Ironically, the only way to make Bitcoin beside gambling with your hard earned FIAT money (something that the 99% of average Joes, aka what we need to get into Bitcoin, is NOT going to do) is through these signature campaings. This guy Stunna, used to pay about 0.4 a month. The 99% of people out there is never going to be able to buy near that monthly when most people are wageslaves going from bill to bill. This offers a way to make BTC without taking a big risk. Again, risking the equivalent of 0.4 a month by most families is a big gamble that they are not going to take just in hopes that in a decade or two, Bitcoin makes them rich, because no one of them cares to go through the hassle of buying Bitcoin, only to spend it in some tacos or some menial comodity that can be bough with fiat anyway, get this through your skulls. So basically, we need ways make BTC that doesn't involve being a full time job. The signature campaing is one. Stunna contributed to distribute Bitcoin wealth among poor people like few out there. About 500 BTC were paid through the course of the PrimeDice campaing. We need more stuff like this. Shitty faucets are worthless. Selling your services for BTC is cool, unless it requires too much time to the point it becomes worthless, since you could be making more flipping Burgers in McDonalds. Simply put, offering your services for BTC right now, unless you are a full blown NEET, it's pointless and too much of a risk when you could be making more money in a regular job.

This is why the price is tanking. Tell me why the average Joe is going to care about obtaining Bitcoin when he has to take a huge gamble by buying. Tell me what he is going to do with said purchase besides holding and speculating? Do you think he is going to buy anything with it? Why should he? Whats the point. The 99% legitimatelly or not, is going to start thinking they want them just to keep the early-time whales enjoying their bast BTC wealth.

If something is hard to obtain and is not going to change your life for the better, you are not going to give a fuck about it. This reflects on the price. If you keep shrinking ways to obtain BTC besides risking your FIAT, Bitcoin will just be an asset where wealthy people store their FIAT in hopes it doesnt crash, just like Gold. It will never be an actual currency.
