Too expensive as an excuse forever

[Kelvinid]

The truth is, there is nothing too expensive for those who believe it, for those who value every portion of bitcoin. And even if the price drops too low, still we will hear the same excuse. So don't bother convincing these kind of people, you will only get to be blamed once they started investing and the price drops all of a sudden.

Instead of trying to force others, work on your income so you can finally invest on your own. Don't settle for a single job but work on another side hustle that will give you additional income, and maybe by that time you will have extra money to buy on your own and invest for long term.

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,

If I may asked, were you able to explain to him he could buy just a fraction of it, and not the entire full Bitcoin? Because it is obvious he might be thinking you meant buying the full entire 1 Bitcoin worth that $58,000. Because don't be surprised there are people who might not understand how Bitcoin works and yet financially bouyant by doing business and other activities that generate daily income. But if he knows about Bitcoin but yet chooses to ignore it, then you definitely can't force him. Because Bitcoin is not meant for everybody, and for the fact that a person doesn't invest in Bitcoin doesn't mean he/she can't be financially stable.

[Vaculin]

You don't have to beg for other people to start investing in bitcoin, that's a very wrong move, you will only be the last to be blamed once their investment does not work and their expectations aren't met. Just accept the fact that if they have the desire to invest, they will find means on their own, and they should have done it before while bitcoin price is still very cheap.

No matter how profitable bitcoin is, not everyone will be attracted on it because not everyone will understand bitcoin's volatility. For us it may be an asset to bitcoin, but for them its a big threat that will lead them to losses in the end.

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.

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.

I don't think they understand the intrinsic value of Bitcoin, and those who say "Bitcoin is expensive" or "It is too expensive" don't really understand it. If they did, they would change their perspective on Bitcoin.

Let me outline some of the intrinsic values ​​of Bitcoin that I got from a reference :
1. Security-wise, Bitcoin is highly secure against any attack, and has never been hacked.
2. Decentralization-wise, Bitcoin simplifies transactions, and all transaction records are validated by numerous validators, making it difficult to manipulate.
3. Scarcity-wise, Bitcoin is extremely rare, with only 21 million Bitcoins ever created, and cannot be printed more, like fiat, the mining reward decreases over time, making it more valuable due to its difficulty in obtaining it.
4. Utility-wise, Bitcoin can be useful as a transaction tool, and it can even be used for investment purposes. Many people, even countries, have used Bitcoin as a transaction tool or investment. I recall a campaign donation in a country that uses Bitcoin as a transaction tool, as well as a country that uses Bitcoin as a state asset.

Reference : pintu.co.id - Bitcoin's Intrinsic Value (Need translation, from Bahasa/Indonesian to English, to read it)

In essence, Bitcoin intrinsic value, its usefulness, and its ability to adapt to changing times, will always make it valuable, even extremely valuable. So, Bitcoin will be very valuable in the future, and this is what they don't know. By the way, I am sure the people who say Bitcoin is "expensive" have been around for several years, even when the price was around $1,000.

So, do you still say Bitcoin is expensive?

If you still don't understand, try looking at Nvidia stock over time, up until now. Why do you think Nvidia value has increased? And how did people know the potential demand for graphics cards would increase in the future? Well, the answer is "Intrinsic Value", and Bitcoin has it. I am very confident that the demand for Bitcoin will increase over time, it is only a matter of time until we see Bitcoin prices very high in the future. Cmiiw.

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 2012 Bitcoin price was $13-$14 same people at that time Said Bitcoin was too expensive at that price but in 2013 Bitcoin went to as high as $750 to $1000 the begining of the bull records,now Bitcoin reached an all time high of $122,000 that is massive what it means is that, those that thinks Bitcoin is expensive will keep missing out or the trend.

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 in 2020 again before he can buy. I just got to know that no matter what happens some people will never buy Bitcoin even when they can afford it.

You should not stress yourself with such individuals, they can never think smarter than their IQ and since they have their minds made up, about Bitcoin they will keep giving the same excuse that Bitcoin is too expensive for them.

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 beat yourself over missed chances to accumulate more Bitcoin back then when the price was lower than now, since you already have that knowledge what you should do is position yourself from here going forward.

Newbies should increase their Bitcoin and cash savings to ensure life management. Bitcoin deposits are important for those who have not seen Bitcoin's full cycle. Although some may hedge because of doubts. Everyone should take responsibility for their own decisions. It is not excessive optimism about the success of Bitcoin but excessive doubt and distrust of people at the retail level that is preventing Bitcoin adoption. Negative and suspicious thinking creates fear, which causes many to delay and express reluctance to invest. The biggest obstacle to people's success in Bitcoin is doubt and negative attitude, which is preventing many from getting investment opportunities.

Well.... there is no law that says that everyone must invest in Bitcoin. They sure have a lot of options out there.

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.

That's because they do not want to buy. Even if it drops to 2020 price level they won't buy, simple.

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.

Well... work hard and make your own money. Then you could buy Bitcoin even at $500k.

[Jostern]

I think most people wouldn’t want to buy bitcoin because they don’t have money but I think it’s because of ignorance, let’s look at it this way, you have money and you know so many things about bitcoin, but you’re refusing to buy bitcoin not because you don’t have the money available, but because you’re having a very bad and terrible experience because of your experience with other cryptocurrencies, so many people doesn’t even know what Bitcoin is all about, because they are finding it difficult to believe that Bitcoin is even real to invest, and they also think that bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme which i think ignorance is a very huge challenge when it comes to people making up their mind about investing in bitcoin.

Bitcoin is expensive for true, but I must tell you that their are people who have so much money and are still not by buying bitcoin, because they’re not interested in buying and investing in bitcoin, well I must still say that everyone have their reasons for not investing in bitcoin but the reason is best known to them anyways, you can buy bitcoin little by little on a consistent basis, there is DCA that you can accumulate bitcoin more on a consistent basis considering that you have that discretionary income, but still there is no difference between buying bitcoin through DCA and you’re still talking about bitcoin being expensive.

[MArsland]

Not everybody will have Bitcoin, and that's fine, but what do people mean when they say Bitcoin is too expensive to buy? They don't need to have money to buy 1btc before they can afford Bitcoin. They can buy with whatever amount they feel is not too expensive for them.
Anyone who feels Bitcoin is too expensive doesn't understand Bitcoin anyway.   

This happened to my family where almost all of my eldest brothers I kept suggesting to buy bitcoin at the time but he ignored it, even though economically he was supportive enough to buy 2 to 3 BTC whose range was still very cheap. But it's true what people say bitcoin is not for those who don't understand it but Bitcoin is for those who know and need financial alternatives. Therefore now he can only regret not following the advice I have given. Now the price of bitcoin has dropped dramatically from ATH but there is nothing else I have to offer him.

When it comes to Bitcoin,everybody knows that their beliefs are not failing them.Obviously,you only convince people but you can't force someone into buying your idea.Even that idea of "too expensive" is a misconception and they're only reacting emotionally.Mindsets/lack of Bitcoin understanding is one of the constructs that prevents people from benefiting from Bitcoin.

The job of the people is to listen, then reason with themselves of why they should do it or not, and take this decision. Not because of someone, but because they think it will work

[dezoel]

Investing in bitcoin is by choice, i will never advise or beg anyone to invest in bitcoin, anyone who is interested in investing in bitcoin will ask me how to invest in bitcoin, many people did not believe from the beginning and till now they still don’t believe it, no matter how you explain it to them they will never believe it, many people are capable of investing in bitcoin but they don’t have the mind to use their money to buy it just because they don’t believe in bitcoin.

Trust issue have become a big problem for many people and it has make many people to lose the opportunity they have to become rich in their life, many people will use the price of bitcoin as an excuse for not being able to buy it but deep down their heart they don’t want to invest in it, only those who understand bitcoin will always invest in it.

This is the way to go. I will not tell people to go buy bitcoin, if they want to then that's great and if they do not want to then it is not my job to teach them why it's a good idea.

But when they do want to buy some bitcoin and don't know how to and do not trust the results on google and ask me how to do it, then I will show them how to, open a binance account for them, show them how to put fiat in it and show them how to get it out as well. That's how you help, with showing how it's done, but not tell them what to do.

What you just described is a human behavior that is normal. People anchor to prices that are old. When they saw BTC at a lesser price earlier, anything that is higher feels very expensive, even when the long term trend is up. It is more of psychology than just money.

You can not convince anyone to make investment when they do not have belief in it. And truthfully, no one should have to invest only because somebody some where says so.

Always focus on just what you can control. When you believe in it, raise your position slowly and responsibly. Regret do not compound, yet consistency does.  Opportunities usually appears obvious in hindsight. The major lesson is patience, discipline, and allowing others to move at their very own pace.

[Woodie]

At face value it does look expensive especially if you think that you have to buy a whole Bitcoin for you to be part of the crypto journey, but the second you know smaller chunks of Bitcoin can be bought and that's the last time someone becomes negative about bitcoin.. otherwise with investment strategies like DCAing.. bitcoin is available for everyone!!

[Sonia_123]

Too expensive is a sign of laziness and shows that the investor is not serious and ready to invest therefore one should not be disturbed by those set of persons, because no matter how you try to convince them they still will not be ready to invest.

You don't need to force anyone to invest into bitcoin because bitcoin speaks for himself now, no matter what the market is like now.

You have tried your best in tried your best by trying to make him invest in bitcoin, and since he refuses he will watch watch bitcoin turns out to be in future and regret not Investing early.

[darktalks100]

It's really interesting because I am the same way. Except for the fact that it could ruin sleep schedules, patterns, increase human stress hormone cortisol and friendships. The reason could be one of these underlying issues. I think we all know bitcoin is going up during the halving. Didnt expect it to have available at ATMs making it a great source to buy next time I work.

[Makus]

Bitcoin is for everyone but not everyone is going to invest in it, this simply means that the market is simply means that bitcoin is open to everyone and anyone can gain access to start investing but because we all have different ideas and our mindset on it isn't the same not everyone is going to invest in bitcoin and that's okay, this doesn't mean that they cannot succeed in other things that they might get involved in. Waiting for bitcoin to reduce lower is just an excuse, if he really wanted to invest he would have done so. A lot of people are skeptical about bitcoin even after it has reached such heights, when they see that the price is falling they think its going to continue reducing just like altcoins but that's the difference between these two, altcoins are more volatile than bitcoin because you can never see bitcoin reduce a person's portfolio to zero. Saying that bitcoin is too expensive is just a sign that he is unseriois because if he actually wanted to he would have Used DCA or any other systems that makes investment more easier.

Exactly,bitcoin being too expensive would be a forever excuse to those that don’t want to buy it.It’s fine telling people you’re not interested in bitcoin investment rather than telling them it’s because it’s too expensive to afford.A financial advisor would never tell you to buy the whole bitcoin for a start,probably that’s exactly where people are getting it wrong,bitcoin is divisible in essence you can start your bitcoin investment journey by buying the fraction of bitcoin and not a whole bitcoin which may seem impossible as a beginner.

Yeah. It would only matter if you would be consistent with it.. The whole process requires you to continue the accumulation little by little if you want results.
