As said in the topic created, it's advisable to set your mind and goals clearly. When set, you have to work towards them for you to achieve them. Mind as said is the way individual reason i.e rational thought while goal is what you set to achieve in future.
I have several goals have set for myself and with dedication and hard work with out relenting have being able to achieve some while pushing for the remaining ones to be achieved. Work towards your goals and mind, then your future will be secured.

Only God knows what would have happened if I never left, my mind kept telling me to venture into crypto at the time and even my own family shut the idea down.

I don't know why and now they are asking for my help, I have to do it since they are my family, and even my friends are asking for help, would you help your discouraging friends if you are in my shoe? They were my friends, but not anymore, I believe friends should be supportive of each other, am I wrong.

If you are a crypto newbie, make sure you set your mind on your goals, do not be discouraged by anyone, people can't see the future, we are not gods or demigods who can read the future, do not listen to any naysayers.


One thing for sure is, you are meant for that gift. It is the fruit of your patience, willingness, and faith with your venture with BTC.

And for others who are still waiting for their big turn with BTC, just keep our eyes on our goal. While we are waiting, let us keep on learning. This forum is a big help for newbies like me and also to the pros to keep us updated with the trend and other stuff on BTC.

Everything will not be in vain as long as we keep our faith that one day, everything will come in our favor.

Op has no better option that to help his family to get to a level where they would not be disturbing him again. A lot of things had happens so they have learnt there mistake of not belittle things that matter to you just because they think you might not make it in life. This are the mistakes many people are making because they do not like you doing a particular thing, so they won't want to support you. All we have to do is to make sure we follow our dream and be ambitious to get to where we I tend to each no matter how severe is the frustration.
I don't mind there either. I'd rather spend time focusing on my goal and asking for no support from them because sometimes they become a reason why we never go where we wanted to be. They will just later that what we did is for the best for them, not just ourselves. That is why sometimes we need to stay away from these people in order for them to realize the value of our presence and help. Because as long as they won't realize their mistakes, they won't learn from them and still claiming themselves that they are right and we are wrong.
And we also have to grow stronger motivation within ourselves (stronger drive) to be able to achieve success and prove to them that we are on the right path. and prove that we can be successful even without their help.

And an important fact in life is people tend to underestimate any work that has not arrived at success / is still in progress. And instead they will be excited and start following with greed after seeing people have arrived at success. and they forget that people who have achieved success must first go through a long process full of obstacles. The point is people sometimes underestimate a process and even though there is no success without a process at the beginning. so also in crypto. many people underestimate bitcoin in the early days bitcoin was born. but look now the person who underestimated it was wrong.

I spent five years away from friends and family, because whenever I bring up how crypto can be life-changing they always discourage me, maybe because I lost some money to few trades and I was not that good at trading at the time, I got mad one day and I left the city and move to another city, because they won't let me be and they felt I will waste my life away.

Today, I now own a home and a nice ride, I was able to get married and settle down, but now they feel like they made a huge mistake for not listening to me. I believe this was the best decision I've ever made, I was able to gathered some BTC in 2019  to 2020 bear market and also with the help of my trading skills.

Life has a way of giving you the negative impression just to see how you can get to your goal, is all about determination to get to where you feel is best for you.
If you hadn't followed your mind by ditching all those negative things said by your friends and family you won't have gotten to where you are now. I love your courage, you already knew what you wanted even when you lost alot of cash and you never let it stop you, that's standing tall above all odds.

Where you said your family and friends are asking for help is normal, is up to you to render the help to them and it would be a win win for both sides, teach them about Bitcoin if possible drag them into this forum, it will grow their knowledge as well.

Well I'm happy for you and thankful that you were able to make it this far but hope you also know that alot of persons have  lost it all in course of their crypto journey?
So you don't have to judge your family if they didn't support you during this course because maybe they were looking out for you and on the other hand, I think their discouragement was one of your striking advantage and you were able to build a life from that so you should be grateful.

I will still help a discouraging friend if I'm the position to help but maybe from a distance as trust might not be that firm again.

that's the best way to do it. Trading will not look at friends or not, because everyone has their own trading style and how well they understand the science of trading. There will definitely be a risk of loss and it is a risk that must be realized by yourself. If your friends demand to always make a profit, then they don't understand how the mechanics of trading work. It's not easy to make correct and consistent trades, it requires a lot of experience and good trading knowledge.

Yes. that's obvious, especially if the focus is on the point of making a profit. This requires experience and solid understanding because trading in the crypto world involves risks, . maybe not everyone accepts defeat for it. I think by communicating more intensely the meeting point can be either the strength or the weak side so that an understanding of the market is easy to understand.
And if someone has understood in depth what trading is then of course that person will not blame anyone if he experiences a loss. Because losses in trading are normal. Even not only in crypto but in trading in the real world we cannot always avoid losses. like a fruit seller in the market and the fruit doesn't sell well and ends up rotting. and that is the risk of loss in the real world. And even in crypto there must be such a thing as a loss. It's like buying at a high and selling at a low because of panic. The point is in all types of trading one must understand everything well. that is why insight must come first in everything.

Well, I would teach them but I would be charging them a fee for that since they rejected it the first time which I would've given it for free.
That’s also your decision. But for me, friends will always be friends especially if they have been supportive to you except on your bitcoin journey. So I’ll just help them instead, but I will make it clear to them that trading is never that easy to be productive. So if they can’t bear the risk and the future losses, then it’s better for them not to trade anymore.

Almost everyone who is in bitcoin can improve their financial capabilities for the better, although not everyone puts themselves at financial wealth. Bitcoin's ability to play a financial role is sometimes difficult to believe by people who don't feel or are involved in it, so convincing others on an anonymous basis is difficult and will result in unpleasant things. Therefore, giving an understanding of our achievements in bitcoin sometimes often gets negative things that end in the breakdown of friendship and family relationships.

For example it is a loss for people who are involved in investing because we are the ones who encourage them to get involved, so most of them will blame us as the ones who introduced it. Even if you pay attention, they don't invest properly and correctly, so they get investment losses based on the wrong pattern. Make sure that when you intend to provide investment advice in bitcoin, they must also actively study the correct investment patterns and methods.

That is a good idea to set your mindset into completing your goals or achieving your goals. If someone do the same way then maybe one day they can achieve it too. I seen plenty of newbies who post in this forum about merits and ranking up nowadays compared to doing something that will become or consideras contribution in the forum. If a person's mindset is to focus on earning merit then that person won't be able to get lots of merits that easily rather than learning more.
Focus on goals must be instilled in our mindset. And we also have to make our goals become a trigger to increase the level of motivation within us. So that we can be more consistent in going through each stage to achieve what we are aiming for. And within crypto I'm also just focusing on investing more in bitcoin right now. at least that's my goal for now. and I'm focused on it.

And the matter of Merit. So I think it's about the reciprocity of our own efforts. If we learn more, so that we have a lot of insight and we share it with everyone who needs that insight so that other people will feel helped by our contribution in sharing insights then well Merit will come to us by itself.

Interesting experience. Take big decisions even without the support of your family and you surrender because Only God knows what will happen if you never leave. I am very touched to hear that. Yes. You have proven it in BTC assets. For current conditions, if you or I are in an easy economic position, why not, to help each other, but with a note that it doesn't interfere with family expenses.

 Your story about how your families and friends discouraged when starting your journey in the crypto world is very touching, most people would always be less supportive when they're not gaining anything in return, so the best revenge to that is being successful and in return they'll feel the guilt of not being supportive or giving you listening when you were less successful.
 Therefore to attain success one have to focus on their goals, writing out a todo list of things you want to achive can be of great help as well.
 Another thing to do is keeping a positive minded circle people that would motivate you with positive energy not those that would talk down on you or mislead you with wrong advises, people that would help you understand that failure or loss in a business is not the end of success.

You're lucky to have come from a country where such recorded short time successes aren't attributed to have come from crime or fraud. In my country, those friends of yours would even accuse you of indulging internet fraud because most of them are cynics who can't comprehend that one can make it big in crypto. I've a similar experience to yours.

So many dreams have been quashed just because the dreamer decides to live to please their family and friends stead of chasing their dream and passion. The fear to lose our loved ones for a dream we are unsure of the outcome but how can we know if we don't chase it by all means and determination. If we live our live to please other people we would only be living their own designed life for us and such a life is no different from being dead. 

Imagine how OP would have missed such opportunity in 2019/2020  if he had listened to his family and friends discouragement. Today they would have turned back mocking him of not following his dreams seeing how bitcoin has gained value today compared to sometime 2019.

They are still family, at least you have proved them wrong by chasing your dream and achieving it in ways they never expected, so prove them more wrong again by rendering them the help they seek. But render it to the limit you can be able to, don't milk yourself as a way to impress them.

Everyone seems to have a goal and a target in life,but everyone cannot end up being thesame in terms of how successful they would be.I believe everyone has destiny,but the effort individual put towards making that destiny a reality is what makes the difference.Some persons are born with a silver spoon,while some were not born into a wealthy background, therefore,before they will get to a certain height,or before they can be financially stable,they must work so hard,and do everything possible to be at the top,knowing very well that they weren't born with a silver spoon.

I belong to that category,who must work so hard to get to the height I want,in order for my dreams to be materialised,I put a set target for my self every year,and try my possible best to meet that target.This is what I've been doing,and I am happy the little way I am now,and with my progress so far,I know the future has the best for me.

Have you also thought about a world where the last to laugh, laughs the best. Those birthed with a silver spoon most often don't outsmart a determined person who wants to succeed in an industry but was born in an average home. It all depends on the tool each person works with, hand, brain or the both. An idea can't be bought with money except the person who has the idea wants to share and sell the idea. Hence the focus is for both the rich and broke, though it could be harder for the broke person yet it's an open market. The person with the most focus and tactics would win in the industry and top the industry. We all have to come up with ideas that'll get us to the top and as well outsmart our competitors. No matter how long it took for the dream to be achieved what matters is that it'll come to be real, that's the joy of a determined person regardless of their background.

Someone will start to trust us when we show established success. but if we invite someone to follow us even though we haven't found success then it's normal if someone doubts us and even belittles us.

that's why I prefer not to talk too much. I prefer to do more and prove it myself. because if we are successful then people will follow us automatically without us having to invite them first.

I agree with your opinion, I think maybe this is one of the right and good ways, and it doesn't seem to force someone to believe in Bitcoin but makes them believe and be aware of themselves because they see our success.
Because in my opinion, if we want to correct the misconceptions that have existed so far about the thoughts of people who still have a very negative view of Bitcoin and want to introduce Bitcoin to the wider community, we must first prove our success so that other people will be easily attracted and follow to adopt Bitcoin eventually.


and when someone asks for help or advice, it will be wiser if we continue to help and provide advice, but on condition that we are indeed able to help and provide advice that will not be misleading. if it's family or friends then we can help them even though they may have hurt our feelings but of course we don't want to hurt their feelings back. because we know how it feels like a pain that we feel when our heart hurts.

Yes you are right, as human beings we should help each other and always do good. Even if someone belittles us or doubts us, we shouldn't hold grudges against them. Because life will sometimes need each other.
Our life is sometimes not always in a good condition, it could be that one day we are in a bad condition and really need help, if we hold grudges and don't help someone who used to underestimate us, but it turns out that a good opportunity to help us is someone who used to belittle and doubt us.
If something like that happens, we will definitely regret our attitude and behavior towards that person.
