I have this habit of trying to carry people I know along when I see opportunities that can change our lives. This is why, when I joined the Hive platform in 2017 and witnessed the goodness of the blockchain, I didn't waste time telling my active friends at that moment.

When I say Active, I mean those I was communicating with at that time, the same way I didn't stress my onboarder, some of the people I introduced to this blockchain didn't stress me, and till now they are still thriving on this platform.
And then we have the doubting Thomas with their questions, How much have you earned, Show me your wallet, Will I start making money immediately and even after answering all these questions, they still do not feel satisfied, and one of these people is my secondary school friend.
We attended the same junior secondary and senior secondary school. We were so close during school days, we went home together often and also visited each other's homes to borrow films, we had so many memories together that when I saw a life-changing opportunity, he was among the few I remember, and I entered his dm to tell him about it but then he bombarded me with so many questions and after answering them all, he was still feeling reluctant to join so I let him be, there is a saying that we can force a horse to the river but we can't force the horse to drink water.

Fast forward to 4 years later, he messaged me again asking me questions about crypto, that he is interested, I told him the blockchain I introduced to him few years ago was part of crypto and he was like he didn't know and ask me to teach him again, this is because of the bullrun that happened and he also heard about how a lot of people made money, so this time that he came around, he was not interested in learning, he just want to make money and crypto does not work that way and I tried to explain to him how it works, blogging, trading and all.
I guided him on how to create an account, which he did, and explained everything he needed to know, but I also included that it is not a get-rich scheme, and he needed to put in effort and be dedicated if he wanted to see a good result. It felt like my statement discouraged him again, so he ended up not making the introductory post.
If it were someone else, I would have given up on him the moment I realized he is not ready to be dedicated and he just want to come and pack money which doesn't seem to be possible without dedication and hardwork but because of the bond we shared, I still give him all the details he needs hoping he would be encouraged to join but till now, he didn't make his intro post.

You’ve shown real patience and kindness. Not everyone sees the vision early, but your effort to guide others is inspiring! Kudos brother.
I was patient enough with him because I cherish our old memories, if it was someone else, I won't waste my time after the first time.
You really tried. That patient is what most people dont have.
I guess he has to moved out of this mentality of trying make it quick and easy, as they never works for the most part. I bet he'll probably hit you up again when the bull run comes again.
Yea, people like him just want 100 percent assurance and quick way to make money which is unrealistic
Very much so. I don't think even such exists IRL
That's his lost, he might come back again, in hive one have to be hardworking, patient and consistent. Keep inspiring
