My family members do not know much about crypto investment, so I feel comfortable that they do not know because if they do, I will be the one they use, and I cannot refuse to help them.
Investing money for someone in crypto or outside crypto is like using you as collateral, meaning you will have to answer for anything that goes wrong, some family members can be so cruel that they don't care.
Occasionally, I teach my friends about crypto, but it is because they want to learn and do something for themselves, not because they want someone else to do everything for them.
Topic: Your tips and tricks to orange pill your family and friends (Read 528 times)
It's interesting that « orange pill » really doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. For some the expression has a negative connotation, for others it is more than positive: the orange pill is also art in all its forms. Music, paintings, books ... A friend just sent me this:

In the end it all depends on how you look at bitcoin: either just a way to make money, or something else entirely.

I guess that many of you have already tried to orange pill family or friends. Personally, I've totally given up on the idea.
Some people have asked me to invest a few hundred euros for them, in which case I would have to be their banker... They don't even want to know how to install a wallet or even buy a hardware wallet. In short, I refuse to be a banker.
And you, have you also given up? Or are you persevering with unstoppable tricks?

With the increasing popularity Bitcoin is gaining, I find it hard to resist some of my closest friends' requests, so what I do is spend a few hours explaining how to download and install a wallet, and how to buy/sell easily depending on the available options in my country. Clearly, I waste a lot of time with them, but I feel happy when they make a profit because of my help. However, Bitcoin and other crypto currencies used to be high risk assets. That is what I always try to emphasize.
For normal people, I usually send some links to videos that explain the basics. Anyway, as I believe in Bitcoin, I want everyone to know about it. At the same time, I don't want to be the reason for someone's loss, so I always try to be in the middle when it comes to giving advice on Bitcoin investments. I learn them, but don't clearly advise them to invest.

I personally don't, orange pill being naïve or aggressive, doesn't really matter to me. I just don't feel like the pressure should be on me. I have tried it before and they kept on checking it all the time and kept on bothering me with it anytime it went low, people do not understand market moves up and down, they only look for ups and I can't be bothered with that.Some people have asked me to invest a few hundred euros for them, in which case I would have to be their banker...

Anyone who understands the situation should be considered as a good investor and I would be delighted to help such a person, but you do not know if a person is like that beforehand or afterwards, you know that it is going to be a terrible idea to get them in and then they are going to bother you every time bitcoin drops a dollar. I am fine without that headache and don't need it in my life.
I don't stress myself to teach anyone about financial investment and what to hold as an asset, and bitcoin is a formidable asset with high volatility and risk that need a lot of knowledge and experience to understand how it market work and to default the misconception among people that bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme.
Many of those that are trying to pick interest in Bitcoin are all with the idea of Bitcoin being an overnight exit, and this has affected their ability to comprehensively analyse Bitcoin and how to take its resultant risks approach with a fundamental knowledge.

That wouldn't really work, I've tried it on my family, and taking investment from them wouldn't really make a profit because they don't really understand how the market works or even how Bitcoin works. Without understanding how the market works they easily think that the money was lost or taken by me but I just invested it in Bitcoin and other top cryptocurrencies in the market. They are not patient enough to make the hold thinking that after just a few months they already have a certain percentage of profit even though I already explain to them that they might lose all of their investment if the market was down, and they need to hold for a long time at that point.
They just don't want to invest on their own maybe because they just doesnt have time for it, And that's the point you don't really need to encourage them to invest we just need to explain what and how to invest on it and then let them decide if they really wanted to invest on their own, because if he's not the one that is going to invest on her own it just doesn't work. So in my situation, it is just better to give up since I already did my part I'll just let them decide.
With practically every user, this occurs. They are impossible to misidentify because they don't even register or complete any applications. It must be done for them by us. In this situation, they won't participate. Not the family, not even the group of friends. I engaged in such business with a friend, which negatively impacted our relationship. After that, I firmly advise that you buy, sell, or do whatever you want; I can just offer suggestions and send you instructions.
I don't even try because 99% of the people I know in general doesn't know crap about investing. Me pushing bitcoin to them is just going to likely cause problems for me(and them) that it really isn't worth it.
If they ask me about Bitcoin, I answer their questions — but there's no way I'd tell them to be buying it. It's up to them to make that decision.
It’s the safest way not to be blame in the future. Though I used to educate people about bitcoin before, but never in my whole life trying to convince them to buy this certain coin because I know that crypto is very uncertain, they might put their blame on me when their coins end up losing their value. Even with bitcoin, still I can’t assure that it’s going to be profitable consistently in the future, that’s why I just tell them to educate themselves first before deciding to invest. If they ask me about Bitcoin, I answer their questions — but there's no way I'd tell them to be buying it. It's up to them to make that decision.
It's the same with most things in life: You can't force anyone to
- a more healthy lifestyle
- a more healthy relationship
- a new path for monetary success
or anything else that needs a change in perspective from their current status quo.
Bitcoin in that regard is above average challanging - a completely new *THING* that's usually way out of scope of comprehension for the average civilian without any prior knowledge on the topic.
The only way is to sometimes mention an interesting fact about Bitcoin every once in a while - maybe something sticks and makes them curious enough to put in the time and energy to start investigating by themself. Maybe. Pobably not, though.
My experience is, that many people prefere to hold on to their narrow believe-system even though evidence is getting stronger and stronger, that they might be in the wrong. So I would avoid putting in too much energy.
In any case, I love to recommend Andreas Antonopoulos videos: https://www.youtube.com/@aantonop/videos

I just simply ignore it out and tell them about certain website links that shows off bitcoin information basics and to those wallets and some insights about scams and frauds online specially on crypto space.Some people have asked me to invest a few hundred euros for them, in which case I would have to be their banker...

Ive been how many times been approached by some family members or relatives in regarding about handling out their money and invest for them which i did refuse.I dont really like for me on getting
blamed and i dont want for them to expect some positive results out of their investment which its likely going to be a mess if bear market comes.
This is why its better to redirect them into those sites which do really give out the whole idea on what it is and knows on how to start.

What I fear the most for anyone who wants me to tell them how to buy Bitcoin and coming to the market at the wrong time, the wrong time in the sense that when Bitcoin continues to go low without respecting any support, those are the thing I fear because new people who have not to experience anything will find it difficult to digest loss when it is there first time. So, when anyone asks me to teach them Bitcoin, my first rule of teaching is to show them the risk involve and after that has been digested, then I will open the profits side but even at the conclusion, I make sure I centered my discussion on risk and then cover it up with the benefits of being a bitcoin holder.
If you fear suggesting others to buy Bitcoin when it is crashing then don't tell them to invest. You can explain how the market of Bitcoin work without telling them to buy and hold Bitcoin. Explaining Bitcoin to people do not necessarily need to make them buy Bitcoin. Their knowledge and observation will tell them whether they have to jump into the Bitcoin wagon or not. Convincing them to buy Bitcoin will only give you problem when the investment don't go the way intended. So we do not need any trick or convincing for these people to invest in Bitcoin. They have their mind and observation. They will know if it is necessary for them to invest or not.

Introducing someone to crypto, and advising them to buy bitcoin, is a risk on its own, let alone having to invest for someone.Some people have asked me to invest a few hundred euros for them, in which case I would have to be their banker...

A couple of friends have come to me in time past asking me to invest for them, this is after i introduce them to crypto, they came with the excuse that the technicalities are too much and they are afraid of making mistakes, i just tell them no, that I can't invest for anyone.
I can teach you how to get married, but don't ask me to give you my daughter to marry, because if I wanted you to marry my daughter, I would have told you that I Want you to marry my daughter while teaching you how to get married.
Invest for someone, alongside managing their investments for them is something I would never dare do, except for my wife and kids, I wouldn't do it for other family members, let alone friends.
Actually I don't want them to, you may call myself selfish which is true somehow but the main reason is I don't want to mix up finance with relationship because it mostly will end up in bad situation so just let them what they do and if tou feel they are doing something wrong then you can give your suggestions about how to succeed from it but its their choice to decide what to do and we can't analyse or force someone to invest in something what we are interested.
That is not a bad reflection on life though, I would agree with that. If you put finance and relations together, the relations would get damaged when finances are damaged. If you take money from your friends, even if they begged you to do it, then when you put it in bitcoin you will end up being upset that you lost money, even if they say nothing it will feel bad.I did it for a family member, they wanted to put a small amount, an amount I could just give them even if all of it was gone, but when they lost it I felt terrible, they are back to profit again thankfully but it was a terrible feeling. So all in all, I understand your point of view, and that should not be an issue for you at all, it should be totally understood at this moment.

Like you, I have also given up.They look at me like an alien whenever I bring up the subject of cryptocurrency at the dinner table. It just seems ridiculous that the currency I am talking about I cannot show them a physical one whenever they ask me to produce it so that they can make a proper comparison with the local currency. I have already vowed that one day I am going to get the 1 bitcoin coin and show it to tell. But for now, I just keep doing my thing.

I've been in the crypto for 5 years, but it's the first time that I've heard that term "Orange Pill" being used.And you, have you also given up? Or are you persevering with unstoppable tricks?
That's the proof that I really need to do some more research, and gain more knowledge.
Invest for them? Nahhh don't do it. I would never do that thing as well if I'm in your shoes. You will invest for them, and then if you gain profit? You will give some to them. Funny how these lazy people are thinking right? They are doing things the easy way, and they will use somebody for their own sake.
Just forget about those people who aren't interested in Bitcoin. I don't want to convince them myself as well. I will only answer them once they asked me something that is related to Bitcoin, but to convince them to buy Bitcoin? I will not do it because of two things. One is, I want them to learn what Bitcoin is, then let them decide whether they will invest or not. Two is, I don't want to be blamed once they lose money because they invested into Bitcoin.
But wait, maybe there's wisdom in those slackers' ways. Who isn't tempted by a nifty shortcut? Let's outsource our investing, kick back, and witness the cash avalanche. Smooth sailing, right? Alright, I'm goofing around. But on a serious note, owning our investments and doing our homework is crucial. And if Bitcoin isn't someone's cup of tea, their loss! More crypto cake for us, eh?

Yeah me too. I have been seeing of late hreads talking about the matrix and I thought maybe this was referring to the Morpheus blue pill red pill scene in the Matrix movie, turns out I don’t know what I was talking about lol. That's the proof that I really need to do some more research, and gain more knowledge.
I don't know why this common among humans but everyone wants to cut to the results of how you have benefited so much from bitcoin but I feel they only know this because we actually try to introduced or tell them of how bitcoin is wonderful instead of explaining the full context, maybe if we start to tell them about the bad side which is the whole volatility aspect of bitcoin maybe we can get genuine friends or family members that are willing to investment despite knowing this.

It seems that I also have a lot more to learn as I am also new to the term "Orange Pill". That's the proof that I really need to do some more research, and gain more knowledge.
It was very unfamiliar to me when I first read this thread.
I too am learning every day and I thought it was a well-known expression

There's no convincing when someone you know or someone around you doesn't understand Bitcoin and doesn't want to know about it. Convincing newbies to buy Bitcoin will only be a disaster and it will reflect badly on your reputation when the investment goes badly.
Just provide general knowledge about Bitcoin so that they are familiar with Bitcoin and investment advice is really not needed.
Let them choose what to do next.
