You have said my physical campaign awareness on bitcoin to people. A lady met me one day and Sid someone told her that for her to own a bitcoin she has to purchase it with the minimum of $4,000 USD and immediately I have to reconciled that mentality from her and told that she can invest with any form from $5 US dollar and that should be depends on the current dollar exchange rate and after the orientation she was very happy and took my number so she can call me to start the investment.
It is possible that the person who told the lady is an agent of a company, possibly a Ponzi scheme one since these kind of company often have a fix entry level. It is a good thing that you are able to intercept this lady from being scammed by a Ponzi company agent.
Yes many people have that misconception that it is only big amount can be used to invest in bitcoin but that is not true. In my country of you have #4000 which is equivalent to $5. Though I don't blame them because they are ignorant of the ecosystem.
It is because many people who are interested in investing Bitcoin do not do their own research and are often swayed by companies that exploited Bitcoin. Like during the time before Bitcoin get popular in my country, there are already some international fraud company that are exploiting the Bitcoin nature and are using Bitcoin as a front to scam people and their entry fee is really high which makes people thinks that investing in Bitcoin really needs a huge amount of money. It was way back as early as 2015 before our government acknowledge Bitcoin as mode of payment in 2017.
Although the idea of the need of huge capital to invest in Bitcoin has already been debunked for countless times, there are still people who thinks that huge fund is needed to acquire Bitcoin since they are just looking at the price of it as a whole and not how Bitcoin has this divisibility.
