I realized right away that nothing good would come of it: either they would spend the early years laughing at you because they think it's a scam, or spend later years pissed at you that you became rich (on a scam asset in their minds) and won't share the wealth with them.
Those are the only two options? Do you only know shitty people?
Yep...with the exception of the WO gentlemen, that's all the world is full of now.
All joking aside though, even if they didn't do those two things above, the more likely outcome is complete ambivalence toward Bitcoin.
From the stories I've seen here and elsewhere on the net, looks like hiding my ownership of btc was the right call after all.
I get to have all of the financial upsides, and none of the social downsides.
