I have a friend who works in the same profession as me, during a pandemic like this the workplace situation has changed drastically, we can't expect much from our income. and since I already have investments in crypto it's not a big problem for me i still can survive rely on some of my investments for emergency situations. but for my friend not as lucky as me, but I introduced him to crypto investing last year and he began to receive profits from his investment even though it was not much, he is currently enjoying investing in memes coin although it's a little dangerous but I think as long as it makes a profit for me it's fine.
Well, the pandemic is reviving a lot of unfamiliar relationships and refreshing ways to make money, I also have a few friends who are not financially stable and came to me for help with making money in crypto and to share frankly, I refuse quite a lot because there are quite a few people who have joined before and do not respect advice, they rely on independent and conservative thinking rather than listening and maybe like your colleagues, looking for coin meme projects and very strange projects to invest. Failed quite a lot due to such kind of joins and I don't have too much patience to take care of such people
Yes the recent ATH of Bitcoin, has been an eye opener for many investors and to those who have not even thought of investing as well. As you say, my friends have been watching me being in crypto since 2016. I used to even practically show them the proof of earning and investing. But none believed and there were rumors that all bitcoin investors will loose their money one day. But as the time passed by, especially this year, many called me enquiring for the right crypto coin to invest. I explained them the ups and downs of investing on crypto coins. Yes its our responsibility to share our knowledge with newbies as we are here from the beginning.
