcoin? You need to find something else to do, Bitcoin will fail soon because there is nothing that can take away the money printing machines, the government will keep printing money because they like been the printer, they can't print Bitcoin that's why it will fail, stop living a dream and do something good with your life before it's too late.

If bitcoin is going to fall, why don't these people short sell it? People talk and talk how it's price is gonna collapse but I haven't seen a single person that thinks so and has short-sell bitcoin. I mean, if you know it's 100% gonna fall, why don't you go and make tons of profit? It's a legit question.

Just prove them wrong, that's all you should do. Also, bitcoin proves itself every time that its superior, everyone can check how it went from cents to tens of thousands of dollars and doesn't go back.

At first I got angry, because he always believe he knows the best for everyone, and I am different, I am not like my brothers that fall before his kneels every time. I replied him with this.

Why are you so into what I am doing? Why did you take this so serious than anything else? You have never showed concern about me, I have never asked you for help and you fulfill it, if Bitcoin fails it's fine for me, and Bitcoin was never created to kill Fiat in the first place, it was created to support people like me, because no one wants to support people like us but they want to pretend they do.. Fiat is Centralized and Bitcoin is Decentralized, it's for the people and the community, it's freedom and a perfect home 🏠. I can't hate something that have helps me so many times uncle.

In this case, I think your elder brother is a very smart man. Generally in life, it is important to keep your progress secret. Not everyone should know what you are doing, and how you are getting by in life.
As for your uncle, I think you gave him the kinda reply that his type deserves. The least he could do is encourage you, not condemn you, not as if he has a job for you or something. Besides, trading in BTC doesn't stop anyone from doing other things.

This post isn't about Bitcoin or it's viability.

It's a about the social aspects of ANYONE knowing your financial composition.

The rule is they can't hurt you with what they don't know. Having any kind of lump some money or asset put a big target on your back from family and friends. Additionally Karen down the street take a slip n fall on your property to access that money.

Your uncle made his money through fiat and will never believe that Bitcoin have a great potential as a currency. Moreover,since he is an elderly man,he won't easily believe that Bitcoin is the future gold because is limited in supply which makes it more valuable. Government can print cash and they do with without reserve,this is the problem that causes inflation. Don't get mad at your uncle he believes he knows more than everyone in the family just because he is successful but sooner or later bitcoin will prove him wrong that he might know everything about business but not bitcoin investment. Be happy about your bitcoin journey and be proud of it because you will surely make your family proud. The more people are told about bitcoin, the more the awareness is passed on and the more people comes into the bitcoin community, so allow your uncle attitude towards you discourage you from spreading the awareness but only do this to those who are willing to learn something new,if not you might just end up being discouraged or wasting your time.

Message @Hhampuz if you are looking for a CM!

Just ignore him. At least you are being true to yourself. In my opinion, that is not being disrespectful. You simply replied to his comments that you did not like. In the first place, it was him who was insensitive, as he waited for the market to crash just to discourage you. Although he is your uncle, sometimes you don't need to please everyone. Just listen to people who can help you and support what you are doing, because they are the ones who will stand by you even if you fail.

Here's a friendly piece of advice: Don't get too emotional. Just focus on doing your thing and prove to him that he is wrong by succeeding.

Good luck!

This is really a personal problem that also involves with bitcoin , the way that you tell your uncle is okay but next time always respect those older than you even they are disrespecting you , just don't listen to their nonsense saying like what your uncle said; he has nothing to say, he doesn't know what bitcoin is, and there is really no time for bitcoin to hit ATH. Now show him what the true meaning of bitcoin is, slap him with money, and tell him in his face that you are doing well and better than your uncle.

I just say if you don't understand Bitcoin, and why it is different, then you can't comment on it, and you shouldn't be involved in the community.

I think what you are doing is not wrong
I think investing in bitcoin is a pride because investing in bitcoin in my opinion is something cooler than nothing.

and in my opinion investing in btc is not something that is detrimental if the person investing is using idle money, and investing in bitcoin is only used as a side business.

I think you have to prove that investing in bitcoin can make your economy better.

From the OP's story, I feel that investing in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency is a personal decision and should not be influenced by the opinions of others. But you should also be aware that the people around you may not agree with your decision and there may be different factors that they value more. So, do a thorough assessment and make your own decisions intelligently and carefully. As with the advice of others, your personal experiences and opinions are also extremely important and valuable.

Your uncle is 100% correct!

but only about this snippet of text, when taken in the full reasoning of his rant he
is 100% wrong. The fact that the printing machines continue to run is one of
the reasons why Bitcoin WONT fail.

The fact that they cant print Bitcoin is another reason why it wont fail.

He couldnt be more wrong really in what he states.

Actually I have no idea how your uncle can say Bitcoin will fall when Bitcoin price is already expensive and we saw Bitcoin have recovered from the past two dumps. I'm not sure what's your current activity? if you're just a student and not making any money, but you're hope relying on Bitcoin will make you rich, your uncle wasn't entirely wrong. This because hoping Bitcoin price will pump 100-1000x times looks impossible in few years.

If you're work and accumulating Bitcoin little by little, it will looks more realistic.

Sinbad Mixer: Mix Your BTC Quickly

Being private can be beneficial because it protect you from certain types of criticism and allows you to avoid people who may say things you dislike. If you really believe that Bitcoin will experience significant growth in the future it is important to hold onto your convictions and not let others sway your opinion. While it's nice to share your private stuffs with someone, ensure that you confide in the right person, I mean someone who will support your ideas, offer wisdom and not making fun of it.

I remember a few years ago when I got involved with Bitcoin I faced a similar situation. Many of my irl friends laughed at me when I tried to claim my own few satoshis and didn't believe in the potential of Bitcoin in the future. However, a few months later when I started making my first few hundred dollars, they regretted their previous behavior and even joined the Bitcoin community themselves. So my advice for you is to show your uncle one day how successful you are while you're doing a huge business that involves bitcoin and I hope that day would come.

Good luck OP

Make it a rule of thumb. Whatever you do never make it public. Just think what will you gain out of it? And yes relatives are always like that. Be it any part of the World. What I mean is No two heads are alike opinions will differ and people make it a point to educate and help others even if you never asked for it in the first place. Being in Crypto you know very well this bubble burst news is quite common and always comes after a big bull. That,s how everyone earns.
Because he is ultra successful he is bound to be a slave of an inflated ego. Just pity him and ignore him.

I think you did everything right, op, and that nothing terrible has happened as a result. Interestingly enough, I also have an uncle who is the most successful one in the family. I told him about Bitcoin many years ago, and he also rejected Bitcoin and my involvement with it as ridiculous, a waste of time and something that shouldn't be mentioned in professional space because it speaks ill of me that I believe in such a thing as Bitcoin. I basically ignored him and don't mention cryptos when I see him. I'm a conflict-averse person, so instead of confronting people I usually ignore what they say and don't mention it again to them, unless it's something that depends on their decision-making. But I don't see anything bad in what you've done. If you stop discussing Bitcoin with him, maybe it will work for you as well.

Problems in your family may not exist in other families. I work here in bitcoin my family members know everything about my work and investment. They did not oppose me to invest and work here, but encouraged me more. But your uncle might contradict you about Bitcoin investment so you should keep quiet here. When your investment is very successful, show your uncle and your family the success of the investment. I can assure you that the mistakes of your uncle and your family members will be broken after seeing investment success. But you continue to invest as you hope to be successful.

The way the closest people take care of us is different and from your story, your uncle cares about you in a positive aspect.
But you also need to realize that all forms related to investment, especially Bitcoin, must be kept from being known by anyone other than people you trust.

Your answer is not harsh in explaining. Your uncle may not know and don't want to find out about Bitcoin so he only focuses on fiat which he thinks can save you whereas when your uncle finds out more about the benefits of Bitcoin as he knows about fiat then he will try to convince other families to get involved yourself with Bitcoin.

We are not encouraged to convey to other people the activities we do because this is privacy because when people know about our activities such as being involved in Bitcoin investments, it is very likely that things we don't want can happen beyond our reach.
