A waste of time?

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?

Do you know that having knowledge about Bitcoin open your eyes to alot of bad things the government has been doing. Understanding Bitcoin and it applications will make you open eye to many things the government do behind bars. So your friend might not have Bitcoin but if he has know about Bitcoin he will understand spending, investment and why not to save. By the way, what's life without Bitcoin, you never can tell if he has Bitcoin but refused to let you know.

Perhaps your friend is hidding a lot from you and doesn't want you to know that he has some Bitcoin, that's how some people can be private. You know that there are some aspects of Bitcoin that you can never understand until you practically use it. So, practically if your friend knows Bitcoin like you said he definitely has some Bitcoin but it should never be your concern, try and get your own Bitcoin and worry not about another person business.

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.

The guy who knows about medicine is more useful and has more valuable knowledge in life than the guy who does not know about medicine. Of course you do not need to be an investor to understand Bitcoin. But if you understand Bitcoin, you already have an advantage over someone who does not. And many people would pay good money for access to that kind of knowledge...

[Tungbulu]

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.

True. The best and most important part of having Bitcoin knowledge is putting that knowledge into practice and really experimenting and experiencing the practical aspects of investing in Bitcoin. You can really call one a soldier if they’ve never been on the field before, same way you can’t call one an investor if they’ve never actually accumulated Bitcoin, you can rather call them Bitcoin enthusiasts and not actual investors.

True, this statement simply proves that any knowledge acquired is not a waste of time.  Now, whether the person will apply it or not is dependent on his own judgement.

I agree that many people are paying just to get any information they want. This is also one of the major reasons why informative channels have subscription fees, and yet thrive because people are hungry for knowledge, especially when that knowledge becomes a hot topic.  Just like Bitcoin information, although many offers free knowledge, there are others who take profit on their knowledge about Bitcoin.

The need for early education before going far by investing in Bitcoin is very necessary.
Someone who really wants to get into Bitcoin will definitely read a wide variety of references on whether Bitcoin is safe for long-term investment or not.

Learning something especially related to future technology is not a waste of time, it is knowledge that needs to be known so that we know how Bitcoin and the crypto ecosystem work.
More people start learning in crypto, leverage Web3 in crypto to make more money and start buying Bitcoin for long-term investments, it will be an amazing portfolio.

I have been on this Forum for 10 years and from the beginning I learned crypto and Bitcoin,
also because I got used to it then I got more benefits and advantages in the form of rewards for learning Bitcoin on this forum.
No one wastes time, only those who are inconsistent will waste time.

Let me get you correctly did you mean having the knowledge about Bitcoin but not able to invest in Bitcoin due to financial challenges or lack of discretionary? If yes, then I think it is an achievement reason been that you can still invest when you figure out your discretionary it is better you have the knowledge about Bitcoin investment earlier before figuring out your discretionary, although everyone have the right to do as they wish when it comes to Bitcoin investment.

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

No! I won't consider myself as total failure provided that I'm getting paid to teach people about Bitcoin even though I don't have discretionary income to invest but the money they are paying me will cover the shame or the stress, I can only consider it as failure if they are not paying me to teach people about Bitcoin.

There is nothing in vain and no waste of time, all forms of knowledge on this earth if we study it and we understand it is a valuable experience and knowledge, just like you study war techniques but you have never fought, you can explain it to other people and those who are fighting, so with bitcoin, if we understand bitcoin from upstream to downstream and its development and the ins and outs of bitcoin then you pass it on to other people and those other people buy bitcoin it can be said that your knowledge is very useful, you are part of the bitcoiner movement in educating people to recognize bitcoin.

Even though it sounds ridiculous when you preach about bitcoin but don't have bitcoin.

I would say it’s an achievement to have knowledge about bitcoin,because with that knowledge you can achieve most important things in the crypto space.People are paid to enlighten the public about digital currencies and bitcoin would definitely be involved in a discussion where digitalized currency is the topic of the day.Don’t get it twisted,whatever knowledge you have could be used effectively to produce something useful.No knowledge is a waste,even if it doesn’t seem useful at the moment it may be useful in the future.So in my own opinion,I don’t consider bitcoin knowledge a waste of time or a total failure.

Any knowledge broadens our horizons and helps us think on a larger scale. But it’s important that this knowledge does not remain only theoretical, it should also have an outlet in the real world, and we should use it to improve our quality of life. In the end, people who take action are usually more successful than those who know a lot but do nothing. That’s why it’s important to understand many things through practice, not just by studying theory.

It’s definitely an achievement. I don’t know the reason why you going to be having bitcoin knowledge and you won’t be investing in bitcoin, maybe it might just be a financial problem, or maybe there is any other reasons for not investing, but as long as you having the knowledge about bitcoin, you might not invest in bitcoin now, but later in the future you might be investing so your knowledge isn’t wasted.

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

Teaching and spreading news about is a great achievement to me, am always happy when someone gets to know about bitcoin through me, because I know have contributed to spreading of bitcoin awareness, so why will I consider myself a total failure. I might just be spreading bitcoin awareness today, but will be part of bitcoin holders later in the future.

All knowledge is valuable, and your friend, or anyone in a similar situation, should think about how to use that knowledge instead of complaining and feeling like they wasted their time. Wasting time is focusing on problems and not seeing possible solutions. There are many people who would pay for someone's knowledge. Investing doesn't require much; if you can buy at least a little each month, that's a start. That little bit can become a lot over time. I also have my own business, and the only things I can manage now are paying the bills and maintaining my home, and I'm grateful for that; some people can barely support themselves...

Let say everyone that ever invested in bitcoin decide to learn about bitcoin without investing in it. This means bitcoin won't have gotten to were it is today. Having knowledge is good but what we do with it is very essential. Having knowledge about bitcoin without investing in it will only leads to regrets. If we should go back to when bitcoin started there are people that refuse to invest in it even after getting to know about it, most of this people are living in regrets. Investing in bitcoin is beneficial than just having a knowledge about it without investing in it.
