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..
We can reach great financial freedom through small investments in technology-based and limited-supply assets like Bitcoin. Our inaction is often the wrong decision. Opportunities will be missed, and we will be responsible for our own unintended downfall.
Those who don't start today will start tomorrow or the next day, and this mentality is holding them back. Market volatility teaches us to be patient, and investing over time will definitely bring real results. By investing in small amounts, we can enjoy the real results. It is possible to achieve great success only by starting small.
An average procrastinator always thinks that he(s) always have the whole time in the world to do whatever he wants but the reality is that such mindset always makes you to continue waiting and at the end, you will do little or nothing to make yourself better in terms of the amount of asset you will be able to accumulate. refusing to buy now for whatever reason you give yourself is a sign that in the long run, you might not be able to buy at all in the future.
if you think you are too late, that might be true but of what use is that knowledge when you cannot use that as a source of inspiration that will push you into investing aggressively? the goal of every investor should be to become better off than they were at the early phase of their investment, if you are late, get started, if you need to build your income to become strong so you can invest well, then do that as fast as necessary because there is never an amount of excuse you will put forward as an investor that will add to the quantity of bitcoin you intend accumilating.
