I was once in a family reunion and someone poked me saying that a relative wants to talk to me about bitcoin because he thinks that it's a pyramid scheme. First of all, why do people feel entitled of my attention just because he think bitcoin is a bad thing and that's what I spend most of my time on. I ended up not approaching the person simply because it was a waste of my time and saliva (for talking). It's not like I'm going to earn money if I was able (which I know I could) to convince that specific person that bitcoin isn't a huge pyramiding scam.
Personally the reason why I stopped sharing my love of crypto to people is that I feel like I'm being taken advantage of. Whenever I sit down with people, all they want to talk about is what I do in front of the computer for 10 hours a day. And I'm just sitting there thinking that they know that a huge part of my day is already spent talking and learning about cryptocurrency so why would I want to talk about it for my free time.
Another reason is that people think I'm rich. I have money but it's all for my future plans. I once planned a meetup with a cousin. It was a simple lunch out, you know, just wanna catch up. And then, he replied "Will you treat us (him and his wife)?" and I said, "No." He said, "Then we're not going." I don't understand why do people think that it's my responsibility to feed them simply because I have more money than them. That's when I realized that they weren't interested in catching up, they are interested on free food.
"Money destroys people." That's what they say. What it actually does it destroy your relations with people because they start to think differently of you. That's why I'm staying lowkey as possible now.
This, people do not appreciate the effort needed to become good at something, it doesn't matter what it is they are going to ask for free lessons out of you not understanding that if I were to give lessons about it I will charge for it, I do not have the time to try to teach some ungrateful people about how bitcoin works when everything is there online for them to learn, if they want to learn that much then they can just Google whatever they want.
