I did not say beg, force, sales pitch, etc. I just said convince the masses that 1 to 5% of existing savings can help all of us.

Nowadays, there is a literal meaning of what convincing says. It becomes a desperate move for the others and people look at the people who try to convince with a bad impression.

Exactly, they're all grown ups to understand whether investing in bitcoin is up to them after hearing the basics about it. We don't need to push hard as if we're all salesmen here. We've got experiences as well on how people have turned us down when we're so optimistically talking to them and spent time discussing the potential of bitcoin. And that's why that energy is no longer in us, if they want to invest, they will but if not, we don't need to push and force them and coming to the point of convincing them.

Exactly, gone are the days when bitcoin was very young that you preach the good news to people who aren't interested and we try to convince them. Anyone that's interested to invest in bitcoin wouldn't be forced because he's seeing it everyday on the news and social media how bitcoin is been talked about.

No matter how hard we try to convince the skeptical people about bitcoin, they will not still buy if they don't want to. My uncle is a good example. I told him about bitcoin earlier, he refused and called it a scam. I don't tell people about bitcoin anymore, only very close relatives.

Your experience is not different from me, that's why I am off with convincing people anymore about investing in bitcoin. Many of them called it a scam either and that's why I have lost my interest on being optimistic and encouraging about telling it to anybody.
