I don't want to convince people around me who are new to the crypto industry to invest in Bitcoin, that would be like wrapping a rope around my own neck. Regarding other investments, I can only provide solutions depending on the type of investment and the level of risk tolerance.
Pushing someone to jump straight into Bitcoin investment without having basic knowledge will leave moral responsibility if the investment does not go according to plan and other things happen, but if he comes to learn, I will teach him.
It is noteworthy to mention that is not everyone of us here that is good at bitcoin investment even when some members have a big rank here, doesn't mean everyone must be good at bitcoin investment. That's one. Secondly, it's good to equally highlight that those who ain't good at the bitcoin investment might not be at a good position to advice others or provide solutions to others regardless of the type of investments or the level of tolerance.
Knowledge and understanding is another factor to consider, the kind of knowledge I'm talking about is the practical knowledge on how to do these investments and make a profit out of it. The understanding aspect is also crucial for anyone who's interested in learning how to invest in Bitcoin. Without adequate understanding, one might jump into wrong investment plans and strategy which will end up wrecking one's investment.
Call me selfish but I like myself to be the one reaping most of the profits and hence I make sure I am investing in the proper places. If someone wants to know from me, I will share some knowledge but knowledge is power and hence retaining it gives you advantage. Since most people are not financially knowledgeable, this ability to be able to invest and make money from it clearly defines a different class.
Again if I try to disseminate the knowledge I have found mental resistance from the ones I approach, because they have some pre concepted ideas and it is not my job to explain it to them.
Smile. I don't think you're in competition with anyone out there, the bitcoin investment is a huge industry that can accommodate everyone out there and saying that you don't want to share because it gives you advantage, even though you have the right to do so, doesn't show any generosity in your crypto practices.
I think if Satoshi wasn't generous from beginning we won't be benefiting immensely from his decentralized technology today. Like I mentioned earlier, despite that we have the right to hold or release information we have learnt, being a bit more generous in your thoughts, makes the crypto world a lot more better to harness.
