If you are a crypto newbie, make sure you set your mind on your goals, do not be discouraged by anyone, people can't see the future, we are not gods or demigods who can read the future, do not listen to any naysayers.
Actually you will not being discouraged if don’t tell them what you are doing. You don’t have any obligations to encourage them on what you are doing because it’s your own decision and you discover it by yourself so why will you being affected by others that doesn’t have any experience on it. Most of the non crypto user that discouraging is simply just afraid on the risk and being left behind that’s why they are dragging down others to not do the risky investment so that they will be the same in the end.
Crypto is anonymous, I myself trading and investing in crypto for more than 5 years without noticing by my family. I don’t talk to them about crypto investment so my life is very peaceful without any judgement from them.
