So a thought occurs. Many of us were eager to tell everyone about bitcoin when we first got into it, but over time have transitioned to a kind of... "meh" stage, where we let people come to us and only deal out information sparingly. Which is completely normal and reasonable, given how humans operate.
But how far does that reach? When the collapse eventually happens and we become some of the few people who are still doing alright, will we still have the same indifferent attitude to people? How will things go?
It's an interesting point. I've seen complacency up close for companies I've worked for. Too lazy to seek new routes for acquiring customers or to fend of competition and often sticking to old methodologies no longer appropriate at the time.
Word of mouth is still important in this game I would have thought, a bit like what kept Facebook growing I guess. The problem Bitcoin still has I think for the average user it is complicated to understand.
But I think Bitcoin has actually got a massive upper hand over Facebook and that is, it's ALL about money so people are willing to overcome that complexity bridge more so than signing up to social media. It's already talked about in almost all financial institutions and publications around the world to the point I can imagine there eventually will be more people holding Bitcoin than owning a Facebook account.
It pretty much seems to be human nature to be greedy and want more, especially people who already have a lot/enough and it is probably going to mostly be those fuelling further growth (the wealthiest 1 percent of the world's population now owns more than half of the world's wealth).
Would anyone be interested if they can only afford a fraction of a fraction of a Bitcoin? I don't know but perhaps it won't matter if even that value can only go up long term. Even after 2140.
