Was in a Uber and started explainning why Bitcoin not crypto. The driver says:

But I don't have a lot of money, and with Bitcoin I can never get rich.

What do answer to that?🙄

Bitcoin is not to get rich.

buying Bitcoin isn't just about getting rich, it's also a flexible investment that provides greater autonomy away from traditional financial systems. Plus, some people have even used Bitcoin to buy pizza! However, investing in Bitcoin carries risks, so it's always smart to research carefully. It's important to emphasize that everyone can invest in Bitcoin, not just the wealthy, and small investments can add up over time, especially as Bitcoin becomes more widely adopted.

Just kidding. I’d tell him the odds are in his favor if he hodls Bitcoin, but they are against him if he picks a shitcoin. Then I’d show him the top cryptocurrencies by market cap over the years to reinforce this. During a red light or at destination, preferably x)

It’s better to get richer safely over the years than getting almost certainly poorer overnight.

I guess it's a time preference thing.

Oh and thanks for the ⚡️ BTW 😁

You are speaking about things orthogonal to each other in this case. You're presumably talking about hard money and wealth preservation, while he's talking about gambling. Those two are actually antithetical.

Agreed. But that's the problem. People confused and conflate both of these.
