Microstrategy being an investor knows something or holds crucial Information about Bitcoin we might not have, and his increasingly accumulating Bitcoin for over the past years since he bought the idea about what Bitcoin is gonna be in the future, with my little experience in this industry, I think it's wise to follow the footsteps of this institutional investors, because if them with the kind of money they operate, can risk into bitcoin let alone the small investors like us.
Hey mate, it is always better if you do your research all by yourselves, the influx of institutional investors into the network is great alright, but it is wrong to accumulate all because they are doing so, in the Bitcoin network there is no such thing as 'following anothers footstep', you must analyse/research about it all from an individual perspective before jumping into a decision. For example, when the influx started, whenever there was news about any new accumulation by an institutional investor, there was usually a pump in the price, some invesors/traders adopted that strategy to time when they would buy their next coin, but right now such news actually no longer has any effect on the price of Bitcoin, and as a result that strategy no longer works. My point is this: only invest cause you have done all of your research, not cause another individual/entity/company, etc is.
When it comes to crypto, people around me only think of BTC, and it is still difficult to change their minds about how to invest. As for the investment as well as the profits they can make...
You're correct, that is exactly the mindset newcomer investors come into the network with, the thing is this, you do not have to worry too much about the people around you, it is not your duty to change their minds about the network, let them do their research and come to a personal conclusion, you can provide research materials for them by the way.
seeing how large organizations are entering this market more and more, I just feel like I need to do something to keep up with the times.
Accumulate more, hodl as much as possible for the long term, and spend a little of your Bitcoin once in a while if you are opportuned to get where to.
