We all know that bitcoin isn't really a get-rich-quick scheme, but we can also agree that entering bitcoin is all about getting rich after years of trading and investing. It can be a slow process of wealth creation, but the idea of getting rich with bitcoin is always there.
Becoming rich is way.... beyond just making a million dollars from a lucky investment. It involves a good financial knowledge on wealth management and building.
Two individuals can be working in the same firm, earning the same amount, but 1 can end up more financially stable than the other because of their lifestyle, mentality, and economical discipline. So, being "rich" involves more than a single investment. We should also know that most time, luck is involved.
But for a lot of us here, my question is, is bitcoin all about getting rich or its one way escaping the system that has been setting us an authority to make us controlled and secretly manipulated? Your different points of view are highly welcome.
In as much as a whole lot of us will claim that "Bitcoin helps us escape the government", this is not exactly true. Unless you're a very successful miner, you still have to put in the work in real life to earn, you still have to spend your coins and off-ramp to fiat, you still have to live in the society. Bitcoin can make you have full custody and control of your coin, but you can't really escape; Bitcoin itself is still regulated by the government, so I don't believe the "escape" theory one bit.
I can say it provides so shield, opportunity and a little bit of hedge over the economy and government; but not to escape.
For me, Bitcoin is all about getting rich one day. If I keep investing with good strategy, I might just make it big one day—it creates that opportunity for me.
