The crypto market is abuzz with excitement, and it seems like everyone is talking about it. However, not everyone is profiting from this speculative market. In fact, someone has to lose money. This is a part of the market, but many people seem to forget about the risk of loss or even small losses. This lack of risk awareness is causing me some trouble, as I'm receiving a lot of blame from a few friends.
- The 1st friend: We were both DCA into Bitcoin and achieved some profit. However, she blamed me for being too cautious and missing out on a huge opportunity to make a 900% gain with SOL.
- The 2nd friend: I shared my belief that BTC price would continue to grow in the long run, possibly peaking in 2025. He took my opinion and started buying BTC a few weeks ago at around 45,000 USD. Now, with BTC down by about 7%, he's blaming me for causing him to FOMO and make poor decisions that led to his losses.
- The 3rd friend: I once warned her about the high volatility of the crypto market and the significant risks involved. As a result, she opted to stay away and instead invested in gold. However, with BTC having surged by over 200% from its low, she's now regretting her decision and blaming me for discouraging her from participating in this lucrative opportunity.
These experiences have made me realize that even without explicitly giving investment advice, my friends still view me as responsible for their investment successes and failures. Ironically, when they made big profits, they barely acknowledged my role, let alone express gratitude. It seems they only value the profits generated by their investments, not the relationships that led to those gains.
I understand the importance of sharing knowledge and exchanging opinions to strengthen connections. However, it appears that these efforts are not always reciprocated in the same manner. Ultimately, it seems that some people prioritize personal gains over maintaining meaningful relationships. Perhaps it's time to exercise caution in investment conversations and focus on my work 
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on this situation:
- Have you ever shared investment advice or opinions with others?
- How did those investments turn out for them?
- Did you receive praise or criticism for your insights?
Sharing investment advice Is very valuable, it can help empower others, help them make good decisions that could lead to financial growth. However sharing investment advice can have both positive and negative result depending on the advice Timing especially, the understanding of the person receiving the advice. In investment what works for you might not work for the other person, what favoured you might not favour the other.
Most time we humans like to blame people for our problem it's easier to do so than taking responsibilities or carrying the burden🥲. when investment don't go well it could lead to blame and even broken or unhealthy relationship. Some can lead to good reputation when it goes well, they praise you and tell others about you there by making others dependent on you for more investment advice or decision which might be overwhelming..
My neighbor introduced me to crypto and the first coin I bought didn't bring any profit but I never blames him for it cause I knew what I was getting into. Either I gain or I lose. I made no profit but that didn't stop me from buying other coins and investing wisely. It's better to give general advice/knowledge about investment, types risk and benefits but don't be specific about any. They should make their research and decisions themselves.
