A friend is running a business and all he can do is pay bills and eat, he is not in power to do more than this, but having the knowledge about bitcoin is making him to question if he have wasted his time learning about Bitcoin.
Is the only way to be part of this movement is by becoming an investor?
I get that, it is frustratingrating but calling it failure is completely the wrong way to look at it. Not everyone who understands medicine can become a doctor, and not everyone who understands bitcoin needs to be an investor. They are a part of community and playing an important role even if they are not investing but at least sharing the word, spreading the awareness.
He might not be able to invest due to financial constraints right, but he is also running a business so I don't get it completely how come he failed to manage some funds for investing. I think being early to the knowledge is still being early, saying it nothing is wrong.
There are people struggling in my country, they have jobs but the money goes to rent and food, it is really this bad in my country, so yes it's very possible to work and still unable to DCA into Bitcoin.
If you can spare a dollar though, where will this get you every month? Some people are in very tight position that investment becomes so impossible for them.
As for business owners, some still falls under this same situation, I can remember closing my business in the evening and have to walk home because I don't make any sales, even sometimes in the morning I have to walk to my store because of bad sales.
It's not all good for some people in this world, many are so tired that surviving becomes the only thing that they can do for themselves.
