For many, one of the best-known and most attractive aspects of bitcoin is the price, but most traders quickly find out that the price is more difficult to predict than expected. A better way to wealth is therefore perhaps to simply buy some bitcoin (s) and then put your time into contributing to the development of bitcoin. So, bitcoin developer!
Part of the growth of bitcoin is an adventure in itself, driven by technological innovation and ideological ideas, but bitcoin will not make everyone millionaire every day. As we have seen in the past: if you step in at the wrong time, without the determination to hold the investment for possibly many years and the sound understanding of bitcoin as an investment, that can turn out negative. Therefore, trading is not for everyone. Of course, the course remains interesting.
When you crawl in this movement, your image of bitcoin changes from 'nerdy digital e-money' as a money tree to means of payment that has the potential to change the world and to blur boundaries. Just like the internet has done, bitcoin has the chance to make the world a lot smaller. Only when you start to see the implications of the technology can you form a good picture of bitcoin as an investment. When you do this, it may well be that you realize that investing in bitcoin is secondary. Primary is the use of bitcoin as global, confidential and decentralized payment method. And who knows, perhaps you decide with this newly-found insight to contribute to the development of the protocol and the infrastructure around it.
