And at that time I often discussed or told about Bitcoin to some of my friends with positive things, be it about news, developments and also its potential to some of my friends who were already involved in the world of Bitcoin, because I myself knew and learned about Bitcoin from some of my friends who at that time Bitcoin was not so popular.
In the past, there were less educational resources on Bitcoin and if you wanted to learn about Bitcoin, you had to do more decent learning efforts to find documents for reading and learning than now. In 2025, fortunately there are abundant free resources to learn about Bitcoin, and I am not talking about Youtube videos that in my opinion, are not too good for learning.

I like reading books and similar things to learn about Bitcoin, I mean learning through text resources than videos.

Because for now if someone talks about Bitcoin then it is considered to have Bitcoin and I am more careful to avoid things that I don't want, and other reasons. Having Bitcoin they will judge having a lot of money because of Bitcoin and potentially they will borrow money or other negative things that make me uncomfortable.
I think if you introduce Bitcoin to your family relatives and friends or colleagues, you will have more troubles than benefits. It's their money and you surely won't get benefit from their investment, but you will feel like partially responsible for their loss in investment or trading. I know you possibly only advise them about investment, and warn them about risk of trading, but if they invest or trade in a wrong way and lose money, you won't feel well.

In addition, they can blame their loss or big loss on you, and it's nothing good for you mentally.
