Hearing testimonies from different sources, I can only conclude that "You don’t need to be rich to invest, but you need to invest to be rich." Riches aside, investment can increase your financial freedom, but the problem with most people is procrastination, they want this BIG capital to invest, but it is not like that.
There is hesitation, fear, ignorance, there are many reasons why some people do not invest but stubbornly hold on to fiat money that is losing value... Lately, it seems to be happening much faster than before.
I think it's important to note that some investment tools are now much more accessible to the masses around the world... The Internet has revolutionized it, and now with crypto, everything can be easy & simple if you just have a laptop, some money, and of course the will to learn & research. That's something that older generations didn't have. It was a different time...
