A lot of people already feel left out, Almost like they have missed the opportunity to invest in bitcoin, many are looking to invest in other alt coins.
They had their chance, they didn't take it. They still have a chance, yet they are just complaining and whining how they missed the opportunity. Again there are those that missed the boat and are now just bashing crypto currencies in every possible way. It's just because they regret. Everyone still has their opportunity. Instead of investing in some random shitty altcoins, they can invest those money in bitcoin (no need to hold one whole bitcoin!) and make some good profit in the long run.
I had a conversation with a friend today about Bitcoin, investment and its very high transaction fees, he expressed his displeasure saying that like him, many others that he knew are no longer considering btc to invest in, rather, they are looking to invest in other crypto's.
If he wants to hold bitcoin for long term, then the fee is nothing compared to the long term gains. Your friend is just being prejudiced against bitcoin.
