I've talked to some friends here and there about Bitcoin - you know, explaining the basic idea of how it works as a digital currency and why I personally geek out over it.  A few buddies were intrigued enough to read up more on their own after we chatted, but eventually decided taking the plunge into crypto wasn't really their thing.  And hey, that's totally fine!

But there was this one time I was chatting to my friend over beers and he seemed seriously pumped about the whole Bitcoin concept after I rambled on about it and  even transferred a bit of money over to dip his toes in.  For a few weeks he was stoked because the price kept climbing and his investment was looking sweeter by the day.  But welp, as so often happens in crypto markets, a correction dip came.  Value started dropping hard and fast.  He totally panicked and sold at a loss just wanting out.  Poor guy! I haven't heard him talk about Bitcoin or investing since, lol.  Guess I scared him off! Ah well.
