Practically everyone I told to buy bitcoin starting at the $2k price range eventually bought between $55k and $60k. I told all of them to be prepared to hold for at least 4 years. Most started bitching about the price drop. I stopped recommending it unless asked. I hope they held.

I go back and forth with should I or shouldn't I recommend Bitcoin to people. It's probably best to let them come to you as you said.
