Another strange thing about "boat missers", that is less common these days is that they used to always claimed that buying 1 whole bitcoin is now too expensive for them as if you only had one choice and that was buying a whole bitcoin and fractions of a bitcoin were never possible!

Totally agree on this point that first they assume they have missed the boat or some think it will not grow and were holding some other coins of their preferences and with prices rising they start to claim that buying one bitcoin is too expensive for them like at $50k ,$60k and they will continue the same lame excuses even at high and low prices also and fake out things like you can't buy the lowest denominations also in bitcoin.How in the hell they could forget that part which is you can buy btc worth $50 or low also keeping up the transactions fees and who needs to go for full Bitcoin if you can have part of it.But still they ignore this an keep on repeating new stuff and as you said we see less of them these days.

I have also been the one who missed early opportunity but didn't want to regret a lot making such excuses I missed the boat so have started to invest what i can afford and been motivating others also through this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5349270.0

It's hard to call something a scam when it existed for 12 years, has been a stunning success and there's zero evidence of things that define the word "scam". And the argument about environment is successful because environmentalism is on the rise, and there's a grain of truth to it, but no one asks what "bad for the environment" exactly means and what are the implications of it.

People's, governments and banks have claimed it to be scam in the past and have made tons of allegations against it like bitcoin being used for criminal activities but now they are the ones accepting it and want to allocate more and more bitcoins due to high profits associated with it and with complete decentralization and security of funds.They know it can't be stopped so why not benefit from it and have taken back their words which is their past habit.

But I also think you misunderstood a bit what @aysg76 meant, because I don't see him advising someone to invest large sums of money, but to try to learn something from the mistakes others have made in the past.

Yes i am not suggesting anyone to allocate the huge budget towards bitcoin but only pointing out that people in the past and at current time period are not different at all and still make the same excuses that we missed the boat so instead of doing this go for investment to enjoy later on.We still are somewhat not too late and prices are $65k-$68k range and we might seem to reach more high so make some moves.
