Bitcoin is a true monetary revolution. I keep saying that Bitcoin will change the world of the future for the better. A tiny minority of the world's inhabitants have already realized the monumental changes that Bitcoin will bring to the future world where everything will become digital.
Even Bitcoiners cannot predict all the changes that will take place in the years to come due to the emergence of Bitcoin.
While I feel that Bitcoin is moving at an incredibly fast pace since its creation more than twelve years ago by Satoshi Nakamoto, some people seem to be getting impatient pretending to understand that a monetary revolution like Bitcoin necessarily takes time.
To take full advantage of Bitcoin, you will have to move beyond the fear that a major paradigm shift like Bitcoin can inspire you to fully embrace its revolution. This necessarily implies that people who buy Bitcoin before others are necessarily mentally strong people.
In what follows, I will give you five reasons that support this assertion.
They can handle price volatility that is a Bitcoin feature
Bitcoin is the only truly free market in the world. Bitcoin users can decide the equilibrium price at any time. No one can stop the exchange. Bitcoin can be traded 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
No circuit-breaker like in the stock market for example.
This necessarily implies that Bitcoin's price volatility is a feature, not a bug. To take full advantage of Bitcoin, you'll need to be able to keep a cool head on those days when the Bitcoin price offers you red candles of more than $7K:
These days, only the mentally strong can keep their emotions aside and make decisions using only their logical reasoning.
While some sell in a panic, others take the opportunity to accumulate more BTC. It's up to you to choose your side.
They make up their minds about things for themselves, so they understand the why of Bitcoin
The world is divided into two categories. On the one hand, you have the people who blindly believe in what the powerful people at the head of the current system tell them. On the other, you have people who don't let themselves be put to sleep and decide to check everything out for themselves.
The ratio is close to 90/10, if not worse.
People who check everything for themselves are mentally strong people who don't need to be constantly reassured by what others tell them to do. They listen and take the information. They weigh up the pros and cons and then act.
Those who follow this path adhere to the Bitcoin motto: "Don't Trust, Verify".
Anyone who has gone through this process realizes how unfair and flawed the current monetary and financial system is. Even worse, they understand that the current system is not fixable. De facto, buying Bitcoin becomes the best option to protect their money future.
The 90% who remain followers will probably open their eyes one day, but their wealth will already have been fully exposed to the injustice of the current system.
They can take a long-term view
Bitcoin has a price above $40K today. It reached an ATH close to $65K in April 2021. Everyone is talking about Bitcoin now, and while there are still many naysayers, it is clear that the chances of success for the Bitcoin revolution are growing.
Buying Bitcoin today is less difficult than it was in the 2010s in my opinion.
Yet, since just 1% of the world's population owns Bitcoin, you need to be one of those people who can take the long view to embrace the Bitcoin revolution now. This confidence will be essential for you to remain patient in the years to come.
Mentally strong people can demonstrate this certainty once they have set goals for their future. Patience does not scare them. That's good because Bitcoin always rewards patience.
They want to live their lives on their own terms
The majority of people who come to buy Bitcoin do so initially out of greed. It is not an insult to say that. Bitcoin is a NgU technology, and this very feature helps to attract more and more people to Bitcoin.
The challenge then is for these people to understand that Bitcoin is more than a financial investment with a high potential return.
Bitcoin is a technology that allows you to live your life on your own terms. It is the key to achieving contentment in life. Understand that money is time to do what you want in your life. Mentally strong people understand this.
For them, Bitcoin is a unique opportunity. By buying Bitcoin, these people can protect the fruits of their labor from the ravages of monetary inflation in a way that is resistant to censorship. This is what all mentally strong people want. Bitcoin gives them the weapons to achieve this goal.
They have adopted the good side of the motto “Adapt or Die”
The world is constantly changing. Whether you like it or not, the changes in the world you live in will eventually catch up with you. Some people choose to be afraid of change and wait for the effects of that change to affect them. These people will end up overwhelmed.
Other people have realized that the "Adapt or Die" philosophy should be applied to the letter by adapting as quickly as possible to the changes taking place in the world.
In the world of the future, everything will become digital. Bitcoin as the king of digital money will play a major role in this future world. Mentally strong people have understood this and have decided to embrace the Bitcoin revolution without listening to the misconceptions constantly propagated by the powerful at the head of the current monetary and financial system.
These powerful people are simply afraid that the incredible technological disruption of Bitcoin will take away their omnipotence in the current system.
Final Thoughts
Not all mentally strong people buy Bitcoin, but all Bitcoiners are mentally strong people. Indeed, embracing the Bitcoin revolution despite what the powerful in the current system tell you requires taking a step back to decide for yourself what you want to do for your future.
Mentally strong people want to live their lives on their own terms, and Bitcoin gives them the weapons to do so. If you want to take control of your money future, you too will eventually join the Bitcoiners' camp. It's only a matter of time.
