Not having the means is a much different story. If one lacks them, there simply is not the opportunity to get involved. The same holds true with not knowing about something. Many were not aware of Tesla in the early days, as an example. After all, we cant know about every new project or company out there.
That said, when we are presented with something, we have to decide yes or no. Risk is certainly a barometer that people use. Many, even if they knew about an opportunity like Tesla or Amazon would not have gotten in; it isnt there cup of tea. Warren Buffett is a prime example of that.
However, in the end, even he looked foolish calling Bitcoin "rat poison". It is one thing to pass on an opportunity but something else to degrade it when it is on the path to success.
