Contrary to what the believe on your story, Sorry I won't believe all you said about losing your friends because you were not able to convince them about Bitcoin.

First is that, you don't need to convince anybody about Bitcoin because Bitcoin is a decentralized coin and doesn't need such advocacy. In fact only one single individual effort may not show any signicance in the growth of Bitcoin except you are a whale who is popular, then you can drive the market temporary though because the price will always move at the direction of halving current.

Another factor is that you have to be an ambassador of what you are preaching for people to believe what you say. If Bitcoin is a good investment then it has to show beginning from you because people have tendency of doubt on what they are not seeing evidently. For example as a gambler who is claiming to know how to analyze, predict and win then people around you should be able to see significantly the positive effect on you financially like your attire and general body look and achievement.

So if you are looking good and representing very well, your friends won't desert you because you try to convince them on bitcoin.
