A waste of time?

[Proty]

Is it an achievement to have knowledge about Bitcoin but not be able to invest in Bitcoin?

If teaching and spreading news about Bitcoin is all you can do, would you considered yourself a total failure?

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?

it is not enough to know about bitcoin without investing in it because having knowledge of bitcoin while still remaining a no coiner won't benefit the person in any way. Knowledge alone without action is useless, therefore as much as having knowledge about bitcoin is good, the most important thing is having an investment in bitcoin because this the only way we can actually profit from bitcoin. So yes the only way to be part of the bitcoin movement is by becoming an investor.

What special knowledge about bitcoin exists? How to buy it, where to store it, how to use it? Is this what you call gaining knowledge about bitcoin?

If teaching and spreading news about Bitcoin is all you can do, would you considered yourself a total failure?

I don't do either. But if we're talking about training at Antonopoulos's level, I wouldn't call it a failure.

In an age when everyone has access to news via smartphone, do we need such news distributors? This isn't the 18th century, when people traveled between villages and spread the news by word of mouth.

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.

What business are you talking about? Is it about teaching about bitcoin and spreading crypto news? What level is this business? Does it generate income only enough to cover the cost of food? If so, then it's a joke, not a business, and in that case, your friend should learn something useful and profitable instead of wasting his time like this.

Is he a bitcoin pilgrim or something, traveling like a missionary through new lands with the teachings of bitcoin?

Is the only way to be part of this movement is by becoming an investor?

No, to be a BTC-user. Start using bitcoin.

As long as a person has the ability and the knowledge of bitcoin then investing in it will be of a positive impact because with the knowledge that one has gain already when such person invest in bitcoin and apply the absolute knowledge learnt then of course such individual will make positive gains and profits from it.
 Some have the knowledge of bitcoin and the appropriate way of investing in it but they lack the resources and funds to start up an investment so we can call such persons a failure instead they are not just buoyant enough or financially strong enough to invest in bitcoin but with their knowledge they can encourage others to and convince a lot to invest in bitcoin and make good profits from it and they can as well take little percentage from their service and in such manner they can make honest gains.
Knowledge is never a waste even if we haven’t made a lot from it.

If a person has knowledge about Bitcoin and does not invest in Bitcoin, it is not a failed achievement. It is certainly a successful achievement because when a person learns about Bitcoin, he will definitely invest in Bitcoin, if not now, later or someday, and achieve success from Bitcoin. But if a person does not have knowledge about Bitcoin, he will not be able to learn about Bitcoin or invest in it later. A person can invest only when he gains experience about Bitcoin.

[Wakate]

If you have a good knowledge about Bitcoin and you don't have the money to invest, that shouldn't be a problem if you can look for a means to the sh people about Bitcoin and ask for a token like donation which you can use to invest in Bitcoin.
There are people that will be willing to pay you for you to teach them about Bitcoin. Your knowledge is not a waste and you can use it to raise money that can be sufficient for you to invest in Bitcoin. Having adequate knowledge on Bitcoin and having the money to invest is a bonus.

For me, it's not an achievement.

It's also not a failure because he has indirectly invested in a different way, even if not in physical form.

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.

The time hasn't come for him to do so because he can barely cover those needs. If he had more money from his business, I believe he would do it because he knows about Bitcoin.

Is the only way to be part of this movement is by becoming an investor?

I don't understand this one.

People are earning here just by sharing information about Bitcoin, crypto and other related topics. No true Bitcoin enthusiast will consider himself a failure for not being able to invest. Knowing bitcoin comes with different opportunities, just be ready to grab the opportunity when it comes. Yes when opportunity meets preparedness, there is always a positive result at the end. Infact, bitcoiners should stop making investments the first thing they talk about when introducing bitcoin to newbies, that is the reason why newbies raise their expectations when making decisions to buy bitcoins.

Before participating in Bitcoin investment, it is important to gain knowledge about Bitcoin investment. Because gaining knowledge is creating your own wealth, because gaining knowledge is never stupid, so gaining knowledge is at least a good idea. If you can gain knowledge about Bitcoin, then you will definitely understand the meaning of investment, so before investing in Bitcoin, it is important to first gain knowledge about Bitcoin and later that person will look for opportunities to participate in investment.

I wouldn't call it movement too..

There are truly many ways to engrave yourself into the community and even earn a bit from it.

But the best course of action is to acquire a stable job -> good source of income -> ability to invest.

[Olatundespo]

Is it an achievement to have knowledge about Bitcoin but not be able to invest in Bitcoin?

Almost everyone has the ability to learn about Bitcoin but not everyone has the ability to invest. A poor person may not have the funds available to him but he can easily learn about Bitcoin. This means that if he cannot invest in Bitcoin at that time, he will accumulate Bitcoin in the future when he is financially capable.

If teaching and spreading news about Bitcoin is all you can do, would you considered yourself a total failure?

No matter what profession you are in, the right to make your financial decisions is solely yours. You are studying extensively about Bitcoin and knowing about its intrinsic value but are not accumulating for the future. Even if it is your decision, even if you have the financial capacity, not saving Bitcoin will be foolish and will lead to financial failure for you.

Is the only way to be part of this movement is by becoming an investor?

Being an investor is your personal decision but if you are guided in the wrong direction, it will negatively affect your personal life. Not being able to accumulate Bitcoin despite your discretionary income is just laziness and you will have to regret it in the future because you are wasting an easy opportunity. You should jump in and buy Bitcoin using the DCA method for the long term, no matter how much Bitcoin you can afford to accumulate.

Remember especially with Bitcoin "achievements are personal" what i want to achieve with Bitcoin may not in fact be your own expectations with Bitcoin, some person generally just crave for information and if it is worth looking in more to them, they look more otherwise the knowledge was the objective and that was achieved. Now there are different ways of learning things, either by reading or listening to people with experience talk or you just experience it yourself, either way you are learning.

I believe in educating first and then allwoing the masses make up their own mind, if the product is truly a solution to a thier problem then you dont need to do much to make thier start using it or investing in it, so as long as you educate them properly, they can make up thier minds. If i invest my time into learning about Bitcoin then i consider myself an investor already becuase i have invested something precious to me and I expect "knowledge" for the investment made.

Investing in bitcoin is one thing and another is knowing what bitcoin is and educational background of it ..at least having achievement of bitcoin is enough because what you learn from bitcoin can be applied to other sources of currencies and business related matters....It doesn't mean if you did not invest in bitcoin and think it's a waste of time knowing what bitcoin is having education of it.....

It can be applied though BTC and crypto space in general is much different to what a person can adapt here.. You would trade your custody for more reliable ways to get.. a "helping" hand.

[tygeade]

There are a lot more ways to be involved in the cryptocurrency world without becoming an investor. I know that it is the best and biggest way that people join and if you could then you should definitely do that, but it's not the only way. What are some other ways? Mainly working for it, you could always do whatever you can, signature campaigns, graphic design, coding, hell with Claude these days almost everyone can code.

This is why the best way to move forward would be the fact that we are going to see this as something that would be very possible to participate and make some money, without putting your own. Earning crypto in any possible way that you could think of, would be the next best way to join the movement.

But usually, people who have an interest and knowledge about Bitcoin will motivate themselves to own Bitcoin. With the experience and knowledge they have, it should not be difficult to find Bitcoin investment methods even if their income is very limited.
No knowledge is meaningless, and it is never too late to own Bitcoin. Manage your finances well and see how small an amount we can set aside to start.

I'll agree with your statement cause understanding what Bitcoin investment is about including the potential of offering someone financial freedom is enough to motivate someone to look for the necessary funds for investment.
 Also, there are people who feel they can't invest in Bitcoin cause it's very costly but would have a second thought to invest when they finally understand that they can invest gradually regardless of their financial strength.

If you have small investment even then you can start investing in Bitcoin, thanks to DCA strategy. The DCA strategy can be a life changer specially for those who only have limited amount to invest in bitcoin. The only challenge is to remain regular in investing in Bitcoin otherwise your small investment wont give you good return. The small investor just need to manage there finances with care to spare some money for Bitcoin on weekly basis. The DCA strategy is also used to big investors because it is a tried and tested that is deemed to give you good return but in the long run.

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.

I don't think it's a waste of time at all knowledge and information are the foundation for a successful life, including investing in Bitcoin. Perhaps someone doesn't have an income right now, preventing them from investing, but we don't know in the future who knows maybe they'll have a steady income and be able to invest in Bitcoin using the DCA method. Anyone can invest no matter how small as long as they're consistent and their investments will grow.

What I mean is, in this digital era, where everything has evolved, knowledge is crucial and no knowledge is wasted if it can't be applied now. Perhaps one day they can apply what they've learned. Many people have a lot of money but lack adequate knowledge, which ultimately leads to failure. Therefore, knowledge and information about Bitcoin are never wasted in fact they are a strength that motivates us to seek income to invest in Bitcoin.

[7juju]

I won't consider someone who has knowledge about bitcoin without investigating in it as a failure. There could be other factors that might be limiting him from investing in bitcoin at the moment. It could be that he is not financially capable at the moment to start up bitcoin investment.
The fact that he knows what bitcoin is and the freedom that comes with having bitcoin is some how okay, that alone makes him a potential investor. The knowledge he has in bitcoin will be beneficial to him in the future when he decides to invest, as he won't be depending on anyone to help him again. Also he can teach others who are in need of gaining bitcoin knowledge and being charging fees from them.

It is not a waste of time, a business-centric mind will never waste their time on thinking and sharing alone, they are secretly investing in and you could never know it. Investing in Bitcoin is not rocket science, and you don't have to be rich to invest in it. You can start as little as $20 to $2k, you don't have to invest big if $2k is big. Invest $20 or at least $10 in the start and DCA is the best strategy for those who want to accumulate for the long term. It is not financial advice, even if I am 90% sure that he can make a profit by the end of 2 halvings or at least 1 halving.

But I will still give a disclaimer.
Your friend can do a lot, he just needs motivation and the right knowledge because knowing what Bitcoin is and how it can be used for speculation and investment is not enough, a person needs more guidance on how to start. If you think it is wise, then bring your friend to the forum here, he can learn from the best.
