It is good that you introduced your friend to bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Poverty is a very bad disease that destruct human nature, personality and way of interacting with others. Your friends may just be feeling that you’re bigger than them now and won’t want to mingle with them more or do things with them like you always do together. Hopefully they find a means of more sustenance and fend for themselves to live a better life just like you are now. People say it brings out the real version of yourself but I still feel it all depends on your nature as a person.

I would have personally not introduced Bitcoin or Cryptocurrency in general to them, to be honest. It would have been better for him to start talking about it after giving some basic lesson of the most common kind of scams and fraudulent schemes one could find in this market, the reason in obvious.
Perhaps for people like you or I, who have already spend sometime wound here, it is pretty obvious what are the main characteristics of a scam, but for people who are in a desperate state and are uneducated about Bitcoin, it is easier for a scammer in social media or on internet in general to deceive them in order to take the little they have.

Do not misunderstand me though, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies themselves can be a pretty good option to manage money and invest, but it can be a tool used by criminals to strip away the small savings of the least fortunate members of our society. It is just my opinion though, hopefully those friends of OP are more savvy than the average person and would never fall for a classic ponzi.

Poverty change people, I never thought as much until i came back from abroad.
I visited my old neighborhood while growing up to see some of my guys in the past, I observe that most of them have changed to something else, from their behavior to how they sees life, and to how bittered they are. Though we still get along well base on the kind of person I am, I don't even sees myself like the rich guy they take me for, but I also feel their pain because life haven't been fair to them, a caring and loving guy before is now always bittered, the best I can do, which I did was to introduce them to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

You are right, we have also experienced this. Because my father is working in abroad and he is a sea man there, they think differently of my father when he comes home from abroad, we are not selfish people
and dad even often lends him money, dad was not a bad person to my mom's siblings but apart from this, he was the only person who was very jealous of my dad, dad even took him abroad so he could support him family but he became too greedy and wanted his salary to be higher than my father's. You have already been helped, but you want to get better because of envy. Maybe it's also because of the hardships of life, I also see my cousins who almost eat with us because there was no food for them in those days.

Many things contribute to the changes in people; poverty is no new thing that can change both the physical and mental health of a person. It can hinder one's growth and paralyze their thinking ability. Instead of finding a way to succeed, one can turn out to be a lout on the streets.

I guess your friends were still unfortunate to be in such a condition, but they can still make a better life from the bitcoin you introduced them to, but it has to be in a direction that they need right now. because you need to give a hungry man the fish first before you can now show him or her the river to catch his fish; thereby, energy is needed for him to start his own life.

The story line from @Hispo got me emotional. Life happens to everyone, and I pray it doesn't hit you in a bad way. If his friend could leave a note for him, that means he needs help immediately. I hope he gets help.

Alot of things have changed about you even when you don't know that by yourself, people knows what they see in you, the most of what is happening from our minds is a physical expression that we take all over out faces that we don't know, that same kind of positive excitement is what gives us confidence in keeping moving in life, the poor ones never have such raised expectations like we do.

Poverty is something I don't always leik taking about because it is not supposed to exist at all. We are meant to be okay even though we are not rich based of my faculty. To be poor means we are poor and we can nit make fast decision that would help us to stay and keep having consistent profits. One of the way we can stay free from poverty is when we are utilizing our potential and using it to make money for ourselves. This is going to help us to become the real version of ourselves.

Poverty changes people very badly makes people liars. Become helpless and hypocritical. Poverty can take people in any situation poor people cannot adequately meet their needs. The effects of poverty can affect a child as an adult which can lead to chronic illness and lack of education or ability to work. The impact of poverty is more than just missing a meal. Families struggle with chronic food insecurity hunger and malnutrition.

Money is a strong contributor to the way we look and down to the children. Money can make an ugly child look very fine and adorable to look at even the skin will change because the child is well taken care of both in nutrition. Likewise a parent that is wealthy and a poor parent are not compared.

If you don't take care of your health you can fall sick faster because your body needs proper health check-up to cleanse infection of all types that can cause further health damage to the organs. Money is such a vital factor to healthy living.

Such kinds of friends should be avoided because this bitterness could lead to something dangerous. Such friends can even want to steal from you or even harm you. Did you tell them that it was Bitcoin that made you wealthy? I hope you didn't introduce Bitcoin to these as a Ponzi scheme or a get-rich-quick scheme. Ensure they get the right information about Bitcoin before they invest to avoid blaming you in the future if the undesirable happens. You don't also force people to invest in Bitcoin, they should voluntarily decide to invest in the sector.

I don't accept the fact when you mentioned avoiding such friends if I may ask avoid them for what for security or safety purpose or scared if they will start begging for money always I don't understand,

Let me advise you, if you perceive that your close friend is jealous of you because you are financially stable than him, the best decision is to avoid the person. The heart of men is desperately wicked. Just research people who were killed by friends because of jealousy or envy. I just got this one titled: We killed our friend out of envy — 28-yr-old suspect. You should also understand that you can always assist your friend without having a physically close relationship. If your friend needs financial assistance, you can always render it if can afford it. But we might not hang out alone or sleep together alone, you just have to be security conscience.

Quote

first of all why will you make friend with a thief, we should not forget friends like this need our help and if we call ourself true friends it's best to help when am talking about help I don't mean feeding the person but there are other ways we can offer help in such situation,
and op should not make that mistake.

I don't know where you go on the notion that my friends are thieves, did you read it anywhere in my post? If you have read the original post you will know that the writer told a story of some of his friends that began to exhibit some negative attitudes because they think he is now financially better than them.

Poverty should not be what will determine if we are good people or not, we can make our own personal determination on whom we want to become wether we have money or not, being faithful and sincere with whom we are is good enough, if others are not to be trusted doesn't mean that we should follow the same pattern with them of being untrustworthy from the way we live our life, we must be outstanding from others.

Well obviously it changes you, as it can physically change your brains as you don''t have access to healthy nutrition, you might not get enough sleep, too much work with a crap pay without decent worker rights. Or even worse you could lose your house.

You end up doing things that suck your self-respect. So no wonder you'll get bitter. And thing is, it might not even be your fault at all. You just need to to have born in a wrong place, wrong family, with wrong disabilities. Several third party things can go wrong that can wipe your safety net. People say that you can be rich no matter what your disabilities are. Yeah, sure, but that's not how getting rich work. You have to be part of right circumstances, and not everyone just can be rich. Capitalism needs poor people to work for the rich people in order to have rich people.

Bitcoin's goal is not to end poverty. It's just freedom to send value without permission from anyone. It isn't ending world hunger or guaranteed to make anyone wealthy.

Oh yeah, I know what you're talking about OP. I used to have fun with my friends when we were in our 20s and we felt no pressure. All we did was study, play computer games, drink, go to parties...
Then we all went our separate ways and faced our problems. Some of us had kids, some had better jobs, while others had to look for work abroad. Some bought houses, some stayed with their parents. Fast forward 10 years and I agree that the poor became bitter. They shut down, they no longer enjoy life like those of us who had more money. They relive their younger years when they had no problems and did not care about money, but now they can't do without.

A great example of this is how girls used to look at us. None of us had cars, you could take a girl to a date and literally tell her that your father will drive you there and she didn't care, it was fine. Or you could just go for a walk and have fun. When you're in your 30s, you either have money, or you're going to feel rejected by society.

Sure there is a way that some people can behave when they don't have money, it is normal and understandable because they say an hungry man is a angry man.

It is a good thing that you have introduced them to bitcoin and crypto, perhaps they can tap into it and support their selves by investing according to what you have shown them. But one thing about the people who are seen as poor, they don't want to see opportunity in certain things, they always blame government and want government to provide their needs even though it is understandable that government should provide certain support for personal and economic growth. The poor has a mentality that they always criticize and don't see positivity in some innovation, so they might still be skeptical about the opportunities you have shown them in bitcoin only if they see you are earning through it. They doubt alot on opportunities locked in bitcoin, so you still need to guide and encourage your friends.

If a person who was once financially buoyant suddenly becomes poor, a lot of things will change about him, ranging from his mindset to his physical looks. Poverty is just like an ailment, it will definitely reflect on your general appearance with time. Nobody is happy being poor. Being poor means you will have to worry every day over things you do not have and responsibilities you are unable to meet. A poor man becomes unnecessarily humble even when his rights are being violated. It is like they broke a wing, hence the inability to fly as they should.

If you are opportune to meet up with your basic financial responsibilities without much stress, then you should be thankful and do well also to step up your game so you do not by any chance fall below your standard because it is not funny at all out there.

Poverty changes or influences peoples mindset a lot. I have friends, that were very poor when they were kids, now when they grew up and earn good, they still economize, search for cheaper, bargain, love discounts. When I have asked a guy, why dont you buy good and, maybe expensive, shoes, instead of buying really cheap and changing them every year, he wasnt able to explain it logically. Or why instead of buying original pepsi, they buy cheaper beverage that «taste almost the same». The answer was simple - if they are almost same, why buy more expensive. If person was once poor, his vision of life changes greatly. And when he gets back to good life, it is hard to lose habits he got while being poor.

Poverty is the worst thing that can happen to a person especially to a man. Poverty is a disease whereas money remains the only cure.
Poverty won't only change a person but will also change the image of the person within his community. Many who are suppose to accord respect to a person due to poverty they will begin to look down on such a person. This will cause depression and may lead to the person engaging in illegal activities just to earn a living.

It is good as you still show concern and mingle around with them if not that alone will make them feel inferior and entirely useless to themselves.

You introducing them to Bitcoin is a good thing but since they are poor how are they to start their investment journey?

One of the things poverty comes with is low self esteem, poverty will make you feel less of yourself and their is nothing you can do about it because the society always look down on people who are not financially alright but if you have money you will have confidence and boldness to talk to anyone, people always give respect to People who have money. Poverty really affects people because they do not anything to show people which will make people respect them.

Poverty is like a plague that wherever you go, people will notice it that you are living in poverty because it changes you entire behavior and your mindset. Someone in poverty wouldn't have a sound mind because he is troubled with so many things and his thought will be limited. Sometimes, it is people that choose to remain poor because of jealousy and envy or will I say pride. When they know that you were poor and later things turn around for you, they will not be happy at your success and that will make them not to also progress because they will not see the opportunity around them. This is because they are busy envying and thinking evil towards people that have made it. This is why one needs to fight his way out of poverty when he is opportune so that he can can also be able to give a helping hand to his family members that needs help because poverty is not something that anyone should be in. Your environment and the friends that you keep matters a lot in one's success.

It changes people for the worse or the better. You chose to get the betterment of your life and made poverty your inspiration on how you'll face the future of yourself.
These people, choose the worst of what poverty can do to them so that's how they're changed or nothing actually changed with their situation but only their adaptation to the neighborhood that they've lived for long that affected their outlook in life and their attitudes.

If op decide to introduce bitcoin to his friends that's not a problem but do they even have money to invest in bitcoin or how will they start and lastly introducing bitcoin investment as a Ponzi scheme sounds very wrong and op should not make that mistake.

Poverty as well as riches can change the behavior of many people but not everybody. If you are bitter or jealous that your friend is now more prosperous this is bad behaviour which is a product of envy and competition. In life, we should understand that everybody will not be rich, some persons might just be managing life. I have some friends that are far more successful than I am but I don't have any bitterness against them because I am not the cause of their success and they are not the architect of my misfortune. I still relate with them as brothers because I also believe that I can be fortunate to make good money like them.
