Investing in bitcoin could bring you life time fortunes because it appreciate in value over time, however, delay in bitcoin investment due to reason best known to you is automatically setting you backwards.
We're not sure about lifetime fortunes unless we know this will never die. But it was not important because we never lived a lifetime as well. At least, we have been given the opportunity to earn, which I believe was the most important.
Message to bitcoin investors : stop the delay, keep buying (investing) bitcoin in large portion as you can, because Bitcoin is nowere close to it's peak.
If they can't afford to take risks while the price is just below $100k, they will no longer expect they could invest in the future as the price is more expensive. Honestly, real investors don't wait to be told that Bitcoin is potentially profitable. They made their own discoveries before someone told them.
