Bitcoin is not the only financial instrument or investment that generates profits. It is not the only way to improve our lives either.
It would be an exaggeration and somewhat short sighted to suggest that it is the last hope for the common man.
You're not alone, I believe that is why we all chose Bitcoin over other asset. The naked truth is we chose Bitcoin because we believe it offers faster and larger returns than any other investment, all other reasons are secondary.
I think what Rockstarguy meant is actually that bitcoin is the only hope that the common has for store of value not necessarily for profit making alone. The common man cannot go and buy those precious metals or have that such huge amount of money to actually invest in shares or start up some businesses, but with bitcoin they can actually invest as little as $10 unlike other assets. In this context at the moment I think it’s the last hope for the common man.
But I clearly get your point, bitcoin isn’t a poverty alleviation scheme because it is not a job or something like that, it shouldn’t also be exaggerated as a get rich quick scheme that anyone can just invest and get rich, it’s also has its own risk too
With just $10, you can not invest in physical assets like gold or silver but with the same amount, you can absolutely invest in stock. Currently, there are many platform that support buying fractional shares or investing in digital gold with small amounts of capital.
Honestly, I fully support and encourage people to invest in Bitcoin instead of other asset classes. Because it offers us more opportunities, but we do not need to exaggerate it excessively. Or consider it a lifeline or the only path forward for common man.
Statements like that can easily make common man feel discouraged or hopeless. That would create the feeling that if they do not invest in Bitcoin, they will not have any other opportunity to improve their lives.
Bitcoin is a good opportunity, but it is not the only way forward.
