Cross-posted from X because you guys might appreciate it:
What I’ve learned over the past five years is that very little good comes from giving anyone financial advice (unless it’s your job).
I recommended Bitcoin like a psycho in 2022. I was unstoppable. Relentless.
Every conversation, every interaction. I bought people books, I sent podcasts, I sent memes, I had long discussions, I helped people set up apps, the whole 9 yards. I started a passion project dedicated to Bitcoin Policy advocacy (bitcoinpolicyvt.com).
Even though most buys from 2022 were up +500% at the top and still are +200% today, almost nobody I know is actually better off. Nobody buys the lows unless they already get it on their own.
Most of my friends who got involved FOMO’d above 60k (average price probably close to 100k now) and some are slightly rekt versus SPY and Gold.
I WAS right, but you don’t get any credit for wins, and you’ll take heat for losses (they think gains are because of THEM, and losses are because of ME).
Moral of the story: worry about yourself. If you like Bitcoin, buy Bitcoin. You can be pro-Bitcoin and use it yourself without wasting time and social capital trying to get people who don’t care or can’t manage the volatility/risks involved.
