If I invested when BTC was 1000 like a lot of other people did, I would be fucked as we speak.

True. But if you had constantly bought 100$ worth of BTC/month over the past year, where would you be then with your investment?

Yeah but let's talk about NOW. By the time most people hear about BTC and what it is, the price will be even higher, so worse than now for them to invest.

That's bullshit, early miners and investors got rich with minimum effort (luck). And don't sell me "they took big risks". Nope, some invested a couple dollars then got rich 3 years later. People investing now is the ones taking huge risks.
Bitcoin is a cool technology but it's going nowhere since people like me (the 99%) think we are just serving another 1% elite (the big stakeholders). So everyone i've talked to said they might as well get paid in gov/army backed money rather than put it in some experiment that doesn't really change anything in your life.

Leave your money in a bank account and lose what, 2% purchasing power per year? Fine. Or put it into a high risk investment that yielded several hundred % the past years ... your choice really. If you are convinced that this experiment won't change anything in your life, than there is nothing to be sorry about, just keep your happy fiat!
Just don't come back here next year and cry to us because you missed the same boat twice ;-)

If I invested 20 bucks back in the day, I would be rich.

This is why people (normal people) aren't getting into BTC, risk reward now is too low.

Edit:
To clarify, I'm not saying you will get rich quick with BTC, those days are probably long gone. Then again, last year I gave BTC maybe a 20% chance to survive, and now I'd say we are at least at 50%, so even if you invest now and only make 10%/year, you are already far, far better off than with traditional bank savings, don't you think?

Only you can find the ways or will power to create more wealth for yourself. Do extra jobs and try earn a little extra fiat money, then buy small amounts when you can every so often. You'll soon build up some bitcoin wealth, but nothing in life comes easy. If you want something you'll have to work hard and earn it as it's not going to just come to you.

At the time mining would get you more bitcoin, but their value was much much (much) lower. In average an average Gpu miner could expect to win maximum 1$ per day.
Don't be jalous of early adopters if it was so easy why didn't you mine/bought BTC back then ?

(You can still mine altcoin with your GPU and change them for bitcoins)

How in hell im supossed to get BTC if im going from bill to bill?

Same way as you get anything else in life: make a list of things you really want/need, prioritize the items on your list, check your budget, cross out things from your list until what you want equals what you can afford - then buy. If it turns out that BTC is no longer on that list, then either your budget is too small, or your priorities are others (new cellphone? car? TV set? vacations?)

I dont have any spare BTC, faucets are jokes,

Honestly, why should anyone give out BTC for free? This is not how life works, sorry.

and I cant risk my savings into BTC (small savings anyway).

Understandable, and probably a wise decision not to risk life savings however small on a high risk investment. Yet again: no risk, no reward, sorry pal.

This is what 99% of people i've talked about conclude with, so they end up ignoring the whole BTC thing, since their (our) life will go on the same as it is now.

Remains to be seen. Fiat money is a dead end, and the blockchain virus has already been released from Pandora's box, it won't just simply disappear again.

My advice if you really don't have that much to spend on BTC: set aside small amounts, buy whatever fraction of a bitcoin you can afford every month, and keep it safe in cold storage. Then come back in a year and see if it was worth it.

Most people CANT afford doing what you pretend. Dude im all for BTC being a success, im just being realistic, you aren't. For BTC to be a success we need mass adoption, and most people aren't going to risk exchanging their money for BTC. So how do we solve this?

There are many ways to get BTC. Faucets are not a joke, just tiny earnings - better than nothing.
Bigger earnings in services likes signature campaigns. Or, run a business.

Do you have any skills you can offer for services that people may be willing to pay you in bitcoins for? I know there are a lot of people who started out like you who have offered services and asked to be paid in bitcoins. Also have you taken a look at signature campaigns as well? This may be ideal for someone like you who is not able to invest into bitcoin just yet.
