Too expensive as an excuse forever

[VRExpress]

Buying bitcoin is no more a complicated thing, if anyone isn't investing they simply don't have interest, if you force such people they will likely blame you if there is a big dump in the market, because in the first place they have never made up their mind to invest, you are the one that helped them made that decision.

Do not force people to see reason as to why they need to invest in Bitcoin, if they are out then they are out.

[Z-tight]

Some people who believe that BTC is too expensive have the idea that they have to buy one BTC or more at once, in order to have invested in it. Such people even prefer to purchase shitcoins with zero value, simply because they can buy hundreds of it, how gullible. It is more common than you can imagine, a lot of people are holding tons of shitcoins today, because they had the idea that it is what their money can afford.

However, slowly buying BTC and building your portfolio is a much better choice than buying hundreds or thousands of a shitcoin. Rather than saying BTC is expensive, start by buying a few sats and walk your way up.

I don't take this to heart but I do wish I am the one in his shoes, I don't make a lot to take advantage of bitcoin like I wanted, if not I would have make a lot, still, all I learnt is that many people won't take opportunities presented to them, it's not their fault anyways, can't force anyone to invest in something they don't believe in.

Life is unfair, those who understand bitcoin want to invest and give their full to get the best results, because they beleive in it and they know bitcoin is going to be the future of the digital world, and it is already dominating and competing with some famous companies by market cap.

Your friend have money but he is not agreeing to invest in it, and you agree and want to invest in btc but you lack those funds. But don't worry life is not always unfair, sometimes it gives you the most wanted thing at the very right time and sits back to see what you can do with it now. So give your full everytime, don't look back with negative thoughts, because accumulating btc even with small funds using DCA can bring a lot of profit.

Too expensive is other way of saying they're too afraid to invest. There are many people like this and honestly, I don't think they are suited to invest in something like bitcoin. There is a chance that they'd sell it the first time they see some dips.

If anyone out there really have beliefs that bitcoin will be worth something in the future and want to invest in it, they don't need convincing. They'd actively seek information and put actual effort.

...all I learnt is that many people won't take opportunities presented to them, it's not their fault anyways, can't force anyone to invest in something they don't believe in.

Of course, you don't have to take their refusals to heart. Think nothing of it. For me, you're even putting yourself at a risk of ridicule because someone like that will quickly turn round to blame you if they eventually invest and price dips. I don't put myself out that way now. Though I did when I started newly because I felt that was the right thing to do for those around me. Sadly, a lot of them never believed then. I let them be. Though some of them keyed in years later.

Like one crypto influencer says – People will invest/buy at the price they deserve. If someone doesn't invest at $30k, maybe their deserved price is $70k or $126k or even $25k or less more. I don't bother with people investing in Bitcoin or not anymore. I know they won't share their profit with me. They would rather blame me if things went wrong. I don't want blames.

When you think about it, the price of BTC is indeed high, and it's only natural that people say so because with just 1 BTC, we can buy a house in my area. I used to think that way too, but after joining this forum, I finally understood a little about BTC and ended up not focusing on the price of BTC anymore, but only on collecting BTC. In fact, BTC has never disappointed me because its price continues to rise and will definitely continue to reach new all-time highs

So, in this case, everyone is different because some say BTC is too expensive because they don't want to buy it or because they are waiting for a price drop first. The main reason is a lack of experience and knowledge about BTC and BTC investment But in my opinion, the most important thing is to focus on ourselves because we can't force others to think the same way since everyone has different perspectives

In 2020 I begged someone who buy Bitcoin, even while it was very cheap at the time he said it's too expensive, he has the money but Bitcoin proved him wrong just a few months into 2021. I told him to start buying at 58,000 this year again and he still gave me the same excuse that it's too high, he expected same price as the 2020 again before he can buy. I just get to know that no matter what happens some people will never buy Bitcoin even when they can afford it.

Even if this guy had bought BTC at 58K USD back in 2021, he would've most likely sold everything in 2022, when the price dropped down to 17K because of the FTX drama. Giving financial advice to other people is pointless, if you ask me. If he doesn't want to buy BTC, just leave him alone and don't push him to make such decisions, because he will put the blame on you, when the price crashes and he panic sells all his BTC.
The people, who always find excuses to not do this or that are usually pretty cautious and hate taking risks. Bitcoin isn't for the risk haters.

At times like this you should first show them the historical charts and how price has moved all these years (~17 years of history) and then remind them that whenever someone wants to purchase gold, they don't buy a kilo of it! Instead they purchase a tiny amount, like an ounce or in form of jewelry that is a couple of grams of gold.
Similarly whenever they want to buy bitcoin, they don't have to buy a whole coin. They can purchase small increments as well.

But apart from that, some people will always say "it is too expensive". Nothing can be done about them. I remember they were saying it is too expensive when price was only $200 back when I first got into bitcoin over a decade ago.

They would say Bitcoin is too expensive and end up buying some cheap shitcoins that will become worthless in the future.

So many people think you need to buy one Bitcoin to own it. Giving them the right information that it could be bought in bits is essential in helping them make the right decisions. DCA looks attractive to new investors since it is a simple but effective strategy.

For those who want the price to crash to an amount they want before they buy, they might wait forever.

We always can accumulate BTC little by little.

Most just don't see as something viable because it needs time, effort, and discipline. And everybody wants results, 1 BTC let's say, here and now. And this won't happen.

What can happen is 1 BTC being accumulated through the years to come.

So many people will live the rest of their life doing nothing about Bitcoin, not because they can't afford to invest but they so much believe that Bitcoin value is just too high.

In 2020 I begged someone who buy Bitcoin, even while it was very cheap at the time he said it's too expensive, he has the money but Bitcoin proved him wrong just a few months into 2021. I told him to start buying at 58,000 this year again and he still gave me the same excuse that it's too high, he expected same price as the 2020 again before he can buy. I just get to know that no matter what happens some people will never buy Bitcoin even when they can afford it.

If many investors have this mindset when they were suppose to start their investment in Bitcoin, then most of the people that are big into the investment wouldn’t have taken that bold step to start up the investment. Bitcoin has been around for quite a long time now and for every time someone says it’s too expensive to buy, they get wowed by the next big move of Bitcoin forgetting that it may never come back to that price again since the market is on an uptrend trajectory. The best time to buy bitcoin was yesterday and the second best time is now.

I don't take this to heart but I do wish I am the one in his shoes, I don't make a lot to take advantage of bitcoin like I wanted, if not I would have make a lot, still, all I learnt is that many people won't take opportunities presented to them, it's not their fault anyways, can't force anyone to invest in something they don't believe in.

Don’t try to force or persuade anyone to invest into any business or asset, they’ll come back to blame you when things don’t go as planned forgetting that every business or investment has risk involved which may or maybke affect your investment. Bitcoin has proven to not be risk free, and at the moment it is still the best you can invest into and be assured of profiting from in the long term. Bitcoin is very volatile but at the same time very perfect for long term investment with good ROI.

The Bitcoin value being too high is not the main factor prohibiting the general public from getting into Bitcoin.

Not everyone saves money for their future or even their next car. Things like that can be financed with a loan
and a lot of people are happy to live in debt.

The majority of people "trust" their banks and find them extremely convenient, you can save, get loans, mortgages,
business loans, you get a card for making payments, a phone app, in some cases insurance. Very convenient!

A lot of people are ignorant of what Bitcoin can offer and are happy to continue today as they did yesterday.

So many people will live the rest of their life doing nothing about Bitcoin, not because they can't afford to invest but they so much believe that Bitcoin value is just too high.

Many people live their lives doing nothing with it. Without trying to make any changes. What business would they have of "doing anything" with bitcoin?

In 2020 I begged someone who buy Bitcoin, even while it was very cheap at the time he said it's too expensive, he has the money but Bitcoin proved him wrong just a few months into 2021.

Some people prefer watching football to playing. Same with bitcoin. There are people who, like fans, watch from the sidelines but don't get involved in the game. That's their right. Let them live their lives the way they want. Don't try to change their lives for them if they don't want to.

Some people see opportunities in bitcoin, others don't. Everyone goes their own way. It's not a given that choosing bitcoin will lead to success and wealth, but at least it offers hope in the attempt.

Let's not forget about the risk of any investment.

yeah i've seen this whole thing play out before, back in the other cycles...people say 'just let them be' like they're watching a game, and then the price moons and suddenly they're scrambling to get in way too late.

i remember this exact talk around 2016 when btc was for 'techies' and look at it now, pushing 90k. it's the same pattern every single time: dismissal, then FOMO, then regret.
you can't force it though, it's gotta be a personal choice. some watch, some play, and the ones who play early usually get the reward...but that's not a promise.

honestly it just comes down to your own conviction, no one else's. i've watched friends ignore it at 1k and then panic-buy at 60k.

it's a rerun, and frankly it's exhausting, but that's the game. you either get in or you don't, and history shows what waiting costs you.

[beerlover]

This is why you should not invest into bitcoin once and just ignore it and think that you will get rich over it. That time is gone and you are not going to have that. But, what you can do is get a bit of bitcoin every time you get your salary and do that until you retire. ıf you do this then you are going to end up with some good returns and your profits will be immense, not a lot of people do it but that is the way to get a lot richer.

If you do DCA this way for 20 years then you will be rich and some people area already doing it. All those old days where you bought bitcoin at cheap price and then you get wealthy is gone, but that doesn't mean that making money from bitcoin is gone as well, that is still possible in a different way.

For those people who dont understand the bitcoin for sure they dont wanted to buy bitcoin at the discounted price of course and its more likely the reason why they ended up having an excuse such as they dont have a time to buy and they think that the price of the bitcoin are still on the highest point but if they tried to look the price of the bitcoin in a longest time frame there is a chance they will now appreciate the bitcoin price. As of now we experience from the ATH of the bitcoin from 120k now down to the 60k and for sure tons of people who are not into bitcoin surely they will consider this as high and few expect still its on the peak but if you tried to compare at the previous ATH its now the support of the Bitcoin now the confirmation yet if there is more down trend no one knows so if you are still trusted with the bitcoin potential doing a DCA for the next halving cycle.

Personally if you dont think that person is aint interested anymore better to not give much time and effort and for those wanted to learn and engage with the bitcoin only.

[macson]

There will always be people like that. When the Bitcoin price is low, they hesitate to buy, believing it's too expensive. However, when the Bitcoin price rises significantly, they regret not buying at such a low price. This happens repeatedly in every Bitcoin cycle, so it's no surprise.

So, I think if someone is introduced to Bitcoin and they find reasons not to buy it because they think it's too expensive, it could be said that they're just not ready to invest their money in Bitcoin. If they understood Bitcoin's potential, perhaps they would immediately consider buying Bitcoin, even if it's a small initial allocation.

[Pauldesaints]

I don't think you were able to explain to him how it works and the benefits of he allowed it to mature as along time investment.nobody wouldn't want to invest in Bitcoin if he or she fully understand what Bitcoin is all about and how it works.i sincerely believe he is completely ignorant and lack the necessary information about Bitcoin.

[Razmirraz]

Everyone has a different opinion about Bitcoin investing. Those who choose not to invest in Bitcoin because they consider the price of Bitcoin to be too expensive and unstable, opinions like this show that they do not understand at all how Bitcoin works and its uses. However, despite the negative mindset of some people who do not believe in Bitcoin long-term potential, there are still many people who are trying to use Bitcoin as an asset to achieve financial freedom in the future. They never hesitate to buy Bitcoin even though its value is relatively high because they feel confident in the price increase in the future.
It is very difficult to convince people who still think Bitcoin is too expensive, the price is just a number, as long as there is a desire to invest, there is always a way to continue accumulating the amount because Bitcoin can be purchased in small amounts.

[TheUltraElite]

Those who choose not to invest in bitcoin it is their choice and forcing our opinion on them is not the correct approach, it only reinforces the cult mentality of bitcoin which is wrong. Instead just let them understand the profit they could have achieved by going into bitcoin, they might have own negative views which may be partially correct and we dont need to always correct them.

Now the people who are not buying due to the price, one can explain that buying 1BTC is not needed but smaller fractions and the average user has less than 1BTC in their wallet anyhow.

[vanesha]

Actually, it’s not wrong for them to think that Bitcoin’s price is too high. However, some of them choose to leave the crypto space after seeing how expensive Bitcoin has become. It’s quite unfortunate that they don’t research smaller coins, which I believe could serve as alternatives to Bitcoin. Perhaps one day there will be an altcoin that rises to a level comparable to Bitcoin. In reality, that opportunity always exists.
