I will not persuade friends to buy bitcoin. But if one of them decides to buy and just waits for the right time, I'll tell him to buy now. Now is a good time to buy, I think
I will advice newbies that they should first learn that investing on bitcoin and other cryptocurrency does not mean an easy money, i will advice them investing in bitcoin is a long term investment that's why they need to have a long patience.
Well said narukami. I would add to that learn all you can about trading in stocks and forex so you can buy Bitcoin at the right times. Forex is a good one because it is also manipulated by governments so you can learn how to deal with that.
I would recommend you read Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude by Mark Douglas. I thought it was a book about trading techniques but it was not. It was a book of psychologically why we make decisions we do when buying, selling and trading stocks or anything else like Bitcoin. It was tremendous in setting me free from a lot not just in trading but in life.
