Even if you do not catch the crypto currency wave early, you will still benefit of the fairness and wealth-creating/preserving aspects of this technology.
A new Golden Age.
It's true I was kind of ambivalent about investing at one point because I thought, "If Bitcoin succeeds, just about
everyone is eventually going to be rich by today's standards anyway, whether they bought in or not." It's more about how fast you want to get there. If you invest now, you get to experience financial freedom in a year or two, instead of a decade or two.
Come on Zangelbert. You can't possibly believe
everybody is going to get rich? I mean, sure, if bitcoin is a more efficient method of payment and finance in general, then it will benefit the general population, much like the internet itself has already provided many benefits to the economy. But it doesn't instantaneously transform everybody into millionairs.
Everyone but the last adopters will profit from the appreciation to varying degrees.
The last adopters will have the advantage of sound money, which is not available now. They can save normally and expect to have the full value when they later want to spend them. Now they have to save in the form of a too large house, which is wasting. (A rightly sized house is not good enough for saving for retirement, because you need the house also when you are retired). In Argentina, currently the peso users buy overly expensive cars, obviously a bad investment, but still better than keeping the pesos.
And the really big thieves in the banks will have to stop leeching and do something useful, like mowing you lawn for bitcoins. Abundance for all.
