Why do so many people feel like they are ‘too late’ for #bitcoin?
It’s still available to buy on the open market. You can trade dollars or goods or services for it right now. The life raft is sitting here waiting; sure tickets may be a bit more expensive than only a few short years ago, but eventually the fiat ship will sink and when it does what will you do without any escape plan at all?
I simply don’t understand this kind of high time preference thinking that just because it’s x% more expensive now (measured in fiat) than it was before, it’s not worth it to get some (just in case it catches on).
I’m still stacking.
P.S. It’s going up forever.
For most of my normie friends, I think it's ego
They’re just repeating stuff they hear, have no understanding of Bitcoin, think it’s too good to be true / a scam. They’ll miss it “again” after this bull and keep being poor and lazy.
Governments have done a great job teaching people that the only reliable money is fiat.
endless reasons.
the important lesson is to not blame these people; they don't understand.
who am I to blame people for running in a rat race when it's the only thing they've ever known?
nearly everyone needs 2-3 touch points with Bitcoin until they REALLY give it an honest chance and look into it.
stay humble, everyone gets in at the price they deserve.
