I spent five years away from friends and family, because whenever I bring up how crypto can be life-changing they always discourage me, maybe because I lost some money to few trades and I was not that good at trading at the time, I got mad one day and I left the city and move to another city, because they won't let me be and they felt I will waste my life away.
You took the right decision to leave the city because they would have really discouraged you to abandon what you so much believed in. To avoid a confrontation that might lead to an argument or even fighting, it is better to walk away. Most families will feel the same way because they expect you to get a job and raise a family but they are disappointed because you are always in front of a computer or phone and you are also losing money. They might think you are wasting your time and money.
Today, I now own a home and a nice ride, I was able to get married and settle down, but now they feel like they made a huge mistake for not listening to me. I believe this was the best decision I've ever made, I was able to gathered some BTC in 2019 to 2020 bear market and also with the help of my trading skills.
You are very fortunate to benefit from your bitcoin trading or investment. Some other unlucky people lost their money investing in Bitcoin. And you also maximized your profit by using it to settle your basic needs, that's commendable.
I don't know why and now they are asking for my help, I have to do it since they are my family, and even my friends are asking for help, would you help your discouraging friends if you are in my shoe? They were my friends, but not anymore, I believe friends should be supportive of each other, am I wrong.
If you have the means to assist them, please don't hesitate to do it. It is not everybody that will accept your business idea because they might have another perspective on your business idea. It is not everyone that understands the bitcoin sector. Some people believe it is a scam so they will speak to you based on their level of understanding.
If you are a crypto newbie, make sure you set your mind on your goals, and 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.
It is not bad to get advice from people. But you should ensure that they are knowledgeable about the area they are advising you on. It is also important to do your research before taking any business or investment decision.
