In 2020 I would tell my small group of close friends that it's time to buy bitcoin. I would tell them on our group chat every time I purchased bitcoin. They would joke and make fun of me. Finally, in 2021 one of my friends said, 'I listened to you and bought some Ethereum'.... He bought at the top of $4000.... I told him, 'no, you didn't listen to a word I said'...

Well, that's the classic case of selective hearing mixed with FOMO (fear of missing out)! Maybe next time your friend should consider investing in some earplugs instead.
Yeah, I've tried to mention bitcoin in both my social and professional circles to no avail. I don't want to push it down their throats. I don't think that accomplishes anything.
My small business offers discount if invoices are paid in bitcoin. Not a single invoice has been paid that way and not one company has asked me about this bitcoin discount.
