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.
I can't really hold them responsible for their lack of support for you because they might be ignorance of cryptocurrency industry, and given that you mentioned that you lost some money in trading at the time, it's possible that they might be reason that lead to discouragement because they don't want you to lose too much money. Do you know that a lot of people have lost a significant amount of money in online investing because they didn't have someone to advice them in initial stage.
However, I am aware that when you are knowledgeable about what you are doing, you should never give up, regardless of the challenges you face. I think this gives you more courage to leave your family and friends.
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.
You might need their assistance in the future, so if you are heartless toward them now, it might be challenging to get their assistance back. As for me, I will definitely lend a hand because that is not the end of life and I know that is not everything money do.
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.
We should only remain adamant on what we have good knowledge about and trust.we also try and listen to some advise some time if not the person may end in nothing after he/she may refuses to listen to any advise,the both have is advantages and disadvantages.
