For the crying out loud, stop telling your friends and family to invest in crypto

The first and only rule of persuading people to invest in cryptocurrencies is don’t.We all want this community and the market to grow. I also understand that you want your friends and family to catch this golden opportunity. But persuading them to put their money in something they’re uncommitted to, leads to FUD and paper hands.Understand that telling them, “I earned X amount in X days” translates to “[you could’ve] earned X amount in X days [but didn’t].” In their minds. You’re leveraging their fear of missing out. Trust me, I would’ve loved to take the leap of faith back in 2016 when I found out about crypto. I didn’t and I’m okay with that because, this year, I took the opportunity. Today, I live with missing out on those gains because it was the logical decision for me then. So let them decide what’s logical to them now.If you’re itching to share, then talk about it like a passion or hobby. Share the fundamentals: what it’s trying to solve; how it made an impact; what you’ve learned: what you’re excited about, share the good and the bad. Most of all, share with zero expectations that they’ll invest or even care.If you really believe in the value of cryptocurrency—the gains, opportunities, tech, and values—then let it speak for itself. It doesn’t need evangelists, it isn’t a religion; it’s a show, so grab your popcorn and sit the hell down!
