Has Bitcoin ruined any friendships?

When I first discovered bitcoin I wanted to be an evangelist. I spoke about it with friends and strangers. Over time I came to realize that you can lead a horse to water but if the horse isn't thirsty well fuck em. But one particular friend I was explaining it to and he set up a wallet and I sent him some coin so he could see how it works. Years later when the price had exploded I know exactly what my friend is sitting on but don't say anything. Come to find out he had erased the wallet almost immediately. He didn't say it but I feel that his opinion of bitcoin was a reflection of his opinion of me. He got a wallet to humor me. Rolling his eyes when he deleted it. Shortly after the boom he sheepishly reached out and starts asking about how he might acquire some bitcoin but he lives in New York and apparently it's not easy to buy there? I'm not sure Anyway. I can't quite look at him the same.
