Yet the truth is that the get rich quick mentality is still out there. Especially among the young, there is more pressure, less jobs, more responsibilities. So they look for shortcuts.
You are very correct when you said the get rich mentality is still there and it will still be very difficult to slide off because the rate of poor living is still at the higher side, many people are still living from hand to mouth, no good job or any easy means of earning something tangible, therefore people will continue seeing Bitcoin as an easy way of climbing to the top and that will still not work because Bitcoin can't work that way.
However, Bitcoin only pays the patients once, the people that are consistent in their accumulations, the braves and willing to take the risk involved and that's it no two way about it no magic.
Actually since I started doing this Bitcoin stuff for some times now I have come to understand and learn so many things in life that has contributed immensely to my everyday life. Stuffs like cur discipline, risk taking, bankroll management strategy, consistency in all I do, understanding the importance of privacy, being security concious and many more. Furthermore, to me Bitcoin innovation wasn't just a means of attaining financial freedom but also a way of protecting my funds from inflation so any person that choose that path (Bitcoin) have actually done himself a life time favour.
