This is right but the issue is that OP's uncle is an asshole and that's why OP is regretting being open about involvement with bitcoin. I think that the livid response wasn't necessary but it was unavoidable and forgivable considering OP didn't choose to debate out the issue and the uncle is still pestering OP. Always remember, keep your cards to yourself, never reveal yours until the river is revealed.

I don't like publicizing everything on social media, especially my investments and work, because I don't like noise. But I agree with you that we should stand our ground no matter what people say or do to us. We must remember that they never raised us even for a day and are not responsible for our future. So there's no reason for us to listen or bother with what they have to say. We should decide our own future, whether success or failure and at least we are living life to the fullest and giving our best.

There is no need to regret your mistake, you would have thought that someone like your uncle will be able to understand and maybe help you but it turns out the other way, not all those we called a family wants the best for us that's why we need to be careful, and my biggest prayer is to never allow an enemy in my circle as a friend, these types of enemies are also sometimes in the families.

I want you to know that not all families are the same, some people have very good families that support each other through anything.

Some people even make all their families bitcoin investors and things are going on fine.

So it's possible that some families will not support some people that plan to do something that's not very common like crypto, sometimes it's out of enviousness and sometimes it's out of love, trying to make sure their brothers and sisters don't become a victim to online scam.

It's on you to figure out which category your family belongs.

Your title said it all, you made a mistake by making your Bitcoin involvement public because the first fundamental thing to do is to keep high privacy, this is one of the major features of Bitcoin, then why make it pronounced to others to know you are an investors?
For security reasons is not safe to do so and I will advise you to ignore the bad mouthed uncle and try to avoid him.

The way I look at it, @OP had not given any good result yet on his Bitcoin venture, reason why his uncle advice him what he thinks is good for @OP. Sadly @OP took it as an insult and react with a disrespectful answer.  I have the same experience when my parents told mo to look for another source of extra income when my venture on cryptocurrency did not have any result yet.  I just listen to them and explain things to them in a respectful way.  After a year or two, my effort is rewarded and I got a great result that made my parents change their minds and support my crypto venture.


I agree, we need to be careful in teaching people.  Not all have a kind heart, others are jealous and greedy and will do bad things when they got a chance to take advantage of you.

very well-said and you will find out that you will have peace of mind doing your own thing if no one knows what you are doing. people tend to interfere other person's business. that's human nature i believe.
so yeah, that's a good lesson for the OP. be discreet and silent with your crypto activities. you don't need to post whatever you are doing. this is also to avoid getting into unnecessary arguments to people.
