The only thing missing is the open-mouthed moron yelling financial advice at you.
The main hurdle now is mainstream people not having savings. Everybody kinda knows that bitcoin goes up forever now, but people are simply too poor and too lazy (over privileged) to work for it.
This is why price is pumped by corporations and politics, rather than bottom-up savers.
Oh. And GM. 🤙
The other major hurdle is that people do not understand how fiat is regularly debased and how it impacts their wealth in the long-term. I have 1K in a secured deposit today, I have 1.05K in the bank in one years time.....what is the problem?
I disagree. I think the masses do understand debasement. They either just feel helpless, or they gamble their savings trying to keep up.
Inflation is marketed as a necessity for economic growth and for decades people have just accepted that fallacy.
Yes - awareness & education isn't the issue any more. Most normies have spent the last 5 years digging themselves deeper into the debt hole. Even if they understand Bitcoin (I know - big if), most don't have the ability to save even $100 per week.
Meanwhile people who have much more dollar capital than you or I, are seeing the tide shifting in Bitcoin's favour.
It's not how we wanted it to happen but it's happening. My hope is that there's still enough Bitcoiners who are willing to hold a large portion of their stack through the rise that's coming. It would be monumentally sad if most of the Bitcoin ends up in the custody of banks & ETFs.
Some people turned in their gold for dollars, some people kept the gold.
The few that see the writing on the wall prosper, the rest go poor.
It's the financial equivalent to natural selection.
I personally warned enough people. It's up to them now.
