Interfering with others' destiny is to bear their karma
Why do I no longer discuss Bitcoin with people? Because most of the time, if they make a profit, it's due to their own insight, and you just happened to provide information; but if they lose money, you're blamed for causing their loss.
Most friends in life have little investment experience. If you mention any investment opportunity, you'll almost certainly be criticized or secretly resented.
In fact, it's not just about investments. In life, everything is like this. I used to have an obvious tendency to be a know-it-all, liking to share my "profound insights," but as I learned more, I spoke less and less.
For example, if someone asks you about buying a house, even if you're an expert in real estate, if the outcome is good, you're just telling them something "they already knew" or "everyone knows." If housing prices drop, it's your fault - if not for you, they wouldn't have been trapped, and you're the one who desperately urged them to buy that house. You have no chance to defend yourself; they'll tell everyone that you pushed them to buy.
For instance, when someone asks about their child's college major or career choices, it's best to be cautious when giving advice. Interestingly, some people have high perception and understand this at 20, while others need to learn through painful experiences. I belong to the latter group.
Work, investment, and life's greatest principle is to make yourself comfortable and avoid getting involved in uncomfortable events or relationships.
People are vastly different, and human nature is obscure and difficult to understand. Doing honest and kind things and being a good, comfortable version of yourself is enough.
Of course, this doesn't mean becoming cold. Personality can't be changed - like my fiery personality - but avoid being a know-it-all and having excessive sympathy. Just like choosing investment targets, choose friends and the right things.
The same event, the same approach can yield completely different results with different people.
When I need help, I remember any sincere guidance, and I'll carefully study the advice regardless of its scientific nature. I won't blame the person giving advice - only feel gratitude.
But there's a type of people, possibly most people, with an incorrect mindset. For example, discussing an investment target, some have a good impression of me because they know I only support and hold what I believe in, and share what I hold, never colluding with project parties or engaging in shilling.
Personality determines destiny. A good personality attracts good luck, good people, and good things - wealth is just a side reward. A bad personality attracts bad luck, bad people, and bad things - wealth will always remain out of reach.

This article is about a recent story of a mother opening futures contracts, with her husband repeatedly helping her repay debts, ultimately losing their house and divorcing. Some details are shocking, and perhaps this is human nature.
For instance, her mother-in-law suggesting she find a job was likely well-intentioned, believing staying home might lead to uncontrolled gambling. But she interpreted it as being looked down upon and continued gambling.
Her husband gathering money to help repay external debts and controlling finances to prevent further gambling was seen by her as disrespect, so she continued gambling.
This thought process seems laughable, sad, and sighing, but many people's mindsets are similar - always feeling others are trying to harm them and finding excuses for their failures.
I'm reminded of a past experience when a friend borrowed money from me twice, the second time claiming his mother was seriously ill, promising to repay in a week. He had me use my credit card, then never repaid and even scammed me, avoiding me since.
Respect others' destiny, do not interfere with karma. Don't argue about anything, just do your best, and the world will give everyone what they deserve.
