I was literally having a conversation the other day, I am risk averse but people will guess differently because we have a different frame of reference.
One guy said he was a corporate accountant and said he would calculate projections and risks, I used that as an example:
Most people think -5% is danger, 0% is break even and 5% is good.
I say 10% is 0, 5% =-5% and -5% = -10%.
Put another way, if a zombie was nibbling at your face but there be zombies ahead too, would standing still be less risky or more risky than running away?
Inaction is risk.
This is why I started with stocks and shares, why I learned to stomach volatility, and when I started to understand the mechanics of our money and why it inflates while the rich get richer, and when I compared this to the fundamental basic principles of Bitcoin, I don't see why no one else sees it like I do.
If earning and saving in cash and using credit and stocks to keep up is climbing a mountain, saving in Bitcoin is standing in a lift that goes up and down but:
1. You're just standing...
2. It is also climbing the mountain
I think this is why so many people link Bitcoin to The Matrix. So many matrix memes in the space:

Add to that the understanding of how globally systemic and evil money is, it is great to opt out and a nice bonus when it seems to appreciate in value, but I can't wait 'till I can use it day by day and not support government funded wars and rich people's money games.
