Let me share this here with you my fellow crypto enthusiasts.

 Late last year, I entered an online crypto spin and win contest that my friend had warned me to avoid. He thinks those things are shady and often scam. I signed up anyway just for fun, never expecting to actually win but eventually I did win something.
When I told my friend the news, he got really annoyed. He said those contests can't be trusted and I shouldn't believe I won anything real. I tried explaining it seemed legitimate, I mean, I did my research but he thought I was being reckless.

He asked if I was planning to share my prize with him since he tried protecting me from potential risks. I hadn't thought about that at all, in my mind it was my prize to keep. When I hesitated, he got more frustrated, thinking I was disregarding our friendship.

After the dust settled, we talked it out again. I said I appreciated him looking out for me but I still felt it was my prize to decide what to do with. We don't share money as friends anyway. Eventually he dropped it, but I could tell he was bothered I didn't listen to him in the first place.

What do you think - should I split a contest prize to heal a friendship, even if I solely entered and won? Do you try online spinning promotions or find them too questionable? Let me know your thoughts!
