Certainly valid points. Bitcoin in the first world tends to gravitate towards those with high conviction and a long time horizon. Everyone will get bitcoin exactly when they need it. And for some in the situations you laid out maybe they never will need it.
There is a new book by nostr:nprofile1qqswmnfq2k830kvnylvyrezc97dsqce343qppqrwlgpqaux5qpuwdkspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuum5dahx2u3wvdhk6qguwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skclda2g9 titled “Bitcoin Is For Everyone: Why our financial system is broken and Bitcoin is the solution”
I love the subtitle. And, I’m not sure in Dec 2025 most people can handle the volatility. My 80 yr old dad surely can’t, and I don’t think most of my middle-aged college friends could move a meaningful amount of their 401k into IBIT, let alone pausing those contributions past the company match and buying spot and holding it in cold storage.
Again, I love the subtitle, and, I think prices in the 120’s dropping to the 80’s in the course of a few weeks would spook the vast majority of people. If someone had 600k in a 401k and you told them not to worry when it went to 400k in less than two months - same move were had in bitcoin - that by mid 2030s it’d 10x, they likely couldn’t hodl.
Just my two satosis.
