In my opinion, bitcoin, like other assets can help us make money, but because bitcoin is very volatile, so investing in bitcoin can help us to shorten our time to get rich compared to other investments.
Whether we make money or not, how much money we earn depends on ourselves, not only on bitcoin. Bitcoin is only giving us an opportunity, and whether we take advantage of it to the fullest of our potential is up to us. No matter how good Bitcoin is, if you don't know how to invest, you will still lose normally. Our success or failure is on our own, not because of bitcoin or anything.
You are absolutely right, sir; Bitcoin is an added advantage in increasing our financial growth. Just like other assets that show appreciation over time, like bonds, stocks, and real estate, they may take a long time and their profit may not be huge, but Bitcoin volatility can always be profited from, and it can be just a short-term gain depending on the market swings.
Most people usually have the misconception that Bitcoin is just the only means to make money, and especially when they hear people telling their crypto stories, they may just end up believing that Bitcoin is the only option, but just as you have said, the amount of wealth and riches we acquire depends on individuals; Bitcoin is just a support.
indeed many beginners in bitcoin who make bitcoin as a shortcut to get rich quick. and all that is natural, because they see examples that have been successful. but I'm sure that beginners can also change if they get enough experience.because maybe those who are already seniors now could be the same as beginners now.
Beginners should not get so overwhelmed by success stories; they need to really take time and understand what bitcoin investment really entails, because just as smack that Ace has said, if beginners take the wrong approach to investing in Bitcoin, they will lose their funds, not because it is the fault of Bitcoin but because they fail to understand some principles of Bitcoin investment. In my opinion, Bitcoin should not be perceived as the only means to financial freedom or a get-rich-quick scheme.
