its just most people see bitcoin as a product itself that either needs to be manufactured (mined) or bought. alot of people are forgetting the whole point of bitcoin.
bartering.
EG imagine you have £10,000 and you want to get into bitcoin.
you would start up a business selling products. you price them up in bitcoin. Then customers pay you bitcoin and you pay your supplier with your fiat.
that way you end up with bitcoin. your supplier gets FIAT and your customer gets the product advertised.
another example: find a project where people are paying for skills in bitcoin
bitcoin is not just an investment opportunity like buying stocks and shares, its a whole economy of bartering too. the only thing is that the bartering is getting slow to start up
Nicely put
...Also, doing it BitcoinUK's way will also promote bitcoin, get it moving around, and ultimately increase its value/your investment.
