Becoming a believer really does require the right opportunity and fate. Some people, when they’re broke and have nothing to their name, join Bitcoinism—these are naturally gifted “conversion” material. But most people should be like Nangong Yuan: they must first earn a round of big money, then take a round of big losses, and only after more than 10 years of observation come to realize that Bitcoin is the hardest asset—only then might they be able to become a believer.
