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. However, as time went by we had our own busy lives and also had families that made us rarely meet, and I never discussed or told about Bitcoin other than with them and even though Bitcoin is currently very popular and maybe only a few members of my family because they have an interest in getting involved and until now some members of my family have felt the benefits and besides that I never discussed or told about Bitcoin to anyone. 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.

Knowledge of Bitcoin technology does not mean that you are a Bitcoin holder, but I completely agree with you that if you have Bitcoin, it is better not to talk to anyone about cryptocurrencies at all, because you cannot be 100% sure that your conversation partner will not want to find out more about your savings and possibly try to take possession of your funds. As practice shows, sometimes even the best friends/relatives betray you because of financial interests. Therefore, it is better not to talk about cryptocurrencies to anyone at all.

I can relate to this how Bitcoin started as something I shared in close circles driven by curiosity and learning. It’s wise in today’s world where people often equate crypto with instant wealth which can bring unwanted assumptions or pressure.

Yeah sometime money can change how people treat you even those close to you. That reality made me more guarded too. I think staying low-key and protecting your peace is more important than proving anything to anyone.
