Bitcoin exist for over a decade yet there’s only few percentage of the human population is involved on Bitcoin investment. Not because that the majority of people is not aware nor exposed but because they are the victim of economic lie such disinformation towards Bitcoin through negative propaganda of Banks.
We are all being feed of wrong information of economic norms by the billionaires that benefiting the current system. Bitcoin is the best asset to invest in terms of price growth on long term period yet people are still scared to touch due the wrong information given by the main stream media.
I don't think it's entirely due to the bank's negative propaganda economic lies, but people need to adapt to bitcoin where we have to learn the basis for running investments, so that when it first appeared people were still very hesitant to invest. My own closest example, when bitcoin was introduced, 1 to 8 years of its journey, I was still hesitant to invest.
Because I'm not fully familiar with bitcoin and what it has to offer, but on my way I started to learn bit by bit the advantages of bitcoin and in the end I found advantages of bitcoin that other investment models don't have. Even gold, one of the investments that is able to maintain value, is also not the same as bitcoin, because the profit process that we get takes a very long time. Meanwhile, bitcoin fluctuations are a force for maximum profit returns in a relatively short period of time according to our ability to analyze the market and this advantage is one of the choices for people to choose bitcoin.
In the country that I live, Bitcoin has a stigma of being a scam because our own government warn the public to not engage on Bitcoin investment due to a lot of scam involves it and the volatility is high. Most of the people here including the old professional don’t dare to touch it despite Bitcoin already has good price history.
The bitcoin stigma is a bigger scam propagated by the mainstream media, both structured and government planned. However in general, this stigma disappears by itself with regulations in each country that bitcoin and crypto are legal as commodity assets and not as legal tender.
So that people's involvement in it sometimes depends on the understanding they receive, but as far as the development of bitcoin until now many people are starting to open up to accept and try to invest in bitcoin, even though there are some countries that still prohibit bitcoin to this day.
