I came to understand that many people don't really know how to explain bitcoin investment to someone else, they only tell them that bitcoin is a cryptocurrency,an investment that can give them higher return when they invest in it.
This definition about Bitcoin is not bad, as it is a short and brief definition that can be said to any lay man who has literally no knowledge about what Bitcoin is, nor crypto. And it is left for the individual to further ask "What is Crypto?" And then you go about explaining more to him/her. Because truly, Bitcoin is indeed a cryptocurrency, an investment asset that can give you higher return when you invest and hold on for long term (i.e 5 to 10yrs). And not a regular investment plan whereby you can invest X amount of money today, and be expected 2X in either a week or months time. Since Bitcoin is volatile, and it's value can either rise or fall after investment. Hence, it's essential that while introducing anybody about Bitcoin, don't ever forget to tell them that it is a volatile decentralized asset whose price value can either rise or fall after investment. So that they won't disturb you if their $100 depreciate to $90 after 2days.
