Ah Bitcoins or Altcoins in general.. Still feels like a gamble. If you were lucky you were somehow notified on the existence of Bitcoin and paid attention and understood its potential. So you figured 'ah what the heck' and invested a few dollars or euro's in it still realizing though that the odds of becoming rich with this would be perhaps 1 in a million. Fast forward 4/5 years and all of a sudden you're sitting on a pile of serious cash. And stories of this happening to people hit the news and all of a sudden a lot of people are jumping on several altcoin trains as we speak.

I'm sure there are a few people that dislike government, or perhaps just dislike paying taxes or giving up privacy. I think there a lot of different reasons for people investing in bitcoin at the time and a few more now with all the new people because more and more stories hit the news about possible major potential now that the altcoin world is exploding. But I feel that the majority are simply triggered by FOMO and feel like there are really good odds in this game of poker. And turns out, a lot of people are able to make serious gains. But I wonder how long this will last though... a time will come where there are only a few blockchains and crypto's left which will rule the digital space.

But for us 'investors' out here. Let's hope we will not hit that stage very soon. ;)
