That may be true. But the nice thing when you get to pick your own mentees, is that bottom line if they failed, it is always your fault. Either because you mentored wrong, or because you picked wrong.
Taking responsibility ultimately makes it easier to cope with failure, because it's controllable.
Yes indeed, I had some "failures" in the past, like you said, picking the wrong "padawan".
Is really hard to teach Bitcoin from zero to "something". And if you pick the wrong mindset, is 10 or 100x times harder.
That's why I always use different scenario to explain it to different mindsets.
But is long time that I stopped trying to talk about bitcoin to random people. Now I just keep my mouth shut,, at gatherings dinners or groups. I simply just listen their stupidities and keep my anger inside.
I really consider that they do not deserve my knowledge and wisdom about bitcoin. I am really different individual IKL than online. Online maybe you consider me aggressive and rude or asshole, but IRL is not like that.
The only dinners and groups I attend nowadays are weddings and funerals. On the former I'll be that guy that drank all the booze, on the latter I am the shoulder to cry on. Clear roles, keeps me free from rhetoric. haha.
I haven't had a mentee in 2.5 years now because the last one (that I helped to zero-to-hero in 2 years, full time) was captured by scammy shitcoiners. My fault, because I failed to help with financial resilience: there weren't enough opportunities in my network to employ them and today, there still wouldn't be. What use are skills if all you can use them for, without being completely doxxed, is working for a bunch of scammers?
Oh you are in the 3rd phase hahahaha
Is hard, really hard. You will see that one day you will ask yourself: why am I doing all of this?
Helping people is a great thing, gives you real hope, only that sometimes, this goes against you. I know is hard to believe this, but is true.
That doesn't mean you should give up... no way! Keep pushing, just be aware of what are you doing and most important with WHO you are interacting...
Some people really do not deserve to be saved.
