Chapter 1: The Misunderstanding of Bitcoin's Popularity

For those who have fully embraced the world of Bitcoin, a common misconception often arises. Many of us tend to overestimate the number of individuals genuinely engaged with Bitcoin and how soon it might achieve widespread acceptance. We struggle to comprehend why others don't share our perspective. To us, it seems crystal clear that Bitcoin represents the future and is destined to reach a value of $1 million per coin.

Despite the remarkable journey Bitcoin has undergone since its inception, surpassing all expectations, skepticism once loomed large. If one were to wager, it would have seemed likely that Bitcoin would either fade into obscurity, be deemed illegal, or face outright bans from authorities.

However, circumstances are evolving. Bitcoin enthusiasts have come to recognize the systemic flaws in our financial systems. A stark illustration of this is the ongoing banking crisis in the US, which has served as a wake-up call for many. For the first time in a century, people were starkly reminded that the funds in their bank accounts may not truly belong to them. The government’s intervention to rescue banks sparked real panic and highlighted the intrinsic value of Bitcoin.

Owning Bitcoin empowers individuals to have full control over their assets. It eliminates the need for third-party involvement in transactions and allows for the freedom to transfer coins at will. Bitcoin offers a route to escape the traditional financial infrastructure while safeguarding wealth from inflation. It remains secure from freezing or confiscation, prompting many to recognize its importance and start investing in it.

Unfortunately, the number of individuals awakening to this reality is far smaller than we might wish. The uncomfortable truth is that many people continue to trust banks, regard cash as supreme, and remain oblivious to the erosion of their wealth due to inflation.

Bitcoin advocates frequently overestimate the actual number of individuals engaged with Bitcoin—those who own it, understand its functionality, and stay informed about market developments. Although we often claim millions possess Bitcoin worldwide, the true number of active "Bitcoiners" is likely much lower.

Consider your circle of friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances. How many of them hold a significant amount of Bitcoin? Now, reflect on how many of them truly grasp its potential and are informed about its workings. The answer is likely a disappointingly small fraction.

As dedicated Bitcoin enthusiasts, we possess a strong belief in the future of this asset and the broader market. This conviction brings with it a crucial responsibility. If we aspire for Bitcoin to gain mainstream traction and reach the lofty price points we envision, we must take it upon ourselves to educate those around us. We need to illuminate how the financial world functions, clarify the essence of money, and convey the profound value that Bitcoin offers. If we want Bitcoin to thrive, collective action is essential.

Ask not what Bitcoin can do for you. Instead, consider what you can do for Bitcoin.
