RE: Bitcoin Vs. Gold

I don't remember what the name of it is, but there is a psychological phenomenon that we all suffer, or potentially suffer, from that can prevent us from "jumping on a bandwagon" of something that has become popular and that we weren't on board with from the beginning.

Like for an instance a television show:

A new television show debuts, but you miss the initial hype and don't join the hysteria. Later on, the show continues being popular, but due to the fact that you weren't on board from the beginning, you feel resentment towards the entire spectacle of it all.

I see lots of this with the movement against Bitcoin.

Though there are legitimate criticisms, or skepticism, in there, too.

Sort:  

I have done the same, really odd that people do it in almost every aspect of life.

There's a logical explanation for it, but I don't remember what it is.
