Avoid them. Unless they are family. Then keep working them, gently.

"Anyways if you are someone who has been bitcoin cost averaging for years and come across this kind of people, how would you deal with them?"

You don't. The only stack that matters is your own and you cannot force others to do better for themselves. Don't waste your time on that kind of people. You can never make that time back.

It really breaks my heart that people aren't opening up to learn about the most important technology ever created and spin it off as it is bad because "my mom, daddy, coworkers, etc" said, so. Failings to realized even when you hear the old old generation says I remember when I bought Pepsi for for 0.25 from the vending machine. They literally fail to see that $h!t ant getting better and one must work harder for a better future...like, wake up.

The higher the price goes the more I see people hope it and I fail. If people change their opinion in the future I'd reconsider reintegrating them into my life but it is a form of betrayal and unlikely to be recovered from honestly.

It's been a while since I've bought a large amount, but my initial purchase was when Bitcoin was slightly under £300 per coin. I've explained this to people and how eight years really isn't too significant of a timeframe to experience such a large return. I also explain how the LN works; this has proven to be an unexpectedly effective approach when speaking to people 🤔. It doesn't work on everyone, of course. But... still.

To be frank, I've never avoided them in all my years. Lol. I just keep harassing them on economics and bitcoin, no matter how much they can't stand it. And they SERIOUSLY hate it! People dislike being told things that they were previously unaware of 🤷‍♂️! Plenty of folk have even publicly insulted me for trying to educate them 😂😅.
