Aren't you the guy that's rich in bitcoins? It's easy saying to invest when you're already rich, don't you think? Unless you buy something really cheap and you're lucky enough to watch it grow, it's a gamble.
I am. I suppose it is far easier to invest when you already have a lot of money. It is also far easier to get even richer, as obviously a factor 5 does not have the same absolute impact on a $1K capital and a $100K capital.
However, there have been windows of opportunities in the last years, notably in 2016, where a mere $200 investment in Ethereum could have made you very rich if you held. These windows have closed, unfortunately, as far as I can see. I don't know if new ones will come. The crypto ecosystem is now too mature to allow easy profits.
Currently, it's not anymore about getting rich with a low starting investment, but envisioning a x2, a x5 in one to three years if you're lucky, and more in three to fifteen years. Beyond all the greed, the stupidity and the chaos, the booms and the busts, the essential principle and promise of the crypto ecosystem, freeing wealth from the shackles of the banking system and the State apparatus, remains as strong as on its first day. Crypto, despite all the scams and scandals, and fleeced idiots, continues to embody technologically the perspective of "immortal, international, unseizable wealth" (a Jewish dream undoubtedly, but one that, as far as I can see, has always been opened up to everyone).
It is my expectation that far from disappearing into irrelevance, the crypto ecosystem will continue to grow silently, over the
decades, steadily ignoring all the noise and the scandals, the bullshit journalism and the sour grapes of those who lost money, out of pure technical merit, until one day an entire country has ceased to use the currency of their government.
Someone who dismisses crypto out of sour grapes will find himself in the same situation as someone who adamantly refuses to put electric light in his living room because he lost money on electric stocks back in time.
