For those of us who have completely fallen down the rabbit hole of Bitcoin, there is often one wrong assumption that we always make. We often overestimate how many people are “actually” into Bitcoin, and how long it will take for real mainstream adoption to take place. We can’t understand why everyone doesn’t see the world like we do. After all, it is so obvious to us that Bitcoin is the future, and that it will eventually be worth $1 million per coin.
There is no denying that Bitcoin has progressed tremendously since it was created to get to the point it is at today. It has defied all expectations. If you were a betting man, you would have bet that Bitcoin would either never amount to anything, would become a criminal offense to own, or would flat-out be banned by governments.
But times are different and the world is changing. Bitcoiners see how the world actually operates and knows that the game of money is rigged against most people. There is no better example of this than the current banking crisis in the US. For the first time in a century, people were reminded of the fact that the money in the bank isn’t theirs. Until the government stepped in to bail out banks, there was real panic in the country. It was a wake-up call to many that sounded the alarms, and quickly taught them the real value of Bitcoin.
Having the ability to take full custody of your own assets. Not needing to depend on a third party to transact. Being able to send your coins whenever you want, to anyone you want. A way to escape the current financial system, and protect your wealth from being inflated away. Something that cannot be frozen, and is unconfiscatable. Many people woke up to this fact and began buying Bitcoin.
But it was a far fewer amount than we would hope for. The sad reality is that most people remained oblivious to this entire situation. Continuing to view banks as safe, viewing cash as king, and not even knowing that their wealth is being inflated away.
Bitcoiners often overestimate how many people are actually into Bitcoin. People that own Bitcoin, know how to use it, and keep up to date on the recent news in the marketplace. We often like to say that millions of people own Bitcoin in the world. But the truth is that number of “Bitcoiners” is much smaller than that.
For example; imagine all of your friends, family, co-workers, and acquaintances. How many of them own a substantial amount of Bitcoin? Then ask yourself how many of them would you consider Bitcoiners and know what they’re doing. The answer is likely to be very small.
As Bitcoiners, we have full conviction in not only the future of this asset but this market in general. This gives us a vital responsibility. If we want Bitcoin to go mainstream, and eventually reach those magical price levels we have all been dreaming of. Then it is our responsibility to help educate those around us. Enlighten them on how the world operates. Teach them about what money really is. Then teach them the real value of Bitcoin. If we want Bitcoin to continue to soar, we all need to do our part.
Ask not what Bitcoin can do for you. Ask what you can do for Bitcoin.
How about you? How many “real” Bitcoiners do you know?
