I think that I scare some folks away from investing into bitcoin too... since I tend to tell then that they have to be responsible for their own choices and not come crying to me if they lose money.. yet at the same time, I am frequently saying that bitcoin investing is ongoingly likely amongst the best if not the best place for everyone and anyone all around the world with discretionary income to put their time, energy and value.
To be honest, I tell people like that as well, and I believe it is the best thing to do because the majority of people who are new to bitcoin believe it is an investment that will provide them with a quick profit in return. If you do not inform the newbies that they are responsible for their losses if they invest, and Bitcoin investment does not guarantee a large return, many of their expectations will be high, perhaps Bitcoin will provide them with a profit they have never seen before.
You're not doing anything wrong, in my opinion, even though Bitcoin is the best investment that is worth our money. However, we must let some people know that they are responsible for any losses they face because some people may choose to invest in something other than Bitcoin and if they lose their money; they will blame you for introducing them to Bitcoin.
