Many outsiders haven't bought Bitcoin because the personal ability required to buy Bitcoin in China is far beyond what most people possess.

From the moment someone sees information related to Bitcoin to finally buying Bitcoin, I believe they need to pass three hurdles:
1 / Curiosity, enough to drive them to explore deeply, even if the curiosity is sparked by negative news
2 / Intelligence, enough to analyze and draw the correct conclusion
3 / Courage, enough to believe in their own conclusion

Many believe that hurdles 1 and 2 prevent ordinary people from buying Bitcoin early or mid-term. But in reality, there are also many who fall at hurdle 3, like my group of so-called high-IQ classmates.

Kant said, “Enlightenment is humanity’s exit from its self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one’s own reason without guidance from others.”

In fact, in China, most people's logical reasoning is limited to accepting authoritative corrections after the fact and unconditionally accepting them. When authority firmly denies it, they immediately forget their own reasoning results and slap themselves a few times to show “I dare not.”

In other words, as long as the state does not approve, they dare not buy, even if they previously understood that Bitcoin is a good thing.

In other words, they may not have even received enlightenment education (no matter how high their education level), and are likely to maintain this state until they are buried.
