I think many people will be perfectly happy staying on step one, but, as you note, that's the hardest step.
Most people aren't passionate about their principles. They just want to keep what they've earned.

You could also say the fear motivates a lot of people to try to keep what they have and not lose it. However, they don’t fear enough, IMHO. It is the platforms, exchanges and FTXs of the world that are ripping them new ones. If they held it themselves they would do better with less fear, I think.

It looks like you may be right. They are still in the fiat set of mind.
