When you see a video on this X, the accompanying caption says, “Everyone is against Bitcoin before they are for it.” The gist is that everyone first opposes Bitcoin, and only later truly comes around.
At first glance, it sounds like a slogan. But looking back over these past decades, the timing has really played out this way.
In the early days, people just mocked it—calling it a scam, a tulip bubble, or a money-laundering tool. Later, institutions started studying it: ETFs got approved, and public companies moved BTC onto their balance sheets. The voices of doubt didn’t disappear—they just changed hands to a different group of people.
The point I’ve felt most strongly is this: people’s attitude toward new things usually changes only after they start researching it themselves. If someone hasn’t read the whitepaper, hasn’t touched a wallet, and hasn’t gone through a full cycle, they will naturally use familiar logic to deny things they’re not familiar with.
Applied to practice, the takeaway this video gives me is very straightforward.
Don’t join the bearish chorus when group sentiment is at its worst, and don’t rush in when sentiment is at its hottest. In the market, most people enter long after they’re late. The real cost advantage is reserved for those who are willing to spend time understanding it early.
My approach is to hold the core position and not change long-term judgment due to short-term noise. If you can’t make sense of the narrative, touch it less—don’t force yourself into the excitement.
With Bitcoin, faith is never something handed to you by others. It’s something you work out, layer by layer.
