A waste of time?

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

It's like joining the club but, you don't have to be an investor if you want to be part of the bitcoin movement. You're already part of this great community.

Movement? Movement of what? I can't understand. As for me, the main goal is to make money with the help of Bitcoin so you need to invest. Nothing more, nothing less.

Bitcoin movement, it's like an organization or this society or community that we are a part of.

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

There are two separate things in this.  Having a knowledge about Bitcoin is an achievement but not being able to invest in it to take advantage of the market and make a profit is a failure as an investor.

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

As I stated, there are two things in this: one is academic and the one is economic.  As a person who teaches bitcoin to other people is an achievement academically, while unable to invest somehow shows that there is an economic constraint which others saw it as a 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.

I do not think yor friend wasted his time knowing about BTC.  As a businessman, knowledge of another payment option is a powerful tool to improve his business.

Having knowledge about bitcoin but not being able to invest in it is not a failure because a person’s situation does not always remain the same. If someone understands bitcoin but does not have the money, it is normal that they cannot invest in bitcoin for the time being. But when that person becomes a bit more financially stable and can use some amount for investment, they will definitely buy bitcoin. Since they already know about bitcoin, when the opportunity comes, they will surely make good use of it.

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

Teaching is very important because to teach someone about bitcoin, a person must have enough knowledge first and only then can they explain it properly to others. Teaching can never be considered a failure because the one who teaches already has a good level of understanding. Sharing knowledge and helping others learn about bitcoin should never be seen as something unsuccessful.

If his business grows rapidly, I'm sure he can achieve much greater financial freedom and perhaps changes to his business may be necessary to understand why it's not growing. Learning about Bitcoin while running a business is also possible as it doesn't require a significant amount of time as many people who run businesses also invest in Bitcoin. Conversely, it's much easier for people who run businesses to invest in Bitcoin as long as the business is growing well and has the capital to invest in Bitcoin. If time is used optimally for positive things, I'm sure it will lead to something much better, even if there are some initial failures and that's a process that must be overcome.

It's not a movement, it's an industry full of technological innovations lead by Bitcoin being the very first of its kind and the best among them all. You should ask your friend; do all those people who study something actually manage to get a job in that industry at the end and start making money through the knowledge they have gained? No, that's not the case with most of the people who study a specific thing or gain experience in it, and when they can't start making money from the field they have gained all their knowledge and experience in, they start trying other things, and then actually start making money from somewhere else.

So, the point is, gaining knowledge or experience about something can never be useless, because that knowledge or experience can be useful at some point in life for sure. What if he doesn't have any money to invest in it right now? Maybe, in the future, he has his financial condition changed and has money, and that is when his knowledge is going to be useful for him because then he can start either making investments or trading in the crypto market.

No knowledge is a waste. As long as you have the right knowledge about Bitcoin and appreciate the invention, you are already part of the movement. Without neccessarily being an investor, you can earn by teaching the knowledge you have acquired and share very useful content/information about Bitcoin through a platform you created for this purpose. With the rate at which misleading information are spreading on the internet, the world right now need more genuine and authentic information about Bitcoin.

Knowledge is power, one day the right opportunity will present itself and you will be glad you know and understand Bitcoin.

It is still a huge achievement bro, because a person who knows something about bitcoin is much better than another person who is totally unaware of the digital currency and how it works, and how it has changed the lives of many. Even if the person who knows what bitcoin is, and all that, but he is not investing in it but runs a business.

He builds an investing mindset and he is already used to taking risks, so he will take risks by investing in bitcoin too, although for him it won't be a risk, so a businessman will always benefit from the opportunities that have been presented to him. Maybe they have to wait for some time but eventually they will invest.

[Anthony Bill]

Is a big achievement man. Hope you know that the knowledge will not expire even though you are not investing in Bitcoin now because you can use that knowledge to impact your love ones to start investing in Bitcoin in the future. There are some people that are doing great today through Bitcoin investment but he did not start investing in Bitcoin until he understand all the things he need to achieve before investing and he is doing great in Bitcoin investment.

[Byebyebtc]

Well I will not consider it a TOTAL waste of time. Because knowledge do attract opportunities as well apart from investment there are still other things you can do with Bitcoin's knowledge.

But before you got the knowledge what was you intension, what drove you to learn about Bitcoin? If it is investment then I think you do have to invest, but if you don't invest and you are not still financially stable as well, then I do feel it was a waste of time to an extent, you would have used that time to learn something else,

But if you are already financially stable the it will be considered that you must have already achieved your goal of financial stability, and your interest of Bitcoin might decrease even when you have knowledge about it.

There should be no right basis for being a bitcoiner who only has bitcoin, there are also a lot of traders out there who have bitcoin but don't know what bitcoin is, I think the person who is part of this movement is taking part in spreading what bitcoin is to all corners of the world even though he doesn't have bitcoin in his wallet, but it's very ridiculous if he knows bitcoin but also has altcoins in his wallet, unless someone really doesn't have anything in his wallet, in a way having bitcoin doesn't mean anything, it's just hard to trust people who can't even afford to own one. 0.0000001 BTC.

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

There's no such thing as failure when someone shares news about Bitcoin... at least in doing so, they're contributing to spreading the word about Bitcoin to more people. While not everyone will be immediately interested or understand it, if they're consistent, one or more people should become interested and start investing their money in Bitcoin. So, if they only teach and share information about Bitcoin that they know, that's fine. It might take time for them to invest their money in Bitcoin, but sooner or later, that person will have their own Bitcoin if they have the knowledge.

[Japinat]

Let us be realistic here, investing is not as easy as it is like everyone is thinking. You have to prepare yourself to lose part of your lifetime savings, now if you are not ready to take that risk, then no need to rush yourself for it. There's always a perfect timing, don't force yourself.

However, do not stop learning about crypto and bitcoin, that is already an edge for you once you start dealing with the crypto market.

For now, acquiring knowledge and learning from other investors experiences are already achievements. Not all people are able to do that. And you can always help those people who are in need of your knowledge and wisdom, sharing is caring.

It's a frustrating situation your friend is facing. To live in order to pay bills and eat is modern slavery. It completely kills the expectations of someone towards his finances. However, it's not the end of the line for your friend. There must be a way out of this cycle, he just hasn't figured out how to do this yet.

Once he does, all the knowledge he acquired about Bitcoin will be useful, as he will be finally able to invest a portion of money on it. I hope he succeeds and put all he has learned into good use to improve his personal financial conditions.

It is a very good idea to gain knowledge about Bitcoin, you are gaining knowledge and also teaching someone else. However, it is necessary to gain knowledge about Bitcoin, but it is also very necessary to be related to investment. Because if you can achieve financial success in the future, then Bitcoin investment will definitely play a role in filling the biggest financial gap for you. In this, gaining knowledge about Bitcoin and creating interest in Bitcoin investment by someone else is a good thing in both respects.

You can be a developer and contribute to the coding process. This does not need you to spend money but does need knowing which everyone might not be qualified enough for.

The easiest way to be a part of bitcoin is by using it and to use it you will surely need to invest in it and or hold it over time.

Dont feel bad if you cannot join in right away. It is a long drawn process and there are always better prices to buy back at, you should wait for those to hit.

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

Well, I don't know what other users have said but for me, I think having adequate knowledge on bitcoin and how it operates is one thing, then being in a financial position where you are able to buy and hold bitcoin as an investment is another thing also, so in other words, I can say that having knowledge about bitcoin and not being able to buy and hold it does not mean the knowledge is a waste, no, it not, no knowledge is ever waste except we deliberately choose to call it a waste..

The fact that a person can not be able to buy bitcoin today does not mean that he or she won't be able to buy bitcoin forever, life is dynamic, it changes and whoever does not have money to buy bitcoin today may turn out to have money to buy tomorrow, so in this type of case, having the knowledge before hand is even a good advantage.
Using myself as an example, I got to know about bitcoin when I was very broke and could hardly feed properly, I read alot at the time about bitcoin, I loved it and was eager to invest in it but I had no money, I just simply kept lurking around here on this forum and participating in discussions which helped me to enhance my knowledge even more, and not quite long after, opportunity came up for me, from which I made some money and from there, I bought bitcoin for the first time.

Teaching is one way people have been able to earn from Bitcoin and this is not including their investments, they can decide to invest since they have the knowledge but if they decide to teach, and they know that which they are teaching very well, such that it is tested and trusted, they can place a premium fee on the classes and make good money, he may not get too many students but the few he is going to get are going to get him good profit and value for the knowledge he is giving out.

It is of advantage if he is also an investor, and that is because not only is he going to benefit by virtue of making profit form his investment, he is also going to practice that which he teaches and will be able to defend that which he is teach as a tested knowledge that is working  and has worked for him. so if he has the knowledge, it is and was not a waste of time to learn, all he needs do is to put the knowledge to use and start making money form it.

[Rockstarguy]

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

There is no essence in having knowledge about Bitcoin if you don’t see yourself investing in it. I don’t think this is possible. All those who are criticizing Bitcoin do so because they don’t understand it; they have a poor understanding of Bitcoin.

The reason why people strive to have knowledge of Bitcoin is that they understand the value in it, and this value can only be gained by investing in Bitcoin. Learning to gain knowledge is an investment, and if you are not interested in investing your money, you won’t even bother to acquire knowledge. People are interested in gaining knowledge about things from which they will benefit.

Your topic hits the nail on the head, and I want to say that every potential investor who has a thirst for knowledge and a love of technical analysis thinks about it, but unfortunately, there is not enough money in life to spare. The kind of money that he could actually invest . And such a person is someone who is very careful in life and does not want to end up without money in everyday life because of a trading position.
Or it's someone who just hasn't found the opportunity to earn more money yet, which could be the way to a trading position. In any case, I believe that such a person is considered an investor at heart.

[Royal Cap]

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

Well I wanted to say that just by buying Bitcoin, someone will be part of this movement, it is not that simple. There are many people who initially just learned to understand the things, and later invested when they got the opportunity. On the other hand there are many who hold Bitcoin but do not really understand what it is or why it is important, they do it because they have seen others. So having knowledge is a valuable thing in itself. In reality, many times it is seen that someone understands the technology well but cannot buy it due to financial conditions, it would not be right to call him a failure. Learning and spreading awareness in this place is also a big contribution.
