All of my close circle friends consider crypto as scams, and I cannot convince them at all. They all bought some meme coins and lost, or have heard stories of people getting wrecked on NFT coins, so they blame Bitcoin for all the scams. When I argue, "Why don't you buy Bitcoin?" they say it's not profitable. When I counter back with, "If you had bought $6k BTC last year, it would now be around $10k instead you chose some meme coin that online gurus talk about, and now you blame Bitcoin," they still don’t listen. Nowadays, I’ve started to lose friends over these arguments, and I'm not good online Instagram or Discord either.
Your friends have not gained proper knowledge about Bitcoin so they blame Bitcoin. Actually Bitcoin is the best currency among cryptocurrencies. Other memecoins can be called scams but Bitcoin is always trusted. Your friends were wrong they lost money by investing in Memcoins, they should have invested in Bitcoin. All those who have invested in Bitcoin in the past and held it for a long time have made a profit. Ask your friends to look at Bitcoin's history, and ask them to look at Bitcoin's price chart. If they don't invest now, they will regret the present time in the future. If someone doesn't want to invest in Bitcoin, don't force anyone.
