It is always important to think long term. In 5 years, btc may be 10x from now. Are you willing to wait 5 years?
Well, in cryptocurrency it is really possible to get rich even in a year and a half, I personally know such an example in the person of my friend. For 5 years, bitcoin will bring dividends and people who come to cryptocurrency with a couple of thousand dollars, they will of course say that this is not serious.
- "Wait 5 years to get a profit of $17 000 from 2-3 thousand dollars? Are you serious? But this is nonsense." And they think so, because they have read a million stories on the Internet about super earnings on Shitcoins in a few months. A recent example is Shiba.
But people with more or less serious money who have invested in bitcoin will wait 5 years without problems.
