IMO, it’s not just ignorance. People are just scared to start what they dont want to deal with in the long run. And for the fact that everything around bitcoin is different from what it was 2013-2015, beginners look back at it and dont know where to start.
A decent number of folks wrongly conclude that they are too late, and no one wants to be the exit liquidity of others.
Yet, at the same time, if they at least appreciate that their failure to buy bitcoin is only preparing for down, and they are failing to prepare for up.. then maybe they could be motivated to buy some in order to prepare for up. but part of the problem is that they think that they don't need to prepare for up, and they wrongly believe that they are not prejudiced if they don't prepare for up... which yeah, 5-10 years down the road or later, they may well come to realize how much they fucked themselves by continuing to fail/refuse to act to at least get started, even if it is just $30 per week.. even while we know they are easily capable to do $100 per week..
There is an adage that says that anytime someone wakeup from sleep is the time day break for the person. Inasmuch as Bitcoin investment is concern there is nothing like starting late, the only problem most folk is having is that they undermined the power of little begining, they want to start big and make it big without knowing that they can start from grass to grace if proper planing is conceive.
Most folk correlate the value of Bitcoin in the past years to present value without correlating the present value to what the value will be in the future making them feel that they are late in the system but they fail to understand the time value of money and investment.
Considering the unprecedented rise in the value of Bitcoin from the past year till date I'm pretty sure that Bitcoin has a great potential in the the future, what we seeing now as high price of Bitcoin may be a tip of an iceberg to what the value will be in the future and as such anyone that started now should not consider him/herself late, all we just need is consistency and proper long term planning.
Those are folks who only think about the now and even go forth bracing their primitive mindsets by looking out on the past and behaves adamant like there's no tomorrow which their were supposed to plan ahead of it.
So when they get to that future and couldn't get reach to their needs, they begin blaming themselves. Okay, it's not still too late, take a stance and make some unusual decisions in acquiring those needs will still seem difficult for them.
That's just how most persons keep saying they'll they'll and to the least of their timing they still don't make the move.
I'm here referring to those who're deceiving themselves with the move of buying or owning some bitcoin and hodl against their future (long term) with all sorts of excuses keeping them behind the financial success and freedom.
