Agree. But unfortunately people hear about the huge yearly % increases and just see $$$ signs Sad

And this is exactly why it will succeed. There is more money to be made with bitcoin than anything else the financial sector can offer. Bitcoin will inevitably fills the holes in broken economic systems around the world.

Agreed, many need to get back to basics and remember what BTC is and not focus so much on the day to day price swings. BTC is here to stay.

Bitcoin promises nothing, just promises early adopter rich.

bitcoin will be around for hundreds of years (2140 atleast)... so you being here now, makes you an early adopter. so dont complain.

satoshi, was not rich 12 months after starting bitcoin, gavinA wasn't rich 12 months later.

but now 3-4 years have passed. those first adopters are rich. and if you are still interested in bitcoin after 3-5 years, you will be too. but in all cases, you need to put your own individual effort in to get good results in return. satoshi and gavin truly 'earned' the results they have got. and anyone that can pt effort into making bitcoin better, can do the same to maximise their wealth

every investment promises early adopters to be rich.
To make a fair distribution for a new currency requires a centralized distributer, which totally don't mix with humans.

People seem to forget what Bitcoin truly stands for sometimes and its disheartening. Bitcoin is not a get rich scheme or even remotely close to that. Bitcoin is a promise for freedom that no other fiat currency can provide. It is something that will only succeed if people want it to succeed, and it benefits everyone who uses it. Tbh everyone that I see who calls it a ponzi scheme or something arbitrary just doesn't understand it. They look at Bitcoin like every other asset and forget that its completely different. People in countries in Africa can't economically compete with people in America, but Bitcoin changes that. It provides a currency that is amoral and benefits everyone equally. Don't be distracted by short term moves in price and instead be focused on the fundamentals. That's all that really matters.

Here's some articles elaborating on this if interested:
