I agree - I think there is a very important difference between being enthusiastic about the BTC and taking to shop owners, friends, family members about the possibilities, freedom BTC has to offer and to making people jealous by saying stuff that they can interpret as you having lots of BTC. I think jealous people are dangerous in general and this should be avoided in general, not only with BTC.

I get asked a lot how many coins I got or at what price I bought my first coin. I usually say that I sold all my BTC years ago for a small amount and that it was biggest mistake ever. I am now slowly collecting and hodling/using, but no crazy amounts.

It is very hard because I love talking about BTC with people but I do not want to give them financial advice or making them jealous. That's why I just stick to the technology side and long-term view.
