Correct. And the most memorable thing is that when we told our family and friends, many didn't believe it and underestimated it.
If you have ever talked about it to your friends, relatives, you will have painful experience because I beg that most of them will not believe in what you are talking. More painful, they even think you are a scammer.
It wasn't until they realized that Bitcoin was becoming more popular on local TV shows and saw what I could do and buy with Bitcoin that they became interested. But I was cold to them, because I was afraid they would want to invest or buy bitcoin with the mindset of making money quickly/big profits.
You even don't have to reveal yourself to your friends or relatives that you are a Bitcoin investor. It will break your privacy that in my opinion, should always be hidden and protected as best as possible.
If they know it, let them be, don't talk to them anything. If they need your help, they will knock your doors and ask you. Then if you are ready, you can help them but I am against idea to proactively give them any lecture.
It's no secret that Bitcoin is so volatile and violent. For ordinary people, they will feel a loss if Bitcoin falls freely. Therefore, I only give advice and bitter experiences. If they are interested, please continue, otherwise it means they don't want to learn and look for further information.
Everyone in this space will start with doubt, uncertainty and surely fear too but a more time they are in this space, a bigger belief they will have about future of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency market.
If blockchain technology is a great one, serves the human society to make it better, the cryptocurrency market will be here to stay and by staying over the years, it will become bigger and stronger.
