You can blame your government, bad luck, lack of infrastructure or whatever, but you still have to ask yourself if you or anyone else who heard about something called Bitcoin during 2009/2010 really understood what it was really about? I first heard about Bitcoin in 2011, but only after a few years did I realize that there was something serious about it, and I can't blame anyone but myself for that.
Most of people heard about Bitcoin in 2009, 2010 or one or two years later, easily thought it is a joke, it was created for fun, it will die.
That explains why there are potentially millions of bitcoin lost because early adopters did not care too much about their bitcoins that were easily mined with laptops or bought with very cheap prices. Who spend money to buy bitcoin with prices in cents possibly did care more about their investment and had less probability to lose their wallets, bitcoins.
People who tried and mined Bitcoin in early years have high chances to lose their wallets and bitcoins because they only tried for fun.
