To judge if bitcoin is worth to invest in, you may consider this universal monetary rule:
There is NO good, easy, risk free money, that is available for everyone.
If the money good and risk free, it is called a heritage and it is not available for everyone.
If the money is good and available for everyone, its is called an entrepreneurship and its not risk free nor usually easy.
If the money is risk free and available for anyone, it is called a salary, but that is usually not very good.
If anyone claims, that money is good, easy, risk free and anyone can get their share of it, it is essentially a scam. Doesnt matter if You are being scammed with money, electricity or just waste of time. It also doesnt matter if there are several people who get scammed big time at once or millions, that are scammed bit by bit, it is still a scam. Any deal, where people are attracted with false promises and where the nature of their investment is kept hidden by purpose, is a scam. Bitcoin is not what promised and that fact is being disguised now.
I like what you have written here dohh. And to sum it up, it's all about risk and scam.
As the old adage goes, any investment is not for the faint hearted, it requires bravery and a lot of risking so to say.
Unfortunately, even the most risky person you get to know may not have enough asset to make an investment (a supplementary truth to your universal money rule). Thus, boiling it down to the truth that investment is not for everyone, it is for the wealthy and the risky, combined.
You will see a lot of genuinely concerned people fend off investment goals of those who does not have enough, have only enough and have more than enough but no knowledgeable on the economics of crypto. They are the best people to consult with. And as you tipped the iceberg of scam, the shinier the promises of return on investment with bitcoin, the bigger the problem that could be lying down beneath such promise which usually causes a damaging collision.
Thanks for you thoughts by the way.
