This Mistake Could Cause You to Miss a Fortune

This Mistake Could Cause You to Miss a Fortune

Imagine it’s 2007. You’re reading a newspaper and see that Apple has launched a new tech device called the iPhone.

You think it’s a brilliant idea and are convinced millions of people will buy this new device.

But you’re unsure about your gut feeling. So, you decide against investing in Apple shares right away.

Instead, you tell yourself, “I’ll wait and see how this plays out.”

Nine years later, the number of iPhones Apple sold globally hits 1 billion.

You open your brokerage account and finally decide to buy Apple shares. And when you hit the buy button, you start kicking yourself in the rear.

Your hesitation caused you to miss out on 497% gains.

Now, imagine it’s 2010. You go online and read that Tesla is about to go public.

You believe electric vehicles (EVs) are the future. And mass adoption of EVs is likely certain in the decades to come.

Again, doubt nibbles at you. The company isn’t profitable yet. So you talk yourself out of buying shares.

Instead, you tell yourself, “I’ll wait and see how this plays out.”

In 2020, Tesla announces its first profitable year.

You open your brokerage account and finally decide to buy Tesla shares. And when you hit the buy button, you kick yourself in the rear again. (By now, your tush is pretty sore.)

Your wavering caused you to miss out on 31,687% gains.

Here’s why I’m telling you this…

If you wait to buy an asset until it achieves mass adoption or becomes the clear winner in its space, you’ve already missed out on the biggest gains.

And if you don’t want to kick yourself in the rear five years from now, you’ll read what I have to say below very closely.

The Biggest Bitcoin Buyers Are Closing In

When bitcoin launched in 2009, only a small group of tech nerds, geeks, and “anarchists” were aware of it.

Today, an estimated 106 million people own bitcoin.

Now, 106 million may seem like a lot of people. And it is. But there are over 8 billion people on the planet. That means just about 1.3% of humanity owns bitcoin.

So it’s clear we haven’t reached mass adoption – yet.

Americans didn’t have a relatively easy way to buy bitcoin until the launch of Coinbase in 2013.

At the time, bitcoin was trading around $13. Since then, bitcoin has traded as high as $109,000 – an 838,361% increase. And bitcoin achieved that without mass adoption of the asset.

That means you still have a window of opportunity between now and complete global acceptance of bitcoin to make 10x gains. But that window may close soon. (More on that below.)

As Daily editor Teeka Tiwari reported last week, the Czech National Bank will formally consider holding billions of dollars’ worth of bitcoin in its reserves.

If ultimately approved, the central bank could eventually hold as much as 5% of its $146 billion reserves in bitcoin.

As Teeka wrote, “The fact that a central bank of this size is even considering adding bitcoin to its official reserves is mind blowing. Even two years ago, this would have been an inconceivable idea.”

Here’s the thing: The Czech central bank isn’t the only government institution looking into bitcoin.

In November 2024, Brazilian lawmaker Eros Biondini introduced a proposal to establish a bitcoin reserve in the country. And Polish presidential candidate Sławomir Mentzen vowed to create a bitcoin strategic reserve if he’s elected this year.

The next month, a Russian lawmaker proposed creating a bitcoin reserve for the country. (Russia also uses bitcoin for international payments, according to Finance Minister Anton Siluanov.) And a Hong Kong lawmaker pushed for bitcoin to be added to the territory’s fiscal reserve.

The fact that major countries like Brazil, Poland, and Russia are considering bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset suggests to me that mass adoption is on the way. But the biggest buyer of them all may beat them to it…

Last month, President Trump signed a new executive order titled, “Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology.”

Among other things, the order establishes the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets to strengthen and promote U.S. leadership in digital finance.

According to the order, the group will be tasked with developing a regulatory framework governing digital assets, including stablecoins, and evaluating the creation of a strategic national digital asset stockpile.

Crypto investors met this incredibly bullish news with a collective yawn.

Instead of actively buying bitcoin, some fear the U.S. government will simply hold onto the 183,422 bitcoin it has seized from illicit activities over the years.

These are the wafflers who focus on minutiae instead of the big picture. They’re like spoiled children who didn’t get everything they wanted on Day One.

President Trump’s been in office for just two weeks. And the U.S. government still isn’t buying bitcoin hand over fist? Oh boo-hoo!

But what these negative nancies fail to realize is this: The genie is already out of the bottle. And there’s no going back.

If there’s one thing you take away from this essay, let it be this…

This narrative has changed from “if” bitcoin will achieve mass adoption to “when.”

You Must Buy Before Mass Adoption, Not After

I know it’s easier to buy Apple after it sells 1 billion iPhones… Or Tesla after it achieves profitability. But that’s not how you generate life-changing gains.

To do that, you need to buy before mass adoption.

Five years ago, world governments were trying to ban bitcoin. Today, they’re licking their chops at the idea of buying bitcoin.

But they haven’t started buying yet.

And that gives you a window of opportunity. Because when they do, we could see bitcoin eventually surpass the value of the entire gold market, which is around $20 trillion.

If this happens, bitcoin would be worth $952,380 per token. That’s a nearly 10x increase in price from today’s levels. But if you wait to invest until central banks start buying it, bitcoin will be trading much higher than it is today. And you’ll be left kicking yourself in the rear once more.

Keep stacking bitcoin,

Editor’s Note: As I mentioned above, we believe bitcoin could 10x from current prices over the coming years.

While making a 10x is nothing to sneeze at, it won’t move the needle on your wealth unless you’re already wealthy.

But what bitcoin’s wider acceptance will do is usher in a massive wave of demand for smaller alternative coins that do things bitcoin can’t. We’re talking about tokens that will outperform bitcoin by 10x, 50x, even 100x.

Because they offer such massive potential outperformance, you don't have to risk a lot to make a lot. That means these are the types of opportunities that can radically change your financial life for the better without putting your current lifestyle at risk.

You see, there’s another imminent catalyst on the horizon that isn’t priced in yet. But it’s coming much faster than a strategic bitcoin reserve.

Teeka calls it “The Convergence.”

The Convergence is the confluence of three generational trends that will remake the leadership of the crypto markets.

These catalysts include the launch of crypto ETFs focused on a small subsector of these outperformers, which Teeka believes are on the horizon, and a friendlier regulatory landscape.

If you missed the first waves of bitcoin adoption, this could be your final chance to turn a handful of tiny grubstake investments into life-changing gains.
