I experienced the same thing as you even though maybe my neighborhood is not as big as other cities.
They think I'm a joke because they want to invest in bitcoin in 2016, then at the end of 2017 the bitcoin trend here has started to be talked about.
Many people are starting to find out what bitcoin is like and how to get it instantly. And now they are a joke to me because they still hope there is a way to get bitcoin instantly without needing to do anything.
Topic: You the local Bitcoin joke in town? - page 4. (Read 768 times)
this is similar to my place where many people say bad about bitcoin, but I understand because they might not understand and don't know much about crypto so they buy bitcoin without my knowledge and suffer a big loss, maybe if they are not hypocritical and ask me of course I will direct when to buy and sell it, unfortunately they see the news and finally buy it bitcoin at the end of 2017 and they hold it and sell it at the end of 2018, but in 2020 I will show those who laugh at will see how bitcoin and crypto develops at certain times
Indirectly, they buy bitcoin only because the orientation on money is not knowledge. They were carried away by the FOMO at the time, they assumed a currency would not go down, in fact all currencies were volatile, yeah really a victim of FOMO and carelessness.
See, maybe now they are making fun of bitcoin again, then when bitcoin rises again, they will regret and buy again. And that is the second mistake that recurs, buying when prices are high haha.
Now, this might sound strange, but a few years ago Bitcoin was doing very well and people sat up straight and Bitcoin grabbed their
attention. (Around 2017 when the Bitcoin price reached it's all time high of around $18 000 per bitcoin.) Many people started to take
Bitcoin seriously and they thought it would go mainstream soon.
I was one of them and I told that to everyone that took the time to listen and some of them did. A lot of my friends bought bitcoins at
the all time high, believing that the price would skyrocket to $20 000 or even $50 000 per coin. As you know this did not happen and the
price dropped with more than 80%.
Since then a lot of us Bitcoiners became the laughing stock and the butt of the joke for the people who were too scared to take the
risk.
I hope we can prove them wrong and that we can turn this around in 2020 and have the last laugh, but I hope this is not too late for
the majority of my friends who are holding on with the tip of their fingers.

As much as we wanted to prove them wrong, only time can do it. We cannot force anything to happen especially Bitcoin price movement unless we have the huge fund and big stash of Bitcoin. If they (your friend) still believe with what you said, it will never be too late but once they had give up no matter how high Bitcoin goes up on the future, it can do nothing to prove to them that they are wrong since they already suffered losses the moment they sold their Bitcoin holdings.
Why should we care if people would be laughing at us? It's still a win for us if Bitcoin rise. This who laughed at us are the one who doesn't know and wouldn't want to learn about Bitcoin. They're the one who will envy us if Bitcoin will do good within this year. I don't care if people is laughing at us, as long as me and my friends know what we can achieve in the future.
I have been criticized from being a bitcoin lover since 2018. Mind you, they laughed at me telling over and over again about the pessimistic side of bitcoin as investments. They have said I never proved anything with this. But the moment I have obviously presented my profits, my fruit of labor, that was the time that they took btc seriously.
Since 2017 was a boom year and fortunately I knew btc 2018 but I still manage to fulfill my dreams, use it and reshare my knowledge to my family and friends. Now, we are patronizing cryptocurrecies, trading and take it as a job now.

Unfortunately my excitement over Bitcoin in late 2017 encouraged several of my friends to "invest" which led some to lose most of it to trading gambling, one lost all their holdings in the Quadrigacx exit scam, another bought at 17.5K and still holds but does not talk about it or believe much about it anymore. I do know what its like to be the outlier, the one nobody believes in. I'm close to a group of 12 investors of which I am the only one to take the proverbial red BTC pill. Although I'm respected, my credibility is thin when it comes to discussion of finance.
I've learned the hard way to keep my mouth shut when it comes to talking about Bitcoin in person. Now, unless someone really and authentically wants to learn and keeps bringing it up, I'll change the topic.
Bitcoin is a personal journey into finance, savings, sovereign monetary policy, greed, discovery, euphoria, denial, loss, personal responsibility, solutions and much more. I'm not yet prepared to deliver Bitcoin effectively in conversation with today's general level of education and attention span, especially when all they usually want to know is "How do I buy it?"

We can't fault with many investor keep complain with bitcoin have lower price today because they are investing in bitcoin when price above $16k, how ever they look frustrated with bitcoin price why can dump drastically although have higher price, more than two year waiting for bitcoin back to higher price but looks no enough and have added maybe two year later for getting back their money in bitcoin investment.
OP, I noticed that you always construct your posts in broken paragraphs. Is there something wrong with your keyboard, or monitor/screen?
About Bitcoin, the bear market will never go on forever.

Too bad for you. I understand that the bull run brings FOMO to you, but riding on a market that's been riding for quite a time is generally a bad idea. Though this year might get you off. If you have some of that left, you might even exit the market for a return or even gains. But that's 2 years ago, not sure if you still have those.
People got hyped when the price of the bitcoin became expensive, now they are experiencing losses because they still hold their positions. The bitcoin have bad image in my community because people do not really understand what it is. Their money is now gone because they invested without prior knowledge and it is their fault why they have huge losses.

People who doesn't have knowledge on how currencies work or in any trading markets will laugh at it, thinking as its some kind of ponzi scheme because they needed to invest in it like other pyramiding but both have huge differences, ponzi scheme's need investors for other investors to payout in proportions and you can't withdraw your money unless you complete the minimum amount, while bitcoin on the other hand can be used as payment for services and commodities and even invest in it, for it is an asset used in crypto market.

in 2020, of course we can only hope because besides that we certainly cannot do anything because bitcoin cannot be controlled by anyone, hopefully bitcoin prices can rise back to high levels to prove that bitcoin is not a joke that should be laughed at by them so some of them realize that bitcoin is good for adoption not for making jokes.

This can happen when we became so overeager or very excited about something, and we use our word-of-moth power to promote something even if we are not paid doing so or nobody told us to do it. Nevertheless, we owe a lot to people like you who in one way or another made Bitcoin as popular as it is today. What happened after the ATH in 2017 was something that many wide-eyed and zealous Bitcoiners never predicted to come and now we already learned our big lessons. Neophytes as we were then, we jumped into something with both feet and many even burned bridges believing that Bitcoin can be their financial savior. However, right now, I would say that there is a mild Bitcoin renaissance and if you were lucky enough to had entered Bitcoin when the price was still below $2000 then its current price of $7500 is not bad at all, compared to other investment vehicles available in the market. We are then hoping that come December 2020 we can say that this is a very good year for Bitcoin indeed!
some people are not ready for risk, so I have never told anyone to invest in bitcoin, because I know very well the risk of investing in bitcoin, I only exchange opinions with people who already understand about bitcoin, so no one can blame each other if the price does not match expectations.

Oof.
I wouldn't have allowed that to happen.
I knew the bubble was done when someone who'd been aware of crypto for years called up and said he was going to buy $3 XRP. He got slapped upside the head.
Everyone I told about it got some from me for free. That helps.
absolutely right, I guess that's what I'm experiencing too. In 2017, I was very active in promoting bitcoin to my friends, but now they are very sorry, and even made fun of me, because the price of bitcoin is thrown away from their plans.

I am lucky to have some good friends, they did not laugh at me when my financial situation fell with the fall of Bitcoin. Although there are some people who laugh at me, but I do not care about it. enough to work hard to re-collect Bitcoin and hope to close their mouths with the new ATH of Bitcoin. risk.
