Just an upcoming youtuber advocating for people to purchase Bitcoin even for at least a dollar, the journey from Bitcoin equivalent to a dollar and Bitcoin currently $100K is too wide that even critics are beginning to change from their aggressions.
Buying bitcoin at that time, even for $100, would make anyone rich now. Even taking into account that bitcoin will cost $100k by now. With my current perception and knowledge, I would have risked these $100. But at that moment, my thinking was different, and of course, even if I had the money, I would not have bought bitcoin for $1.
Now, imagine being begged to purchase what will create you fortunes, same happened 2011 and what do we think about those failing to have a take on Bitcoin currently? It does look like a great deal because exactly 8 years from now, the price of Bitcoin will look very different just as it is as of today compared to 2011.
Clearly, it is false that we can get 1 Bitcoin worth a Dollar no matter how the DIP happens.
When I am asked to do something, with persuasion, with a plea, or in some other way, then doubts arise whether it is worth buying because of the intrusive offer. It often looks very much like a scam.
At that time (early years of bitcoin) it was unclear where it would all lead. Ponzi schemes have been known for a long time and people were wary of everything obscure and unfamiliar, which was bitcoin at that time (I mean, a new, unclear asset, which is not known how it will behave). Only now does anyone consider themselves an expert in investing in bitcoin, but back then it was a rarity.
Now buying bitcoin looks like a great deal, but at that time, it looked like one of the ways to throw money down the drain.
