Even if you do not catch the crypto currency wave early, you will still benefit of the fairness and wealth-creating/preserving aspects of this technology.
A new Golden Age.
It's true I was kind of ambivalent about investing at one point because I thought, "If Bitcoin succeeds, just about
everyone is eventually going to be rich by today's standards anyway, whether they bought in or not." It's more about how fast you want to get there. If you invest now, you get to experience financial freedom in a year or two, instead of a decade or two.
Come on Zangelbert. You can't possibly believe
everybody is going to get rich? I mean, sure, if bitcoin is a more efficient method of payment and finance in general, then it will benefit the general population, much like the internet itself has already provided many benefits to the economy. But it doesn't instantaneously transform everybody into millionairs.
If a lot of the world joined bitcoin and we only relied on bitcoin to buy things then eventually people will only be getting 0.001 for their hourly wage for example, it's the ones who hold onto their coins that become a bit wealthier.
I'm holding until $150,000 then wanting to buy a house with 1/4 and then maybe get my airline pilots licence. Do something for charity. And then if it's reliable to keep as bitcoins then i will with some.
