I don't always blame those who did not invest in Bitcoin, some are not inclined to internet investment, while others who can risk it might not have the needed trust in it, and you can't blame them for that, it takes time.
Many have also been scammed in the name of Bitcoin, with Ponzi, direct fraud and even by those who introduced it to them, and their mentors. Not everybody is lucky to follow the right channel and I tell you today that my adoption of Bitcoin was late because of my scepticism then and I would even have been scammed by all those useless centralised wallets like freewallet.org.
Thanks to Bitcointalk. So we should continue to encourage those who are in this category, guide them and furnish them with the needed resources to read. With time, and also with how Bitcoin has proven itself to be a worthy investment, they will be convinced and invest eventually.
Buddy when you said you won't blame those who could not invest in Bitcoin are you generalizing or just a limited number of them that fall to the category to those constraints that you mentioned, though if it for those that falls to those stuffs you listed then we can't blame them but as for those who got the information earlier and werent in any having any challenges that can stop them from investing and stiil didnt invest then we can blame them because such opportunity may not present itself again, though they are free to now since Bitcoin is very much active but I believe they have learnt there lessons.
Yea some individuals have been a victim of scam as a result of wanting to invest Bitcoin but as a matter of fact the reason for that is because lack of awareness and individual being unable to differentaite between Bitcoin and any other scam stuff out there, though your narration is right, individual reason for late adoption of bitcoin differs due to different experiences just as you've said already.
Yea I agree to your conclusions but while we are doing that, let's not be in anyway persuasive in other not to get the whole thing wrong, I have come to understand that there is nothing you'll tell some people that will make them change there mind towards something they don't actually believe in, for me we can't force them to believe in it if we have actually make them see reasons why they should invest in Bitcoin, although when conversation is going on, we may get to know this set of persons and know how to follow them accordingly.
