Tell him instead of bitching about it to buy some because this shit is a rocket that will fly past $100.

He will then make up some excuses, at which point you call him a pussy to cement that moment in his mind so he can't say 2 years down the road "bro you didn't tell me to buy!!!!" when link tokens are worth >$50

Well I didn't tell him to buy outright but a year and a half ago I did try and talk to him about chainlink. and I tried to subtlety shill it to him by explaining the fundamentals behind it.

I told my friends about LINK way back at ICO. They had 22k, 9k, 7k stacks respectively. They all sold below 30 cents to get into shitcoins and eventually lost everything. Now they are mad at me because I never sold. One begs me for 100 links now constantly and another wants 0.15 btc so he can "get back in the game".

The funny part is in 2017 while their shitcoins were mooning they were making fun of me because LINK was lagging behind. now they say if I don't share "my wealth" I will not feel satisfied. they also claim I got lucky by getting into LINK. seriously I like them but fuck them.

I also told them repeatedly to buy during the bear market and everything and they just don't listen. "I'm not paying 60 cents for something you paid 10 cents" was their motto. Now they are stuck holding idex shitcoins that dumped to hell.

whatever not everyone is supposed to make it.

Never, ever tell anyone about your link position.

I haven't told even my wife about my modest stack, and won't, probably not even when link price hits hundreds.

anon this is an opportunity only for those who have the balls, brains, humility, and rational self interest to take it for themselves. you can’t force anyone to have what it takes and consequently have no responsibility beyond informing them. think back to the original fudshillers; they opened the door but it was you who put in the effort to see what it all meant with respect to your life.
I told a lot of people and spent a lot of time explaining things in great depth to those who were curious, but the only two who ended up buying were friends who actively pursue a future vision for themselves and welcome uncertainty in that process. everyone else made excuses to ignore what I had to say or not to buy. don’t feel bad, people are either ready to win or they aren’t and that’s all there is to it.

Never tell anyone you hold chainlink. I know it seems evil to sit and watch the people you care about suffer while you get rich but you have to treat wealth like the One Ring in LOTR. It corrupts literally everyone who possesses it other than the absolute strongest-willed men. If people know you are wealthy they will resent you. If you give them money they will ask for more and more and then resent you for not giving it to them. They will spend it on bullshit and then come crying. Your friends will be jealous of you and every new friend you make will just be a gold digger. Literally no one knows that I hold LINK. It’s not easy; I often come close to telling my best friends so that we can all make it together. But the reality is I know they couldn’t handle the wealth and it would destroy our friendships. Same with family.

Then ask him what would he have done if you told him to buy BTC back in 2018, just before everything came crashing down. This is money we're dealing with, he's only seeing AFTER the fact the "risk" you took (it's not a risk if you understand the project) of it not going anywhere for years. If he really thinks it's that easy, tell him to go buy Link.

Here's my take on friends/family and crypto:

You don't tell anyone shit, and when you make it you buy your immediate family and closest friends a bunch of things they want/need.
If they don't want to accept it out of pride, tell them some bs about owing them some money years ago, and instead of repaying them you invested it and you're now giving them their gains.

Not all. As some other anons have pointed out, there is simply no upside to doing so.

The reason you need strong will to accept Link is that it causes serious cognitive dissonance to wagies. The realization that waging is a horrible way to make money is too much for 95% of people, including your friends and family. And it's really not surprising. Imagine finding out you've been doing everything wrong for years and years.

So 95% of people simply renounce this information and find every way, no matter how dumb, to discredit the person presenting it (you). Should Link fail, they'll likely celebrate your downfall as it maintains their established beliefs. It's not that they're evil, it's the way our egos protect itself.

Sure 5% of people may actually listen to you and take your advice. But chances are, those smart people are already in crypto.

I told my brother that it doesn't matter if he's just making $9/hr he lives at home and simply needs to be putting at least $100/wk into link. Even offered to walk him through the sign up on coinbase and binance. Link was $0.3. I mentioned again at 0.2. After that I stopped trying, and stopped mentioning crypto at all once we blew threw 0.8. I knew it I did my part to get him along for the ride. If he wants it now he can steal the future from a swing tard for $5. He could have been sitting on a make it stack by now. Instead he'll be hard pressed to even get a suicide stack now. Come to thitk about it, I haven't really spoke with my family in a few months. Easier this way I guess. All they have to know is I moved out of state and got a little condo. I'll say it se they thitk I'm renting, they want know I bought a penthouse without visiting me so it's a happy ending. You know your friend would hate you if he invested 5k usd into a crypto portfolio and it went to 4k usd lo like fuck him. Normalfags are shitty. Even when you try they ignore it, and if you don't they still rage at you. There's no winning with them. Best to surround yourself with like minded frens who actually want to make something of their lives. It's not that they don't understand investing, they don't want to.
My parents got a 500k windfall and knew I liked money, asked for my advice. I said all in ETFs and let it sit for a year before touching it.

Females can't even understand that there is a difference between 1 minute and 1 month candles. Volatility is a very difficult concept and they expect investing to be a straight line up or down with no fluctuations. If they sell its also your fault for not explaining this and convincing to hold through minor turbulence, so when you finally make it they feel like they deserve 1,000 of your link because you tricked them into buying 1,000 but made them sell that 1,000 link at a loss and anyway they oí are family so you should want to do in without asking so you're already a bad brother/son for making them have to ask in the first place

Tell him to buy Kleros then. It's the next Link style moon mission whether us faggots like it or not.

I only told my mom who bought a few k linkies between 75c and 1.50. i am a good boy.

Told my mom it could be used to automate bond processing, and she was calling her financial manager to wire money for a bag before the pitch was over. Owns a bag of ~5k @ $1.07. Explained it to my dad, and he didn't get it...until one day he called me up four months later and he regurgitated the revelations he had about it, piecing things together and doing internet research. So he gets in at ~$2.12. But he's awful with money so I hold his bag.

I shilled it to all of my friends and family. No one listened besides 2 Pot dealers who are already loaded they probably have a few BTC and a couple thousand stinkers by now lol. Anyway when this shit is all over the news I’m gonna tell everyone I sold early and used the gains to move into a nicer apartment aka an apartment building I buy in cash and rent out for passive income till I find a nice plot of land to build a house on.

I’m keeping my stinkers for that passive staking and using the income from that to invest into other assets. I may have not “made it” like the OGs but my economic position is gonna skyrocket compared to my peers in the 20s.

You're a shitty friend. 5 of my friends and even my dad and stepdad have a few thousand link each lol.
