First of all, I don't like discussing with people around me about my investment in Bitcoin. I prefer to stay anonymous than let people around me know that I am investing in Bitcoin.
A very good decision you have taken right there and everybody should do the same, discussing your investments portfolio with others does you no good. You're only fueling your hate form them and soon you'll become a target to evil doers in the world. People around us aren't meant to know what we're doing or into and when they ask, if you have something else that you can use to cover up that you're a Bitcoin investor, it is better to use that thing but when they come to learn and they know you're into crypto already, don't hesitate to teach them but don't disclose your wealth in the process to them or you'll be regretful when it backfire and you get into unnecessary problems because you told others about your wealth status.
The world and our society is becoming a very cruel and brutal place where one can’t even feel safe to share their process with the next person because you might end up get more haters than sincere good wishes and in a world like this, staying anonymous especially with your investment is key and I’ve seen wives killing their husbands and husbands killing their wives over properties and possessions and at this point, staying anonymous with your progress even from immediate family if you aren’t sure of them will do you more good.
To convince newcomers who want to become Bitcoin investors at this time, we don't have to give examples that exist in ourselves, but just show examples that have existed in other people such as investors who have succeeded through Bitcoin and have also grown a lot since they invested in Bitcoin. Because people who are really sure about Bitcoin will definitely not feel burdened to start even though they may not have much knowledge about Bitcoin.

Funny enough, people prefer seeing over some far away examples and that’s why, at the long run, it’s always very difficult for a newbie to convince the next person to invest in cryptocurrency so they’re forced to want to back their points with showing their portfolio which is a very wrong move but regardless we should all be very conscious of what we do.
