Being realistic doesn’t make you stupid. Why not every investor out there is betting on bitcoin

It's fascinating how many Bitcoin enthusiasts in this Reddit-group love to claim that professional investors not investing in BTC is "stupid" or just doesn’t understand it. What’s even more amusing is their unshakable belief that they know what will happen to Bitcoin in the future. Let me break it to you: predicting the future of any asset, especially one as volatile as Bitcoin, is like trying to predict the weather a year in advance—it’s guesswork at best.

Let’s be clear: the fact that most professional investors—many of whom have a high risk tolerance—don’t pile into Bitcoin doesn’t mean they’re clueless. Most professional investors are people who analyze markets for a living, not Reddit warriors claiming to have crystal balls. If anything, their hesitance shows they understand that Bitcoin, while revolutionary, is also a high-risk asset with an uncertain future. Its regulatory status is still evolving, the market is subject to wild fluctuations, and the technology is still in its infancy compared to traditional assets.

Not all hesitation stems from ignorance. Some of it comes from experience, from knowing that no one can guarantee the future. So before calling people dumb, maybe take a moment to recognize that being skeptical of a highly speculative asset doesn't mean they "don't get it"—it means they might just be a bit more realistic than the rest of us.
