There is always a man in the family who believe they are the smartest, I have an uncle who is currently the most successful one in the family, maybe that's why he is behaving this way, he knew my involvement with crypto and Bitcoin, and after the crash into bear market he called me and said ..

Are you still into Bitcoin? You need to find something else to do, Bitcoin will fail soon because there is nothing that can take away the money printing machines, the government will keep printing money because they like been the printer, they can't print Bitcoin that's why it will fail, stop living a dream and do something good with your life before it's too late.

At first I got angry, because he always believe he knows the best for everyone, and I am different, I am not like my brothers that fall before his kneels every time. I replied him with this.

Why are you so into what I am doing? Why did you take this so serious than anything else? You have never showed concern about me, I have never asked you for help and you fulfill it, if Bitcoin fails it's fine for me, and Bitcoin was never created to kill Fiat in the first place, it was created to support people like me, because no one wants to support people like us but they want to pretend they do.. Fiat is Centralized and Bitcoin is Decentralized, it's for the people and the community, it's freedom and a perfect home 🏠. I can't hate something that have helps me so many times uncle.

Have I said something too harsh? He took this personal and report me to my eldest brother, my brother said I shouldn't mind, he doesn't know that my brother is now also a Bitcoin investor, my mistake was making it public, which my brother never did.

If you are still planning to get into Bitcoin, don't post anything about it in family group chat or on your WhatsApp status, this was my biggest mistake.

Well, if it is about criticism, I don't really mind. What I fear with publishing contents related to this blockchain, is to encourage some people who are close to me. Why? 'coz if anything happens then they'd blame me somehow for it even if they are the one who insisted investing. What's more likely to happen is for them to think that I have invested and therefore, profit is assured. But unfortunately, that's not how things work in this industry or to any field of investment. There would always be risk and the only thing an investor could do is to manage that risk in order to not lose that much. I am okay with sharing informations but direct encouragement is another thing, I guess.

If I'm not wrong OP should change the way he introduce bitcoin to new people. Atleast prior to introduction we should understand what kind of people we're talking with. Not everyone have the mind to accept it, when they've got good sum of fiat. Maybe thats the reason why uncle keeps saying something against bitcoin. It is always necessary to make some connect with the public regarding bitcoin. One should not expose that he's bitcoiner. We should simply introduce about the existence or while discussion happens relative to technology.

Well, for me it is okay to announce what you are doing. The consequences on the other hand is another thing which would depend to you, on how you would handle. As I've said I'm fine with other people criticizing my investments but I do get the point that some investors will take it personally and that is the case being silent is more advisable.
