My brother and sister already buying ETH. And my neighbor now crazy trying to invest in other cryptocurrency after I introduce BTC to him last year. I can't advice them anymore because they now look at themselves like they are the sharpest tool in the financial literacy after earning from the bullrun.  Found out he bought bitconnect and manages to sell before they turned scam.

I used to sell bitcoin locally on LBC. I sold to more than 1000 people totalling over 6M dollars. I like to think that I helped spread bitcoin in the Kansas city area in some small way.

I have tried to educate people about bitcoin but it seems most of them really don't believe in its survival even after a decade lol. however i have managed to get some few friends and family to invest 20% into the purchasing of bitcoins and hold for long term.

Hopefully zero.

I hate the idea of giving other people investment advice. I can flip some altcoins here and there, but I am no market guru. If I told someone to buy, the market might crash for the next year straight. I'd feel horrible about that, so I never tell people to buy.

I drop hints that I use and trade Bitcoin sometimes, but I stick to the technology and general beginner stuff. I'm open about the fact that I think the price will be much higher someday, but when the discussion turns towards personal investments, I steer the subject elsewhere and tell them they're on their own.

I used to work as a consultant and broker for people who want to buy/sell bitcoin through exchanges but after some legal unconsciousness I had to stop it few years ago. So I would say more than 500 people but the amount might not be big in every cases, some want to buy a bulk without having any knowledge about crypto market and some really want to learn how crypto works by putting small amount of money.

Right now I am more focused on my own trading activities rather than helping others for small portion of commission. Giving investment ideas to other specially for crypto is worthless, most of the new buyers wants to buy at top so loss is imminent and you are the one who will get blame for those losses  

Does influencing someone to earn bitcoin and use platforms that are crypto base count? I have some friends who earn bitcoin now because of me. And some now chooses to make sports bet through sports book that uses bitcoin or altcoins.



That is true to my experience as well. Even after seeing the price of bitcoin pumping to its ath and having multiple platforms that uses bitcoin and other crypto, they still does not see its value. Maybe they are just too afraid of new technologies.

There are more than 10 of my friends bought bitcoins during 2017, because they saw and found out that I earned bitcoin and most of them just got hyped because of me, they've been thinking that by the time I got profit was easy they're when they've found is not that easy, they quit and leave bitcoin world and none of them failed to earn Bitcoin.

until now I have affected more than 10 people, 8 people have been buying and investing in bitcoin but the remaining 2 people still consider to invest because of the fear of the risks that may occur later in the day. but I always encourage their investment in bitcoin because in the future its value will go up significantly, associated risks can be properly managed.

1 or 2 I think, that just include a friend and someone that I know. I do want people to invest in these crypto currencies but it is just that I don't want to butt in myself and told them about this. So I just answer some people that know I am investing in such currencies. It is not that much but I hope they can do the things I can't, that includes inviting other people in.
