Precisely this can be wrong if used as a benchmark for our own standards because ultimately when we talk about buying bitcoin as a starting benchmark then we must look at our own standards including in terms of poverty and wealth.
We will not be able to follow other people's standards even though in the sense that it may be justified but when our reference in investing or other things we do not only adhere to existing theories and standards because this will be very difficult to adjust to ourselves.
People who can still gamble means that they can still afford to buy bitcoin and that is a fact regardless of how big or small the amount is but they can still buy only they do not make this an option and the reason for poverty because they can not buy is just an excuse because they can still buy but instead do not do and choose the option to buy beer or lottery.
The standard that you say will only be a theory because the fact that it will happen is only based on ourselves including the standards that we create ourselves.
So yeah as I was saying when you exclude the absolute poverty people, and you should, then these poor people can be blamed for making the wrong choices. It is not a question of having enough money or not to choose Bitcoin, they have enough money but they are making other choices and often these choices hurt them when Bitcoin could actually help them. We need to put back responsibility and fault at the level of individual and stop looking for excuses for all sorts of people and their wrong decisions. It can be harsh, but that is the correct way to do it. It does not help anybody when we find and justify their excuses. People can choose better, they should choose Bitcoin!
Bitcoin is not as risky as some people see it, the only side of Bitcoin that is risky and that I will always advise new beginners to avoid if they're not prepare for it is trading Bitcoin, trading is very risky and if you are trading Bitcoin your finance will be at big risk because you can lose it at any time however if you are accumulating and holding bitcoin for long-term then you have no problem or what so ever fear because you won't lose your money all you need to do is to be patient and keep on holding on to that Bitcoin and in the future you are going to have some profit from your holding or your long term Bitcoin investment.
People who were not traders before Bitcoin should not trade Bitcoin or any crypto, it is as simple as that. These days it sometimes seem to me that people get confused from the ability of some tools and somehow the accessibility pushes them to do things that they should not do. Trading and leverage is dangerous for most people, I would never recommend that.
