And I do when they ask me about my interests. I'm pretty confident in Bitcoin and those who know me know not to try that laughing stance with me.
I've been there when the price was 1000 dollars and I've been there when it was 20 thousand. There's really not much they can do to me. What will they say? That It was down 80%? Fine but now it's down 65%. If you bought in January and sold now at 7.5 thousand you'd double your money. What's funny about that?
That's not what I'm talking about, I wouldn't care if people in real life would laugh about my potential losses with Bitcoin, but I don't want to give anyone investment advises, because I've seen a lot of times how people hold grudges against others for giving them poor advice.
Plus, there are additional downsides, like making yourself a potential victim of robbery, or giving people a perception that you are wealthy, which might give them an idea that they can ask you for money.
You said that you don't talk about it in public because you could be responsible for their losses. Wasn't that what you were talking about? I do the opposite. I don't care about their decisions it's their money and their responsibility. I talk about crypto and I talk about my investments and I'm not scared of being laughed at.
If they want to follow it's always their choice. I will never feel bad about it.
